Book Summary
David Chandler argues that state-building, as it is currently conceived, does
not work. In the 1990s, interventionist policies challenged the rights of
individual states to self-governance. Today, non-Western states are more likely
to be feted by international institutions offering programmes of
poverty-reduction, democratisation and good governance. States without the right
of self-government will always lack legitimate authority. The international
policy agenda focuses on bureaucratic mechanisms, which can only
instutiutionalise divisions between the West and the non-West and are unable to
overcome the social and political divisions of post-conflict states.
Highlighting the dangers of current policy -- including the redefinition of
sovereignty, and the subsquent erosion of ties linking power
