Abstract
Los conflictos violentos han sido una constante en la historia de la humanidad. Sin embargo su observación y análisis desde una perspectiva distinta al enfrentamiento – como es la propia de la resolución alternativa – es relativamente reciente y va aumentando el número de sus intervenciones. Eso hace que los estudios sobre la paz, entendida como la solución a conseguir, hayan crecido y desarrollado enormemente en los últimos tiempos. El capital conceptual y terminológico que ha supuesto este avance, lleva a tener que revisarlo con detenimiento a "n de poder conseguir tanto claridad, como operatividad. Expresiones como peace enforcement, peacekeeping, peacemaking o peacebuilding son ejemplos de lo que se pretende con esta comunicación. El objetivo a conseguir con este trabajo es la elaboración de un pequeño mapa terminológico que ayude a moverse por una disciplina en construcción, y absolutamente necesaria para la comprensión y la transformación de los conflictos abiertos en el mundo. Sin olvidar, otro objetivo más general, consistente en ir cimentando un corpus teórico más sólido para este sugerente campo de estudio.
Violent conflicts have been a constant over mankind’s history. However, their observation and study from a different perspective than confrontation – as is the alternative resolution – is relatively recent, and its interventions are constantly increasing. That has made studies about peace, understood as the desirable solution, a growing field under great development in recent times. The vast conceptual and terminological capital that this advance has provided brings the necessity of a permanent review, so it can stay clear and operational for the discipline. Expressions such as peace enforcement, peacekeeping, peacemaking or peacebuilding are examples of what this communication seeks. The target of this work is to elaborate a terminological map which provides guidance on a discipline still in construction, absolutely necessary for the understanding and transformation of open conflicts around the world. The elaboration of a broad, solid theoretical corpus on this field of study is a more general intention which is equally pursued.
