Contemporary practices of international peacebuilding and
post-conflict reconstruction are often unsatisfactory. There is now
a growing awareness of the significance of local governments and
local communitites as an intergrated part of peacebuilding in order
to improve quality and enhance precision of interventions. In spite
of this, 'the local' is rarely a key factor in peacebuilding, hence
'everyday peace' is hardly achieved. The aim of this volume is
threefold: firstly it illuminates the substantial reasons for
working with a more localised approach in politically volatile
contexts. Secondly it consolidates a growing debate on the
significance of the local in these contexts. Thirdly, it
problematizes the often too swiftly used concept, 'the local', and
critically discuss to what extent it is at all feasible to
integrate this into macro-oriented and securitized contexts. This
is a unique volume, tackling the 'local turn' of peacebuilding in a
comprehensive and critical way. This book was published as a
special issue of Third World Quarterly.
