Johan Galtung, "Father of Peace and Conflict Studies," Dies at 93
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Norwegian sociologist Johan Galtung has died at the age of 93. He is
widely credited as the principal founder of the discipline of peace and
conflict studies. He was a past winner of the Right Livelihood Award. He
appeared on Democracy Now! numerous times.

Johan Galtung: "I look forward to the U.S., instead of intervening
militarily, starting solving conflicts. You have so many bright people
in this country, so many well-educated people. And, you see, solving
conflict, you have to talk with the other side, or the other sides."
