Galtung’s Enduring Themes: Peace, Structure, and a Scholar’s Evolution
Key Highlights
Social Sciences · Peace & Conflict Studies
This study examines the intellectual journey of Johan Galtung, the founder of peace studies. The author argues that despite an evolution from empirical academic work to more partisan writing later in his career, core themes like structural approaches to equality and a search for an improved concept of peace remained constant. For a writer and philosopher interested in sociology, spirituality, and a world citizen’s perspective, this analysis offers a powerful look at how one scholar’s personal and professional evolution shaped a field dedicated to understanding human conflict and cooperation.
