Practicing Peace

In Practicing Peace, Aarie Glas offers a comparative regional perspective on conflict management and diplomacy in the Global South. Drawing on novel research methods and detailed interviews with regional practitioners, the book challenges existing scholarly claims of peace in Southeast Asia and South America. Instead, Glas argues that officials successfully manage pervasive conflict short of war in both regions. He provides an in-depth look into how diplomacy unfolds and peace is practiced within diplomatic communities, from government actors to organizational officials, as they attempt to respond to and resolve territorial disputes.
