Abstract

The results of the Brexit referendum and the 2016 US presidential election took the world by surprise, casting doubt on the validity of expert opinion and polling data, and raising the spectre of a 'post-truth' era. In the view of many commentators, they also signaled a rejection of the post-war liberal order, as large numbers of people attempted to fight back against a political system they saw as having failed them. But were those people right ? And what comes next ? In this book, the author argues that politics has failed. It has failed all of us. Using a combination of political theory, public commentary and personal reflection, he explores why the polls got both results so wrong, why our leaders prefer populism and anti-immigrant rhetoric to real engagement with the politics of identity, and whether our political discourse over-emphasizes the role of statistics and hard data while dismissing the crucial importance of identity and narratives. Ultimately, the author shows that for politics to survive in the post-truth era it needs to change the way it engages with people's interpretations of the world. Identity matters, but not in some superficial, politically correct way. Taking it seriously requires a recognition not just of competing claims but also of our own fallibilities. Only by accepting responsibility in this way can we build a politics that will endure the turbulent times to come.

Abstract

"This handbook offers a comprehensive analysis of peacebuilding in ethnic conflicts, with attention to theory, peacebuilder roles, making sense of the past and shaping the future, as well as case studies and approaches. Comprising 28 chapters that present key insights on peacebuilding in ethnic conflicts, the volume has implications for teaching and training, as well as for practice and policy. The handbook is divided into four thematic parts. Part 1 focuses on critical dimensions of ethnic conflicts, including root causes, gender, external involvements, emancipatory peacebuilding, hatred as a public health issue, environmental issues, American nationalism, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Part 2 focuses on peacebuilders' roles, including Indigenous peacemaking, nonviolent accompaniment, peace leadership in the military, interreligious peacebuilders, local women, and young people. Part 3 addresses the past and shaping of the future, including a discussion of public memory, heritage rights and monuments, refugees, trauma and memory, aggregated trauma in the African-American community, exhumations after genocide, and a healing-centered approach to conflict. Part 4 presents case studies on Sri Lanka's post-war reconciliation process, peacebuilding in Mindanao, transformative peace negotiation in Aceh and Bougainville, external economic aid for peacebuilding in Northern Ireland, Indigenous and local peacemaking, and a continuum of peacebuilding focal points. The handbook offers perspectives on the breadth and significance of peacebuilding work in ethnic conflicts throughout the world. This volume will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, ethnic conflict, security studies, and international relations"--

Abstract

"This book provides a short and accessible introduction to the theory of strategy, examines the general theory of strategy in accordance with 23 key Principles and explains its nature, functions, and intended consequences. 'Theory of Strategy' makes the radical argument that the familiar structure of strategy's general theory (political ends, strategic ways, military means - and assumptions) holds as sound for security at all times and in all places, of human necessity. Strategy is ever-varying in its character, but not in its nature, which is unchanging."--Page 4 of cover.
