Abstract

There is growing recognition that business activity can promote peacebuilding, yet contradictory claims have emerged about company roles in peace and conflict. The research field of business and peace has focused on this issue, as have scholars in related fields like political science, economics, law, and ethics. This has led to definitional variations, alongside unit and level of analysis differences, which generate contradictory claims that hamper future research on this critical topic. To reconcile extant research around companies and their place in peacebuilding scholarship, we undertake an organizational‐level examination of the field, cataloguing the research by scholars across disciplines through a systematic review of 215 publications. Our review maps the known ways by which businesses can engage in peacebuilding, while demonstrating how organizations exercise their agency to create heterogenous effects on peace and conflict. Our analysis highlights the need for businesses to advance peace‐positive ends across a range of activities to reduce the conflict‐causing effects of business. By showing that businesses, intentionally or not, create peace or conflict through their activities, this article issues a call to action for scholars and decision‐makers to advance knowledge concerning peacebuilding organizations.
商业、冲突与和平:系统文献综述与概念框架
越来越多的人认识到,商业活动可以促进和平建设,但关于公司在和平与冲突中的作用,却出现了相互矛盾的说法。商业与和平研究领域以及政治学、经济学、法学和伦理学等相关领域的学者都在关注这一问题。这导致了定义上的差异,以及分析单位和层次上的差异,从而产生了相互矛盾的主张,阻碍了未来对这一重要课题的研究。为了协调围绕公司及其在建设和平学术中的地位的现有研究,我们对该领域进行了组织层面的审查,通过对 215 篇出版物的系统审查,对各学科学者的研究进行了编目。我们的综述描绘了企业参与建设和平的已知方式,同时展示了组织如何发挥其作用,对和平与冲突产生不同的影响。我们的分析强调,企业需要在一系列活动中推进积极的和平目标,以减少企业的冲突影响。通过展示企业有意无意地通过其活动创造和平或冲突,本文呼吁学者和决策者采取行动,推进有关建设和平组织的知识。
