This book analyses the use of communication in resolving conflicts,
with a focus on de-escalation and processes of peacebuilding and
peace formation. From the employment of hate radio in the Rwanda
genocide, to the current conflict between Russia and the Ukraine
following events in the Crimea, communication and the media are
widely recognized as powerful tools in conflicts and war. Although
there has been significant academic attention on the relationship
between the media, conflict and war, academic efforts to understand
this relationship have tended to focus primarily on the links
between communication and conflict, rather than on communication
and peace. In order to make sense of peace it is essential to look
at communication in its many facets, mediated or not. This is true
within many of the diverse strands that make up the field of
communication and peace, but it is also true in the sense that a
holistic and interdisciplinary approach is missing from the
literature. This book addresses this widely acknowledged lacuna by
providing an interdisciplinary perspective on the field, bringing
together relevant, but so far largely isolated, streams of
research. In doing so, it aims to provide a platform for further
reflection of the meaning of, and requirements for, peace in our
contemporary world with a focus on de-escalation, conflict
transformation, reconciliation and processes of peacebuilding - as
opposed to conflict escalation or crisis intervention. This volume
will be of much interest to students of peace and conflict studies,
peacebuilding, media and communication studies, security studies
and IR in general.
