Drawing primarily on peace and conflict research and sociology, it defines relational peace as entailing non-domination, deliberation, and cooperation between actors in a dyad, that the actors recognize and trust each other, and that they conceive their relationship as one between fellows or friends. The book provides tools for empirical studies of relational peace and applies the framework in several sites: Cyprus, Cambodia, South Africa, Abkhazia, Transnistria/Russia, Colombia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Myanmar. It shows how the framework can be applied across cases, actors, geographical locations, levels of analysis, types of data, and stages of peace processes. The book offers guidance on how to use the framework empirically with a variety of methods. Each case study in the book also makes unique contributions to specific literatures, such as civil SN - 9781526168979 KW - deliberation KW - cooperation KW - non-domination KW - trust KW - recognition KW - friendship KW - processual KW - practice KW - actor-centric KW - web of relations KW - thema EDItEUR::G Reference, Information and Interdisciplinary subjects::GT Interdisciplinary studies::GTU Peace studies and conflict resolution KW - thema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government::JPS International relations KW - thema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government::JPB Comparative politics ER -
