Abstract

The subsequent chapter deals with the concept of a "culture of peace" and the psychosocial conditions that must exist for such a culture. First, the article introduces the concept of a culture of peace and examines its historical background. Subsequently, eight key components of such a culture are presented in depth; non-violence, respect for human rights, tolerance and solidarity, equality of women and men, sustainable development, democracy, free flow of information and a comprehensive education for peace Finally, the chapter turns to a discussion of psychosocial principles that play a prominent role in maintaining sustainable peace: (1) biological determinism promotes violence and social inequality; (2) reducing social inequality among individuals and between societies promotes peace; (3) violence can be prevented through conflict management and a constructive use of conflict; (4) promoting nonviolent traditions can reduce violent incidents at the interstate and intrastate level; (5) nonviolent action is a means to promote social justice; (6) increased communication and contact, especially in crisis situations, benefits peace; (7) emancipatory psychology promotes constructive social change; (8) promoting gender equality is a peacebuilding measure; and (9) prevention takes precedence over intervention. The paper ends with an appeal that psychology as a science should influence the creation of a culture of peace in accordance with the principles of the United Nations, while at the same time substantially expanding the body of knowledge of psychological peace research through new research programs.
