Dear Friends and Fellow list members,
We are delighted to announce the publication of "Geographies of Peace", which may be of interest to members on this list researching/teaching on and around ideas of violence and non-violence.
About the book:
We are frequently beset by images of war and hostility in the media, and politicians seem constantly to be in search of a means of peaceful resolution to conflicts around the world. But what do we mean by peace? Is peace simply an absence of war? When discussed by politicians, journalists, academics, even activists, it is frequently assumed that we all know: peace is left undefined. Geographies of Peace is the first book wholly dedicated to exploring the geography of peace. Drawing on recent theoretical developments and detailed empirical research from around the world, the contributors argue that it is necessary to conceptualize peace as richly as recent scholarship has done with regard to war.
Book chapters by: Simon Dalby, Nicole Laliberte, Patricia Daley, John Donaldson, Sara Koopman, Fiona McConnell, Lia Shimada, Stuart Schoenfeld and colleagues, Philippa Williams, Nick Megoran, Johnathan Darling and foreword by Oliver Richmond.
