Download or read book Le genre entre guerre et paix written by Nadine Puechguirbal and published by Dalloz-Sirey. This book was released on 2007 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'histoire des guerres est une histoire qui parle d'abord et essentiellement des hommes. L'histoire diplomatique est à l'avenant. La science politique n'a que depuis peu pris en considération la dimension sexuée de la population. Cet ouvrage est donc particulièrement novateur. Nadine Puechguirbal s'intéresse en effet à un domaine peu exploré, particulièrement dans le champ universitaire français, celui des transformations des rapports sociaux de sexes dans les conflits armés et de leur recomposition lors du retour à la paix et dans la phase de reconstruction du pays. [...] La richesse du travail tient, notamment, à ce que l'auteure a mobilisé pour son analyse un vaste champ de recherches clans différentes disciplines (histoire, anthropologie, sociologie, science politique, droit, relations internationales). Elle a en outre accumulé sur les trois pays qui servent à son analyse une somme impressionnante d'informations et de références souvent ignorées en France. [...] Comme tout travail pionnier celui-ci, on le voit, ouvre de nombreuses perspectives de recherches. " Françoise Gaspard

Book excerpt: La 4ème de couv. indique : "À la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle, tout le monde semble être pacifiste, et cependant la Grande Guerre éclate en Europe. Elle va faire des millions de victimes et bouleverser le système international. Comment réorganiser le monde sur des bases stables ? Comment instaurer la paix, autrement que par le règne du droit ? Comment s'opposer à l'empire de la force autrement que par la non-violence et la résistance civile ? La faillite de la paix se solde par une Seconde Guerre mondiale, encore plus meurtrière. Paradoxalement, la révolution nucléaire, qui semble ouvrir la voie au cataclysme, favorise le maintien de la paix pendant la guerre froide. Mais la prolifération des armes de destruction massive menace la stabilité internationale : à quoi rime une paix fondée sur un monde surarmé ? est-ce la paix ? ou l'empire de la force que l'après-guerre froide semble instaurer ?"
Download or read book The Frontlines of Peace written by Severine Autesserre and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At turns surprising, funny, and gut-wrenching, this is the hopeful story of the ordinary yet extraordinary people who have figured out how to build lasting peace in their communities The word "peacebuilding" evokes a story we've all heard over and over: violence breaks out, foreign nations are scandalized, peacekeepers and million-dollar donors come rushing in, warring parties sign a peace agreement and, sadly, within months the situation is back to where it started--sometimes worse. But what strategies have worked to build lasting peace in conflict zones, particularly for ordinary citizens on the ground? And why should other ordinary citizens, thousands of miles away, care? In The Frontlines of Peace, Séverine Autesserre, award-winning researcher and peacebuilder, examines the well-intentioned but inherently flawed peace industry. With examples drawn from across the globe, she reveals that peace can grow in the most unlikely circumstances. Contrary to what most politicians preach, building peace doesn't require billions in aid or massive international interventions. Real, lasting peace requires giving power to local citizens. Now including teaching and book club discussion guides, The Frontlines of Peace tells the stories of the ordinary yet extraordinary individuals and organizations that are confronting violence in their communities effectively. One thing is clear: successful examples of peacebuilding around the world, in countries at war or at peace, have involved innovative grassroots initiatives led by local people, at times supported by foreigners, often employing methods shunned by the international elite. By narrating success stories of this kind, Autesserre shows the radical changes we must take in our approach if we hope to build lasting peace around us--whether we live in Congo, the United States, or elsewhere.
Download or read book German Atrocities 1914 written by John Horne and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it true that the German army, invading Belgium and France in August 1914, perpetrated brutal atrocities? Or are accounts of the deaths of thousands of unarmed civilians mere fabrications constructed by fanatically anti-German Allied propagandists? Based on research in the archives of Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, this pathbreaking book uncovers the truth of the events of autumn 1914 and explains how the politics of propaganda and memory have shaped radically different versions of that truth. John Horne and Alan Kramer mine military reports, official and private records, witness evidence, and war diaries to document the crimes that scholars have long denied: a campaign of brutality that led to the deaths of some 6500 Belgian and French civilians. Contemporary German accounts insisted that the civilians were guerrillas, executed for illegal resistance. In reality this claim originated in a vast collective delusion on the part of German soldiers. The authors establish how this myth originated and operated, and how opposed Allied and German views of events were used in the propaganda war. They trace the memory and forgetting of the atrocities on both sides up to and beyond World War II. Meticulously researched and convincingly argued, this book reopens a painful chapter in European history while contributing to broader debates about myth, propaganda, memory, war crimes, and the nature of the First World War.

Download or read book Geographies of Peace and Armed Conflict written by Audrey Kobayashi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection addresses the impact of armed conflict and explores pathways to peace across the world. Topics range from geopolitics to the effects of armed conflict on the environment, resources, health, children, and transnational migration. Others explore the social processes involved in post-conflict situations, and others still the lessons for achieving effective peace. The geographical concepts addressed include the notion of "conflict space," landscapes of terror, the relationship between violence and justice, the conditions for peace, and the dynamics of post-conflict. Methods include landscape analysis, interviews with a range of citizens, mapping and geographic information science, and policy analysis. Several papers address the situation of children in conflict zones, the impact of conflict on patterns of migration, the role of gender in achieving peace, the concept of territory as a basis for conflict and for negotiation of peace, as well as the economic impact of conflict. The studies cover several world regions, including Africa, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and eastern Europe. This book was originally published as a special issue of Annals of the Association of American Geographers.
Download or read book Geographies of Peace written by Fiona McConnell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From handshakes on the White House lawn to Picasso's iconic dove of peace, the images and stereotypes of peace are powerful, widespread and easily recognizable. Yet if we try to offer a concise definition of peace it is altogether a more complicated exercise. Not only is peace an emotive and value-laden concept, it is also abstract, ambiguous and seemingly inextricably tied to its antithesis: war. And it is war and violence that have been so compellingly studied within critical geography in recent years. This volume offers an attempt to redress that balance, and to think more expansively and critically about what peace means and what geographies of peace may entail. The editors begin with an examination of critical approaches to peace in other disciplines and a helpful genealogy of peace studies within geography. The book is then divided into three sections. The opening section examines how the idea of peace may be variously constructed and interpreted according to different sites and scales. The chapters in the second section explore a remarkably wide range of techniques of peacemaking.This widens the discussion from the archetypical image of top-down, diplomatic state-led initiatives to imperial boundary making practices, grassroots cultural identity assertion, boycotts, self-immolation, ex-paramilitary community activism, and 'protective accompaniment'. The final section shifts the scale and focus to everyday personal relations and a range of practices around the concept of coexistence. In their concluding chapter the editors spell out some of the key questions that they believe a geography of peace must address: What spatial factors have facilitated the success or precipitated the failure of some peace movements or diplomatic negotiations? Why are some ideologies productive of violence in some places but co-operation in others? How have some communities been better able to deal with religious, racial, cultural and class conflict than others? How have creative approaches to sharing sovereignty mitigated or transformed territorial disputes that once seemed intractable? Geographies of Peace is the first book wholly devoted to exploring the geography of peace.Drawing on both recent advances in social and political theory and detailed empirical research covering four continents, it makes a significant intervention into current debates about peace and violence.

Download or read book Warlord Democrats in Africa written by Anders Themnér and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-war democratization has been identified as a crucial mechanism to build peace in war-ridden societies, supposedly allowing belligerents to compete through ballots rather than bullets. A byproduct of this process, however, is that military leaders often become an integral part of the new democratic system, using resources and networks generated from the previous war to dominate the emerging political landscape. The crucial and thus-far overlooked question to be addressed, therefore, is what effect the inclusion of ex-militaries into electoral politics has on post-war security. Can 'warlord democrats' make a positive contribution by shepherding their wartime constituencies to support the building of peace and democracy, or are they likely to use their electoral platforms to sponsor political violence and keep war-affected communities mobilized through aggressive discourses? This important volume, containing a wealth of fresh empirical detail and theoretical insight, and focussing on some of Africa's most high-profile political figures – from Paul Kagame to Riek Machar to Afonso Dhlakama – represents a crucial intervention in the literature of post-war democratization.
