This study explores the intricate relationship between peacebuilding and social transformation, presenting a comprehensive analysis of theoretical frameworks that drive both fields. By reimagining traditional concepts of peace, the research delves into how peacebuilding strategies can serve as catalysts for broader social change. Drawing from diverse disciplines, including political science, sociology, and international relations, this study highlights the evolving nature of peacebuilding theories and their impact on societal structures. It examines case studies from various global contexts, illustrating how peace initiatives can lead to profound transformations in communities. The study also critiques existing models, proposing innovative approaches that integrate social justice, equity, and inclusivity into peacebuilding efforts. By synthesizing theoretical insights with practical examples, this research aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on peace and social transformation, offering new pathways for achieving sustainable peace in an increasingly complex world.
