Abstract
En su trayectoria como campo cientifico, la Peace Research o Investigacion para la Paz reconoce que definir “paz” es, de hecho, una parte fundamental de una estrategia cientifica. En ese contexto, se ha dedicado a conceptualizar paz de forma amplia, dialogica y compleja, tal como diverso y complejo es el mundo. Del mismo modo, definir violencia se convierte en una labor igualmente compleja, una vez que mas importante que llegar a una definicion o a tipologias, -pues hay, evidentemente, muchos tipos de violencia- indicar dimensiones teoricamente significativas de violencia es efectivamente lo fundamental, una vez que nos puede llevar a pensar, investigar y, potencialmente, actuar ante los problemas mas graves de la humanidad. Si la peace action debe ser considerada porque es una accion contra la violencia, el mismo concepto de violencia debe ser lo suficientemente amplio para incluir las variedades mas significativas y, ademas, tambien debe ser lo suficientemente especifico para servir de base para una accion concreta. En esa perspectiva, este articulo pretende presentar una reflexion teorico conceptual sobre paz y violencia en el contexto de la perspectiva critica de los Estudios para la Paz (Peace Studies).
