This open access book brings together discourse on children and
peace from the 15th International Symposium on the Contributions of
Psychology to Peace, covering issues pertinent to children and
peace and approaches to making their world safer, fairer and more
sustainable. The book is divided into nine sections that examine
traditional themes (social construction and deconstruction of
diversity, intergenerational transitions and memories of war, and
multiculturalism), as well as contemporary issues such as Europe's
"migration crisis", radicalization and violent extremism, and
violence in families, schools and communities. Chapters
contextualize each issue within specific social ecological
frameworks in order to reflect on the multiplicity of influences
that affect different outcomes and to discuss how the findings can
be applied in different contexts. The volume also provides
solutions and hope through its focus on youth empowerment and
peacebuilding programs for children and families. This
forward-thinking volume offers a multitude of views, approaches,
and strategies for research and activism drawn from peace
psychology scholars and United Nations researchers and
practitioners. This book's multi-layered emphasis on context,
structural determinants of peace and conflict, and use of research
for action towards social cohesion for children and youth has not
been brought together in other peace psychology literature to the
same extent. Children and Peace: From Research to Action will be a
useful resource for peace psychology academics and students, as
well as social and developmental psychology academics and students,
peace and development practitioners and activists, policy makers
who need to make decisions about the matters covered in the book,
child rights advocates and members of multilateral organizations
such as the UN.
This book is a case study of the development of peace psychology in
Australia. While there is, in comparison to other countries,
relatively little overt violence, Australia the nation was founded
on the dispossession of Indigenous people, and their oppression
continues today. Peace Psychology in Australia covers the most
significant issues of peace and conflict in the country. It begins
with a review of conflict resolution practices among Australia 's
ancient Indigenous cultures and succinctly captures topics of peace
and conflict which the country has faced in the past 222 years
since British settlement. The fast population growth, thriving
multiculturalism, leadership in international affairs and
environmental isolation make Australia a microcosm for the study of
human conflicts and peace movements.
