Rezensionen

"Tom's book is timely, given the global upheavals that are contributing towards the fragmentation and disruption of the liberal orthodoxy that has, during its ignoble and illegitimate reign of the past two decades ... . Liberal Peace and Post-conflict Peacebuilding in Africa is a necessary wake-up call and palliative to the tendency - particularly among the self-righteous and proselytising peacebuilders from the global North - to replicate the dated prescriptions of a moribund and anachronistic liberal peace agenda." (Tim Murithi, South African Journal of International Affairs, Vol. 25 (1), March, 2018)
