Peacebuilding in Crisis: Rethinking Paradigms and Practices of Transnational Cooperation
Peacebuilding in Crisis: Rethinking Paradigms and Practices of Transnational Cooperation, edited by Tobias Debiel, Thomas Held, and Ulrich Schneckener, examines the challenges and changing approaches to international peacebuilding in post-conflict societies. The book critically explores the dominant liberal peacebuilding paradigm and considers alternative post-liberal and relational perspectives for understanding and addressing conflict and peacebuilding processes. It examines a range of peacebuilding practices, including democracy promotion, power-sharing, transitional justice, human rights, gender-sensitive approaches, security sector reform, and the role of local actors in post-conflict transformation. By bringing together theoretical debates and empirical perspectives, the volume questions the effectiveness and legitimacy of externally driven peacebuilding interventions and emphasizes the importance of context-sensitive approaches and transnational cooperation. Overall, the book contributes to peace and conflict studies and international relations by providing new perspectives for rethinking peacebuilding theory and practice in complex post-conflict environments.
