Produktbeschreibung

This edited collection explores the diversity of past conceptualizations as well as the remarkable continuity in the desire for peace across global intellectual traditions. Each chapter offers a case study of a particular intellectual tradition and attempts to rehabilitate 'forgotten' conceptions of peace and reclaim its contemporary relevance. This book brings together wide-ranging material for students and specialists interested in international relations, peace studies, history, political theory, philosophy and religious studies.
