Apresentação


Peacemaking and peacebuilding have political and ideological implications for international order, whether state centric and unipolar or multipolar, or post-colonial, multilateral, and civil society oriented. Peacemaking tools and underlying ideology maintain international order, indicating its viability and legitimacy partly by meeting local claims. The international peace architecture (IPA) may also be contested through counter-peace processes, which contest the nature of the state and state-society relations, with concurrent implications for ideological competition at the international level. The limitations of the current liberal-international peace architecture and the breakdown of many peace agreements, points to the need for rethinking at a time when multilateral organisations and civil society are blocked. This pits liberal democracy and liberal-international norms against authoritarian nationalism and multipolarity. Critical evaluations of international order thus rest on their capacity for peacemaking as an emancipatory practice, separate from ideological competition.
