冲突后建设和平中建立法治的技术官僚项目是作为自由和平的保证而提出的。这个“法治寓言”将和平与西方法律的体系的技术机构联系起来，让人想起殖民和现代化的精神，以我们自己的形象设计非洲社会。因此，与塞拉利昂的情况一样，不符合法治干预概念的法律实践是病态的。具体而言，“文化”被定位为和平建设者要解决的问题。然而，对文化问题的反应并不是同质的，而是战略多样性：以自由主义主张的文化中立为基础的同化，旨在通过打击习俗和传统来产生文化的同一性。驯化当地传统的住宿代表了一种彻底去政治化的多元文化主义，而部署则调动传统以鼓励“支持”法治项目。
Abstract The technocratic project of building the rule of law in post-conflict peacebuilding is advanced as a guarantor of liberal peace. This ‘rule of law fable’ that correlates peace with technical institutions of western legal systems recalls the colonial and modernisation ethos to engineer African societies in our own image. As such, as in the case of Sierra Leone, practices of law that do not conform to the interventionary conceptualisation of the rule of law are rendered pathological. Specifically, ‘culture’ is positioned as a problem for peacebuilders to solve. There is not, however, a homogeneous response to the problem of culture, but strategic diversity: assimilation, underpinned by liberal claims to cultural neutrality, aims to produce cultural sameness by combating custom and tradition. Accommodation that domesticates local tradition represents a radically depoliticised multiculturalism, while deployment mobilises tradition to encourage ‘buy-in’ to the rule of law project.
