Paradoxes of Peace in Nineteenth Century Europe
Paradoxes of Peace in Nineteenth Century Europe
About this book
The use of armed force in conflict is often presented as a 'mission for peace'. How did the word 'peace' come to mean war in certain contexts? When calling for peace, we are calling for a certain kind of peace, one recognized by the international community. Peace is a polemical concept and this book maps out the paradoxes to which peace gives rise.
