'Much of the credit for the seismic shift in reconceptualising peace and peacebuilding must go to Oliver Richmond. His latest book answers, head-on, the anti-political fatalism that there is no alternative to a liberal peace.' - Michael Pugh, University of Bradford, UK 'Oliver Richmond's work is in the best tradition of critical scholarship: challenging comfortable assumptions, revealing internal contradictions, but also speaking to concrete policy.'- Simon Chesterman, NYU School of Law Singapore Programme, USA 'The liberal nature of post-conflict reconstruction has become a much discussed topic. Oliver Richmond is among the most authoritative contributors to the respective debates, pointing towards the dangers of a top-down, state-centric and market-driven approach. A Post-Liberal Peace offers his most comprehensive and impressive take so far. He convincingly illumines, in particular, how local practices of resistance can contribute to what he calls a post-liberal peace: a hybrid arrangement that allows local actors to make reconstruction more sustainable than it could ever be through a mere external imposition of liberal institutions and procedures.' - Roland Bleiker, University of Queensland, Australia '.
