The Peace Science Society (International), or PSS(I),
encourages the development of peace analysis and conflict management. PSS(I) does not confine itself to ideas specific to peace
research, but welcomes and utilizes relevant work of the social and natural sciences. A primary concern of the Society is the
improvement of social science theory as it relates to international relations. PSS(I) facilitates acquaintance and provides a
vehicle for discussion among its members and others worldwide. It encourages and supports the publication of research, particularly
but not exclusively quantitative research. PSS(I) avoids social, religious, or national bias. It does not promote political action
or polemical discussion.
Proposals for the 2013 annual meeting of the Peace Science Society are now closed. The meeting will take place October 25-26 in Knoxville, TN, and will be hosted by the University of Tennessee. Further information about the conference and hotel accomodations will be announced later in the summer.
