Based on multi-sited ethnographic research centering on Beirut, Master Peace examines the politics of expertise in the application of metropolitan theories of violence in post–civil war Lebanon. Through research, interviews, and UN agencies Kosmatopoulos argues that so-called experts have often misrepresented the violence they are tackling.
