Book Description:
|
Focusing on the police as providers of order and a measure of its success, this book shows that order depends more on what has gone before than on reconstruction efforts and that tension is inevitable in donors' attempts to reform brutal local policing. It offers a critique of the failure of liberal orthodoxy to understand the meaning of order.
