Johan Galtung, dr, dr hc
mult, a professor of peace studies, was born in 1930 in Oslo, Norway.
He is a mathematician, sociologist, political scientist and the
founder of the discipline of peace studies. He founded the
International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (1959), the world's
first academic research center focused on peace studies, as well as
the influential Journal
of Peace Research
(1964). He has helped found dozens of other peace centers around the
world.
He has served as a professor for peace studies at universities
all over the world, including Columbia (New York), Oslo, Berlin,
Belgrade, Paris, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Sichuan,
Ritsumeikan (Japan), Princeton, Hawai'i, Tromsoe, Bern, Alicante
(Spain) and dozens of others on all continents. He has taught
thousands of individuals and motivated them to dedicate their lives
to the promotion of peace and the satisfaction of basic human needs.
He has mediated in over 100 conflicts between states, nations,
religions, civilizations, communities, and persons since 1957. His
contributions to peace theory and practice include conceptualization
of peace-building, conflict mediation, reconciliation, nonviolence,
theory of structural violence, theorizing about negative vs. positive
peace, peace education and peace journalism. Prof. Galtung's unique
imprint on the study of conflict and peace stems from a combination
of systematic scientific inquiry and a Gandhian ethics of peaceful
means and harmony.
Johan Galtung has conducted a great deal of research in many
fields and made original contributions not only to peace studies but
also, among others, human rights, basic needs, development
strategies, a world economy that sustains life, macro-history, theory
of civilizations, federalism, globalization, theory of discourse,
social pathologies, deep culture, peace and religions, social science
methodology, sociology, ecology, future studies.

He is
founder (in 2000) and rector of the TRANSCEND
Peace University,
the world's first online Peace Studies University. He is also the
founder and director of TRANSCEND
International,
a global non‑profit network for Peace, Development and the
Environment, founded in 1993, with over 500 members in more than 70
countries around the world. As a testimony to his legacy, peace
studies are now taught and researched at universities across the
globe and contribute to peacemaking efforts in conflicts around the
world.
He was jailed in Norway for six months at age 24 as a
Conscientious Objector to serving in the military, after having done
12 months of civilian service, the same time as those doing military
service. He agreed to serve an extra 6 months if he could work for
peace, but that was refused. In jail he wrote his first book,
Gandhi's Political Ethics, together with his mentor, Arne Naess.
As a recipient of over a dozen honorary doctorates and
professorships and many other distinctions, including a Right
Livelihood Award (also known as Alternative Nobel Peace Prize), Johan
Galtung remains committed to the study and promotion of peace.
