The book makes theoretical and empirical contributions to recent debates on hybrid forms of peace and ‘post-liberal’ peace. In applying concepts of power, hybridity and resistance, and providing different kinds of hybridity and resistance to explore post-conflict peacebuilding in Sierra Leone, the author makes an original contribution to existing literature by providing various ways in which power can be exercised not just between locals and internationals, but also among locals themselves and the nature of peace that is produced. This volume provides various ways in which hybridity and resistance can be manifested. A more rigorous development of these concepts not only offers a better understanding of the nature of these concepts, but also helps us to distinguish forms of hybridity and resistance that are emancipatory or transformatory from those that result in people accommodating themselves to their situation. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of peacebuilding, peace and conflict studies, International Relations and African Studies, and practitioners of peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction.

The literature on liberal peacebuilding has shown that what the international community thinks of peace is a very specific thing drawn from the Western context, which is linked to the development of the idea of the liberal peace: the idea that economic and political liberalisation create conditions for lasting peace in war-torn societies. Yet, the concept of peace is not a universal one.Academic dialogue on peace-making and peacebuilding from different regions of the world is continuing to bring to fore localised views and experiences to the peacebuilding dialogue. Some of these reflect on inclusive engagement of the marginalised groups in peacemaking, indigenous perspectives on peace and peacemaking and local experiences of various regions. Explicitly or implicitly normative perspectives are always present in the different peacemaking perspectives.Furthermore, amid the transition from unipolar to multipolar world of politics, there are some budding yet interesting shifts that are likely to bring transformations to the understanding and the norms of peace and peacebuilding across the globe. Among many shifts, these include changes in terms of the key global actors, and a shift away from traditional donors as new donors have emerged. All of these changes bring with them new interests, opportunities, and challenges in the understanding of peace, peacemaking and peacebuilding.
