Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewScholars investigating the nexus of neoliberal governance and geopolitics, those interested in the practical limitations of international law, and those exploring everyday, lived experience of international policy will all find sections of this thoughtful, well researched volume useful.
* African Conflict and Peacebuilding Review *
A strong, multi-regional analysis of global liberal governance, its practice, and outcomes. By adopting a critical discursive approach to these questions, these essays challenge conventional narratives about recent operations, both the most turbulent and the most successful.
-- Kenneth Omeje, editor of Conflict and Peacebuilding in the African Great Lakes Region
