Greetings Scholars,
We are inviting original research articles, theoretical papers, and case studies that engage with the intersections of precarity, peacebuilding, social movements, and policy interventions for the Journal Special Issue Articles: "Precarity and Peacebuilding: Sociological Insights into Global Challenges and Local Responses."
It is a Special Issue with International Review of Sociology Taylor & Francis Group
The concept of precarity, primarily examined within the economic and labor domains, symbolizes the instability and vulnerability faced by individuals and communities across various societal dimensions. This special issue aims to reframe precarity within the sociological discourse of peacebuilding, exploring how precarity not only influences but also intersects with efforts to build peace in regions marred by conflict and instability. It aims to extend the conversation beyond economic conditions to include cultural, political, and social factors contributing to precarity and impacting peacebuilding processes. The issue is motivated by an understanding that precarity transcends geographical and cultural boundaries, presenting a global challenge that requires sociological insight and innovative policy responses.
This special issue calls for submissions that unpack the complex dynamics of conflict, peace, and instability through a sociological lens. It will examine existing policies and social movements, identify best practices, and explore innovative approaches to peacebuilding to make recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and civil society actors working in conflict-affected areas. These recommendations may include policy reforms, grassroots initiatives, community-based interventions, and advocacy campaigns to address the root causes of conflict, promote dialogue and reconciliation, and build sustainable peace from the ground up. This issue aims to contribute to positive social change, enhance resilience, and promote peace and stability in precarious contexts worldwide by situating the discussion within varied geopolitical contexts- from armed conflicts and political violence to economic crises and social unrest.
