Peace and Conflict studies explore the causes, dynamics, and resolutions of conflicts at individual, community, national, and international levels.
This interdisciplinary field examines the factors that lead to violence, such as political, economic, and social inequalities, while also studying strategies to foster peace, including negotiation, mediation, and reconciliation. It emphasizes understanding both direct violence, such as wars, and structural violence, like systemic oppression. By promoting dialogue, cooperation, and conflict transformation, Peace and Conflict studies aim to build sustainable peace and prevent the recurrence of violence, contributing to a more just and harmonious global society.
