Just Peace After Conflict : Jus Post Bellum and the Justice of Peace
The interplay between peace and justice plays an important role in any contemporary conflict.Peace can be described in a variety ways, as being 'negative' or 'positive', 'liberal' or 'democratic'.But what is it that makes a peace just? This book draws together leading scholars to study this concept of a 'just peace', analysing different elements of the transition from conflict to peace.The volume covers six core themes: conceptual approaches towards just peace, macro-principles, the nexus to security and stability, protection of persons and public goods, rule of law, and economic reform and accountability.Contributions engage with understudied issues, such as the pros and cons of robust UN mandates, the link between environmental protection and indigenous peoples, the treatment of illegal settlements, the feasibility of vetting practices, and the protection of labour rights in post-conflict economies.Overall, the book puts forward a case that just peace requires not only negotiation, agreement, and compromise, but contextual understandings of law, multiple dimensions of justice, and strategies of prevention.

Peace Through Tourism : Critical Reflections on the Intersections between Peace, Justice and Sustainable Development
Peace through Tourism considers the possibilities for tourism to contribute to efforts to unmask conflict and promote peace.This edited volume considers the intersections between tourism, peace, justice and sustainability through conceptual and empirical works surveying practices, problems and challenges all around the globe.It presents a complex and critical approach, arguing that peace through tourism is dialogic and not as simple as describing a few “good” niche segments of tourism. The pedagogies of peace represented here work to analyse structural violence associated with tourism—such as in the dominance of neoliberal market imperatives over local or social economies; colonising, patriarchal and anthropocentric practices in tourism; and tourism’s complex role in post-conflict settings.Analyses found here place scholars, industry and communities in conversation about building shared tourism futures where peace is understood as peace with justice and differences are bridged through dialogues towards understanding.In light of the many challenges in attaining sustainable development in the 21st century, this volume is an important and timely endeavour.Radical practices are explored that support more ‘just’ tourism futures. With a new introduction, this book is an insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Tourism and Peace and Conflict Studies.The chapters in this book were originally published in Journal of Sustainable Tourism.

"Equality before, but justice first?"
"Equality before, but justice first" suggests that while equality is important, it should not come at the expense of justice. This phrase emphasizes the need to address systemic injustices and inequalities in order to achieve true equality. It implies that simply treating everyone the same does not necessarily address the underlying issues of discrimination and oppression. Instead, it calls for prioritizing justice in order to create a more equitable society for all.

Conflict Resolution after the Pandemic : Building Peace, Pursuing Justice
In this edited volume, experts on conflict resolution examine the impact of the crises triggered by the coronavirus and official responses to it. The pandemic has clearly exacerbated existing social and political conflicts, but, as the book argues, its longer-term effects open the door to both further conflict escalation and dramatic new opportunities for building peace.In a series of short essays combining social analysis with informed speculation, the contributors examine the impact of the coronavirus crisis on a wide variety of issues, including nationality, social class, race, gender, ethnicity, and religion.They conclude that the period of the pandemic may well constitute a historic turning point, since the overall impact of the crisis is to destabilize existing social and political systems.Not only does this systemic shakeup produce the possibility of more intense and violent conflicts, but also presents new opportunities for advancing the related causes of social justice and civic peace.This book will be of great interest to students of peace studies, conflict resolution, public policy and International Relations.

Transitional (in)Justice and Enforcing the Peace on Palestine
This book considers the growing interest in transitional justice practices that take place against the backdrop of ongoing settler-colonialism in Palestine.By critiquing the role of common top-down and bottom-up interventions, namely truth recovery and international criminal justice, the book argues that transitional justice acts as an extension of a deeply flawed peacebuilding process that has been so destructive in Palestine and has a deflating effect when it comes to advancing calls for meaningful decolonisation.A ‘radicalisation’ of transitional justice that takes place in settler-colonial contexts, one that prioritises conversations around meaningful decolonisation, is therefore required.The book will appeal to those with an interest in peacebuilding, conflict transformation and transitional justice.

Is peace happiness?
Peace can contribute to happiness by creating a sense of security, stability, and harmony. However, peace alone may not guarantee happiness as happiness is a complex and subjective emotion that can be influenced by various factors such as personal relationships, fulfillment, and well-being. While peace can create a conducive environment for happiness to thrive, true happiness often involves a combination of inner contentment, positive experiences, and meaningful connections.

How can the peace treaty be assessed as a sustainable peace?
The peace treaty can be assessed as a sustainable peace by examining several key factors. Firstly, the involvement and commitment of all parties to the treaty is crucial for its sustainability. If all parties are genuinely invested in upholding the terms of the treaty, it is more likely to endure. Additionally, the inclusion of mechanisms for conflict resolution and reconciliation can contribute to the sustainability of the peace treaty. This can involve establishing a framework for addressing grievances and promoting dialogue between conflicting parties. Lastly, the support and involvement of the international community can also play a significant role in ensuring the sustainability of the peace treaty, by providing resources and assistance for its implementation and monitoring.
