4. The victors’ peace in history
View through CrossRef
‘The victors’ peace in history’ examines the notion that peace comes from a military victory and is dominated by the victor in a conflict. This is the oldest understanding of the concept of peace. It can be unjust and coercive, but it may be orderly. It may also be inherently unstable. The victor’s peace framework has many flaws. It is subject to the issue of territorial and strategic over-extension and the inability to control the conquered. History has taught us that local consent and legitimacy is necessary for any victor’s peace to be long-lasting and stable.
