Knowledge and Expertise in International Interventions: The Politics of Facts, Truth and Authenticity
Editat de Berit Bliesemann de Guevara, Roland Kosticen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2019
A first set of chapters focuses on the social construction of facts, truth and authenticity through studies of militia research in the DR Congo, politicians’ on-site visits in intervention theatres in the Balkans and Afghanistan, and the epistemic practices of Human Rights Watch and comics journalism. A second set of contributions analyses the strategic side of knowledge through case studies of diplomatic counterinsurgency in Bosnia and Herzegovina, African governments’ active role in the ‘bunkerization’ of international aid workers, and authoritarian peacebuilding as a challenge to the liberal power/knowledge regime in world politics.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding.
