Beschreibung
This book analyses and furthers the academic debates on post-liberal peacebuilding, through a number of conceptual, theoretical and empirical research outputs. Part I includes a review of how the recent discourse on peacebuilding has evolved, and three conceptual/theoretical perspectives relevant to post-liberal peacebuilding. In particular, the editors propose the concept of bespoke peacebuilding to articulate key features of new peacebuilding models. Part II introduces five case studies that present how alternative peacebuilding models are being shaped (or can be shaped) in practice. Essential reading for scholars and students in Peace and Conflict Studies, International Relations, and International Security Studies.

“This publication provides scholars from the field, students interested in critical approaches, and curious readers, an interesting approach to identify and shed light on yet understudied elements and actors that contribute to the building of social capital and social cohesion. … it also offers a first step to develop a comprehensive framework and a good foundation to investigate local peacebuilding practices. ... This is an opportunity for future research.” (Lucas Steinbach, International Peacekeeping, February 4, 2025)
