{"product_id":"post-liberal-peace-1","title":"Post-Liberal Peace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines how the liberal peace experiment of the post-Cold War environment has failed to connect with its target populations, which have instead set about transforming it according to their own local requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiberal peacebuilding has caused a range of unintended consequences. These emerge from the liberal peace’s internal contradictions, from its claim to offer a universal normative and epistemological basis for peace, and to offer a technology and process which can be applied to achieve it. When viewed from a range of contextual and local perspectives, these top-down and distant processes often appear to represent power rather than humanitarianism or emancipation. Yet, the liberal peace also offers a civil peace and emancipation. These tensions enable a range of hitherto little understood local and contextual peacebuilding agencies to emerge, which renegotiate both the local context and the liberal peace framework, leading to a local-liberal hybrid form of peace. This might be called a post-liberal peace. Such processes are examined in this book in a range of different cases of peacebuilding and statebuilding since the end of the Cold War. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students of peacebuilding, peacekeeping, peace and conflict studies, international organisations and IR\/Security Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234103480664,"sku":"9780415667821","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415667821.jpg?v=1769065240","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/post-liberal-peace-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
