Abstract

This chapter conceptualises the counter-peace in three important ways: firstly, it defines the concept and outlines its uses. Secondly, it briefly introduces its emerging patterns, which will be further elaborated in Chapters 4 – 6. Moreover, it offers a macropolitical analysis of the modus operandi of the counter-peace. This in turn provides the reader with a more concrete understanding of what this concept contribution to the analysis of contemporary conflicts. This chapter builds on the understanding of the international peace architecture previously presented and explains how the counter-peace has benefitted from the IPA’s flaws and internal contradictions.
