Titelbeschreibung

<div>This book offers a critical examination of ‘infrastructures for peace’, originally proposed as a framework of conflict transformation. Through an exploration of the statist ideological underpinnings of peace-building, it traces how the concept was transformed by institutional actors – international organisations and states – into a tool to further the state-building goals of liberal peace-building.</div>

Sonderbeitrag

The first critical appraisal of this scope of the concept of peace infrastructures since it entered mainstream peace-building through its adoption by UNDP Argues that the model of peace infrastructure which has come to dominate the discourse and practice is deeply statist, and sees peace infrastructures as a more efficient means to liberal peace-building Adds to the already significant post-liberal peace discourse a more pointed discussion on statism, and approaches its subject not from a post-structuralist but from neo-Weberian and sociocultural evolutionary angle
