Peace Education

This book seeks to address several questions about the emergence, present state, and future of the field of peace education, and to ground the definition of the discipline in its origins – origins set in both formal institutions and informal movements. These origins are vital in imparting identity, and in nurturing the growth of both the academic discipline and the worldwide peace movement – a combination that can unify, fuel, and inspire dialogue among scholars, researchers, activists, educators, government leaders, and all individuals committed to creating cultures of peace throughout the world. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Peace Education.
