Key international stakeholders—from activists to politicians, humanitarian agencies to financial institutions—characterize disparate sites as “weak,” “fragile,” or “failed” states and, as a result, prescribe peacebuilding techniques that paradoxically disable effective management of post-conflict spaces while perpetuating neoliberal political and economic conditions. Treating all efforts to represent post-conflict environments as problematic, the goal becomes understanding the underlying connection between post-conflict conditions and the actions and interventions of peacebuilding technocracies UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30555/1/645353.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30555/1/645353.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30555/1/645353.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30555/1/645353.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36134 ER -
