Taylor & Francis Ltd - Peace And Conflict Studies Perspectives From South Asia - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This volume explores how we theorize politicize and practice peace and conflict discourses in the social sciences. As concepts peace and conflict are intricately interwoven into a web of complementary discourses where states and other actors are able to negotiate deliberate and arbitrate their differences short of the overt and covert use of physical violence. The essays in this volume reflect this eclecticism: they reflect on concerns of contemporary conflicts in world politics; the dissection of the ideas of peace and power; the way peace studies join with global agencies; peace and conflict in connection to geopolitics and identity; the domestic basis of conflict in India and the South Asian theatre including class social cleavages and gender. Further they also process elements like globalization media communication and films that help us engage with the popular tropes and discursive construction of the reality that play critical roles in how peace and violence are articulated and acted upon by the elites and the masses in societies. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of political science international relations theory peace and conflict studies public policy and area studies. It will also be a key resource for bureaucrats policy makers think tanks and practitioners working in the field of international relations.
