As a conflict ends and the parties begin working towards a durable
peace, practitioners and peacebuilders are faced with the
possibilities and challenges of building new or reformed political,
security, judicial, social, and economic structures. This Handbook
analyzes these elements of post-conflict state building through the
lens of international law, which provides a framework through which
the authors contextualize and examine the many facets of state
building in relation to the legal norms, processes, and procedures
that guide such efforts across the globe. The volume aims to
provide not only an introduction to and explanation of prominent
topics in state building, but also a perceptive analysis that
augments ongoing conversations among researchers, lawyers, and
advocates engaged in the field. The Research Handbook on
Post-Conflict State Building provides keen insights for faculty,
graduate and undergraduate students in programs related to peace
and conflict, governance, and international justice and law.
Practitioners such as United Nations staff, government officials,
international institution and think tanks engaged in post-conflict
state building will glean important lessons and guidance from the
Handbook's chapters. Contributors include: T. Beckelman, S.-T.

Like George Orwell, Franz Kafka has given his name to a world of
nightmare, but in Kafka's world, it is never completely clear just
what the nightmare is. The Trial, where the rules are hidden from
even the highest officials, and if there is any help to be had, it
will come from unexpected sources, is a chilling, blackly amusing
tale that maintains, to the very end, a relentless atmosphere of
disorientation. Superficially about bureaucracy, it is in the last
resort a description of the absurdity of 'normal' human nature.
Still more enigmatic is The Castle. Is it an allegory of a
quasi-feudal system giving way to a new freedom for the subject?
The search by a central European Jew for acceptance into a dominant
culture? A spiritual quest for grace or salvation? An individual's
struggle between his sense of independence and his need for
approval? Is it all of these things? And K? Is he opportunist,
victim, or an outsider battling against elusive authority? Finally,
in his fables, Kafka deals in dark and quirkily humorous terms with
the insoluble dilemmas of a world which offers no reassurance, and
no reliable guidance to resolving our existential and emotional
uncertainties and anxieties.
