Series: Advances in African Economic, Social and Political Development

This book advances the peace discourse as defined in UN guidelines, while also working towards the implementation of the science of peace in various educational contexts in Africa, particularly at universities. 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. They bear a great responsibility with regard to shaping the “Culture of Peace” called for by the UN, based on the foundation of peace education and peace work and in the context of an adequate peace policy. The book seeks to strengthen African pillars of lasting peace through Peace Studies. Analyzing the latest topics in Africa of universal importance, it offers a valuable reference guide for researchers and professionals grappling with the realities of nonviolence and other essential topics in Peace Studies.
