Despite good faith attempts by countless citizens, civil society, governments, and the international community, living in a sustainably peaceful community continues to be an elusive dream in much of our world. Among the challenges to sustaining peace is the fact that few scholars have studied enduringly peaceful societies, or have examined only narrow aspects of them, leaving our understanding of the necessary conditions, processes and policies fragmented, and deficient. This article provides a work-in-progress overview of a multidisciplinary, multimethod initiative, which aims to provide a holistic, evidence-based understanding of how peace can be sustained in societies. The Sustaining Peace Project, launched in 2014, uses complexity science as an integrative platform for synthesizing knowledge across disciplines, sectors and communities. This article introduces the multiple components of the project and shares preliminary findings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

怎样才能安居乐业？绘制维持和平的科学：进展报告。

尽管无数公民、民间社会、政府和国际社会做出了善意的尝试，但在我们世界的大部分地区，生活在一个可持续和平的社区中仍然是一个难以实现的梦想。维持和平面临的挑战之一是，很少有学者研究过持久和平的社会，或者只研究了其中的狭隘方面，这使我们对必要条件、过程和政策的理解支离破碎，而且不足。本文提供了一项正在进行的多学科、多方法倡议的概述，该倡议旨在就如何在社会中维持和平提供一个全面的、基于证据的理解。2014 年启动的持续和平项目将复杂性科学作为综合平台，用于综合跨学科、部门和社区的知识。本文介绍了该项目的多个组成部分并分享了初步发现。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
