Description

Book Synopsis
Examines the world of humanitarian aid workers and the processes of democratization that they put into effect in Bosnia-Herzegovina. This work is an ethnography of the practices of international intervention and democracy building.

Trade Review
Democratic Designs is a careful, detailed and thoughtful ethnography of electoral practices in one case of internationally imposed 'democracy.' Coles had access to the day-to-day practices of producing democratic elections, and recounts these in an accessible way. The account makes a number of important contributions to the growing anthropological literature on the sociality of bureaucracy - and internationalist bureaucracy in particular. - Annelise Riles, Professor of Law and Anthropology at Cornell University and author and editor of several books, including The Network Inside Out
