year = {2017},
note = {The obvious demand for more self-reflection in security policy raises
the issue of reflexivity of and in peace research itself. This article
recalls the reflexive potential of critical peace research, but aims
to expand it to a reflexive peace research based on its claim to
reconcile its scientific approach and its practice orientation.
Because peace research in this view is thus constantly involved in and
dealing with political conflicts, it needs a reflexive perspective to
be able to scientifically analyze these conflicts. This argument is
further illustrated by the methodological challenges of empirical
conflict analysis. The article ends with the outlook that in addition
to the critical approaches also post-colonial perspectives offer
promising links to pursue peace research as a practice-oriented,
reflexive science.},
