Dilemmas of Statebuilding: Confronting the Contradictions of Postwar Peace Operations

Co-edited with Timothy D. Sisk (Routledge, 2009) "Roland Paris and Timothy Sisk have compiled the essential guide to understanding the inherent contradictions that lie at the heart of the statebuilding enterprise. Drawing on a range of contemporary cases the volume's contributors expertly dissect the dilemmas raised by the challenges of coordination, security, political economy, institutional design, and autonomy. Students, analysts or practitioners looking to reflect on the process of statebuilding will find no better place to start their enquiry." --Paul D. Williams, George Washington University Publisher's website
