- Abstract
Peace Research and International Relations (IR) are -- with different intensity and in different forms -- closely related to each other for more than half a century. Peace Research cannot be thought of without IR, historically as well as currently. Peace Research was established in critical contrast to dominant IR approaches of the time. Many of the concepts that IR has intensively investigated since the 1990s had been raised in Peace Research earlier. The professionalization of Peace Research that can be detected since the 1990s has included the loan of research designs, exact methods and theory-building from IR. However, Peace Research and IR remain different in important respects, in particular value foundation, praxis orientation and their concepts of interdisciplinarity. Peace Research should not be understood as an academic discipline but rather combines approaches and methods from many disciplines with the goal to deliver academically sound analysis for the prevention and reduction of organized violence.
