Long considered a subfield of international relations and political
science, Peace Studies has solidified its place as an
interdisciplinary field in its own right with a canon, degree
programs, journals, conferences, and courses taught on the subject.
Internationally renowned centers offering programs on Peace and
Conflict Studies can be found on every continent. Almost all of the
scholars working in the field, however, are united by an
aspiration: attaining Peace, whether "positive" or "negative." The
telos of peace, however, itself remains undefined and elusive,
notwithstanding the violence committed in its name. This edited
volume critically interrogates the field of peace studies,
considering its assumptions, teleologies, canons, influence,
enmeshments with power structures, biases, and normative ends. We
highlight four interrelated tendencies in peace studies: hypostasis
(strong essentializing tendencies), teleology (its imagined "end"),
normativity (the set of often utopian and Eurocentric discourses
that guide it), and enterprise (the attempt to undertake large
projects, often ones of social engineering to attain this end). The
chapters in this volume reveal these tendencies while offering new
paths to escape them. Visit http://www.rethinkingpeacestudies.com/
