Do you think that, within the "sociology of conflict", the "sociology of peace" should have an epistemological, methodological and thematic different from that of the "sociology of war"?
I would say that to make such difference is crucial. War is a very special situation and society functions so much different than it does duing non-war situations. Of course one can and should study such differences in comparative ways, but still a society at war is a quality in itself and this needs to be respected in the ways how the society is perceived. This has vast impacts on epistemological as well as methodological issues.

The Sociology of New Wars? Assessing the Causes and Objectives of Contemporary Violent Conflicts
Hi,
It seems these two subject should be on one continuum, in the extremes of that continuum ,but they belong to one process. The end of one process signifies the beginning of the other one.
Thank you very much Eberhard and Avishag
However, I continue to see that we work with the focus on war: "Sociology of War and Violence"; "The sociology and anthropology of suffering". In the book "Sociology of war an peace" you can find a 95 per cent of content about war and militarization (http://www.bookmetrix.com/detail/book/7031749b-0dd0-4669-beae-6c33b05ed997#downloads).
Do you think that you could talk about the sociology of peace breaking the war-peace binomial? That is, without a prior war and not only working post-conflict peace processes.
Thank you again!
