Title: | It's not the What But the How: a critical approach to peace and violence | Authors: | Freire, Maria Raquel Lopes, Paula Duarte |
Keywords: | Promoting peace; Keeping peace; Continuum of peaces and violences; Cultures of peace | Issue Date: | Apr-2010 | Publisher: | Centro de Estudos Sociais | Serial title, monograph or event: | Oficina do CES | Volume: | 343 | Place of publication or event: | Coimbra | Abstract: | Peace studies are currently at a crossroad, being criticized for their overwhelming research agenda, for their uncritical stance towards terminology and for their disconnection between research and action. This paper proposes a consolidation of the theoretical and conceptual peace studies core, by recovering the value of peace and framing research and action in cultures of peace. This sets out from a critique of the conventional conflict narrative terminology, which has evolved after Boutros-Ghali An Agenda for Peace to reflect a peace narrative terminology. This change has been more formal than operational. Even if a new political peace agenda was adopted, practical results have not reflected this transformation. We argue that peace and violence are not excludable, by adopting the concept of a continuum of peaces and violences and proposing a peace web to overcome the shortcomings revealed essentially at the level of policy implementation. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/32658 | ISSN: | 2182-7966 | Rights: | openAccess |
