Abstract

In this article, definitions of peace action, education, and research are suggested. Although there are good reasons why these various approaches to peace should be cooperative, there is some evidence to suggest that this has seldom been the case. Rapoport's concept of 'fusion' provides one way of bringing these three activities together without any need for cooperation between them According to this concept, and my generalizations from it, activists can be educators and researchers in the process of their action; educators can be activists and researchers in the process of their educational efforts; and researchers can be activists and educators in the process of their research. Some examples are provided to illustrate this concept
