On this basis of temporalized ontology and its normative consequences, differences are drafted as a positive social and political force and as powerful capacities of transformation and change. In practical terms, this understanding is most important for our theorizing and acting upon peace, peace-building, and conflict solution. Differences now appear not as obstacle to peace and reconciliation, but as lively and constructive articulations of 'otherness' and as a positive power of transformation, emancipation, and change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students of international relations, philosophy and political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hartmut Behr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138933872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138933873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.43d","brand":"Hartmut Behr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896548090111,"sku":"9781138933873","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c735695c-3af7-45f7-ab11-cb9f0166190d.jpg?v=1721371700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-of-difference-hartmut-behr-9781138933873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
