Perspectives on challenges and opportunities for peace: From the philosophical to the practical.

Reviews the books, World Peace (And How We Can Achieve It) by Alex Bellamy (2019); Transformative Pacifism: Critical Theory and Practice by Andrew Fiala (2018), Emancipatory and Participatory Methodologies in Peace, Critical, and Community Psychology edited by Mohamed Seedat et al. (2016); People Power: Fighting for Peace from the First World War to the Present by Lyn Smith (2017); and Routledge Handbook of Environmental Conflict and Peacebuilding by Ashok Swain and Joakim Öjendal (2018). The range of books reviewed here highlights the scope of our collegial community’s work in peace. They further underscore the breadth of theoretical and practical approaches that can be, and are being, taken, from making a personal commitment to peace to encouraging local, regional, and global communities to further their peace efforts. Each of these texts aims to provide inspiration and foster creative approaches for those in the field of peace, including but not limited to peace psychologists.
