Politics of Difference

This book attempts to approach peace from its theoretical fundations, developing a framework that, first, will address critiques of concepts of peace, which nullify this fundamental relation and are therefore called `imperial peace¿ here (also `liberal peace¿ elsewhere); and second, for (re)thinking of peace as a tension between `self¿ and "other" anchored in a politics of the promotion and cultivation of differences. This framework thus operates as both a critique and a re-articulation of peace.
