Statebuilding has become a central focus of multi-dimensional peace operations in war-torn societies.

Eneko SANZ, Estadocentrismo, sociocentrismo y estatismo en la construcción de paz posbélica, POSTs n.º1. Bellaterra: ECP, 07/2010.


POST.dis.01 Estadocentrismo, sociocentrismo y estatismoThis paper questions the depiction of the liberal peace consensus as one constituted by a liberal-conservative, state-centric discourse and an emancipatory, socio-centric one. It contends that making a distinction between state-centrism and statism reveals a shared statist predisposition of conservative, liberal and emancipatory peacebuiding, while it sheds light on some aspects of the shift from peacebuilding to statebuilding. It also attributes emancipatory peacebuilding's “statist sociocentrism” to a Marxist-instrumentalist heritage, and caracterizes new critiques of liberal peace as proponents of either a post-liberal sociocentrism or a critical statecentrism.
