About this book series
This agenda-setting series of research monographs, now more than two decades old, provides an interdisciplinary forum aimed at advancing innovative new agendas for peace and conflict studies in International Relations and other disciplines. Many of the critical volumes the series has hosted so far have contributed to new avenues of analysis directly or indirectly related to the search for positive, emancipatory, and hybrid forms of peace in the structural and ethical context of global justice and sustainability. Constructive critiques of liberal peace, hybrid peace, everyday contributions to peace, the role of civil society and social movements, international actors and networks, as well as a range of different dimensions, nexuses, and scholarly generations of peace (from peacebuilding and statebuilding, to youth contributions, photography, the arts, gender debates, spatial innovations, embodiment, and emotional aspects, and many case studies) have been explored so far. The series raises important critical and political questions about what peace is, whose peace is, and peace for whom, as well as where peace takes place. In doing so, it offers new and interdisciplinary perspectives on the development of international peace architecture, peace processes, peacebuilding, peacekeeping and mediation, statebuilding, and localised peace formation in practice and theory. It examines their implications for the development of local peace agency and the connection with theoretical advances about emancipatory forms of peace and global justice, which remain crucial in different conflict-affected regions around the world. This is related to the ongoing transition from a so-called liberal international order to a more multipolar and authoritarian version associated with older notions of conflict management and the post-colonial, economic, and environmental challenges against the Eurocentrism and inequalities associated with liberal peace. This series’ contributions offer both theoretical and empirical insights into many of the world's most intractable conflicts, also investigating increasingly significant evidence about blockages to peace, counter-peace, the breakdown of the liberal order, and the rise of alternative approaches (for better or worse). Its monographs and edited collections contribute – we hope- to the potential for new innovative and transformative approaches to emerge that may radically improve the international peace architecture or its possible alternatives.
