It will be read with interest by international relations scholars, practitioners, organization theorists, and activists. It will certainly not be embraced by all of them, for the ‘politics’ to which this book draws attention might be too controversial. Nevertheless, it elevates the discourse and leads to new insights and a research agenda that is heuristically fruitful and extremely important for practical politics.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Friedrich Kratochwil,European University Institute\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Laura Zanotti is a distinguished critical scholar in conflict studies and international relations. Her work reveals the genealogy of techniques, discourses, and instrumentalities of power in the governance of war-torn societies. This book is essential for understanding the intrusive mechanisms, as employed by the United Nations and the so-called international community, that discipline and disempower societies that do not conform to ideals of ‘good governance.'”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Michael Pugh,University of Bradford\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Laura Zanotti provides a refreshing perspective on humanitarian intervention and complex peacekeeping. She skillfully uses Foucaultian concepts to make sense of her firsthand, incongruous experiences with peacekeeping missions in Haiti and Croatia. The result is a set of empirically rich and theoretically adept examinations of the political rationalities of ‘good governance’ and international biopolitics. The book superbly illustrates the complexities of a new international power politics that both normalizes and disciplines, but is also hijacked and thwarted.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Elisabeth Prügl,Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Throughout, interesting observations abound. Zanotti is particularly good at illuminating the reflexivity of the good governance agenda. . . .
