ABSTRACT
This paper addresses social policy as part of the post-conflict state-building process. The primary assertion is that fulfilling social welfare responsibilities is a core role of the modern state, and is consequently an integral part of post-conflict state-building. This paper reviews the dependence on the idea and institutions of the state by a variety of actors in the post-conflict setting. Despite the possibilities of post-modern reconfigurations of local and global power and authority, the enterprise of post-conflict reconstruction remains focused on the modern state and its accompanying bureaucracies.
