Can a new comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to peace studies be developed? Why is a new direction essential, and what kind of impact might it have? How can educational institutions reach across disciplines to educate students about these globally important concepts? In a pioneering cross-cultural, transnational, and multifaceted endeavor, Japanese and American scholars from various disciplines jointly explore these challenging questions by redefining the three key concepts of peace, security and kyosei. Based on academic analyses in Japan and the United States, the book offers new perspectives for interdisciplinary peace studies and stimulates a public dialogue on how to shape a safer and more peaceful future for individuals, communities, and nations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49658898972945,"sku":"GOR008404923","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50113434910993,"sku":"CIN0941920208VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50332230156561,"sku":"GOR005672995","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53267132383505,"sku":"CIN0941920208G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0941920208.jpg?v=1750850934"},{"product_id":"practice-of-love-book-teresa-de-lauretis-9780253208781","title":"The Practice of Love","description":"\" . . . a work that builds a substantial bridge between Freudian psychoanalysis and radical feminist thought, particularly on the subject of lesbianism. . . .

The Practice of Love discusses classic psychoanalytic narratives of female homosexuality, contemporary feminist writings on female sexuality, and the evolution of the original fantasies into cultural myths or public fantasies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729151303953,"sku":"NGR9780253208781","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347377656081,"sku":"CIN0253208785G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253208785.jpg?v=1752315171"},{"product_id":"figures-of-resistance-book-teresa-de-lauretis-9780252074394","title":"Figures of Resistance","description":"The changing face of feminist discourse as reflected by the career of one of its preeminent scholarsFigures of Resistance brings together the unpublished lectures and little-seen essays of internationally renowned theorist Teresa de Lauretis, spanning over twenty years of her finest work.
