This volume examines the dynamics of socio-political order in
post-colonial states across the Pacific Islands region and West
Africa in order to elaborate on the processes and practices of
peace formation. Drawing on field research and engaging with
post-liberal conceptualisations of peacebuilding, this book
investigates the interaction of a variety of actors and
institutions involved in the provision of peace, security and
justice in post-colonial states. The chapters analyse how different
types of actors and institutions involved in peace formation engage
in and are interpenetrated by a host of relations in the local
arena, making 'the local' contested ground on which different
discourses and praxes of peace, security and justice coexist and
overlap. In the course of interactions, new and different forms of
socio-political order emerge which are far from being captured
through the familiar notions of a liberal peace and a Weberian
ideal-type state. Rather, this volume investigates how (dis)order
emerges as a result of interdependence among agents, thus laying
open the fundamentally relational character of peace formation.
This innovative relational, liminal and integrative understanding
of peace formation has far-reaching consequences for
internationally supported peacebuilding. This book will be of much
interest to students of statebuilding, peace studies, security
studies, governance, development and IR.
