Synopsis

Unfailingly thorough, The Quest for Peace provides a lucid analysis of the nature of war and peace. It offers a sober account of the possibilities of transcending collective violence to achieve a peace based on liberty and justice.

The interdisciplinary and international collection of contributions provide a broad perspective, covering psychological, anthropological, political, economic and sociological aspects of warfare. They look at the dynamic structural, cultural and ecological causes of collective violence.
