Conflict and peace studies

Today, peace and conflicts studies is an extremely broad and


interdisciplinary field that is studied at universities throughout
Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, Asia, and
Africa. Because it encompasses such a wide range of issues from
war and humanitarian intervention to peacebuilding and
international cooperation to sustainable development and social
justice, peace and conflict studies scholars can draw on
traditional disciplines such as history, philosophy, geography,
and political economy, the full range of the social sciences, as
well as more applied fields such as law, war studies, international
relations, human rights, development studies, policy studies, and
public administration.
Moreover, much of the research in this area comes not only
from universities and think tanks, but also from practitioners
working at the assortment of governmental and non-
governmental organizations actively engaged in policy-making,
advocacy, and on-the-ground activities around these issues.
Besides its firmly interdisciplinary character, what therefore
distinguishes peace and conflict studies from other fields of
inquiry is its strong normative commitment to resolving conflict
and promoting peace while minimizing violence and suffering and
maximizing justice. The challenge for the field today is to
continue to maintain its critical interdisciplinary perspective, while
at the same time remaining relevant to and engaged with real-
world policy and action.
