Participatory action peace research can leverage inquiry in a process that brings different parties together to learn, share, and ultimately listen to another side of an issue. Recent work in Cambodia bringing together different groups of minority girls and young women through a participatory action research design not only generated new data and analysis on intersectional issues faced by girls, but also facilitated a conduit of relationship-building that has resulted in unified advocacy and deep friendship. In the push for a more inclusive society in which minority girls are equally heard, this work is an example of how the process-side of participatory action research can foster the relationships needed to better advocate within a positive peace context and bring issues of social justice to key stakeholders through unity built on mutual understanding and new friendship.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45762253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise social justice is not always included in debates around peace and conflict. Friendship can be considered as vital for justice or to be unfair and unjust. This Special Issue on Friendship, Peace and Social Justice contributes to making the connections between three overlapping concepts that are vital for living in a functioning and sustainable society/world. Topics considered include civic friendship, virtue friendship, social friendship, friendship treaties, cultures of peace, peace activism and resistance, peace and justice movements, environmental campaigns, community building, art collectives, dialogue, facilitative listening, Ubuntu, reconciliation and healing, relationship building, the role of social media and friendship, friendship, peace and psycho-social development. It is clear that there are cyclical connections where friendship is considered to be helpful/essential for social justice/peace; social justice movements create friendships; peaceful societies need friendship relations and also allow friendship relationships to blossom. Friendship can be instrumental, altruistic, practical, idealistic, ethical and a source of peace. It can also be seen as immoral and a source of conflict. Friendships can survive or be built in conflict or might dissolve and disintegrate. Of course it is complicated. Relationships for creating peace and social justice are. Friendship though needs to be explored as a means and an end of peaceful just living.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43158434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One type of social arrangement that is especially conducive to peace are friendships, that is, relationships based on mutual trust and dependence. The market is one important but often neglected space where we can practice habits of peacefulness and develop friendships. Markets are social spaces where peaceful societies are built. Although the market is indeed a space for the economic exchange of property rights, it is also a local, national, and international space for sociality and extraeconomic conversation that crosses narrow friendship lines. Through our participation in markets, we participate in the moral strivings of both our neighbors and folks far flung, and we connect with people we might otherwise have no occasion to know.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45988252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on Chinua Achebe’s book The Trouble with Nigeria (1984) and empirical evidence from document analysis, the paper discusses how the ubiquitous ‘connection syndrome’ constitutes a breeding ground for the ‘cult of mediocrity’ in Africa. Beyond politics which serves as a main conduit, this phenomenon stems from the erosion of African values. The paper also delves into the pervasive and corrosive nature of this phenomenon and its multifaceted manifestation. Achebe’s idea of the cult of mediocrity is expanded to include contemporary dimensions and ramifications. The paper argues that the connection syndrome is a utility friendship which allows for corrupt networks and renders institutions dysfunctional. While development initiatives might be attractive, they may not produce the desired results – as currently evidenced – if the ‘connection syndrome’ is not addressed. Accordingly, the paper proposes the civic friendship as a way out.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47091203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The other-oriented emotion of trust underpinning these social bonds–social friendship–in turn, is necessary for social justice to be supported, legitimized, and furthermore demanded by society.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45176127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
