The Agenda 2030 sets the goal of building peaceful, just societies - but how to get there? More and more socio-political questions are being addressed to academia, and this is a chance for peace research to get involved and create impact. Especially the concept of positive peace is an issue of growing interest because of the global need to find new ways of living together in increasingly diverse societies. Yet, there is no elaborated paradigm of positive peace that could serve as a reference point for interdisciplinary research and communication as well as for the communication between academia, politics and society. In order to contribute to an integrative development of positive peace, existing paradigmatic positions are examined. Because they mostly deal with ontological and axiological aspects, the transformative and the narrative paradigm are suggested as suitable supplements concerning methodology and epistemology. Furthermore, indications are given on what to consider as a researcher in interdisciplinary and normative research settings in order to meet social responsibility.
