Abstract
This chapter first gives an outline of the international understanding of peace that is rooted in the Kantian concept of human dignity and has found its latest concretization in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals laid out in 2015. Thus, peace is a vison within a predominant culture of war requiring more or less drastic changes of individual mindsets that, collectively, form a culture. The second part addresses the role of a peace leader who aligns followers around the vision of peace and acts as a catalyst for the required change in viewing one's self, the other, and the world. It addresses obstacles to move towards a culture of peace that are based on the same psychological features that can be used by a peace leader to engage followers in transformative processes. It also discusses the challenges for a peace leader as a situated individual, the necessity of accepting multiculturalism, and an ethics that helps a peace leader to stay on course.
