{"product_id":"9781538147344","title":"PRE-ORDER NOW The Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Handbook of Peace and Conflict Studies : Perspectives from the Global South by Solveig Richter","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e PRE-ORDER NOW - Published: 19\/02\/2026 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new open access handbook combines conceptual thinking with empirical  illustrations to understand the trajectories of conflict and violence  in our world.   Peace and Conflict Studies were broadly founded  in the Northern Hemisphere, which strongly influenced how scholars  understand patterns of peace or violence in Africa, Latin America and  South-East Asia. This has proven to provide practitioners not only with  false promises about external intervention, but even strengthened  asymmetric colonial power structures in the way knowledge was and is  produced. There is a need to make the discipline more plural by  initiating and shaping a new research agenda that is more strongly  rooted in the ground realities, contexts, imaginations - political,  economic, and social - of the Global South(s). This handbook is the  first of its kind with a comprehensive and inclusive agenda for the  field of peace and conflict studies: It engages in a thorough academic  discussion not only about the Global South(s) but includes perspectives from the Global South(s). It reflects productive discussions with scholars  from the Global South(s) that constitute the majority of authors in  this handbook. In addition, while the handbook is a scholarly knowledge  product, it is also an ongoing process for scholars, students and practitioners from both South(s) and North(s) with diverse backgrounds and positionalities.   This  handbook is essential reference for students and researchers working on  global peace and conflict studies, postcolonial studies, and  international relations.
