Series

The Peace Research Institute Frankfurt is to date the largest as well as the oldest peace research institute in Germany. PRIF's work is directed toward identifying the causes of violent international and internal conflicts, carrying out research into the conditions necessary for peace and spreading the concepts of peace. Within the framework of its political counseling, research results are converted into practically orientated options for action that find their way into the public debate. The contents of the PRIF Reports are in English and directed at opinion makers abroad.
