The Transformation of Peace (Rethinking Peace and Conflict Studies)

Oliver P. Richmond

4.9/5 (15675 ratings)

Description:From the Cover: "What is peace and how should it be defined? In this timely and compelling study, Oliver Richmond traces the discourse of peace from philosophical and theoretical debates in international relations to the politics and practices of an 'epistemic' community of peace-building actors operating in conflict zones. In a radical critique of the dominant paradigm of peace, he examines its components and its short-comings in the context of a variety of post-Cold War peace operations and associated peace-building projects, which have involved the importation of expertise into conflict zones. This has led to the construction of different graduations of the liberal peace across conflict zones, in some instances representing an imposed and even 'virtual peace'. This raises important questions about whether the liberal peace project is universally viable, and internally coherent. If indeed it is, then how can its construction as the dominant response to contemporary conflicts be facilitated?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
