Thousands of organisations work for peace around the world. They all use the word "peace" but often mean very different things. That makes it hard to work together, measure progress, or learn from each other. We study this problem and look for what every idea of peace has in common.
When every organisation measures peace differently, it is hard to compare results or see whether investments are paying off. A shared understanding of peace could change that.
Your work matters. But without shared language, it can be hard to explain how it fits into the bigger picture or connects to what others are doing.
International bodies keep returning to the same basic questions about what peace actually requires. Shared foundations could save time and make agreements stronger.
The research is published. The networks are active. Everything is designed to support your existing work, not replace it.
Three things that every idea of peace seems to share. A simple framework that helps different approaches understand each other.
