Why does critical political geography struggle to address, and research, peace? Recent efforts in geography do seek positive accounts of peace, but we argue that critical geographies remain problematically reliant on social agonism. Dominant theoretical lenses used to address critical politics reproduce dissension as the causal grammar of critical sociality and the constitutive effect of difference. We seek an alternative account of peace and sociality. The first half of the paper diagnoses how prevailing conceptual approaches to critique privilege agonism. The second half advances a positive account of peace, without losing the critical tenor of post-foundationalist or relational political insights.
This is the fourth in a series of biannual insights reports on the adoption of impact bond models globally. For this edition, we present a special section on education projects. This report is intended to be accessible and useful to researchers, practitioners and any other person with an interest in the state of-the-art of social impact bond projects. It also aims at providing a better understanding of the latest developments of the impact bond ecosystem and where the new trends are emerging.
