Now available in print: Interpretations of Peace in History and Culture, the first English volume of the new series 'Many Peaces' written by Wolfgang Dietrich and published at Palgrave Macmillan. Spanning continents as well as disciplines, this book presents a panorama of diverse interpretations of peace in world history and culture. Dietrich takes the reader on a fascinating journey through time and space, exploring the so-called five families of peace - energetic, moral, modern, postmodern, and transrational 

* We are happy to announce that Alicia Dueck, alumna of our program, has won the publication advancement prize for Women and Gender Specific Research 2011 awarded by the University of Innsbruck. Her prize-winning thesis 'Negotiating Sexual Identites: Lesbian, Gay and Queer Perspectives on Being Mennonite' will be published in the UNESCO Chair's Masters of Peace Series.

* Now available in print: Variationen über die vielen Frieden, Band 2: Elicitive Konflikttransformation und die transrationale Wende in der Friedenspolitik, the second volume in the new trilogy by UNESCO Chairholder Wolfgang Dietrich published in the series 'Publications of the UNESCO Chair for Peace Studies at the University of Innsbruck'. It highlights the origin, teaching, art and practice of elicitive conflict transformation as it is embedded in transrational peace research and taught at the MA Program. This new book deepens the debate on the tansrational approach introduced in the first volume and presents elicitice conflict transformation as method resulting thereof. The application in teaching in connection with the challenges of current conflict work form its core concern.
