Popis:	Autesserre's work provides an excellent introduction to the culture of peacebuilding and makes a convincing case that is relevant for understanding the failure of the intervention in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But she misses an opportunity to fully dissect the broad nature of this expatriate-produced cultural space by ignoring its social aspects and focusing instead on the history of the Congo wars. In addition, a focus on micro-level factors cannot fully explain the profound suspicion that continues to shape the relationship between Congolese civilians and international interveners. For that, an understanding of the broader geopolitical context of United Nations’ interventions remains necessary.
