War and peace? An agenda for peace research and practice in geography
چکیده انگلیسی

In 1885, Kropotkin called for geography to be ‘a means of dissipating [hostile] prejudices’ between nations that make conflicts more likely, and ‘creating other feelings more worthy of humanity’. As a body of scholars, we have risen far more ably to the negative task of ‘dissipating’ than to the positive charge of ‘creating’: Geography is better at researching war than peace. To redress that imbalance, we need both to conceptualise more clearly what we mean by peace, and make a commitment to researching and practising it. These arguments are made with reference to the broader literature and research along the Danish/German, Israeli/Palestinian and Kyrgyz/Uzbek interfaces.


► Geography has handled the study of war with more depth and panache than the study of peace.
► This needs rectifying in order to make geography more useful.
► We must do two things: conceptualise peace, and make a commitment to it.
