This book presents a new approach for studying peace beyond the
absence of war. As war ends, the varying nature of the peace that
ensues has been the object of much debate. Through in-depth case
studies, including Cyprus, Cambodia, South Africa, Abkhazia,
Transnistria/Russia, Colombia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and
Myanmar, the book illustrates how conceptualising 'relational
peace' provides a framework that can be applied across cases and
actors, different levels of analysis, a variety of geographical
contexts and using different temporal perspectives and types of
data. This novel framework enables improved empirical studies of
peace. The book contributes nuanced understandings of peace in
particular settings and demonstrates the multifaceted nature of
peaceful relations - what is termed 'relational peace practices' -
making important contributions to the field of studying peace
beyond the absence of war. -- .
This book analyses and compares ceasefire agreements as part of
peace processes in intrastate armed conflicts. Research repeatedly
underscores the importance of ceasefire agreements in peace
processes but suggests that they can influence such processes in
fundamentally different ways. However, despite contradictory
expectations, remarkably few studies have so far been devoted to
systematic and in-depth analysis of ceasefire agreements in
contemporary intrastate armed conflicts. This book contributes to
filling this gap by using a process-oriented conflict dynamics
approach to analyse and explain how ceasefire agreements are being
influenced by and in turn influences the broader dynamics of peace
processes. Empirically, the book focuses on the armed conflicts in
Aceh (Indonesia) and Sri Lanka. Based on document studies and 57
interviews with key actors, it presents comparative insights and
in-depth knowledge about ceasefire agreements in different
contextual settings. The book problematizes the common assumption
in the literature that ceasefire agreements create momentum in
peace processes and pave the way to peace, and it provides a more
nuanced analysis and understanding based on two empirical cases
analysed within a comparative framework. In contrast to
conventional wisdom, it demonstrates how ceasefires on the contrary
also can have negative implications on peace processes. This book
will be of much interest to students of conflict resolution, peace
studies, intra-state conflict, security studies and IR in general.
