Abstract

AbstractA culture of peace is usually contrasted with the culture of war that pervades so much of modern society. However, there are three different referents for the term. It may be used to refer to (1) the cultures of peoples who do not engage in warfare, murder, rape, and other forms of physical violence, or (2) the ideal of a global culture of peace that can replace the current system of domination with a culture of cooperation for sustainable development, or (3) the culture of peace that actually exists within current societies, a culture encouraging people to transform those aspects that reflect a culture of war. Each of these referents is discussed below.
