This open-access book delves into the origins and resilience of PRIO, the world's oldest peace research institute. Twenty-four researchers and associates, including Johan Galtung, Ingrid Eide, and Mari Holmboe Ruge, who founded the institute in 1959, share their personal stories and contributions to the field of peace research. They reflect on their experiences with peace and conflict, the motivations that drove their engagement, and the delicate balance they strive to achieve between academic rigor and the urgent pursuit of peace.
The majority of the chapters feature in-depth interviews, where one colleague interviews another, providing a vibrant portrayal of a thriving research environment. Additionally, the book includes self-reflective essays and memorial essays dedicated to deceased peace researchers, adding depth and diversity to the perspectives presented.
Taken together, The Oslo Stories offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of war, violence, conflict, conflict management, negotiations, mediation, peacemaking, peace building, and the contentious concept of peace. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the evolution and impact of peace research.
Dr. Olav Njølstad, Director of the Nobel Institute in Oslo, praises The Oslo Stories as an indispensable source to the history of peace research.
