From imperfect peace to the pacifist agency

Abstract

RESUMEN The aim of the study is to contribute, from the dual perspective of imperfect peace and epistemological turmoil, to critically reviewing the concept of power as a basis for the pacifist agency. Originality: this work focuses, for the first time, on the agency as a possibility for peace to occupy more and more personal, public and political space. Method: it is a qualitative research work that, from a complex perspective, builds on the concept of imperfect peace and the epistemological turn, using the strategies of critical analysis of peace-related research texts and writing on the concept of power, in particular Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault, Michael Mann, Kenneth Boulding and John Holloway, among others. This dialogue allows us to conclude that power can also be seen as the capacity that we all have to act in a coordinated manner to promote the development of desirable human capacities. Understood in this way, power generates peace, which must occupy the largest personal, public and political space. Against this background, this capillary extension of peace should not be seen only as a measure of peace empowerment, but as a consequence of the pacifist agency.
