Throughout the years, the Peace Institute has published books, reports, working papers, research articles, debate articles and method material in various fora. The Peace Institute, as a politically and religiously impartial foundation, bases its publications on factual knowledge and balanced analysis.
Printed books are often the result of research projects and can, with a few exceptions, be ordered from the peace institute. In addition to the English-language journal JASS, the report series ”Rapport från Ålands fredsinstitut – Report from the Åland Islands Peace Institute” publishes primarily Swedish-language text. Working papers concerns documentation and theorization based on the practical activities of the institute.
The Peace Institute houses a library open to the public. In the library we hold material on peace and conflict issues, minorities, autonomy, security, gender, human rights, the Åland Islands status and much more.
The library of the Peace institute is connected to the Åland library database, which allows you to search and borrow at the Peace Institute with an Ålandic library card. You can return your loans to any library on Åland.
The Peace Institute cannot, however, issue library cards.
There is the opportunity to read & research on-site, and to photocopy literature (0.20 €/ page).
The library is normally open weekdays 9 am-4 pm.
