Abstract

This chapter presents a theory, and summary of the contents, of peace education and education for peace—two domains of education designed to build peace and justice. The author offers examples and illustrations in respect to both educational strategies. An argument is then pursued. Here, an appeal to move to structuralist and systemic interrogation, analysis, and change is enjoined. If peace education and education for peace function only at the level of third party interventions, for example, mediation and negotiation, sufficient change necessary for conflict transformation and peace will not materialize. Lastly, an argument for the embrace and engendering of imaginative and innovative strategies is presented as necessary to effective peacebuilding and peace education.
