About this title

Synopsis

Fifty years ago, in 1958, Galtung gave the first course in Conflict and Peace Studies at Columbia University, New York. But the decision to develop pace studies was taken in 1951 when applying for status as conscientious objector in his native Norway. Since then there have been many courses, more than 100 books, and more than 1,000 articles covering many topics in conflict and peace studies. This book--a study in the philosophy of social sciences--is a report from the efforts to prepare the ground for peace studies, in five Trans is about trans-nationality, -disciplinarity and -level; Epistemes is about expanding the horizon for scientific studies; Pillars is about the basics, deep nature, culture and structure; Peace is about violence-war-conflict-peace studies and practice; Globalism is about implications for some social sciences; and then an Epilogue for social sciences in general.
