Handbook of Research on Promoting Peace Through Practice, Academia, and the Arts

Provides readers with an overview of proactive positive peace models and practices to counter the over emphasis on merely ending wars as a solution. Approaching peace-building through multiple vantage points and academic fields such as the humanities, arts, social sciences, and theology, this book promotes peace-building as a cooperative effort.
Academic disciplines perceive tranquility and a sense of contentment differently among themselves and therefore contribute to peace-building initiatives differently. Peace is not merely a function of education or a tool that produces amicable systems, but rather a concept that educational contributions can help societies progress to a more peaceful existence.
