two words with the same meaning

[sseif]

Hi there


Peace and stability are used in the literature in the same meaning, and I am criticising this phenomenon, I put it in this way:

“The first straightforward problem with the previous correspondence (of stability and peace) is that it is....”

My question is that is the word “correspondence” a right choice to refer to the problem (of using two words to refer to the same meaning), and if not is there a better word?

No they aren't. Can you give some examples?

and I am criticising this phenomenon,
So would I if it were true.

You could try
- "the identification of 'peace' and 'stability'"
"Identify" here means "to make identical" or "treat as identical".
- "the lack of distinction between 'peace' and 'stability'"
- "the failure to discriminate between ... "

I think the first suggestion suits my purposes

thank you

- "the identification of 'peace' and 'stability'"

Where you associate one word with another, shouldn't it be 'the identification of peace with stability'?

You could write it that way. It might even be better in this case.
