- This book is based on data collected for two projects over six years. This included 19 months of fieldwork in the Northern Bombali district of Sierra Leone, including participant and non-participant observations and over 180 interviews with local people and NGOs. The first project (2007-2009) examined local experiences of justice and reconciliation fostered by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; the second (2012-2013) studied local experiences of development and empowerment fostered by a multi-national bio-energy project. The monograph advances new approaches in Peace and Conflict Studies by highlighting the added value of ethnographic methods for understanding international intervention in post-conflict societies.
