Peace in Plural: Towards Decolonial and Feminist Approaches to Peace

Abstract

This Special Issue delves into the concept of peace beyond traditional definitions, engaging with decolonial and feminist perspectives to emphasize peace not merely as the absence of war or conflict but as a broader notion encompassing the absence of all forms of violence, the presence of justice, and the pursuit of liberation. Drawing from diverse geopolitical and epistemological backgrounds, this collection of articles proposes a transition towards pluriversality, plurivocality, and pluritudes in understanding peace, aiming to disrupt disciplinary boundaries and foster a more comprehensive, nuanced, just, and liberatory understanding of peace.
