본문내용
Does the idea of ‘positive peace’ add anything to the conventional understanding of peace as the absence of war? The answer would be yes. As argued so far, the idea of positive peace does not confine its meaning to the antonym of narrow meaning of somatic violence between state actors. Positive peace is a concept which is based on complex dimensions of violence. Accordingly, the idea of positive peace opens up the possibility that conflict and peace study can be associated with other academic disciplines, such as developmental studies and social policy, because the notion of structural violence is linked with societal structures which bears and, sometimes conceals the unequal power and consequently as unequal life chances.
Another important point which differentiates positive peace from the conventional understanding of peace comes from its policy implication. For instance, egalitarian policy pursued in not only domestic politics but also international politics, it could be said, has acquired its meaning on the ground of social justice. In a similar vein, peace building process seems to be not only concerned about managing somatic violence but also building up social structures which tackles the deep underlying causes of violence.
