This volume connects the study of statebuilding to broader aspects
of social theory and the historical study of the state, bringing
forth new questions and starting-points, both academically and
practically, for the field. Building states has become a highly
prioritized issue in international politics. Since the 1990s,
mainly Western countries and international institutions have
invested large sums of money, vast amounts of manpower, and
considerable political capital in ventures of this kind all across
the globe. Most of the focus in current literature is on the acute
cases, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, but also to states that seem
to fit the label 'failed states' such as Liberia, Sierra Leone and
Somalia. This book brings together a diverse group of scholars who
introduce new theoretical approaches from the broader social
sciences. The chapters revisit historical cases of statebuilding,
and provide thought-provoking, new strategic perspectives on the
field. The result is a volume that broadens and deepens our
understanding of statebuilding by highlighting the importance of
hybridity, contingency and history in a broad range of
case-studies. This book will be of much interest to students of
statebuilding and intervention, peacebuilding, war and conflict
studies, security studies and IR in general.
