The contributions gathered here are intended to highlight the role of university peace studies programs, particularly their relevance for peace education, peace research and peace work.The book is dedicated to students and teachers of Peace Studies and Development Studies at universities as well as civil society experts.

This book shows that in our interconnected world, conflicts in one area have consequences that go beyond borders, and for the environment that sustains us. In two volumes it addresses more than 140 topics, which include: socio-economic issues, cultural and political development, conflict management, sustainable development, spirituality, history, gender, philosophy and the humanities. Gathering ideas from over 140 contributors from around Africa and the world, it offers a valuable resource for academic programme developers as well as peacebuilders and development professionals at institutions of higher learning, civil society organisations and state institutions, as well as the general public.
