After more than two decades of peacebuilding intervention, widespread popular disappointment by local communities is increasingly visible. Since the early 2010s, difficult conditions have spurred a wave of protest throughout the region. Citizens have variously denounced the political system, political elites, corruption and mismanagement. Rather than re-evaluating their strategy in light of mounting local discontent, international peacebuilding officials have increasingly adopted cynical calculations about stability. This book explains this evolution from the optimism of the mid-1990s to the current state through the analysis of three main phases, moving from the initial 'rise', to a later condition of 'stalemate' and then 'fall' of peacebuilding. Roberto Belloni is Professor of International Relations at the University of Trento, Italy. He has written extensively on peacebuilding and democratization, with particular reference to the Balkans. He is the holder of the Jean Monnet Chair 'The European Union and the Western Balkans: Enlargement and Resilience' (2018-2021). 410 0$aRethinking Peace and Conflict Studies,$x2752-857X 606 $aPeace 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aInternational organization 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aInternational Organization 606 $aPolitical Science 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aInternational organization. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aRegionalism. 615 24$aInternational Organization. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 676 $a327.09496 676 $a327.17209496 700 $aBelloni$b Roberto$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0913769 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369911003321 996 $aThe Rise and Fall of Peacebuilding in the Balkans$92047259 997 $aUNINA
