This volume investigates the methodological and practical challenges of establishing peace research as a rigorous academic discipline capable of informing global conflict resolution. Peter Wallensteen, a prominent scholar in the field, draws upon decades of data collection and diplomatic observation to argue that systematic analysis of armed conflict is essential for effective prevention. The text synthesizes historical political models, the evolution of conflict data programs, and the specific role of academic diplomacy in international crises.
