Review Quotes:
"This book deserves reading not only for its important contribution to the study of the politics of post-conflict peace building in Tajikistan, but also as a significant contribution to conflict and peace studies in general and for its successful and original application of the epistemology and methodology of these critical approaches to this case in particular." - Mohira Suyarkulova, University of St Andrews, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 62, 2010
"An insightful work that honestly critiques the politics of peace-building...it is a sophisticated and rewarding work that leads readers to question the agendas, and impact, of the international community on the multifaceted emergence of peace." - David W. Montgomery, Nationalities Papers, Vol. 38, No. 6, November 2010
