Actualmente, las ciencias sociales y las humanidades están plagadas de diversos conceptos, locuciones, léxicos, modismos y eslóganes que pretenden reformular la manera en que los académicos reflexionan sobre lo "global" y su relación con lo "local" —ámbito que ha sido igualmente reconceptualizado—. La utilidad de estos conceptos y marcos no reside en su capacidad de representarlo todo para el conjunto de los académicos, sino en que permiten destacar las nuevas estructuras emergentes en la política global, realzar la manera en que dichas estructuras son creadas y en qué sentido son responsables de las nuevas redes de actores, así como subrayar el desarrollo de nuevos discursos y prácticas que rompen y engranan lo local y lo global. Este texto analiza la tendencia en la teoría de las Relaciones Internacionales a conjugar estado, autoridad y territorio. En la medida en que esta unión dificulta la comprensión de la complejidad de las relaciones y de los procesos globales, es necesario prestar atención a las contribuciones recientes que disocian dichos conceptos y que generan nuevas formas de comprender la organización y la práctica de la política global, y analizar especialmente el concepto de autoridad ; The social sciences and the humanities are presently littered with various concepts, phrases, vocabularies, idioms, and slogans that are intended to resituate how scholars think about the "global" and its relationship to a reconceptualized "local". The utility of these concepts and frameworks is to be found not in their ability to be all things to all scholars, but rather in their capacity to highlight newly emergent structures in global politics, how those structures are created by and are responsible for new networks of actors, and the development of new discourses and practices that collapse and telescope the local and the global. This text explores the tendency of International Relations to collapse state, authority and territory. As far as that bundling makes it more difficult to understand complex global relationships and processes, it is necessary to pay attention to the recent contributions that unbundle these concepts generating new insights into the organization and practice of global politics, and specially to analyze the authority concept.

This paper develops two claims that follow from two general conclusions from recent re-search on peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction. The first is that international peacebuilders are fairly good at ending violence and at producing stability, but are less talented at creating liberal states. In order to understand why, Section I develops the concept of the "peacebuilders' contract", which is intended to map the kinds of strategic interactions that are likely to unfold between peacebuilders and local élites and capture why these interactions are likely to favour the status quo preferred by local forces. Following on the general recognition that international peacebuilders are limited in what they can produce, the second conclusion concerns the need for peacebuilders to be more strategic in their thinking and to be satisfied with producing small victories that can sup-port the emergence of decent governments which provide the foundations for future movements towards a positive peace. These observations and their implications are applicable not only to post-war interventions, but also to the broader international agenda of fixing states.
