Rethinking peace in turbulent times: perspectives from six scholars
With considerable flux in the peace and conflict landscape, scholars, policymakers, practitioners and publics alike are scrambling to understand emerging realities. Moreover, a sometimes slow academic publishing cycle means that much material appearing in academic journals seems already outdated–reporting on a peace and conflict landscape as though we are still in an era of comprehensive peace processes and peace accords. In an effort to shed some light on a fast-evolving context, we posed six questions to leading thinkers on peace and conflict. Their answers have been edited to minimise overlap.
