Expanding Resistance, Expanding Resistance Studies

Excerpt: "As Secretary General of the International Peace Research Association (IPRA), I am often asked to comment on the state of ‘the field’ of peace studies. Peace research and what is now commonly referred to as conflict (or conflict resolution) studies has always been hard to both qualify and quantify. At the very least an amalgam of sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, historians, economists, philosophers, and related social scientists, we have always committed ourselves to building connections with community activists, front-line service providers, spiritual and faith-based organizers, students and youth, and many others."
