Grundlagen der Friedensstudien
Dieser Workshop ist basiert auf Buch 3 in der Serie der TRANSCEND University Press,
"50 Years: 25 Intellectual Landscapes Explored" (50 Jahre, 25 intellektuelle Landschaften erforscht, eine deutsche Fassung kommt) von Johan Galtung(2008). Es gibt einen Überblick über die Stärken und Schwächen verschiedener Sozialwissenschaften, und Vorschläge, was noch fehlt. 1958 gab Galtung den ersten Kurs in Konflikt- und Friedensstudien an der Columbia University in NewYork. Doch hatte er bereits 1951 beschlossen, Friedensstudien zu begründen, als er in seiner Heimat Norwegen Dienstverweigerer aus Gewissensgründen wurde.| Language | Deutsch |
