Peacebuilding and post-war transitions: assessing the impact of external-domestic interactions

This book asks how, and under what conditions, external-domestic interactions impact on peacebuilding outcomes during transitions to peace and democracy.

Why do so many peacebuilding interventions in post-war states result in stalled transitions despite heavy international support?

This book suggests a new explanation for this puzzle and proposes an 'analytical framework of peacebuilding interactions'.

Based on eight cases of peacebuilding interactions, it demonstrates that the limited rationality of the actors involved in external-domestic interactions influenced the post-war transition results in Kosovo.
