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.
