Peace, Power and Resistance in Cambodia: Global Governance and the Failure of International Conflict Resolution (International Political Economy Series)

Does the ongoing dynamics of economic globalization also entail, and indeed require, the globalization of a particular model of peace? This book, as it considers this question, brings to light the degree to which mechanisms of global governance emerging in counterpoint to economic globalization rest on the imposition of specific models of conflict resolution in long-standing conflicts in peripheral regions. The peacebuilding project at the heart of these efforts often lacks clear connection with the political and institutional configurations at the basis of these conflicts, and for this reason it frequently ends in failure.
