IMPLEMENTING GALTUNG’S FIVEFOLD PATH: A FRAMEWORK FOR PEACE STUDIES
Keywords:
Johan Galtung’s, Peace Studies, Conflict ResolutionAbstract
This research delves into five of Johan Galtung’s fundamental approaches: the conflict triangle, conflict transformation, negative and positive peace, conflict theory, and the transcendental method in conflict mediation across different levels. Based on his perspectives, this study addresses two main questions: 1) What are the five approaches outlined by Johan Galtung? And how do these approaches contribute to the field of Peace Studies? The objectives of this research are to explore five of Johan Galtung’s theories and combine them with practical experience to define peace through social processes. This research methodology used a descriptive qualitative approach; this research instrument highlighted how Galtung’s methods can be effectively applied within the context of Peace Studies. Therefore, this research result aims to explore the perspectives of Johan Galtung, a pioneering figure in peace research who seeks to define peace through a unique blend of theoretical frameworks and practical applications within the social realm. Furthermore, theoretical viewpoints on what establishes a conflict, how to end it, and what peace means significantly impact empirical research on conflict resolution. The outcome of this research is to investigate Johan Galtung's viewpoints and define peace by combining theoretical frameworks with real-world social applications distinctively.
