Description
Post-Conflict Reconstruction and International Law delves into the often-overlooked role of international law in the practice of post-conflict reconstruction. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of how international legal issues intersect with critical policy debates on topics such as government creation, constitution-making, gender policy, justice for past atrocities, and economic recovery following conflict.

Matthew Saul critically examines the effectiveness of international law in guiding best-practice recommendations for post-conflict reconstruction, including the involvement of local populations, accountability, security provisions, and the return of displaced persons. By exploring a range of sectors including the provision of security, rule of law development, and the responsibilities of international actors, the book highlights the practical impact of international law in the post-conflict setting.

Key Features:
• In-depth Analysis: Offers a thorough exploration of international law’s role in shaping post-conflict reconstruction efforts across various sectors.
• Policy Relevance: The book reveals how international law can be harnessed more effectively to support transitions to peace and stability, providing a foundation for future policy-making in post-conflict regions.

• Comprehensive Scope: Covers key issues such as government creation, economic recovery, justice for past atrocities, gender policy, and more, in the context of post-conflict reconstruction.

This book is essential for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in international law, political science, and post-conflict studies, offering critical insights into how international law can better inform the practice of post-conflict reconstruction.
