\"\"<\/a>ed. Johannes D. Kaminski<\/strong><\/p>\n

The utopian appeal of peace, both in a political and spiritual sense, belongs to the powerful drivers of the human imagination. Yet the rhetorics of peace are difficult to untangle from the realities of war; after all, efforts that supposedly serve a higher purpose frequently result in injustice and violence. In the present issue, an international group of scholars discusses European, American, and Chinese texts that cover a wide spectrum of imagined peace, ranging from na\u00efve enthusiasm for top-down solutions to dejected elegies for the demise of civil liberties.<\/p>\n
