Open seminar: Creating space for peace

Welcome to a talk on creating space for peace on the occasion of a special issue of the scientific journal Geopolitics.

Dr. Claske Dijkema from the Department of Social Work at Bern University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland) will participate in the talk, togehter with several of the authors of articles that make up the special issue of Geopolitics.

The articles in this special issue question linear and binary views of war and peace by outlining the limits of peace and war. The articles challenge established ideas, political discourses, and collective notions of the place of violence, peace, and peacebuilding.

The articles contain empirical and theoretical arguments for why studies of peace and conflict and the geographies of peace should expand their empirical focus to include contexts of non-war violence, such as military urbanism, counter-terrorism, police violence, migration, environmental struggles, and continued everyday violence and peacebuilding in various places such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Kenya, Lebanon, and Northern Ireland.
