►Non-State Actors and International Law, edited by Andrea Bianchi, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Ashgate Publishing, The Library of Essays in International Law, June 2009, 634 pages
Non-state actors play an important role in international law-making, law-adjudication and law-enforcement processes. However, little attention has been paid to the theoretical discourse about non-state actors and its relation to the doctrine of the subjects of international law. The articles collected together in this volume consider a range of issues on this subject, such as whether the solution lies in ‘relativizing’ the subjects or rather in ‘subjectivizing’ them, and contribute to the discussion to determine who may legitimately and authoritatively perform legally relevant acts on the international scene. ►Post-Conflict and Peacebuilding A Lexicon, edited by Vincent Chetail, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2009, 388 p.
The Lexicon on Post-Conflict Peacebuilding comes at a critical time for post-conflict peacebuilding. Its rapid move towards the top of the international political agenda has been accompanied by added scrutiny, as the international community seeks to meet the multi-dimensional challenges of building a just and sustainable peace in societies ravaged by war. Beyond the strictly operational dimension, there is considerable ambiguity in the concepts and terminology used to discuss post-conflict peacebuilding. This ambiguity undermines efforts to agree on common understandings of how peace can be most effectively ‘built’, thereby impeding swift, coherent action. Accordingly, this Lexicon aims to clarify and illuminate the multiple facets of post-conflict peacebuilding, by presenting its major themes and trends from an analytical perspective. To this end, the Lexicon opens with a general introduction on the concept of post-conflict peacebuilding, followed by twenty-six essays on its key components (including capacity-building, conflict transformation, reconciliation, recovery, rule of law, security sector reform, and transitional justice). The essays were entrusted to international experts from a range of disciplines, including political science and international relations, international law, economics, and sociology. Contributing authors from the Institute include Riccardo Bocco, Gilles Carbonnier, Andrew Clapham, Marwa Daoudy, Louise Doswald Beck, Victor-Yves Ghebali, Vera Gowlland-Debbas, Pierre Hazan, Keith Krause, Thania Paffenholz, Daniel Warner, Achim Wennmann and Vincent Chetail as the Editor of the Lexicon. In reflecting a diversity of perspectives the Lexicon sheds light on many different challenges associated wit post-conflict peacebuilding. For each key component a generic definition is proposed, which is then expanded through discussion of three main areas: the meaning and origin of the concept; its content and essential components; and its means of implementation, including lessons learned from past practice. This Lexicon is the result of an international research project undertaken over three years (2006–2008) under the supervision of Dr Vincent Chetail. This project was financed by the Geneva International Academic Network and coordinated by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and the European Institute of the University of Geneva, in close cooperation with the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, the School of Translation and Interpretation of the University of Geneva, the Library of the United Nations Office in Geneva, and the Archive Service of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
