Gearoid Millar

An Ethnographic Approach to Peacebuilding

Understanding Local Experiences in Transitional States

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book aims to outline and promote an ethnographic approach to evaluating international peacebuilding interventions in transitional states. While the evaluation of peacebuilding and transitional justice efforts has been a growing concern in recent years, too often evaluations assess projects based on locally irrelevant measures. This book argues that evaluating the effects of peacebuilding interventions demands an understanding of the local and culturally variable context of intervention. This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, peace and conflict studies, African politics, ethnography, International Relations and security studies.
