This book offers a critical examination of infrastructures for peace, originally proposed as a framework of conflict transformation. Through an exploration of the statist ideological underpinnings of peace-building, it traces how the concept was transformed by institutional actors international organisations and states into a tool to further the state-building goals of liberal peace-building.
