Their growing role raises critical questions about how their approaches diverge from liberal models and their impact on the domestic politics of conflict-affected states.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on India and China's involvement in peace processes in Nepal and Myanmar, Adhikari demonstrates that these powers advance distinctive, state-centered programs that privilege regional stakeholders, stability, development, and pragmatism. Operating under conditions of \"negotiated coexistence\" with liberal peacebuilders, their initiatives neither fully align with nor openly contest existing actors, limiting cooperation while avoiding confrontation. This pluralized form of international engagement enables domestic elites to resist external pressures, producing hybrid peace orders that incorporate some liberal elements yet remain largely at the status quo--and often illiberal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich with archival and interview evidence, \u003ci\u003eA Post-Liberal Peace \u003c\/i\u003esheds light on alternative forms of peacebuilding and their on-the-ground effects in an increasingly multipolar world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monalisa Adhikari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501788094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501788093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Monalisa Adhikari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48852633846015,"sku":"9781501788093","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-post-liberal-peace-monalisa-adhikari-9781501788093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
