Forty Years of Independent Peace Work

This publication is a daily space for peace‑oriented analysis in a time when most public conversation moves in the opposite direction.

For forty years, the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research (TFF) in Sweden has worked from a simple conviction: that alternatives to violence exist, and that they deserve to be articulated clearly and calmly. We adhere to the UN Charter’s Article 1 that peace shall be established by peaceful means.

Our work is carried out by about fifty Associates from different countries and professional backgrounds — researchers, mediators, diplomats, journalists, educators, and practitioners.

Here you will find reflections on themes such as conflicts and world‑order change, mediation and peace‑making, nonviolent alternatives to weapons and interventionism, and discussions of UN reform and global governance.

We publish theory and think pieces. TFF has also been engaged on the ground in places such as Yugoslavia, Georgia, Burundi, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, and we now follow China closely, including the Belt and Road Initiative and its principles of peaceful coexistence.

The writing is independent and non‑aligned. TFF is all-volunteer and financed only by citizens, not by governments, corporations, or political actors. That independence allows us to explore questions that rarely appear in mainstream research, media and politics.

Subscribers receive daily posts — articles, commentary, videos, and insights from decades of peace research. About once every ten days, we also send TFF PressInfo, a concise intro to issues and a list of the latest posts (and older relevant ones) on global affairs and peace‑related issues.

If you are looking for a space that treats peace with empirical, critical and constructive approaches, explores peaceful visions for humanity and brings you ideas and proposals instead of doom‑and‑gloom, you are welcome to read along:
