Routledge Handbook of Peacebuilding

Beschreibung

This updated and revised second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Peacebuilding contains cutting-edge analyses of contemporary attempts to reach and sustain peace.

The book covers the main actors and dynamics of peacebuilding, as well as the main challenges that it faces, with accessible chapters. The volume is comprehensive, covering everything from the main international institutions for peacebuilding to the links between peacebuilding and climate change, or peacebuilding and trauma. It is also firmly interdisciplinary, with a number of chapters devoted to showcasing how different disciplines interpret peacebuilding and how they contribute to it. Bringing together leading thinkers and practitioners on peacebuilding, many from the Global South, the handbook offers a valuable "hands-on" perspective on how peace can be secured and sustained. There is a significant emphasis on comparison and the book shows how peacebuilding is best examined from the vantage point of multiple cases.

The book is organised into six thematic sections:

Part I: Architecture and Actors

Part II: Reading Peacebuilding

Part III: Issues and Approaches

Part IV: Violence and Security

Part V: Everyday Living

Part VI: Disciplinary Approaches

This book will be essential reading for students of peacebuilding, mediation and post-conflict reconstruction, and of great interest to students of statebuilding, intervention, civil wars, conflict resolution, war and conflict studies and IR in general.

Rezensionen

'This is an excellent addition to the roster of background texts on peacebuilding and its many dimensions. It contains multiple up-to-date chapters that illustrate the complexity of the challenges facing peacebuilding, and the inadequacy of the current peace architectures and infrastructures as well as many of its processes. This is a must-read for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses on peace and conflict.'

Oliver P. Richmond, University of Manchester, UK

'The Routledge Handbook of Peacebuilding has garnered acclaim as an authoritative reference and educational text over the last decade. In its second edition, it further enriches its utility by incorporating critical assessments of emerging

peacebuilding trends, amplifying perspectives from the Global South, and offering insightful reflections on the intricate nature of peacebuilding.'

SungYong Lee, Professor, Soka University, Japan

'With wars raging around the planet and numerous long-running conflicts unresolved, the need for peacebuilding has never been greater. Roger Mac Ginty has put together a cutting-edge collection of works on making and sustaining peace. The Handbook of Peacebuilding is particularly adept in showing the multi-dimensional nature of conflict and the need for us to take issues of gender, race, climate change, and poverty seriously when seeking to build peace.'

Severine Autesserre, author of Peaceland and The Frontlines of Peace, Barnard College, Columbia University, USA

'At a time when the efforts of peacebuilders are being sorely challenged, this book responds to the need for an imaginative and effective response. The global voices and perspectives presented here provide an inspiring and energising vision to counter the violence which threatens to reverse the peacebuilding gains of the past twenty years. An outstanding and impressive achievement.'

Tom Woodhouse, University of Bradford, UK
