Peace Studies is an inter-, multi-, or trans-disciplinary discipline. It includes methodologies and insights from most of the social sciences, many of the humanities plus the arts, law, business, science and engineering. Peace Studies at Notre Dame is particularly concerned with Strategic Peacebuilding and seeks to "understand the causes of armed conflict, develop ways to prevent and resolve war, genocide, terrorism, gross violations of human rights; and build peaceful and just systems and societies."
"World Governments harvests government reports, bulletins, budgets, datasets, speeches, and other sources from 196 countries. Importantly, it tags them by country and provides a searchable English-language summary. Although much of this content has been harvested directly from the internet, government websites are volatile. According to the sales reps, a large percentage of the documents in this database have already disappeared from the internet. Over time, World Governments will become a crucial archive tracing government policy in the 21st century. They've also added a large number of documents retroactively from the mid-20th century onward. (For example, some very interesting government reports from 1970s Ireland.) For example, here are all the database's documents from the Moroccan government. These include some reports back to two decades ago. Particularly because of the language barriers and the nature of monarchy, many of these documents would be impossible for patrons to locate on their own."

"Interwar Culture comprises runs of both prominent and lesser-known periodicals published throughout the interwar period, covering various facets of culture, entertainment, fashion, home and family life, world current affairs, class, social and welfare issues. These historically significant and visually rich magazines provide an important insight into these dynamic yet turbulent decades, as well as allowing examination of a growing media industry that both shaped and reflected society.
Including titles published across Britain, the United States, France and Australia, Interwar Culture brings these fascinating magazines together for the first time, enabling more robust, comparative and critical readings in a highly accessible digital environment."
