About the Authors

Peacebuilding Paradigms focuses on how seven paradigms from the Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Policy Analysis subfields - Realism, Liberalism, Constructivism, Cosmopolitanism, Critical Theories, Locality, and Policy - analyze peacebuilding. The contributors explore the arguments of each paradigm, and then compare and contrast them. This book suggests that a hybrid approach that incorporates useful insights from each of these paradigms best explains how and why peacebuilding projects and policies succeed in some cases, fail in others, and provide lessons learned. Rather than merely using a theoretical approach, the authors use case studies to demonstrate why a focus on just one paradigm alone as an explanatory model is insufficient. This collection directly at how peacebuilding theory affects peacebuilding policies, and provides recommendations for best practices for future peacebuilding missions.
- Explains each of seven paradigms for understanding Peacebuilding to provide the reader with a greater knowledge of the assumptions of each paradigm and their related sub-paradigms
- Demonstrates how combining these seven peacebuilding paradigms best explains the successes and failures, as well as lessons learned, from peacebuilding missions and policies
- Uses case studies as real-world examples of the application of these paradigms to demonstrate peacebuilding successes and failures
