Jeong Edits Two Journals
Peace and Conflict Studies, edited by Dr. Jeong, is the international journal of the Network of Peace and Conflict Studies. Its purpose is to stimulate conceptual development and understanding of peace policy issues and to serve as a forum for theoretical debates on peace building and conflict resolution and the discussion of serious policy alternatives. The majority of its editorial board members are directors or chairs of Peace and Conflict Studies Programs at prominent international education and research institutions. Members include Paul Rogers (Bradford University, U.K.), Bjoern Moeller (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Ramesh Thakur (Australian National University, Australia), Ake Bjerstedt (Lund University, Sweden), Magnus Haavelsrud (University of Tromsoe, Norway), Morris Bradley (University of Lancaster, UK), Hanna Newcombe (Peace Research Institute, Canada), Karlheinz Koppe (Information Unit Peace Research, Germany), and Robert Rubinstein (Syracuse University, U.S.). To widen its impact on public discourse, the journal is now being posted on the World Wide Web (http://www.trenton.edu/~psm/PCs/).
The journal has published articles on conflict and cooperation, peace education, human rights, indigenous development strategies, and environmental problems by Chadwick Alger, Johan Galtung, Paul Rogers, Paul Smoker, Hanna Newcombe, and other leading scholars. In the areas of global peace policies, such as the assessment of the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and reform of the world order, contributors to the journal have been by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND, based in the U.K.) and Sir Shridath Ramphal, Co-Chairperson of the Commission on Global Governance.
In its forthcoming December 1996 issue Peace and Conflict Studies will include articles on Conflict Resolution in Reconstruction and Development (Jan Oberg), Non-Offensive Defence (Bjoern Moeller), Nuclear Non-Proliferation Policies (Ramesh Thakur), Six Social Forces Contributing to Ethno-Territorial Politics (Sean Byrne, Neal Carter), Nonviolence and Peacekeeping (Michael Nagler), and the Rationale for the Illegality of Nuclear Weapons (the Mayor of Hiroshima, Japan).
