Presented “Reframing the Ontology of Peace Studies” at O.P. Jindal Global University under the International Social Ontology Society.
The Institute presented “Reframing the Ontology of Peace Studies” at O.P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat, India. The workshop brought together scholars, practitioners, and policy experts to rethink how peace is defined.
Peace should be understood ontologically, as a substantive social condition defined by what it is, rather than merely by the absence of violence.
The paper proposes a framework for understanding peace not merely as the absence of violence but as a dynamic, sustainable social condition. Discussion focused on where current definitions of peace create blind spots in policy and practice, and on sharper alternatives that could improve both measurement and advocacy.
