Beschreibung

This book, as the first exploration of suicide in Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS), illustrates the scarcity of suicide research in the discipline and argues that the leading cause of violent death worldwide is a multifaceted phenomenon that needs to be fully comprehended as a significant and often preventable form of world-wide violence. The author supplies a theoretical framework for assessing suicide as medical or instrumental, posits interdisciplinary complementarity and offers future lines of inquiry that challenge established notions of prevention. The book presents a PACS meta-theory termed ¿encounter theory¿ and supplies a suicidal peacebuilding platform via relationship. This book questions why more PACS scholars aren¿t turning their attention to suicide when more people die by suicide than ethnic, religious or ¿terroristic¿ violence combined.
