As states have been freed from the constraints that were imposed by the Cold War, the search for peace has become an increasingly prominent guiding principle in international politics.     These links will take you to some things I have written about the politics of peace in Northern Ireland and around the world, addressing the question of how the search for peace ought to be conducted.     I have a Masters Degree in Peace and Conflict Studies and have worked on a peace building project in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
