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.

This groundbreaking book challenges Western-centric approaches to peace and peacebuilding, offering diverse perspectives from across the globe. It reveals how peace is understood, negotiated, and sustained in varied contexts, moving beyond the limits of the liberal peace model, which links stability to economic and political liberalization. Highlighting local experiences, indigenous knowledge, and inclusive engagement with marginalized communities, the book underscores the importance of context-specific approaches to building lasting peace. In an era of shifting geopolitics, as the world moves from a unipolar to a multipolar order, new actors and emerging donors are reshaping priorities and practices. These developments bring both opportunities and challenges, signaling transformative shifts in global peacebuilding norms. Through thought-provoking insights and region-focused analyses, the book invites readers to rethink established paradigms and embrace evolving, locally grounded visions of peace. It offers a compelling guide for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the future of global stability.
