The Trouble with the Congo: Local Violence and the Failure of International Peacebuilding:
"I have many, many feelings right now regarding this book.
I value it for what it is worth, a pioneering and insightful take on the need for bottom-up approaches to peacekeeping efforts worldwide. Though other authors have brought this necessity to th" Read more of this review » |

The Frontlines of Peace: An Insider's Guide to Changing the World:
"How unfortunately fitting that I'm writing this review today.
This year was the first time I really learned about the role of internationals in peacemaking and peacebuilding. It is stunning to me that random people stand in such critical crossroads. " Read more of this review » |

The Frontlines of Peace: An Insider's Guide to Changing the World:
"I recommend that everyone who cares about the state of the world read Frontlines of Peace. It is the rare work that manages both rigorous scholarship and vivid storytelling. Autesserre tells us how “Peaceland” fails with one-size-fits-all solutions ("

“It is clear that international peacebuilders are not the only, or even the main, figures responsible for the failure of the Congolese peace process.

“At first glance, one might assume that a peacekeeping soldier from Pakistan, a diplomat from the United States, and a human rights advocate from Senegal would approach their jobs quite differently.
