- Title
Die Internationalen Beziehungen als Kirche, die Friedens- und Konfliktforschung als Sekte? Anmerkungen zur Disziplin.

- Abstract
Over the last ten years, Peace and Conflict Studies have experienced a certain boom in Germany, at least in terms of offered study programs. Do we see here the emergence of a new discipline? The answer put forward in this article is rather negative. In earlier decades, too, a number of rather critical IR scholars in Germany and beyond have worked in Peace and Conflict Studies, and current changes can thus be seen as a renewal of that interest. However, the scientific community in IR should notice that the interest in Peace and Conflict Studies indicates a move toward global questions in other social sciences, too. IR loses its claimed monopoly as the social science of global phenomena. But instead of turning this into new attempts of »disciplining«, the discipline should rather try to develop its internal pluralism and its social relevance.
