She critically interrogates accepted and entrenched dualisms that prevent meaningful reconciliation, while also examining the harm of othering and the importance of recognition, inclusion and tolerance. Drawing on feminist ethics, the book develops a politics of compassion that defends justice, equality and rights and the need to restore victims' dignity. Complex issues of memory, truth, silence and redress are explored while new ideas on reconciliation and embracing difference emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany ideas challenge orthodox understandings of peace. The arguments developed here demonstrate how peacebuilding can be understood more broadly than current United Nations and orthodox usages so that women's activities in conflict and transitional societies can be valued as participating in building sustainable peace with justice. Theoretically integrating peace and conflict studies, international relations, political theory and feminist ethics, this book focuses on the lessons to be learned from best practices of peacebuilding situated around the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeacebuilding \u003c\/em\u003ewill be of particular interest to peace practitioners and to students and researchers of peace and conflict studies, international relations and gender politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisabeth Porter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041539791X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415397919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Elisabeth Porter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064912523519,"sku":"9780415397919","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8cebd77a-ba48-4e2a-ab1f-3e43824f81cd.jpg?v=1768671874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peacebuilding-elisabeth-porter-9780415397919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
