Peace Sciences Series
The series “Scienze per la Pace” collects essays related to research carried out in the framework of the activities promoted by CISP. The first book was published in November 2002 by “Edizioni Plus – Università di Pisa”. Since then 44 volumes have been published, almost half of which are monographic works, while the others are collective works. A total of 245 authors have participated in the construction of the series, all of them involved in various ways in the research carried out by the University of Pisa for promoting sustainable peace and conflict transformation.
The inclusion of the publications in the series is examined by an editorial board with the assistance of anonymous reviewers.
The editorial board is currently composed by Pierluigi Consorti (director), Gianluca Brunori, Fabio Fineschi, Enza Pellecchia, Alessandro Polsi, Andrea Salvini, Steve Shore, Fabio Tarini, Andrea Valdambrini.
