“…While this may seem an extreme claim to make, the evidence has been mounting for some time that the global domination of neo-liberal and free market oriented capitalism is leading more to violence (both direct and indirect) and explicit conflict than it is to the interdependence induced peace initially theorized by Wilsonian peace thinkers. 34 A great amount of literature has evidenced this in the past 20 years. Early influential works on the topic include Kaplan's now apocryphal description of an emerging "criminal anarchy" that would consume much of the developing world, 35 which was followed quickly by Kaldor's more nuanced description of "New Wars" motivated by "new identity politics", 36 which has, over the years, evolved to focus more on the economic motivation or modes of finance for conflict actors.…”

Toward a trans-scalar peace system: challenging complex global conflict systems

Peacebuilding

Peacebuilding scholarship has not responded adequately to critiques of peacebuilding practice. This failure results from two related problems; an implicit assumption of a dichotomous relationship between conflict and peace, and an attendant failure to appreciate the challenges posed by complex global conflict systems. Stuck debating the dynamics of specific interventions in single states, the field has failed to fully appreciate how much conflict and peace are mutually constitutive across contexts and how underlying legitimating logics driving contemporary conflict transcend borders and reach across scales. Therefore, this paper argues, we must fully accept a more nuanced, trans-national, and trans-scalar conception of how conflict and peace are interrelated within states, internationally, and globally. The goal of the paper, therefore, is to tie together disparate arguments within the field to encourage new thinking regarding peacebuilding and more a holistic conception of a trans-scalar global peace system to replace the prevailing global conflict system.
