Beschreibung
The politics of peace has undergone tremendous changes since the end of
the Cold War: It moved from an ideological debate into a well established
policy field. How does this affect its content? And what are the
implications for peace research? At the occasion of its 20 th anniversary,
the Swiss Peace Foundation (swisspeace) invited contributions from eminent
experts to the most controversial issues of this debate such as state
building, international interventions, civil society and business actors.
The book concludes with some thoughts on the interaction between research
and politics.
Laurent Goetschel (ed.) is director of swisspeace (Bern) and professor of
political science at the University of Basel.
