Abstract

ABSTRACT Scholarly debates about how we conceptualise, theorise and measure peace have recently intensified, yet exactly how peace scholars translate these theoretical innovations into concrete methodological tools and practices is less clear. We argue that pluralism, temporality and the role of affect are three recent focal points in current scholarly debates that aim to further our conceptual understanding of peace. Taking these theoretical developments seriously requires us to consider our methodological tools to approach each one, but these concepts also point to methodological issues on their own. This special issue aims to investigate our assumptions about peace, and how these in turn shape the way we approach the study of peace, in terms of both research design and data collection as well as in the process of writing up and disseminating findings, all departing from these three specific challenges. As such, this special issue contributes to efforts of making peace beyond the absence of war more researchable.
多元主义、暂时性与影响——和平研究的方法论挑战
最近,关于如何将和平概念化、理论化和衡量和平的学术辩论愈演愈激烈,但和平学者究竟如何将这些理论创新转化为具体的方法工具和实践却不太清楚。我们认为,多元化、暂时性和情感的作用是当前学术辩论的三个焦点,旨在进一步促进我们对和平的概念理解。认真对待这些理论的发展需要我们考虑我们的方法工具来接近每一个,但这些概念也指向自己的方法问题。本期特刊旨在调查我们对和平的假设,以及这些假设如何反过来影响我们在研究设计和数据收集以及在撰写和传播研究结果的过程中处理和平研究的方式,所有这些都脱离了这三个具体挑战。因此,本期特刊有助于使没有战争的和平更加可研究。
