Timothy Sisk is Professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver.
"A thorough examination of whystatebuilding is essential to
peacebuilding, and a richly documented case for why the
internationalcommunity should assist statebuilding in fragile
states."
International Affairs
"Readers looking for an interesting and accessible account of
contemporary practice and the debates which surround it will be
very satisfied."
LSE Review of Books
"A comprehensive account of the evolution of the international
response to civil war and the challenge of post-conflict
peacebuilding. An important challenge to much contemporary policy,
Statebuilding will quickly take a place among the 'must read'
accounts of contemporary statebuilding."
Bruce Jones, Brookings and the NYU Center on International
Cooperation; senior advisor to the WDR 2011 on Conflict, Security
and Development
"Sisk's book is the best guide to 'statebuilding' I know. It
provides conceptual clarity and a framework for international
action. It is written with clear-headed commitment and a
seriousness of purpose that leaves the reader in no doubt that we
are dealing with one of the key challenges of the modern era."
Khalid Koser, Geneva Centre for Security Policy
"A lucid and highly accessible defense of how the building of
states after civil war by international intervention is essential
to peace. It is a very fine culmination of a research agenda on
liberal internationalism begun a decade ago. Teachers will find
Statebuilding extremely comprehensive on the current
orthodoxy."
Susan Woodward, City University of New York
