This book examines how neo-institutional statebuilding undercuts
international policy agency. Post-Cold War interventions are marked
by a peculiar paradox. From peace and statebuilding projects in
war-shattered societies to World Bank development programmes in
Africa, the scope of external regulation has grown consistently
while international policymakers are finding it increasingly
difficult to formulate a political project regarding the Global
South. This book seeks to make sense of a contradictory situation
in which international policymakers are doing more statebuilding
than ever while knowing less about it. The study argues that the
crisis of international agency is driven by the demise of
reductionist liberal-universal knowledge. It critically explores
neo-institutionalism as a dominant policy framework, bringing out
how the failure of intervention paves the way for more
comprehensive, context-sensitive and bottom-up engagement. As a
precondition and side-effect of this expansive process,
reductionist liberal-universal knowledge is deconstructed.
Paradoxically, the more policymakers learn within a
neo-institutional frame of reference, the less they positively
know. Without this epistemic foundation, it becomes difficult to
act purposively in the world and formulate instrumental policy. The
study illustrates these conceptual insights with reference to the
Merida Initiative, a U.S.-Mexican security agreement signed in
2007. Rethinking Neo-Institutional Statebuilding will be of much
interest to students of statebuilding, international intervention,
peace and conflict studies, Latin American politics and IR in
general.
