Abbreviated description of the call:

Peace research has existed as a scientific discipline for decades. It can now be studied as a separate subject in many countries. Johan Galtung's broad concept of violence and peace in particular provided it with its academic breakthrough in the 1960s. As a result, a critical branch of peace research also developed in Germany. It is associated with names such as Dieter Senghaas and Ekkehart Krippendorff. However, the pioneering, sometimes groundbreaking works of these (and other) pioneers no longer seem so familiar to the younger generation, and the critical wheel is in danger of being reinvented. At least that was the assessment of the Working Group on Peace Research Critical of Domination of the Working Group on Peace and Conflict Research (AFK). Some of its members initiated a project that aimed to make texts by the pioneers of critical peace research accessible in a bundled form, trace controversies and clarify current relevance. The first contributions have already been published. The Friedens-Warte builds on this pool with its current thematic focus. However, it also expands the focus to include pioneers of peace research who are not explicitly associated with the critical branch of the discipline, but who nevertheless have critical potential.

Please send your topic idea or topic outline by 01.11.2020, manuscripts of 35,000 to 45,000 characters (including spaces) by 31.12.2020 to the guest editor: sabine.jaberg@t-online.de.
