Abstract

The following essay sketches some potential spaces- and problems- for emancipatory developments in peacemaking in the light of the serious constraints and blockages to the existing system that have emerged since the end of the Cold War. There are emerging and entangled advances in theoretical work in a range of connected areas: on local legitimacy; transversal networks; digital/ AI technologies; decolonialism; post-humanism; law; global justice; the arts; and sustainability. The perspectives and insights that emerge when these new developments are married with existing peacemaking, peacebuilding, and conflict resolution/ transformation tools indicate a significant rethinking of peacemaking is required.
