Abstract

The article discusses the intersection of memory studies and peacebuilding, focusing on how the politics of memory impacts peace in societies transitioning from conflict. The authors use case studies from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Cyprus, Rwanda, and South Africa to illustrate their points. They introduce the concept of mnemonic formations and the SANE framework to analyze how memories of past violence influence the quality of peace in the present. The authors argue that a lasting, just peace can only be achieved when memory politics foster plurality, dignity, and inclusivity. [Extracted from the article]
