In the German-speaking academic debate, the relevance of racism as a social problem is increasingly being recognized and the various manifestations of racism are being researched and discussed in a differentiated manner.

There is also an increasing discussion within peace and conflict research about the function and social reproduction/production of racism in connection with peace and peace processes.

A reflective approach to racism and an examination of racist violence and structural and everyday racism are important prerequisites for peace education work.
