How did peace research as a comprehensive program start back in 1959, in Oslo? In this book Johan Galtung tells the story of what happened the first 12 years from 1958 1970, the strategies in selecting research projects, the key findings, the 60 basic implications for peace politics, and the 13 efforts to convert theory into concrete peace practice. The book comes with some dos and don'ts for discussion and possible inspiration. This is the first publication from TRANSCEND University Press Popular.
