The Justice of Peace and Jus Post Bellum

As contemporary studies have increasingly linked jus post bellum to the concept of peace, or the law of peace, so approaches towards the idea of a 'just peace' have diverged. It is variously argued that a just peace is an elusive ideal, that it is predominantly procedural justice, and that it is marked by concession and compromise. In this volume, the third output of a major research project on Jus Post Bellum, Carsten Stahn, Jens Iverson and Jennifer Easterday bring together a team of leading experts to explore the issues surrounding a just peace. They demonstrate that a just peace is not only related to form and process, but involves substantive justice, namely a just order with common rules, just institutions and arrangements, which secure peace, procedures to maintain peace, and a sense of societal acceptance.
