Descrizione LOCAL LEGITIMACY AND INTERNATIONAL
Furthering the understanding of the legitimate authority in internationally-led peace-and state-building interventions This edited volume focuses on disentangling the interplay of local peacebuilding processes and international policy, via comparative theoretical and empirical work on the question of legitimacy and authority. Using a number of conflict-affected regions as case studies - including Kosovo, Iraq, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Sudan - the book incorporates the expertise of a range of international scholars in order to understand the dynamics of local peacebuilding, the construction of legitimate authority, and its interplay with internationally led peace- and state-building interventions. The commissioned chapters advance our understanding of local legitimacy, sustainable international engagement, and the hybrid forms of authority they produce. Oliver Richmond is a Research Professor in IR, Peace and Conflict Studies in the Department of Politics at the University of Manchester. He is also International Professor, College of International Studies, Kyung Hee University, Korea and a Visiting Professor at Dublin City University. Roger Mac Ginty is Professor at the School of Government and International Affairs, Durham University, as well as Director of the Durham Security Institute.
