Abstract

With the danger of a nuclear holocaust growing and psycho-logic (Osgood) as part of structural violence preparing this suicidal folly, the situation of (critical) peace research in the Federal Republic of Germany is precarious. It is not being taken seriously by the dominant strata of society and it is unknown to the masses. Groten/Jansen see 'skilled workers' acting as interpreters to communicate the findings of critical peace research to those most affected by structural violence, the masses. In the framework of a nationwide nongovernmental network of women and men of good will it is hoped to inform the democratic masses and thus create lobbies who support those politicians who care about positive peace.
