The second edition of this influential book examines the transformation of the discourse and praxis of peace, from its early beginnings in the literature on war and power to the development of intellectual and theoretical discourses of peace, contrasting this with the development of practical approaches to peace and examining the intellectual and policy evolution regarding peace. Now with reflections on each chapter and a new introduction and conclusion, the book is essential reading for researchers and students of peace and conflict studies and beyond.
