Abstract

The book has arisen out of a collaborative project undertaken by the
International Christian University in Tokyo and Washington State University
in Pullman and sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Education and
Science, 21st century Center of Excellence Program. Undertaken in a
multidisciplinary approach, it consists of 12 articles that explore the topic of
peace from viewpoints as diverse as the philosophical or theological on the
one hand, and the practical and strategic, on the other. It is a study that
makes a much-needed contribution to contemporary peace studies in
meeting the challenge set before it by the growing complexity of both the
nature of and the actors involved in issues concerning peace, violence and
conflict in the 21st century.
