The Oxford Handbook of Peace History offers a comprehensive analysis of peace history from ancient times to the present day. With contributions from an international roster of scholars, the Handbook provides researchers, students, and instructors a timely examination of the global dimensions of peace work. Organized around six major sections - three chronological and three thematic - the Handbook explores concepts such as peace activism, internationalism, social justice, and cultures of nonviolence as transformative ideas and policy practices.
