Peace infrastructures and state-building at the margins
In: Rethinking peace and conflict studies
Abstract
This book offers a critical examination of 'infrastructures for peace', originally proposed as a framework of conflict transformation. Through an exploration of the statist ideological underpinnings of peace-building, it traces how the concept was transformed by institutional actors - international organisations and states - into a tool to further the state-building goals of liberal peace-building. Balázs Áron Kovács is the manager of the Philippines programme of forumZFD, a German NGO working on conflict transformation. He is based in Davao City, Mindanao, Philippines. Dr Kovacs's research in the field of critical peace and conflict studies focuses on state-society interactions in the context of peace- and state-building.--
