The 2nd Edition of Peace in International Relations examines how peace is conceptualized and has evolved within International Relations theory. Seeking to redress the discipline's persistent focus on war and the mitigation of violence, the volume shows that theoretical debates offer a rich foundation for analyzing peace.
The text investigates how peace is understood across established theoretical schools, including realism, liberalism, constructivism, critical theory, and post-structuralism, alongside direct debates in peace and conflict studies. It also addresses how liberal and neoliberal frameworks have shaped mainstream scholarship and policy doctrines on development.
Published in 2020, the second edition adds chapters on post-colonial and digital developments. The book is intended for students of politics, International Relations, and peace and conflict studies.
