Margaret Jolly and Barry Hindess, editors of this collection of papers based on a symposium, introduce the collection with this article. They point to the origin of the symposium’s theme – conflict and peacemaking – in declarations of the United Nations. Then, summarizing key ideas from each paper, they organize their introduction around the following topics: the question of peace as the absence of violence and injustice; the pasts, presents, and futures of peace; and UNESCO’s role in moving the world toward a culture of peace.
