The edited volume, Bridging Peace and Sustainability Amidst Global Transformations, is now published with Springer’s World Sustainability Series. Edited by NERPS core members, Ayyoob Sharifi, Dahlia Simangan, and Shinji Kaneko, it is one of the published outcomes of the NERPS 2023 Conference in Thailand. Some of the conference participants authored the chapters in this volume.
Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers have long recognized the mutually reinforcing nature of peace and sustainability. This recognition has been reinforced by the unanimous adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. SDG 16 on Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions is seen as a catalyst for achieving all other goals. However, despite this growing awareness of the interconnectedness between peace and sustainability, there remains a need to gain a deeper understanding of the specific factors and mechanisms that foster this symbiotic relationship. It is also crucial to examine under what conditions or dynamics we can study such interplay between peace and sustainability. The chapters in this volume provide in-depth analyses of these issues, collectively contributing to bridging peace and sustainability amidst global transformations.
