Abstract

Johan Galtung (Oslo, 1930 - 2024) was one of the most influential and prolific academics in the world: his intellectual performance in the 1960s led to the birth and development of Peace and Conflict Studies. The multiple and relevant contributions made by the author were key to shape the theoretical and methodological corpus of an incipient discipline that, after fifty years of work, has become an unavoidable reference for the construction of a dignified and just world for all. Galtung's vast academic production includes more than 100 books translated into dozens of languages and more than 1000 published articles. His legacy dwells in each of us, subjects committed to peace building and nonviolent conflict transformation.
