Book excerpt: Adam Curle's pioneering work as founding Professor of Peace Studies at Bradford University was far more significant in the peace studies field than is generally understood. Even though his ideas were way ahead of his time, they have not been adequately taught and understood - partly because of the dominance of realistic approaches to political science and partly because his writings are not easily available. This book captures his core contributions in an accessible, edited form, so that the breadth of his work can be introduced to new students. One unique feature is his stimulating work on the inner spiritual and outer dimensions of peacemaking.

Book excerpt: An epidemic of violence is spreading throughout the world. There is crime and gang warfare in the cities, and large scale deadly conflict in a hundred places across the globe - from Bosnia to Liberia to Afghanistan to Cambodia to Sudan. It is hard to know whether the breeding ground of this violence is in human nature or in history, for it is so often entirely pointless, as futile for the killer as for the killed. An academic turned practical peacemaker and mediator, Adam Curle has encountered this violence in many parts of the world. He believes it derives mainly from alienation, the feeling of separation from a world made meaningless and unmanageable by the social and political consequences of two world wars and extraordinary technological development. The surge of violence, without parallel for its sheer scale, its universality and its refusal to respond to conventional policing or diplomacy, has created insoluble domestic problems for police and social services, as well as for the UN and other international agencies. But in embattled Croatia the author has worked with a group of people who have somehow immunised themselves against the prevalent fear, anger, prejudice and militarism. They live there - they are not 'outsiders' or 'advisers'. They care for the thousands of refugees, those traumatised by war, and the countless children whose only experience is of violence. By their example and practice they spread the values of compassion and non-violence, as they build the foundations of a peaceful society.

Download or read book The Idea of a Human Rights Museum written by Karen Busby and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Idea of a Human Rights Museum" is the first book to examine the formation of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and to situate the museum within the context of the international proliferation of such institutions. Sixteen essays consider the wider political, cultural and architectural contexts within which the museum physically and conceptually evolved drawing comparisons between the CMHR and institutions elsewhere in the world that emphasize human rights and social justice. This collection brings together authors from diverse fields—law, cultural studies, museum studies, sociology, history, political science, and literature—to critically assess the potentials and pitfalls of human rights education through “ideas” museums. Accessible, engaging, and informative, the collection’s essays will encourage museum-goers to think more deeply about the content of human rights exhibits. The Idea of a Human Rights Museum is the first title in the University of Manitoba Press’s Human Rights and Social Justice Series. This series publishes work that explores the quest for social justice and the basic rights and freedoms to which all human beings are entitled, including civil, political, economic, social, collective, and cultural rights.
Download or read book Introduction to Conflict Resolution written by Sara Cobb and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of conflict resolution has evolved dramatically during the relatively short duration of the discipline’s existence. Each generation of scholars has struggled with the major puzzles of their era, providing theories and solutions that meet the needs of the time, only to be pushed forward by new insights and, at times, totally upended by a changing world. This introductory course text explores the genealogy of the field of conflict resolution by examining three different epochs of the field, each one tied to the historical context and events of the day. In each of these epochs, scholars and practitioners worked to understand and address the conflicts that the world was facing, at that time. This book provides a framework that students will carry with them far into their careers, enriching their contributions and strengthening their voices. Rather than a didactic approach to the field, students will develop their critical analytical skills through an inductive inquiry. Students will broaden their vocabulary, grapple with argumentation, and develop critical reading skills.
Download or read book Gandhi s Interpreter written by Geoffrey Carnall and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horace Alexander was an English Quaker who negotiated relations between Indian nationalist leaders and the British Government in the years before the transfer of power. Alexander was Gandhi's trusted intermediary; at the same time, he enjoyed the confidence of British Conservative ministers and Labour representatives. Alexander avoided publicity so successfully that his role has almost entirely escaped the attention of historians, including his efforts to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War. This beautifully written biography relates the development of Alexander's commitment from its origins in Quaker pacifism and optimistic liberal ideology to its attempted realization of a humane and just international order. As Geoffrey Carnall demonstrates, Alexander believed in Gandhi's ideas and sought to interpret them in terms that were comprehensible to the West.
