Encyclopedia for Peace and Security [Heiwa to Anzenhosho o Kangaeru Jiten]
Supervised by the Hiroshima Peace Institute, Hiroshima City University (Horitsu Bunka Sha, 2016)
The Encyclopedia for Peace and Security has been compiled by the Hiroshima Peace Institute, Hiroshima City University, as a part of the project commemorating the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This encyclopedia charts the interdisciplinary field of peace and security studies, an emerging discipline that is still evolving.
The ten areas covered include: 1. the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 2. armaments and nuclear weapons, 3. international politics and security, 4. international political history and the history of wars, 5. conflict theory and war theory, 6. peace movements and peace thoughts, 7. peace building, 8. law and human rights, 9. nuclear issues, 10. environment and development. Each entry is written by a leading scholar in the field. The encyclopedia is primarily written in Japanese but does contain two columns in English.
It is published in the hope that it will deepen our understanding of the changing world, and could facilitate contemplation and action for the creation of peace, and the practice of peace policy.
