"Coloniality of Peace"

The coloniality of peace refers to how appeals to peace can perpetuate colonial systems of domination and control, and this analysis—published in The Virtual Encyclopaedia, a compilation of theory, research, and practice in peace and conflict studies from de- and postcolonial approaches—includes identifying, problematizing, and destabilizing this coloniality, drawing from the collaborative network Postcolonial Hierarchies in Peace and Conflict to expose its role in the modern/colonial system.
