Description
The concept of peace has been subject to radical thought and practice throughout history. While often used interchangeably with terms like 'peacemaking' and 'conflict resolution', the modern understanding of peace encompasses much more than mere absence of violence. In this second edition, Oliver Richmond explores the evolution of peace in both theory and practice, examining our contemporary assumptions about its applications and the various interpretations of its meaning. A new framework is introduced to understand the overall development of international peace architecture. This book provides a concise introduction to the complexities of modern peace, making it an ideal starting point for those seeking to understand this multifaceted concept.
