Despite this variety, practitioners consider themselves members of a global profession. In this study, Catherine Goetze investigates the genesis of peacebuilding as a professional field of expertise since the 1960s, its increasing influence, and the ways it reflects global power structures. Step-by-step, Goetze describes how the peacebuilding field came into being, how it defines who belongs to it and who does not, and what kind of group culture it has generated. Using an innovative and original methodology, she investigates the motivations of individuals who become peacebuilders, their professional trajectories and networks, and the ‘good peacebuilder’ as an ideal.Configurations (Ann Arbor, Mich.).Peace-buildingSocial aspectsPolitical sciencePeace-buildingSocial aspects.Political science.303.66Goetze Catherine869795UkMaJRUBOOK9910166953003321The distinction of peace1941903UNINA
