This book interrogates the common perception that liberal peace is
in crisis and explores the question: can the local turn save
liberal peacebuilding? Presenting a case for a liberal renaissance
in peacebuilding, the work interrogates the assumptions behind the
popular perception that liberal peace is in crisis. It re-examines
three of the cases igniting the debate - Cambodia, Kosovo, and
Timor-Leste - and evaluates how these transitional administrations
implemented their liberal mandates and how local involvement
affected the conduct of their activities. In so doing, it reveals
that these cases were neither liberal nor peacebuilding. It also
demonstrates that while local involvement is imperative to
peacebuilding, illiberal local involvement restores an
elite-centred status quo and reinforces or creates new forms of
conflict and violence. Using both liberal and critical lenses, the
author ultimately argues that the conceptual and operational
departure from the holistic and comprehensive origins of liberal
peacebuilding in fact paved the way for the liberal peace crisis
itself. Drawing on analysis from in-depth field research and
interviews, this book will be of much interest to students of
peacebuilding, peacekeeping, statebuilding, security studies and
International Relations in general.
This book provides new insights into the development of integrated
approaches to peace and sustainability in the era of global change.
Since the late 1980s, and in order to regulate the increasingly
detrimental impacts of humans on the environment, the transition
towards sustainability has been high on the agenda of researchers
and policymakers alike. Meanwhile, peace considerations have
expanded in recent decades to include the varied types and sources
of conflict, from inter-state to intra-state conflicts due to
various social, political, economic, and environmental factors.
Through providing theoretical and empirical insights, this book
demonstrates that sustainability and peace as intrinsically
interrelated. The book elaborates on the multi-dimensional and
constantly evolving concepts of sustainability and peace. In
addition, the book contributes to a better understanding of the
complex and dynamic interlinkages between peace and sustainability
by presenting examples of pathways where sustainability and peace
interact considering the different factors and contexts that are
constantly shaping and reshaping the conditions for sustainable and
peaceful societies
