This volume, Psychology of Peace Promotion (PDF) builds on prior volumes of peace psychology, spreading its contributions by drawing from peace research and practices from five continents – Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. The ebook discusses emerging disciplinary and inter-disciplinary theories and actions. Every chapter begins with a theoretical framework for understanding peace, followed by an analytical review of peace promotion in a specific setting, and closes with an illustration of psychological principles or theories in either a narrative format or an empirical investigation. This ebook develops and guides its readers on the epistemology of promoting and sustaining peace in diverse settings around the world.

This ebook presents relevant, leading-edge peace promotion strategies to anyone interested in promoting peace more effectively, including peace practitioners, teachers, scholars, and researchers, in addition to the general reader. It offers a number of innovative approaches, showing their applications to specific social problems, settings, and populations. Moreover, this volume has much in store for academic and practice-based scientists in peace psychology, mental health professionals, educators, administrators, and graduate students from various disciplines. The aim is to promote and sustain peace, using theoretically sound, yet creative and innovative approaches. As stated by the United Nations Secretary, “peace does not occur by happenstance.” Promoting and sustaining peace needs reflective, thoughtful, and targeted efforts. This ebook inspires its readers to develop a better understanding of peace and the means of promoting peace in a sustainable way.
