Peace: Meanings, Politics, Strategies

Forcey writes in her introduction to this important new book that "More than forty years have passed since Albert Einstein prophesied unparalleled catastrophe were we not to change our modes of thinking. Learning how we should go about this is peace studies." This book explores the meanings of peace, including political approaches and strategies for better understanding and change from a wide range of ideological and philosophical perspectives. The chapters, by scholars of sociology, history, psychology, political science, and several interdisciplinary fields, pose challenging philosophical, ideological and pedagogical questions. The contributors encourage active thought about the complex interrelationship of the personal and systemic dimensions of peace.
