Book Synopsis Bosnia's Paralysed Peace by : Christopher Bennett
Download or read book Bosnia's Paralysed Peace written by Christopher Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immediately following Bosnia's recent war, 60,000 NATO troops were deployed to help implement aspects of the Dayton Peace Agreement. A number of international institutions, including the European Commission, the IMF, the OHR, the OSCE, the World Bank, and the United Nations, as well as many development agencies, worked together to make the country whole, cushioned by generous flows of aid. Nevertheless, despite this massive commitment in resources and effort, Bosnia's peace process can at best be described as paralyzed. Various unresolved issues threaten to revive old conflicts, and the zero-sum politics of rival ethnonational leaders threaten to disrupt permanent stability. International officials continue to claim that there is no alternative to Bosnia's European peace path. They urge the country's leaders to temper their rhetoric and hold fast to internationally approved reforms. Christopher Bennett argues instead that the failure to build peace is directly tied to the liberal peace model dominating international strategy.While policymakers focus on what should be in reproducing Western liberal democracy, they really should consider what is, especially in terms of ethnonational security. Bennett's account of Bosnia's slow historical disintegration, subsequent brutal war, and present reconstruction institutes a paradigm shift in the scholarship on securing ethnonational security within the country. It also points to a truer method for promoting self-sustaining peace.
Book Synopsis The Rise and Fall of Peacebuilding in the Balkans by : Roberto Belloni
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Peacebuilding in the Balkans written by Roberto Belloni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution of liberal peacebuilding in the Balkans since the mid-1990s. After more than two decades of peacebuilding intervention, widespread popular disappointment by local communities is increasingly visible. Since the early 2010s, difficult conditions have spurred a wave of protest throughout the region. Citizens have variously denounced the political system, political elites, corruption and mismanagement. Rather than re-evaluating their strategy in light of mounting local discontent, international peacebuilding officials have increasingly adopted cynical calculations about stability. This book explains this evolution from the optimism of the mid-1990s to the current state through the analysis of three main phases, moving from the initial ‘rise’, to a later condition of ‘stalemate’ and then ‘fall’ of peacebuilding.

Book Synopsis The Struggle for Redress by : Jessie Barton-Hronešová
Download or read book The Struggle for Redress written by Jessie Barton-Hronešová and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores pathways to redress for main groups of victims/survivors of the 1992-5 Bosnian war —families of missing persons, victims of torture, survivors of sexual violence, and victims suffering physical disabilities and harm. The author traces the history of redress-making for each of these groups and shows how differently they have been treated by Bosnian authorities at the state and subnational level. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, thousands of war victims have had to suffer re-traumatising ordeals in order to secure partial redress for their suffering during 1992–1995 and after. While some, such as victims of sexual violence, have been legally recognised and offered financial and service-based compensation, others, such as victims of torture, have been recognized only recently with a clear geographical limitation. The main aim of the book is to explore the politics behind recognizing victimhood and awarding redress in a country that has been divided by instrumentalized identity cleavages, widespread patronage and debilitating war legacies. It shows how war victims/survivors navigate such fragmented and challenging public landscape in order to secure their rights.
Book Synopsis Building a Multiethnic Military in Post-Yugoslav Bosnia and Herzegovina by : Elliot Short
Download or read book Building a Multiethnic Military in Post-Yugoslav Bosnia and Herzegovina written by Elliot Short and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 1 January 2006, soldiers from across Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered to mark the official formation of a unified army; and yet, little over a decade before, these men had been each other's adversaries during the vicious conflict which left the Balkan state divided and impoverished. Building a Multi-Ethnic Military in Post-Yugoslav Bosnia and Herzegovina offers the first analysis of the armed forces during times of peace-building in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This sophisticated study assesses Yugoslav efforts to build a multi-ethnic military during the socialist period, charts the developments of the armies that fought in the war, and offers a detailed account of the post-war international initiatives that led to the creation of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At this point, the military became the largest multi-ethnic institution in the country and was regarded as a model for the rest of Bosnian society to follow. As such, as Elliot Short adroitly contends, this multi-ethnic army became the most significant act in stabilising the country since the end of the Bosnian War. Drawing upon a wealth of primary sources – including interviews with leading diplomats and archival documents made available in English for the first time – this book explores the social and political role of the Bosnian military and in doing so provides fresh insight into the Yugoslav Wars, statehood and national identity, and peace-building in modern European history.
Book Synopsis International Law and Peace Settlements by : Marc Weller
Download or read book International Law and Peace Settlements written by Marc Weller and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 1232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Law and Peace Settlements provides a systematic and comprehensive assessment of the relationship between international law and peace settlement practice across core settlement issues, e.g. transitional justice, human rights, refugees, self-determination, power-sharing, and wealth-sharing. The contributions address key cross-cutting questions on the legal status of peace agreements, the potential for developing international law, and the role of key actors – such as non-state armed groups, third-state witnesses and guarantors, and the UN Security Council – in the legalisation and internationalisation of settlement commitments. In recent years, significant scholarly work has examined facets of the relationship between international law and peace settlements, through concepts such as jus post bellum and lex pacificatoria. International Law and Peace Settlements drives forward the debate on the legalisation and internationalisation of peace agreements with diverse contributions from leading academics and practitioners in international law and conflict resolution.

Download or read book Measuring Peace written by Richard Caplan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we know if the peace that has been established following a civil war is a stable peace? More than half of all countries that experienced civil war since World War II have suffered a relapse into violent conflict, in some cases more than once. Meanwhile, the international community expends billions of dollars and deploys tens of thousands of personnel each year in support of efforts to build peace in countries emerging from violent conflict. This book argues that efforts to build peace are hampered by the lack of effective means of assessing progress towards the achievement of a consolidated peace. Rarely, if ever, do peacebuilding organizations and governments seek to ascertain the quality of the peace that they are helping to build and the contribution that their engagement is making (or not) to the consolidation of peace. More rigorous assessments of the robustness of peace are needed. These assessments require clarity about the characteristics of, and the requirements for, a stable peace. This in turn requires knowledge of the local culture, local history, and the specific conflict dynamics at work in a given conflict situation. Better assessment can inform peacebuilding actors in the reconfiguration and reprioritization of their operations in cases where conditions on the ground have deteriorated or improved. To build a stable peace, it is argued here, it is important to take the measure of peace.
Download or read book Peace Photography written by Frank Möller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study thinks with photography about peace. It asks how photography can represent peace, and how such representation can contribute to peace. The book offers an original critique of the almost exclusive focus on violence in recent work on visual culture and presents a completely new research agenda within the overall framework of visual peace research. Critically engaging with both photojournalism and art photography in light of peace theories, it looks for visual representations or anticipations of peace – peace or peace as a potentiality – in the work of selected photographers including Robert Capa and Richard Mosse, thus reinterpreting photography from the Spanish Civil War to current anti-migration politics in Europe. The book argues that peace photography is episodic, culturally specific, process-oriented and considerate of both the past and the future.
Book Synopsis Religious Peace, Then and Now by : Wayne P. Te Brake
Download or read book Religious Peace, Then and Now written by Wayne P. Te Brake and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious Peace, Then and Now presents a radically new perspective on one of the critical challenges of our time: making religious peace in a world afflicted by religious conflict, violence, and war. In a text that is passionate and accessible, Wayne Te Brake demonstrates how concerned citizens and political and religious leaders, who have learned to recognize religious peace when they see religious diversity, can envision and promote a more peaceful world through constructive engagement and nonviolent activism. Religious Peace builds on the author’s personal experience as well as his academic research on religious war and religious peace during Europe’s Age of Religious Wars and applies what we can learn from that history to our understanding of the prevalence and prospect of religious peace today.

Book Synopsis Humanitarian Military Intervention by : Taylor B. Seybolt
Download or read book Humanitarian Military Intervention written by Taylor B. Seybolt and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2007 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military intervention in a conflict without a reasonable prospect of success is unjustifiable, especially when it is done in the name of humanity. Couched in the debate on the responsibility to protect civilians from violence and drawing on traditional 'just war' principles, the centralpremise of this book is that humanitarian military intervention can be justified as a policy option only if decision makers can be reasonably sure that intervention will do more good than harm. This book asks, 'Have past humanitarian military interventions been successful?' It defines success as saving lives and sets out a methodology for estimating the number of lives saved by a particular military intervention. Analysis of 17 military operations in six conflict areas that were thedefining cases of the 1990s-northern Iraq after the Gulf War, Somalia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, Kosovo and East Timor-shows that the majority were successful by this measure. In every conflict studied, however, some military interventions succeeded while others failed, raising the question, 'Why have some past interventions been more successful than others?' This book argues that the central factors determining whether a humanitarian intervention succeeds are theobjectives of the intervention and the military strategy employed by the intervening states. Four types of humanitarian military intervention are offered: helping to deliver emergency aid, protecting aid operations, saving the victims of violence and defeating the perpetrators of violence. Thefocus on strategy within these four types allows an exploration of the political and military dimensions of humanitarian intervention and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each of the four types.Humanitarian military intervention is controversial. Scepticism is always in order about the need to use military force because the consequences can be so dire. Yet it has become equally controversial not to intervene when a government subjects its citizens to massive violation of their basic humanrights. This book recognizes the limits of humanitarian intervention but does not shy away from suggesting how military force can save lives in extreme circumstances.

Book Synopsis Unintended Consequences of Peacekeeping Operations by : Chiyuki Aoi
Download or read book Unintended Consequences of Peacekeeping Operations written by Chiyuki Aoi and published by UNU. This book was released on 2007 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deployment of a large number of soldiers, police officers and civilian personnel inevitably has various effects on the host society and economy, not all of which are in keeping with the peacekeeping mandate and intent or are easily discernible prior to the intervention. This book is one of the first attempts to improve our understanding of unintended consequences of peacekeeping operations, by bringing together field experiences and academic analysis. The aim of the book is not to discredit peace operations but rather to improve the way in which such operations are planned and managed.
Book Synopsis Deferring Peace in International Statebuilding by : Pol Bargués-Pedreny
Download or read book Deferring Peace in International Statebuilding written by Pol Bargués-Pedreny and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the last 25 years of international peacebuilding and recasts them as a growing crisis of confidence in universal ideas of peacebuilding and self-government. Since current peacebuilding interventions are abandoning domineering, top-down and linear methodologies, and experimenting with context-sensitive, self-reflexive and locally driven strategies, the book makes two suggestions. The first is that international policymakers are embracing some of the critiques of liberal peace. For more than a decade, scholarly critiques have pointed out the need to focus on everyday dynamics and local initiatives and resistances to liberal peace in order to enable hybrid and long-term practice-based strategies of peacebuilding. Now, the distance between the policy discourse and critical frameworks has narrowed. The second suggestion is that in stepping away from liberal peace, a transvaluation of peacebuilding values is occurring. Critiques are beginning to accept and valorise that international interventions will continuously fail to produce sensitive results. The earlier frustrations with unexpected setbacks, errors or contingencies are ebbing away. Instead, critiques normalise the failure to promote stability and peace. This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, international intervention, conflict resolution, international organisations and security studies in general.

Book Synopsis The Liminal Loop by : Timothy L. Carson
Download or read book The Liminal Loop written by Timothy L. Carson and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent and current crises in health, ecology, society and spirituality have lent the whole arena of liminality a new urgency and relevancy. Those who traverse the great transitions are rediscovering new ways of interpreting life through the liminal lens, a way to make sense of the great voluntary and unchosen transitions that characterize modern life. This anthology provides a unique overview of liminality as it gathers a diverse coterie of authors, disciplines, and contexts to explore its many facets. Distinct in its interdisciplinary approach, The Liminal Loop serves as an important source book for general readers, teachers, students, artists, counselors, spiritual guides, and social transformers. From liminal poetry and musical traditions to the strange vertical world of the rock climber, The Liminal Loop explores the swirling chaos on the other side of critical thresholds and suggests a pathway through the daunting middle passages of the in-between. With what can only be described as courage, the many authors of this collection dare to look uncertainty in the eye, knowing that this is a necessary journey, and that it is better to travel with a common band of pilgrims than to go it alone.
