Panel discussion
Peace Studies are broadly understood to include the fields of Polemology, Peace and War Studies, Conflict Studies, Security Studies, Global Security Governance Studies, International Relations, International Crisis Management Studies, Peace Keeping and Diplomacy Studies. What unites all of these fields of study? Where do different Dutch universities place different emphases in their research and education into these topics? What can we learn from each other’s work?
