This book examines the development of the "grand design" and various subsequent attempts to develop a peaceful international order, and its implications for the current international peace architecture. Oliver P. Richmond argues that post-WWII liberal peace, which has aimed to balance liberty with regulation through law, democracy, human rights, and free trade, has recently given way to a retrogressive, technologically driven neoliberal peace, which is more oriented towards free trade, counter-terrorism and insurgency, surveillance, and state security. The Grand Design provides a sweeping look at the troubled history of peacebuilding in order to consider what the next-stage, "post-liberal peace," might look like.
