RETHINKING PEACE AND CONFLICT STUDIES THE IMP...

This open access book discusses the impact of protracted peace processes on identities in
conflict. It is concerned with how lingering peace processes affect  in the long-term  patterns
of othering in protracted conflicts  and how this relates with enduring violence. Taking Israel
and Palestine as a case study  the book traces different representations of success and failure
of the protracted peace process  as well as its associated policies  narratives  norms and
practices  to analyze its impact on identity and its contribution to the maintenance and or
transformation of the cultural component of violence. On the one hand  drawing from an
interdisciplinary approach comprising International Relations (IR)  History and Social
Psychology  this book proposes an analytical framework for assessing the specificities of the
construction of identities in protracted conflicts. It identifies dehumanization and practices
of reconciliation in ongoing conflicts - what is called peace-less reconciliation - as the main
elements influencing processes of othering and violence in this kind of conflicts. On the other
hand  the book offers an empirical historical analysis on how the protracted peace process has
impacted identity building and representations made of the 'other' in the case of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict since the end of the 19th century to the present day.
