Abstract

ABSTRACT The plurality and subjectivity of peace means that transitions from war are contested – i.e. permeated by conflicts between previously warring antagonists who want to (re)order postwar society according to competing peace(s). But while there always will exist mutually excluding peace(s), such outliers do not foreclose middle grounds where multiple peace(s) can coexist. In this article, I argue that the postwar city can generate coexistence between peace(s) of varying divergence through the creativity, accommodation, and fragmentation of city spaces. These arguments are illustrated through examples from postwar Belfast, Mitrovica, and Mostar. I term this conceptualization urban peace.

和平之间的和平?城市和平与城市空间中对立者的共存

和平的多元性和主观性意味着战争的过渡是有争议的——也就是说，以前交战的对手之间的冲突渗透着，他们希望根据竞争的和平(s)来(重新)秩序战后社会。但是，尽管总是存在相互排斥的和平，但这些异常值并不排除多种和平可以共存的中间地带。在这篇文章中，我认为战后城市可以通过城市空间的创造性、适应性和碎片化来产生不同分歧的和平共存。这些论点通过战后贝尔法斯特、米特罗维察和莫斯塔尔的例子加以说明。我把这个概念称为城市和平。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
