  Trajectories of Conflict and Peace: Jerusalem and Belfast Since 1994

  Creating peace for a city’s intimate enemies is harder than making war.\n\nThis book is about the trajectories of urban conflict and peace in the politically polarized cities of Jerusalem and Belfast since 1994 – how sometimes there has been hopeful change while at other times debilitating stasis and regression. Based on extensive research

  fieldwork

  and interviews

  Scott Bollens shows how seeking peace in these cities is shaped by the interaction of city-based actors and national elites

  and that it is not just a political process

  but a social and spatial one that takes place problematically over an extended period. He intertwines academic precision with ethnography and personal narrative to illuminate the complex political and emotional kaleidoscopes of these polarized cities. With hostility and competition among groups defined by ethnic

  religious

  and nationalistic identity on the increase across the world

  this timely investigation contributes to our understanding of today’s fractured cities and nations. \n
