Summary:

Avoiding any claims of definitiveness, Maley (diplomacy, Australian National U.), Sampford (law, Griffith U., Australia), and Thakur (peace and governance, United Nations U., Japan) offer 18 papers that explore key issues raised by sociopolitical transformations from "disrupted" states to building civil society by international intervention. Major topics include challenges to military operations in disrupted states; ending violence through conflict resolution; and reconstitution of the political, legal, and social order.
