In: Sicherheit & Frieden, Band 37, Heft 2, S. 62-67

Abstract

Modern liberal peace strategies emerged from specific theoretical traditions, empirical insights and historical contexts. At the same time, they have evolved over time and come in different fashions, sometimes even contradicting each other. Hence, their meaning is not self-evident. In order to better understand what liberal peace strategies are and mean, this article traces their general background, describes their classic comprehensive version and alerts to more specific versions prioritizing specific elements of liberal thinking.
