This updated and revised second edition examines the
conceptualisation and evolution of peace in International Relations
(IR) theory. The book examines the concept of peace and its usage
in the main theoretical debates in IR, including realism,
liberalism, constructivism, critical theory, and
post-structuralism, as well as in the more direct debates on peace
and conflict studies. It explores themes relating to culture,
development, agency, and structure, not just in terms of
representations of IR, and of peace, but in terms of the discipline
of IR itself. The work also specifically explores the recent
mantras associated with liberal and neoliberal versions of peace,
which appear to have become foundational for much of the mainstream
literature and for doctrines for peace and development in the
policy world. Analysing war has often led to the dominance - and
mitigation - of violence as a basic assumption in, and response to,
the problems of IR. This study aims to redress this negative
balance by arguing that the discipline offers a rich basis for the
study of peace, which has advanced significantly over the last
century or so. It also proposes innovative theoretical dimensions
of the study of peace, with new chapters discussing post-colonial
and digital developments. This book will be of great interest to
students of peace and conflict studies, politics, and IR.
