Vera van H\u00fcllen was recently invited to review the new handbook \u201cPeace research, conflict research, and democracy research\u201d edited by Gertraud Diendorfer, Blanka Bellack, Anton Pelinka and Werner Wintersteiner. Her review in the European Review of International Studies (Vol. 5, Issue 2\/2018) applauds the attempt to bring together \u201cthese three distinct but interconnected research fields\u201d that are \u201cusually treated separately as distinct research programmes or (sub-) disciplines\u201d (87). The book addresses scholars, students and the politically interested public as it combines \u201cacademic excellence with social relevance\u201d (87). Vera argues that, even though most authors of the edition have a political sciences background, \u201cthe handbook succeeds in presenting a profound and concise guide to the three fields of research and makes a great contribution by pushing scholars, students, and the broader public to reflect upon their responsibility in the social sciences and in society for facing the timeless challenges of conflict, peace, and democracy.\u201d (90)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
