Despite calls for the decolonisation of knowledge, scholars who
come from conflict-affected societies remained marginalised,
excluded from the examination of the politics and impacts of
liberal interventionism. This edited volume gives local scholars a
platform from which they critically examine different aspects of
liberal interventionism and statebuilding in Kosovo. Drawing on
situational epistemologies and grounded approaches, the chapters in
this book interrogate a wide range of themes, including: the
politics of local resistance; the uneven relationship between
international statebuilders and local subjects; faking of local
ownership of security sector reform and the rule of law; heuristic
and practical limits of interventionism, as well as the subjugated
voices in statebuilding process, such as minorities and women. The
book finds that the local is not antidote to the liberal, and that
local perspectives are not monolithic. Yet, local critiques of
statebuilding do not seek to generate replicable knowledge; rather
they prefer generating situational and context-specific knowledge
be that to resolve problems or uncover the unresolved problems. The
book seeks to contribute to critical peace and conflict studies by
(re)turning the local turn to local scholars who come from
conflict-affected societies and who have themselves experienced the
transition from war to peace. This book is essential reading for
students and scholars of peace- and state-building, conflict
studies and international relations.
