The Palgrave Handbook of Global Approaches to Peace “From the local to the global, this Handbook is a remarkably comprehensive look at what peace means, how to study it and where peace building has, or has not, been successful. With authors from all parts of the world, this multi-disciplinary volume will be a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners alike who seek a deeper and richer understanding of peace making in all its complexities.” —J. Ann Tickner, Professor Emeritus, American University, USA “This handbook provides an original approach to peace by presenting an array of perspectives that depart from different theoretical, geographical and philosophical angles. It gives researchers, teachers and students a real chance to integrate them into unique, individual, and coherent global view points on the meaning of peace, peace research and a future in global peace.” —Peter Wallensteen, Senior Professor, Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, Sweden and Professor Emeritus, International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, USA “An incredibly rich menu of ideas and modalities of waging peace that transcends cultural barriers and offers hope and help in an uncertain moment of transition in the global order.” —Amitav Acharya, Professor, American University, USA “The UN Charter talks about saving succeeding generations from the scourge of war. But today we have more wars and humanitarian catastrophes than any time since 1945. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop new and innovative ideas to maintain or restore peace. That is why I highly recommend The Palgrave Handbook of Global Approaches to Peace.” —Mogens Lykketoft, President of the United Nations General Assembly 2015–2016, Denmark “In bringing together in one place 33 contributions on the idea and practices of peace, Aigul Kulnazarova and Vesselin Popovski have edited a fine collection that constitutes a major contribution to peace studies. Although the field was formalized in the 1960s, it remains somewhat under-theorized. This handbook is therefore noteworthy for bringing some conceptual clarity to the field. Its ontological inclusiveness, critical interpretations, as well as its broad empirical (cross-national/cross-regional) scope make it a must-read.” —Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner, Professor, City University of New York, USA “The Palgrave Handbook of Global Approaches to Peace is a timely and valuable compilation of works, which examine ‘peace’ through a combination of conceptual, domestic, regional, international and alternative approaches. A crucial reading for students,
researchers, academics, practitioners and all those who are interested in peace and conflict studies; this handbook specifically highlights the ideas, institutions and processes, which have contributed to international peace and peacebuilding.” —Vladimir M. Filippov, Professor and Rector of the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Russia “This important book mixes a variety of conceptual approaches, specific case st
