Friedensforschung als »Superwissenschaft« oder Sub-Disziplin? Zum Verhältnis der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung und der Internationalen Beziehungen.

- Abstract
The ZIB-Editors note that different focal points between International Relations (IR) and Peace Research (PCR) could result in a mutual speechlessness. In opposition to that argument I state that -- at least since the early 1990s -- there are intersections as well in subject as in acting people. There are similarities in theoretical, methodological and empirical assumptions and processes. Additionally, there are several scientists who feel at home in both IR and PCR. The exclusive assumptions of the 1970s are overcome in the ongoing professionalization in both disciplines. The intersections between IR and PCR are growing more than they decrease. As side effect of this phenomenon the non-intersecting areas of both disciplines tend to become more radical.
