THE DEVELOPMENT OF REINHOLD NIEBUHR'S THINKING ON THE REALIST OUTLOOK IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND HIS ATTEMPT TO LINK THIS AS FAR AS POSSIBLE TO ETHICAL GOALS IN WORLD AFFAIRS IS ASSESSED IN THIS PAPER.

Peace Studies in general are associated with the concept of conflict resolution. One method of conflict resolution in Peace Studies is the concept of conflict transformation. Conflict transformation is not only aimed at stopping conflict and to change patterns of negative relations between conflicting parties, but also to change the political, social and economic structure that causes the patterns of negative relations.
