Branch of social sciences concerned with the investigation of violent and nonviolent conduct and with understanding how and why conflicts develop. Peace and conflict studies comprise an array of other academic disciplines, including politics, international relations, sociology, anthropology and economics. The discipline also aims to define what is meant by peace. Peace and Conflict Studies are both analytical and normative, in that actions can be classed as good or bad based on their conformity with the ideal, i.e. peace.
