Abstract
This article presents findings from a Dutch-Swedish comparative study on children's conceptions of peace and war. Interviews with 416 Dutch and Swedish girls and boys between 7 and 17 years of age were conducted. The findings show a fairly stable core content of the concept of peace and war for children of all ages. Variations according to nationality, age, and gender were mainly found in the content elements that older children added to the core content of peace. These variations are discussed within a sociocultural developmental perspective comparing Dutch and Swedish conditions for learning and developing concepts of peace and war.
