Routledge - Civilizing Peace Building: Global Politics Book

Civilizing Peace Building: Twenty-first Century Global Politics provides a deep study of international relations (IR) theory and its application in modern diplomacy. This book examines the high cost paid by the United Nations and international peace builders when they fail to use a reflexive new paradigm approach to global affairs. By developing an overview of IR theory used by governmental and diplomatic communities, this work serves as a guide to peace building in a complex world. It looks specifically at how IR theory relates to religious extremism and the tendencies towards barbarism seen alongside modernities. The text explores the consequences of these dynamics, including the exponential growth of international enmity between diverse populations and the public demonization of groups. This study is an essential resource for understanding the theoretical frameworks that shape how nations and international bodies attempt to maintain peace in the current century.
