Through a reflection upon the UN's limited results in the endeavour towards securing lasting peace in war-torn scenarios, Torrent critically engages with three relevant debates in contemporary peacebuilding literature, including the inclusion of 'the locals', the achievement of organisational system-wide coherence and the increasingly questioned agential condition of peacebuilding actors. Inattentive to the relational vulnerability of involved stakeholders, it is suggested that the UN seeks to secure a totalising modern distory, defined in the book as a story that undoes other stories. Whilst affirming the entangled ontogenesis of actors and processes in the conflict-affected configuration, Entangled Peace also delves into a cautionary argument about what the author refers to as entanglement fetishism, namely the celebratory, normative, deterministic and exclusionary projection of a relational world. Inspired by Alfred North Whitehead, Entangled Peace is an invitation to speculate over the peacebuilding milieu, and by extension the broader theatre of the real, as radical openness, in which events emanate from the collision of an infinite multiplicity of possible worlds"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a United Nations. 610 27 $a United Nations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530351 650 0 $a Peace-building. 650 0 $a International relations $x Philosophy. 650 7 $a International relations $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977075 650 7 $a Peace-building. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055902 776 08 $i Online version: $a Torrent, Ignasi, 1987- $t Entangled peace $d Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield, [2021] $z 9781538150771 $w (DLC) 2021020675 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010939.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4542836A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
