There are many definitiions and interpretation of peace.  To set the scene for this journal, peace can be: 

  • Peace is a state of harmony, the absence of hostility.

  • Peace in an international context, is a cessation of violent conflict- the opposite of war.

  • Peace can describe a relationship between parties characterized by respect, justice, and goodwill.

  • Peace can pertain to an individual’s sense of self, as to be “at peace” indicates serenity, calm, and equilibrium.

  • Peace can relate to an individual environment, as peaceful can describe calm, serenity, and silence.

From an historical perspective, war and violence have developed as consistent features of human society. Perhaps an increasing desire for peace is now emerging as a evolution in human interrelations.

This blog aims to collect and share various resources surrounding notions of ‘ peace’ and therefore will include :

  • Personal Perspectives
