1. SUBJECT IDENTIFICATION Core Subject: Peace and Conflict Studies (PCS) Disciplinary Identity: An interdisciplinary field that emerged in the mid-twentieth century, distinct from International Relations and Political Science in its normative commitment to the prevention and resolution of violent conflict. The field has evolved from early peace research through contemporary emphases on conflict transformation, positive peace, and human security. Epistemological Foundation: Peace Studies is not merely descriptive but prescriptive — it analyses conflict with the explicit aim of transforming it. Researchers "view conflict as neither inherently good nor bad and instead aim to prevent and resolve destructive conflict".
