Conflict, Education and Peace in Nepal : Rebuilding Education for Peace and Development
Increasing inequalities, political movements and violent extremism across the world cause social and political instability in which education is enormously implicated.Placed firmly in this wider global context, this volume explores interactions between education and armed conflict during the ‘People’s War’ (1996 – 2006) in Nepal.Building upon theoretical concepts that deal with multifarious links between education and conflict, Tejendra Pherali provides a critical analysis of the contentious role of education in the emergence of conflict, as well as the effects of violence on education.Pherali engages with sociological and political theories to analyse the emergence and expansion of armed rebellion and discuss implications for peacebuilding and social transformation.He argues that education in Nepal played a complicit role in the conflict, primarily benefitting the traditionally privileged social groups in the society and hence, perpetuating the existing structural inequalities, which were the major causes of the rebellion.Schools, trapped in the middle of the conflict between the Maoists and the security forces, became a significant political space that facilitated critical education, providing intellectual strength to the violent rebellion.Exploring education after the conflict, the author argues that the reconstruction should adopt a ‘conflict-sensitive’ approach to deal with issues concerning educational inequity, social exclusion, and political hegemony of the privileged social groups.The volume provides invaluable insights into post-conflict opportunities and challenges for educational reforms that align with inclusive democracy, social justice and equitable development.

Feminist Peace Research : An Introduction
This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the field of gender, feminism and peace. It is based on the argument that feminist thinking is necessary to understand and analyse the core issues in peace and conflict studies and is fundamental to thinking about solutions to global problems and to promoting peaceful conflict transformation.The book centres alternative and critical approaches missing in mainstream peace research and brings forward feminist perspectives on traditional peace research topics such as militarism, peacekeeping, arms trade and the articulation of different forms of violence.It also advances critical and alternative issues and topics that traditional peace research has sidelined, including, for example, artificial intelligence, technologies and peace; trauma and memory; human–non-human species relations; art; popular culture; post-colonial and decolonial feminist perspectives; and the queering of war and peace.In sum, this textbook contributes to the visibility of these feminist critical approaches to peace research and makes them accessible to scholars and students interested in the subject. This book will be of much interest to students of peace studies, feminist theory, gender studies and International Relations.

Is peace happiness?
Peace can contribute to happiness by creating a sense of security, stability, and harmony. However, peace alone may not guarantee happiness as happiness is a complex and subjective emotion that can be influenced by various factors such as personal relationships, fulfillment, and well-being. While peace can create a conducive environment for happiness to thrive, true happiness often involves a combination of inner contentment, positive experiences, and meaningful connections.

What is the difference between positive peace and negative peace?
Positive peace refers to the presence of social justice, equality, and harmony within a society, where underlying issues are addressed and resolved. It focuses on creating a sustainable peace by promoting cooperation, understanding, and respect among individuals and communities. On the other hand, negative peace refers to the absence of direct violence or conflict, but underlying tensions and issues remain unresolved. Negative peace may be temporary and fragile, as it does not address the root causes of conflict.

Transrational Perspectives in Peace Education
This volume investigates how peace education can contribute to unfold collective and individual potentials for peace and conflict transformation.It explores how to cultivate a relational process that honours the interconnectedness of educators, students, researchers and participants in all their human faculties.This includes acknowledging not only the rational, but also the embodied, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions, in their complexity and in their ongoing, dynamic transformations. Motivated by the possibilities and challenges involved in this process, this book explores the nexus between transrational peace philosophy, elicitive approaches to conflict transformation and peace education.The first part discusses the transrational peace philosophy and locates it within a broader field of peace education, while the second part reflects on how transrational perspectives are tapped into within peace education approaches.In total, eight researchers and practitioners engage productive tensions that unfold in different geographical spaces, in the classrooms, and within and between us through embodied, affective, societal and transpersonal lenses. Transrational Perspectives in Peace Education encourages both researchers and practitioners to experiment with and engage the multifaceted potentials that are involved in transrational perspectives within peace education.This book was originally published as a special issue of Journal of Peace Education.

Children and Peace : From Research to Action
This open access book brings together discourse on children and peace from the 15th International Symposium on the Contributions of Psychology to Peace, covering issues pertinent to children and peace and approaches to making their world safer, fairer and more sustainable. The book is divided into nine sections that examine traditional themes (social construction and deconstruction of diversity, intergenerational transitions and memories of war, and multiculturalism), as well as contemporary issues such as Europe’s “migration crisis”, radicalization and violent extremism, and violence in families, schools and communities.Chapters contextualize each issue within specific social ecological frameworks in order to reflect on the multiplicity of influences that affect different outcomes and to discuss how the findings can be applied in different contexts.The volume also provides solutions and hope through its focus on youth empowerment and peacebuilding programs for children and families.This forward-thinking volume offers a multitude of views, approaches, and strategies for research and activism drawn from peace psychology scholars and United Nations researchers and practitioners. This book's multi-layered emphasis on context, structural determinants of peace and conflict, and use of research for action towards social cohesion for children and youth has not been brought together in other peace psychology literature to the same extent.Children and Peace: From Research to Action will be a useful resource for peace psychology academics and students, as well as social and developmental psychology academics and students, peace and development practitioners and activists, policy makers who need to make decisions about the matters covered in the book, child rights advocates and members of multilateral organizations such as the UN.

How can the peace treaty be assessed as a sustainable peace?
The peace treaty can be assessed as a sustainable peace by examining several key factors. Firstly, the involvement and commitment of all parties to the treaty is crucial for its sustainability. If all parties are genuinely invested in upholding the terms of the treaty, it is more likely to endure. Additionally, the inclusion of mechanisms for conflict resolution and reconciliation can contribute to the sustainability of the peace treaty. This can involve establishing a framework for addressing grievances and promoting dialogue between conflicting parties. Lastly, the support and involvement of the international community can also play a significant role in ensuring the sustainability of the peace treaty, by providing resources and assistance for its implementation and monitoring.

What are the Peace of Augsburg and the Peace of Westphalia?
The Peace of Augsburg, signed in 1555, was a treaty between the Holy Roman Empire and the Schmalkaldic League, a group of Protestant princes. It formally recognized the coexistence of Catholicism and Lutheranism within the empire, allowing each prince to choose the religion of his territory. This marked an important step towards religious tolerance and the end of religious wars in the Holy Roman Empire. The Peace of Westphalia, signed in 1648, ended the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic. It established a new political order in Europe by recognizing the independence of the Dutch Republic and Switzerland, and by granting more autonomy to the German princes. The treaty also extended the principle of religious tolerance by allowing Calvinism to be practiced alongside Catholicism and Lutheranism. The Peace of Westphalia is considered a milestone in the development of the modern state system and international law.
