In this handbook, a diverse range of leading scholars consider
the social, cultural, economic, political, and developmental
underpinnings of peace. This handbook is a much-needed response
to the failures of contemporary peacebuilding missions and narrow
disciplinary debates, both of which have outlined the need for
more interdisciplinary work in International Relations and Peace
and Conflict studies. Scholars, students, and policymakers are
often disillusioned with universalist and northern-dominated
approaches, and a better understanding of the variations of peace
and its building blocks, across different regions, is required.
Collectively, these chapters promote a more differentiated notion
of peace, employing comparative analysis to explain how peace is
debated and contested.
