In this book, twenty-four of its researchers and associates, including Johan Galtung, Ingrid Eide, and Mari Holmboe Ruge, who founded the institute back in 1959, tell the stories of their roles in inventing and developing peace research. They reflect on their personal experiences with peace and conflict, tell what drove their peace engagement, and discuss the balance sought in the field between the cold dictates from academic rigor and the hot pursuit of peace, a desire for research to make a positive difference. Most of the chapters are interviews where one colleague interviews another. Some are self-reflective essays, while others are memorial essays written about a peace researcher who has passed away. Taken together, the book presents a lively picture of a thriving world-leading research environment and a wealth of conflicting or mutually reinforcing perspectives on war, violence, conflict, conflict management and resolution, negotiations and mediation, peacemaking, peace building, and the contested concept of peace. “The Oslo Stories is an indispensable source to the history of peace research.” Dr. Olav Njølstad, Director, Nobel Institute, Oslo 2022-05-13T12:19:50Z 2022-05-13T12:19:50Z 2022 book ONIX_20220513_9789811647178_49 9789811647178 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/54457 eng Evidence-Based Approaches to Peace and Conflict Studies application/pdf n/a 978-981-16-4717-8.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-981-16-4717-8 Springer Nature Springer Nature Singapore 10.1007/978-981-16-4717-8 10.1007/978-981-16-4717-8 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 9789811647178 Springer Nature Singapore 3 508 Singapore open access
