'International intervention aimed at promoting peace and building state capacity has been hotly contested in recent decades - both in practice and in theory. This volume explores some fascinating and original research questions, drawing upon rich empirical insights, in order to make some sense of the crisis of confidence of intervention intervention. Above all, it genuinely goes beyond the 'liberal peacebuilding debate'.' Edward Newman, University of Leeds
