"Entangled Peace puts forth a compelling approach to the way that the UN's agency unfolds in the spaces of its interventions and how the logic of her involvement contributes to erasing and flattening the conflict realities and other agencies of these spaces. --Inanna Hamati-Ataya, Principal Research Associate at CRASSH, University of Cambridge The book offers a critical reading of peace building based on a vision of an extremely contingent 'actual reality', where human and non-human entities exist through a dense web of relations, and in which linear causality is replaced by a rhizomatic structure resulting in the multiplication of colliding possibilities (futures). The concept of 'entangled peace' is the necessary outcome of such a vision applied to the (post)conflict domain. The author, together with Bargu�s, De Almagro, and Lopez Lucia as main representatives, is part of what I would call a Spanish intelligentsia that is becoming increasingly referential in the critical peace literature for its acute and provocative analyses, stemming from a transposition of the work of postmodern and feminist thinkers, such as Whitehead, Latour, Haraway, Deleuze, and Barad, as well as insights from quantum IR, into powerful interpretative frameworks for a re-construction of the real, starting from the understanding of 'peace'. -- ""International Peacekeeping"" Entangled Peace puts forth a compelling approach to the way that the UN's agency unfolds in the spaces of its interventions and how the logic of her involvement contributes to erasing and flattening the conflict realities and other agencies of these spaces.
