OverviewThis book offers a state-of-the-art examination of peacemaking, looking at its theoretical assumptions, empirical applications and its consequences. Despite the wealth of research on external interventions and practices of Western peacebuilding, many scholars tend to rely on findings in the so-called 'post-agreement' phase of interventions. As a result, most mainstream peacebuilding literature pays limited or no attention to the linkages that exist between mediation practices in the negotiation phase and processes in the post-peace agreement phase of intervention. By linking the motives and practices of interveners during negotiation and implementation phases into a more integrated theoretical framework, this book makes a unique contribution to the on-going debate on the so-called Western ‘liberal’ models of peacebuilding. Drawing upon in-depth case-studies from various different regions of the world including Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Sudan, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Sierra Leone, this innovative volume examines a variety of political motives behind third party interventions, thus challenging the very founding concept of mediation literature. This book will of much interest to students of peacebuilding, statebuilding, peacemaking, war and conflict studies, security studies and IR in general.

Rethinking Peacemaking: Peace at All Costs?, Mikael Eriksson and Roland KostićReviewsIn drawing out the ideological and other underpinnings of external involvement in peace processes, these essays contribute to an understanding of the dynamics that influence subsequent peacebuilding and the consequences for the sustainability of peace. -- Michael Pugh, University of Bradford, UK Kostic and Eriksson provide a wide range of empirical studies on a topic that has until now been largely discussed on normative/ polemical grounds, peacebuilding. The close link between these cases and their theoretical discussion makes the work exceptionally valuable. -- Robert M.
