Important aims are: Prevention, deescalation, and solution of international conflicts; Prevention of war. Disciplines involved may include Political Sciences, Sociology, Psychology, History, Anthropology, Religious Studies, Women's Studies, and Indigenous Studies, as well as a variety of others.

The first institute in Europe especially dedicated to Peace and Conflict studies was SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) in Sweden.
