Overview

Analysis reveals critical self-reflection and epistemic norms in peace and conflict studies textbooks, indicating the need for change.

Key Points

  • Knowledge representation in textbooks shapes epistemic boundaries and hierarchies in peace studies, and calls for a reevaluation.
  • Normativity and interdisciplinary approaches are explored through discourse theory and sociology, revealing critical insights.
  • This qualitative analysis of German peace studies texts identifies reflexivity and methodological diversity issues within training materials.
  • The findings advocate for a better alignment of critical self-reflection with knowledge practices in the field.
