Peace Studies: Social Movement or Intellectual Discipline? [Abstract]

Ethics & International Affairs, Volume 4 (1990)

Kenneth W. Thompson

December 2, 1990

Introduced by a few small religious liberal-arts colleges in the 1940s, the reformist movement toward studying peace has recently gained momentum in larger academic auditoriums.
