Radical peace?
the peace programmes and transformative peace-building strategies after 1994
Audra Mitchell
pp. 73-91
There is a marked tendency to refer to Northern Ireland's "peace process". This term is contestable for several reasons. First, as I shall argue in the following chapters, the assumption that the processes used to create and implement peace interventions are inherently peaceful – or rather, non-violent – is questionable. Secondly, there is rarely a single peace process; the formal agreements and negotiations that lead to constitution-based peace agreements are in fact frameworks upon which a range of other processes are interlaced. It is these processes – in this case, of democratization, governance, development and securitization – through which peace interventions are "delivered" and, in some cases, in which peace is believed to consist.
