Contents:
The post-conflict environment : a genealogy / Daniel Bertrand Monk and Jacob Mundy -- Statebuilding in a vacuum : Sierra Leone and the missing international political economy of civil wars / Catherine Goetze -- The performance and politics of trauma in northern Iraq / Sarah Keeler -- Algeria and the violence of national reconciliation / Jacob Mundy -- The work of exile : protracted refugee situations and the new Palestinian normal / Romola Sanyal -- Constructing reconstruction : building Kosovo's post-conflict environment / Andrew Herscher -- International finance and the reconstruction of Beirut : war by other means? / Najib Hourani -- Aftermath : a speculative conclusion / Daniel Bertrand Monk and David Campbell.
Summary: In case studies focusing on contemporary crises spanning Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, the scholars in this volume examine the dominant prescriptive practices of late neoliberal post-conflict interventions--such as statebuilding, peacebuilding, transitional justice, refugee management, reconstruction, and redevelopment--and contend that the post-conflict environment is in fact created and sustained by this international technocratic paradigm of peacebuilding. Key international stakeholders--from activists to politicians, humanitarian agencies to financial institutions--characterize disparate sites as "weak," "fragile," or "failed" states and, as a result, prescribe peacebuilding techniques that paradoxically disable effective management of post-conflict spaces while perpetuating neoliberal political and economic conditions
