This unique text challenges the notion that absence of conflict is
the foundation and norm of a stable political environment.
Combining complexity theory and the notion of signature with case
studies, it argues that political processes need to be understood
within their social and cultural contexts. It thus develops the
idea of enduring conflict, referring to both the enduring nature of
political conflict and the endurance of people in conflict-ridden
societies, looking at countries involved in conflict
transformation, such as Northern Ireland, Cambodia, Indonesia, and
South Africa. Examining debates around trauma, memory, and
reconciliation, the work shows how conflicts are so socially and
culturally ingrained and protracted that political agreements alone
cannot bring substantive change. In addition, key texts, such as
peace agreements, along with interviews of politicians,
participants, and NGOs help identify the conditions under which
notions like peace, democracy, and conflict resolution can even be
conceived - let alone implemented. This innovative text is a
significant contribution to the literature as it highlights the
limitations of conflict resolution strategies and identifies the
issues that pertain to conflicts throughout global politics.
Written in an accessible manner, it will be highly attractive to
students in conflict processes, peace studies, and international
relations theory.
