In Peace in World History, Peter N. Stearns examines the ideas of
peace that have existed throughout history, and how societies have
sought to put them into practice. Beginning with the status of
peace in early hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies, and
continuing through the present day, the narrative gives students a
clear view of the ways people across the world have understood and
striven to achieve peace throughout history. Topics covered
include: Comparison of the 'pax Romana' and 'pax Sinica' of Rome
and China Concepts of peace in Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam,
and their historical impact The place of peace in the periods of
expanding empires The emergence, starting in the 19th century, of
formal schemes to promote peace amid increasingly destructive
technologies for warfare Moving away from the view of history as a
series of military conflicts, Peace in World History offers a new
way of looking at world history by focusing on peace. Showing how
concepts of peace have evolved over time even as they have been
challenged by war and conflict, this lively and engaging narrative
enables students to consider peace as a human possibility.
