Abstract

The paper examined peace and peace building theories .peace is the absence of war. Even though, the researcher acknowledged the inadequacy of this definition, he argued that this does not satisfy the condition for understanding peace in its totality. Pacifist theory was adopted. He went on to explain that there could be peace because there is no war, and there could be war because there is no peace; He also said, peace exist independent of war and he cited the example of the position of Palestinians and the Israelis who though in war situation, are able to accept peacefully to use water from the same source. What this implies is, even though there is war between two parties over specific issues yet, there can be peace on certain bilateral matters. The researcher used both primary and secondary sources.
