Multidisciplinary and intercultural, the Journal of Peace Education,

Research Association, is committed to furthering original research on
peace education, theory, curriculum, and pedagogy.  Peace education is
understood as education for the achievement of a nonviolent, ecologically
sustainable, just, and participatory society.  The journal will publish
articles which promote discussions linking theory and research with
practices in peace education in varied educational and cultural settings.
