The historic lines of development of psychological peace research (PPR) in West and East Germany from the fifties to the present are briefly outlined. In the '50s peace research was closely tied to ideology in both German states. From the late '60s to the late '70s these ties loosened. In West Germany peace research flourished somewhat, but psychological peace research continued to lead a shadowy existence. In East Germany psychological phenomena in politics became of interest, but an autonomous PPR did not yet exist. In the early '80s, activities of the peace movement sparked PPR in both Germanies. Since unification, PPR in Germany has had two central objectives, namely, the psychological analysis of global crises in general, and the study of enemy images in the framework of psychological conversion research, but these foci may shift as a result of the Gulf War
