Disaster research, conflict research, and peace research have rich and deep histories, yet they do not always fully intersect or learn from each other, even when they investigate if and how disasters lead to conflict or peace. Scholarship has tended to focus on investigating causal linkages between disaster (including those associated with climate change) and conflict, and disaster diplomacy emerged as a thread of explanatory research that investigates how and why disaster-related activities do and do not influence peace and conflict. However, definitive conclusions on the disaster-conflict-peace nexus have evaded scientific consensus, in part due to conceptual, methodological, and interpretive differences among studies. This article highlights that this nexus would benefit from a more robust engagement with each field’s foundational research that explores beyond binary and crude distinctions. Examples are concepts of destructive and constructive conflict; direct, structural, and cultural violence, and their relationships to vulnerability; negative and positive peace; and the ideals and realities of peacebuilding and conflict transformation. This article demonstrates how integrated scholarship could open up and advance new lines of questioning, with implications for developing coherent research, policy, and practice. The article concludes by offering recommendations for how to better connect disaster, conflict, and peace research.

灾难研究，冲突研究和和平研究具有丰富而深厚的历史，但即使调查灾难是否以及如何导致冲突或和平，它们也并不总是相互充分交流或相互学习。奖学金往往集中于调查灾害（包括与气候变化有关的灾害）与冲突之间的因果关系，而灾害外交作为解释性研究的一个脉络而出现，该研究调查了与灾害有关的活动如何以及为什么影响和平与冲突，而不影响和平与冲突。但是，关于灾难-冲突-和平关系的明确结论逃避了科学共识，部分原因是研究之间在概念，方法和解释上存在差异。本文着重指出，与每个领域的基础研究相比，该领域的联系更加牢固，这将超出二进制和粗略的区别。例子是破坏性和建设性冲突的概念；直接，结构和文化暴力，及其与脆弱性的关系；消极与积极和平；以及建设和平与冲突转变的理想和现实。本文展示了综合奖学金如何开辟和推进新的质疑方式，对发展连贯的研究，政策和实践具有启示意义。本文最后提出了有关如何更好地将灾难，冲突与和平研究联系起来的建议。文化暴力及其与脆弱性的关系；消极与积极和平；以及建设和平与冲突转变的理想和现实。本文展示了综合奖学金如何开辟和推进新的质疑方式，对发展连贯的研究，政策和实践具有启示意义。本文最后提出了有关如何更好地将灾难，冲突与和平研究联系起来的建议。文化暴力及其与脆弱性的关系；消极与积极和平；以及建设和平与冲突转变的理想和现实。本文展示了综合奖学金如何开辟和推进新的质疑方式，对发展连贯的研究，政策和实践具有启示意义。本文最后提出了有关如何更好地将灾难，冲突与和平研究联系起来的建议。
