Features: Peace studies is a prominent discipline, attracting intense attention from the political sphere, academia, and various sectors of society. For a nation to achieve peaceful development and for the public to establish a harmonious society, these specific peace practices require theoretical guidance, and peace studies, as a discipline that elaborates on such theories, naturally becomes a popular field. However, this prominent discipline is actually a relatively new field, with a history of less than half a century. Tracing its origins, the establishment of the Norwegian Institute for Peace in 1959 is generally considered the milestone marking the foundation of peace studies.
