Preface
Putting together this handbook took several years and we have to thank many people
who helped us along the way. The handbook covers more than a decade of interdiscip-
linary research on governance in areas of limited statehood. It tries to represent the state
of the art and to move the research agenda away from ill-c onceived notions of ‘fragile’ or
‘failed’ states, and from the Western bias of developed and consolidated statehood that
still informs a lot of research on the global South. At the same time, this handbook can
only be an interim step in a broader research agenda; we, as well as our authors, iden-
tify important research gaps to be tackled in the future (see Chapter 1 Börzel et al., this
volume).
Much of the research reported in this handbook began in the framework of the
Collaborative Research Centre (Sonderforschungsbereich/ SFB) 700 ‘Governance in
Areas of Limited Statehood’, which has been generously funded by the German Research
Foundation (DFG—D eutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) between 2006 and 2 017. Many of
this handbook’s authors have been working at the research centre, started their work
in Berlin and then moved on, or have been affiliated with our centre for several years.
Other authors we just invited to contribute to this handbook, given their expertise in
areas important to us.
Inspirations for this handbook came from two other Oxford handbooks. The first is
the Oxford Handbook of the Transformations of the State (Leibfried et al. 2015), which
originated from the Bremen- based Collaborative Research Centre ‘Transformations
of the State’ and which Stephan Leibfried co-e dited. Our own endeavour owes a lot
to Stephan. The second inspiration came from the Oxford Handbook of Comparative
Regionalism (Börzel and Risse 2016), which we—t hat is, Börzel and Risse— co- edited.
Without the encouragement of Dominic Byatt, our editor at Oxford University Press, we
might not have taken on yet another publication of this magnitude.
This new handbook came together during two conferences also funded by the DFG,
which took place in Berlin on 22–2 3 April 2016, and 17–1 8 February 2017. The two meet-
ings proved to be a tremendous learning exercise, helping us as editors and our authors
to produce what we hope is a coherent volume. We are extremely grateful to all authors
and the participants to the workshops for their insights, their spirited criticisms, as
well as their openness when engaging with our conceptual framework. Moreover,
these conferences would not have been possible without the top organizational skills
of the SFB’s one and only ‘Team Z’, particularly Max Westbrock, Jan Harrs, and Markus
Sattler. ‘Team Z’ has been led by the SFB’s management team, namely Eric Stollenwerk,
our terrific managing director (see also Chapter 6 Stollenwerk, this volume), and Anne
vi Preface
Hehn, our equally excellent chief administrator. Eric also provided a new data set on
governance and limited statehood, which some of our authors used in their chapters
(Stollenwerk and Opper 2017).

In addition, our heartfelt ‘thank you’ goes to the student assistants Sarah Barasa, Tanja
Friesen, Sophie Frossard, Darya Kulinka, Lukas Müller-W ünsch, Helena Rietmann,
Markus Sattler, and Onno Steenweg, for checking references, formatting chapters,
proof-reading, and the like. Last but not least, this handbook would not have been
possible without the continuous support of the superb professional team at Oxford
University Press. As mentioned above, we are especially grateful to Dominic Byatt for
his encouragement and continuous support. Special thanks also go to Olivia Wells who
guided us and the handbook throughout the editing process. Finally, we are grateful to
Anya Hastwell for excellent copy- editing, Eilidh McGregor for accurate proof-reading,
Cathryn Pritchard for doing the index, as well as Kiruthika at Newgen for the entire pro-
duction and publication management.
