Launch of special issue of Geopolitics - Creating Space for Peace
Welcome to the launch of the special issue of Geopolitics Creating Space for Peace in the Context of Non-War Violence: Challenging War-Peace Dichotomy through Feminist, Spatial-Temporal, and Decolonial Approaches.
At the launch, Dr. Claske Dijkema from the Department of Social Work at the Bern University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland) will participate and several of the authors of the articles that make up the special issue will participate in the conversation.
The articles in this special issue question linear and binary views of war and peace by outlining the limits of peace and war. The articles challenge established ideas, political discourses, and collective notions of the place of violence, peace, and peacebuilding.
The articles in the special issue contain empirical and theoretical arguments for why studies of peace and conflict and the geographies of peace should expand their empirical focus to include contexts of non-war violence, such as military urbanism, counter-terrorism, police violence, migration, environmental struggles, and continued everyday violence and peacebuilding in various places such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Kenya, Lebanon, and Northern Ireland.
