While many have argued in the past decade that peace and conflict
studies must engage more with local actors and communities, and
scholars regularly describe the importance of local context and
culture for building sustainable peace, there are substantial
challenges methodologically to fulfilling this 'local turn'. Many
peace and conflict studies scholars are inexperienced with methods
appropriate for engaging with local communities, contexts and
cultures, and many of the important institutions in the field, from
key journals to important funders, exhibit a continuing preference
for quantitative studies. The Ethnographic Peace Research (EPR)
agenda has recently been developed in response to these challenges
and is one of the key avenues to providing a methodological
complement to the more theoretically-focused local turn literature.
This volume explores the application of the EPR approach in a
number of post-conflict and conflict-affected societies around the
world. While some chapters take a largely theoretical approach,
most consider the practical application and the different kinds of
methods that may be useful components of an EPR project. Together,
the authors provide new insights into the benefits, challenges, and
ethics of the emerging EPR agenda. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal International
Peacekeeping.
