Abstract
The article attempts to summarize the theories and findings on negative peace published in Journal of Peace Research 1964-1980. Following a conceptual discussion, it is divided in sections on peace through balance of power; peace through deterrence; the causes and roles of arms races; causes of wars and other forms of collective violence, and their implications; and findings on how to end wars. After these more dissociative approaches follow the sections on more associative, or at least 'positive' ones: economic sanctions; non-violent action; world peace through world law; integration and 'peace structures'; the roots and roles of socialization; and the background and role of the peace movement. There is no attempt at evaluating these approaches as against each other.
