Description

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.
