A contextually close reading of EU missions - using the fluid categories of telling and acting, stressing the dialogical ways of being, and taking heed of the concept of just peace as a particular guide to building peace - allows the book to tap into the specific meanings the EU has of peace, the ways in which it imagines its relationships with its varied partners, and perhaps most controversially, the way that being/becoming a global actor has been front and center of the CSDP. The analysis focuses on three core missions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo. One of the recurring themes that emerges from the empirical chapters is the significance attached to acting, and that acting per se constitutes success of a mission, without much thought given to its substance, or the outcome of the EU's engagement. Theimaginative force of this book rests on developing a set of context-sensitive analytical tools, encapsulated in the dialogical model of identity formation and the dynamic approach to analysing identity through telling and acting. Birgit Poopuu is Research Fellow at the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University, Wales. She previously studied at the University of Tartu, has published on the EU's peacebuilding and is currently working on the project The Politics of Peace and Conflict Knowledge: Syria and the Diverse Landscape of Local Knowledge/Experience. 410 0$aRethinking Peace and Conflict Studies,$x2752-857X 606 $aPeace 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aInternational organization 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aInternational Organization 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aHuman Rights 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aInternational organization. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 14$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aInternational Organization. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 676 $a327.172094 676 $a355.03354 700 $aPoopuu$b Birgit$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0913776 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369927803321 996 $aThe European Union?s Brand of Peacebuilding$92047274 997 $aUNINA
