A concept, originally associated with Johan Galtung, that conceptualizes peace as more than just the absence of direct violence. Positive peace includes the absence of structural violence, that hinders people from realizing their full potential. It involves the coexistence of peaceful social and cultural laws, norms, and habits. Positive peace is a non-violent way of existing, with assurance of ubiquitous justice, and power-sharing at a democratic level.
