Description
The paper contributes to the burgeoning argument that there exists a relationship between peace
and development, and that this relationship is relevant for both political and economic governance.
The pursuit of stability, peace, and security is paramount for sovereign states as they are
foundational for a nation's well-being, development, and the prosperity of its citizens. Political
economy of peace examines the intricate connections between economic and political factors and
institutions, and the attainment of these essential objectives. Building on this conceptualisation,
authors problematised peace, and hypothesised that there exists a relationship between peace,
economy and politics. The paper examined this phenomenon, drawing on theoretical, conceptual
and empirical perspectives. Employing exploratory study design, the paper combined in-depth
interviews involving 10 participants with secondary data for the analysis. The analysis revealed
that peace has become a major concern due to economic, political and ethical dilemmas in most
sovereignty states, and that peace is a function of economic and political considerations.
