Abstract: This article explores trends in curriculum development in peace studies over the last two decades. It isolates three different time periods and the corresponding themes that have dominated them, paying particular attention to the development of new substantive areas of interest and to the challenges that each era has faced in the implementation of peace studies. Each era of peace studies development has been stimulated by the larger sociopolitical debates of the time, yet the continuity of substantive themes and pedagogical challenges testifies that peace studies is not a teaching and research field that merely parodies the trends of the time. The article concludes with a brief statement about the importance of peace studies to university education.
