Abstract
This chapter introduces and summarises the book. It introduces the notion and practice of everyday peace and makes the case for why the hyperlocal level is a legitimate level of analysis. It considers how the everyday peace that occurs at the very local level might be connected to other levels of peace and conflict. The chapter introduces and discusses the sources used by the book, including findings from the Everyday Peace Indicators project, a project on local perceptions of United Nations peacekeeping in Darfur, interviews from Lebanon, and memoirs and personal diaries from World Wars I and II. Three key questions that help shape the book are introduced, questions that recur throughout the book: Is everyday peace really peace? How can everyday peace deal with and confront power? Can everyday peace be scaled up?
