War and Peace Education.

- Abstract
When a nation declares war, it rarely takes time to define the concept. When a peace treaty is signed, governments and people assume that they know what to expect. But war and peace are in fact blurred in today's world and many times it is hard to tell when a war is declared, what would be the effect of a peace treaty and most crucially, how a nation is to prepare for either of them. The lack of conceptual clarity impedes the educational attempts to promote peace. After World War II, many educators, most of them Europeans, pioneered an effort to establish a humanistic theory and practice of peace education. Contemporary approaches to peace education incorporate a wide range of responses to a variety of forms of violence, including coping and sharing skills among peers, the need for recognition and the development of care.
