Afghanistan, peace, war, conflict, peace discourse, discourse analysisThis paper studies the discursive construction of peace during the NATO Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan. Based on the argument that the mission in Afghanistan had a biased peace discourse, which was not based on the reduction of violence and the promotion of peace. Through a post-structuralist approach, it explores how the discourse was composed according to the Basic Paradigms of Peace. Where according to Peace Research, peace was considered the absence of violence, with the general purpose of building peace by peaceful means.
