The book is dedicated to my brother, Manus Mac Ginty, who died much too young. He loved his family, the outdoors, and storytelling. I miss him very much. Many debts were incurred in writing this book. Alex Bellamy, John Brewer, Nemanja Džuverović, Pamina Firchow, Marsha Henry, Laura Mcleod, Eric Lepp, Ben Rampton, Oliver Richmond, Tom Rodwell, and Mandy Turner all read sections of the book or provided help with literature. Conversations with Tatsushi Arai, Séverine Autesserre, Christine Bell, Morten Bøås, Roddy Brett, Kris Brown, Christine Cheng, David Ellery, Larissa Fast, Landon Hancock, Chip Hauss, Stefanie Kappler, Walt Kilroy, Sung Yong Lee, Alp Özerdem, Michelle Parlevliet, Jan Pospisil, Gearoid Miller, Sarah Njeri, Stefano Ruzza, Elena Stavrevska, Anthony Wanis St. John, Gëzim Visoka, Birte Vogel, Andrew Williams, and Susan Woodward also helped clarify thinking and provided en- couragement. At Durham, a “Conflict +” seminar spent an invaluable few hours discussing chapter 6; thanks are due to Emil Archambault, Olga Demetriou, Elisabeth Kirtslogou, and Nayanika Mookherjee. My wonderful PhD students, and successive Masters classes, also provided a great sounding board. Alex De Waal provided access to African Union data on security incidents. Much of the stimulus for this book came from the Everyday Peace Indicators project, and I have been fortunate to work alongside the indefatigable and ever supportive Pamina Firchow for many years. I have been privileged to learn from Everyday Peace Indicators colleagues Peter Dixon, Naomi Levy, Lindsay McClain Opiyo, Jessica Smith, and Zach Tilton. The Carnegie Corporation of New York has provided patient and generous support to the Everyday Peace Indicators project, and I am particularly grateful to Aaron Stanley and Stephen Del Rosso. I also acknowledge support from the Economic and Social Research Council in the form of a grant to work on peacekeeping data. Ideas in the book were honed at papers given at the universities of Amsterdam, the Arctic, Belgrade, Bradford, Bristol, Durham, George Mason, Kent State, King’s College London, Leeds Beckett, Queen Mary, Manitoba, Newcastle, Notre Dame, St. Andrews, Turin, and York. I am grateful for the hospitality and the questions. I benefited enormously from encouragement and advice from the editors of the Oxford University Press series Studies in Strategic Peacemaking— Scott xii Acknowledgements Appleby, John Paul Lederach, and Daniel Philpott, all at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame. I am very grateful to David McBride and Holly Mitchell at Oxford University Press for their guid- ance. The anonymous reviewers managed to perfect the balance between en- couragement and gently pointing out the holes in the argument. I am also grateful to the community I live in and the distractions it provides. I appointed myself “writer in residence” in the cafe bus at the Chain Bridge Honey Farm. Not a word of this book could have been written without the sup- port of Mrs. Mac Ginty. Everyone needs a Mrs. Mac Ginty. Thanks are also due to Patrick, Edward, and Elisabeth Mac Ginty. This is the book I wanted to write, and I am grateful for having the opportunity to do so.
