Yes / What is the nature and extent of engagement within peace research with the unfolding
global environmental crisis, as captured in discourses about the ‘Anthropocene’(Bonneuil &
Fressoz, 2017; Dalby, 2015)? Is the peace research scholarly community connecting with
significant debates taking place in the earth sciences or among social and political

answers to these questions through a systematic survey and thematic analysis of publications
in key peace-related journals and book series.What is the nature and extent of engagement within peace research with the unfolding
