Richmond. aTokyo ;aNew York :bUnited Nations University Press,cc2009. axi, 392 p. ;c24 cm. aPeacebuilding in conflict-prone or post-conflict countries -- such as East Timor, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone -- aims to prevent the re-emergence or escalation of violent conflict and establish a durable peace. This volume explores and critiques the 'liberal' premise of contemporary peacebuilding: the promotion of democracy, market-based economic reforms and a range of other institutions associated with 'modern' states as a driving force for building peace. Whilst focusing mainly upon cases of major UN peacebuilding, it also considers the implications and record of liberal peacebuilding through a wider range of experiences. It goes beyond the narrow focus on democracy and market economics by interrogating a wider area of peacebuilding activities, including the (re)construction of state institutions.--Publisher's description.0 aAfrica; Sierra Leone; Afghanistan; Bosnia-Herzegovina; Timor-Leste; Sri Lanka; Palestine; Israel; United Nations; Lebanon; Cambodia; Central America. aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 0aPeace-building. 0aLiberalism. 4aLiberalismo. 4aConstrucción de la paz.1 aNewman, Edward,d1970-1 aParis, Roland,d1967-1 aRichmond, Oliver P.
