{"product_id":"peace-studies-in-the-chinese-century-1","title":"Peace Studies in the Chinese Century","description":"The rise of China is probably the most significant shift in the international power structure this generation. China's leaders have so far committed themselves to a 'peaceful rising' but serious tensions are inevitable in such a rapid transformation. Dialogue on peace and conflict issues at this juncture is invaluable. This volume focuses on developments in peace research in a number of key countries, and in particular introduces for the first time in English the perspectives of a number of Chinese scholars who have started to engage with peace studies agendas.  Comparisons are drawn from the UK, USA, Mexico, Japan and South Africa to provide a better understanding of the debates on a global level and the discussion among different countries. Some of the outstanding peace researchers who contribute to the volume include Andrew Rigby, Johan Galtung - who is generally considered to have founded the discipline in its current form - and Ursula Oswald.   The volume is a valuable and unique contribution to the contemporary peace research agenda and will appeal to an interdisciplinary readership in peace studies, sociology, politics, international relations, religious studies, philosophy and Asian studies.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259291324760,"sku":"9780754647942","price":112.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780754647942_da2b87d4-7b71-42b6-a28e-6b2b1f407587.jpg?v=1777773628","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/peace-studies-in-the-chinese-century-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
