The Peace Studies Research Group assumes peace studies as one of the most important lines of research within the field of critical theories in international relations. Within this framework, the research developed so far has included three main topics: a) a critical view on peacebuilding processes as elements of liberal global governance; b) newest wars, taking place in micro-territories (urban landscapes) and their crucial economic, cultural and social ingredients; c) small arms regulation, both on the demand and on the supply sides, and the connection between arms culture and gender violence.
