This volume explores how we theorize, politicize, and practice
peace and conflict discourses in the social sciences. As concepts,
peace and conflict are intricately interwoven into a web of
complementary discourses where states and other actors are able to
negotiate, deliberate and arbitrate their differences short of the
overt and covert use of physical violence. The essays in this
volume reflect this eclecticism: they reflect on concerns of
contemporary conflicts in world politics; the dissection of the
ideas of peace and power; the way peace studies join with global
agencies; peace and conflict in connection to geopolitics and
identity; the domestic basis of conflict in India and the South
Asian theatre including class, social cleavages and gender. Further
they also process elements like globalization, media, communication
and films that help us engage with the popular tropes and
discursive construction of the reality that play critical roles in
how peace and violence are articulated and acted upon by the elites
and the masses in societies. This volume will be of great interest
to scholars and researchers of political science, international
relations theory, peace and conflict studies, public policy and
area studies. It will also be a key resource for bureaucrats,
policy makers, think tanks and practitioners working in the field
of international relations.
