This online lecture summarises the development of liberal peacebuilding and its transformation into a 'post-liberal' peace through an engagement with the local. It then examines the relationship between liberal peacebuilding and the local turn through and poses the question whether the 'local turn' is a continuation of or challenge to liberal peacebuilding. It is based on the following:
