1.5 billion people live in countries affected by repeated cycles of violence and insecurity. These countries face tremendous challenges as they transition from conflict to peace. International support can play a crucial role in these contexts, but has so far struggled to deliver transformative results. This volume presents clear policy recommendations for better practice in order to improve the speed, flexibility, predictability and risk management of international support during post-conflict transition.

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 interventionsâ€"such as statebuilding, peacebuilding, transitional justice, refugee management, reconstruction, and redevelopmentâ€"and contend that the post-conflict environment is in fact created and sustained by this international technocratic paradigm of peacebuilding. Key international stakeholdersâ€"from activists to politicians, humanitarian agencies to financial institutionsâ€"characterize disparate sites as “weak,â€_x009d_ “fragile,â€_x009d_ or “failedâ€_x009d_ states and, as a result, prescribe peacebuilding techniques that paradoxically disable effective management of post-conflict spaces while perpetuating neoliberal political and economic conditions.

In the decade of the end of the war, the theme of the reconciliation of the Lebanese structures political discourse and serves to justify major planning actions, as well as individual or collective strategies. Even more than the end of the fighting, the promise of a new era of coexistence and prosperity legitimizes ambitious reconstruction projects. In return, the construction of equipment and infrastructure, the resumption of development dynamics, as well as the rehabilitation of the living environment are supposed to promote reconciliation. This CERMOC book is the result of research and reflections by a team of anthropologists, geographers, sociologists, political scientists and town planners, led by Eric Huybrechts, head of the Beirut and Reconstruction Research Observatory. , and Chawqi Douayhi, professor at the Lebanese University. The authors have identified and studied various representative places of reconstruction and reconciliation, chosen either for their originality or from particular angles: the reconstruction of the villages around Saïda, the new political and social balance between Tripoli and Zgorta in through the study of the space of the Lebanese University in Qobbé, the social mix on the Corniche and in the commercial centres of Beirut, the forgetting of the old line of fighting in the reconstruction of Beirut and its suburbs, etc. . Several readings can be made of these recompositions: a normalization of social relations, the resumption of metropolitan and globalizing dynamics, a complexification of society, or even the continuation of the political struggle by means other than war.

Governments intervening in post-conflict states find themselves beset with numerous challenges and profound dilemmas: It is often unclear how best to proceed because measures that may improve conditions in one respect may undermine them in another. This volume reviews and integrates the scholarly social-science literature relevant to stabilization and reconstruction, with the goal of informing strategic planning at the whole-of-government level.

"Development assistance to fragile states and conflict-affected areas can be a core component of peacebuilding, providing support for the restoration of government functions, delivery of basic services, the rule of law, and economic revitalization. What has worked, why it has worked, and what is scalable and transferable, are key questions for both development practice and research into how peace is built and the interactive role of domestic and international processes therein. Despite a wealth of research into these questions, significant gaps remain. This volume speaks to these gaps through new analysis of a selected set of well-regarded aid interventions. Drawing on diverse scholarly and policy expertise, eight case study chapters span multiple domains and regions to analyse Afghanistan's National Solidarity Programme, the Yemen Social Fund for Development, public financial management reform in Sierra Leone, Finn Church Aid's assistance in Somalia, Liberia's gender-sensitive police reform, the judicial facilitators programme in Nicaragua, UNICEF's education projects in Somalia, and World Bank health projects in Timor-Leste. Analysis illustrates the significance of three broad factors in understanding why some aid interventions work better than others: the area of intervention and related degree of engagement with state institutions; local contextual factors such as windows of opportunity and the degree of local support; and programme design and management. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal International Peacekeeping, and is available online as an Open Access monograph. "--Provided by publisher.
