在战争或危机之后建立或重建国家是一个有争议的过程。但是为什么呢？这本书认为，为了最好地回答这个问题，我们需要与那些被认为受益于国际‘专业知识’的人打交道。
这本书通过探索干预目标人民的历史经验和解释框架，挑战并加强了国家建设的标准“批判性”叙事。这本书借鉴了几年来进行的面对面采访、档案研究、政策审查和国内参与者观察，挑战了支撑这一假设的假设
外部干预，例如“地方”代理人没有能力治理，以及“自由”价值观在要求更好的治理方面的必要性。分析的重点是莫桑比克，长期以来，莫桑比克一直被誉为国际捐助者的伟大成功故事之一，但其和平、繁荣和民主的未来现在悬而未决。报告的结论强调了思考国家建设援助的目标而不是考虑目标的重要性，并认识到支撑这些改革努力的历史和物质条件。
Building, or re-building, states after war or crisis is a contentious process. But why? This book argues that to best answer the question, we need to engage with the people who are supposedly benefiting from international ‘expertise’.
This book challenges and enhances standard ‘critical’ narratives of statebuilding by exploring the historical experiences and interpretive frameworks of the people targeted by intervention. Drawing on face-to-face interviews, archival research, policy reviews and in-country participant-observations carried out over several years, the book challenges assumptions underpinning
external interventions, such as the incapacity of ‘local’ agents to govern and the necessity of ‘liberal’ values in demanding better governance. The analysis focuses on Mozambique, long hailed as one of international donors’ great success stories, but whose peaceful, prosperous, democratic future now hangs in the balance. Its conclusions underscore the significance of thinking with rather than for the targets of state-building assistance, and appreciating the historical and material conditions which underpin these reform efforts.
