Abstract
Sociologists are latecomers to the study of war, peace and international security. A genuine sociological viewpoint on the peace movement means studying it as a social movement, its distribution, structure, values and capacity for effecting social change. The thesis here is that it is the broadest and strongest social movement in the present time, the counterpart of the multinational military-industrial complex and non-class based. The strong representation of some groups of the intelligentsia is in part due to an objective decline in their real living conditions. The peace movement as a whole provides the basis for a wide variety of groups struggling for social development and progress.
