| Abstract | The literature on peacebuilding dedicates very little space, empirically and theoretically, to countries that are emerging from a war waged to a decisive outcome. This review article looks at Sri Lanka and Rwanda, two countries where a victorious leadership has led the process of post conflict reconstruction, largely by employing illiberal means. It looks at the effect of decisive war on statebuilding and at the role of local agency and of illiberal practices in a postvictory context. It concludes assessing the global significance and long-term sustainability of post victory illiberal statebuilding. |
