This book assesses the claim that peacebuilding is a moribund
international practice. Its contributors trace the origins of
peacebuilding, bring back to memory its moments of triumph, and
reflect on the reports of its decline. The story of peacebuilding
parallels the broader story of liberalism's rise and fall in world
politics, including the attempt to remedy an ailing patient by
administering a magic medicine - "the local turn". Its contributors
further write about what may come after peacebuilding as we still
know it. They describe more locally rooted attempts at building
peace and how they operate in the shadows of, and in an ambiguous
relationship with, governmental and international peacebuilders.
The book finally suggests that reports of the pending death of
peacebuilding are probably premature. Peacebuilding is a resilient
international practice, apt to adjust itself to a changing
environment, and too important a source of legitimacy for those
that wield power.
