Reviews

'Nicolas Lemay-Hebert is to be congratulated for producing this critical Handbook on Intervention and Statebuilding. It challenges conventional and failed perspectives on state building, nation building and society building. There are more women theorists in this book than men. Their distinctive feminist perspectives challenge outmoded 19th and 20th century masculinist views on the state, state building and nation building. The result is a refreshing, inclusive reframing of state-society relations and a prudential approach to intervention.' -- Kevin P. Clements, University of Otago, New Zealand 'This excellent Handbook offers a broad ranging and comprehensive critique of the connection between failed statebuilding , practices of intervention, and their consequences for the sustainability and legitimacy of international order.' -- Oliver Richmond, University of Manchester, UK

'Starting from the premise that international statebuilding efforts over the past three decades have relied on flawed theoretical assumptions and failed to achieve many of their objectives, this Handbook is a cornucopia of critical analyses and perspectives. With an emphasis on peace and conflict, it encompasses a wide array of international interventions where statebuilding is a component, like peacebuilding, military intervention, counterinsurgency, security sector reform, civilian protection, transitional justice, development and humanitarian action.' -- Kristoffer Liden, Journal of Peace Research 'Nicolas Lemay-Hebert is to be congratulated for producing this critical Handbook on Intervention and Statebuilding.
