CHAPTER ONE
HISTORY, EVOLUTION AND NATURE OF PEACE AND CONFLICT STUDIES
By:
Kingsley CW Udegbunam, PhD
Email: kingsley.udegbunam@unn.edu.ng
Introduction
Peace and Conflict Studies (PCS) developed as an academic field of study in the 1940s
through to the 1960s. It evolved as a multidisciplinary enterprise in the social sciences
tradition.
Defining Peace and Conflict Studies
Three positions have emerged from the debates on what should be field of study be
called. These are those who adopt the term
Peace and Conflict Studies
; those who think
the discipline should go by the name
Conflict Resolution
; and those who argue for
Conflict Transformation
.
Notable peace scholars such as Oliver Ramsbotham, Tom Woodhouse and Hugh Miall
(2011) are persuaded that the generic term for the field should be “conflict resolution”.
They advance four reasons for their position. First, because it was the earliest term used
to define the new field. Second, because it is still the most widely used term among
analysts and practitioners. Third, because “conflict resolution” is the term most familiar
to the media and the public. Lastly, because “conflict transformation” is inherently
indeterminate unless further qualified.
In addition to the fourth reason above, it can be argued that “conflict transformation” is
too narrow a term and can be conveniently accommodated by other terms such as
“conflict resolution” or “peace and conflict studies”. However, the other three reasons
advanced by Ramsbotham, Woodhouse, and Miall are not sufficient reasons to adopt
“conflict resolution” as a generic term for the field.
Their second argument is also not very persuasive. There are as many analysts and
practitioners who use the term Peace and Conflict Studies. The third reason advanced by
Ramsbotham, Woodhouse, and Miall is that “conflict resolution” is the term most
