Introduction: Understanding the contradictions of postwar statebuilding
2009
Since the end of the Cold War, an enormous international experiment has
been underway. A shifting constellation of international and regional organizations, national governments, and non-governmental organizations has
conducted a series of complex “peacebuilding” operations aimed at stabilizing countries just emerging from periods of internal war. From Namibia in
1989 to Darfur in 2007, more than 20 major multilateral peacebuilding
missions were deployed to post-conflict societies with the goal of preventing
the resumption of violence (see Table 1.1). Nor is the demand for these
operations likely to abate in the near future, given the increased tendency of
armed conflicts to end in negotiated settlements rather than military victory.1
