Download or read book Educating for Peace written by Lokanath Mishra and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know that peace education helps individuals transform conflict in their own lives, understand and respect other cultures and ways of living, and treasure the Earth. Teachers of peace education encourage their students to cooperate with each other, think critically, solve problems constructively, take part in responsible decision-making, communicate clearly, and share their feelings and commitment openly. These skills and values are essential for survival in an increasingly interdependent world, where violence has become an instrument of policy. Peace education seeks to enable learners to envision a range of possibilities that could lead from a culture of war and violence to a culture of peace. One widely used method to encourage such envisioning is posing an inquiry into the characteristics of peace. Efforts are being made to educate students and teachers about non-violence and human rights via peace education programs. This book lays a foundation for students, teachers and peace educators to explore the elements necessary to create a peaceful society. Educating for Peace will help to build a peaceful, just and sustainable world for our children. Educating for Peace consists of seventeen chapters. Chapter one deals with the pro-motion of education for a peaceful society; chapter two details how to emphasise the importance of peace to children. Chapter three of this book sketches out peace education in a non-formal way, while chapter four deals with education for peace and non-violence. The following chapter clearly defines the conceptualization of peace education. Chapter six defines what exactly a culture of peace entails, while chapter seven deals with a research study on non-violence. Chapters eight and nine address pressing concerns in peace education and creating a violence-free school respectively. Chapters ten and eleven deal with the role of value education for world peace. Chapter twelve deals with pedagogical approaches and chapter thirteen defines human rights education. The remaining chapters deal with different aspects of peace education. This book is an attempt to identify and deliberate on topics that should be addressed if we are to fully establish peace education. This book is written mainly for researchers, peace educators and students.
Download or read book Creating the Culture of Peace written by Anwarul K. Chowdhury and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture of peace and non-violence is essential to human existence, development and progress. In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly adopted by consensus the norm-setting, forward-looking “Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace”. Governments, institutions, NGOs, other civil society entities and, in particular, individuals – all are encouraged therein to contribute to the global movement for the culture of peace. Related to this vision, this rich and varied dialogue discusses how the culture of peace can be achieved in the world. Based on the extensive personal and professional experiences of two high-profile thinkers and activists, they analyse the challenges unfolding at local, national and global levels and how these relate to humanity's quest for peace, human security and happiness. Although coming from very different positions – one a Buddhist philosopher, educator and leader; the other a UN diplomat renowned for his international work in peace, development and human rights – these interlocutors are united in their search for justice and better quality of life for all and their conviction that women and young people are the most effective means to achieving positive change in the world. The dialogue provides ideas on the key challenges that face our planet: poverty and deprivation, war and violence, nuclear weapons and small arms, climate change and environmental degradation, weak governance and financial crises, marginalization of women and alienation of youth and the relentless drive for materialism. They also invite us to consider how the culture of peace can be practically achieved through an individual, collective and institutional transformation. Recognizing that global citizenship, multilateralism, women's equality and value-creating education are central and inter-linked themes, this dialogue also underscores the inherent strength of spirituality, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, respect for diversity and empowerment that comes from the trials and tribulations of life.

Book excerpt: This profound guidebook reframes and expands the mission of building a global culture of peace. Going far beyond conventional techniques of conflict resolution, James O’Dea provides a holistic approach to peace work, covering its oft-ignored cultural, spiritual, and scientific dimensions while providing guidance suitable even for those who have never considered themselves peacebuilders. O’Dea is unique in his ability to integrate personal experience in the world’s violent conflict zones with insights gathered from decades of work in social healing, human rights advocacy, and consciousness studies. Following in the footsteps of Gandhi and King, O’Dea keeps the dream of peace alive by teaching us how to dissolve old wounds and reconcile our differences. He strikes deep chords of optimism even as he shows us how to face the heart of darkness in conflict situations. His soulful but practical voice speaks universally to peace activists, mediators, negotiators, psychologists, educators, businesspeople, and clergy—and to everyday citizens.
Download or read book Making Peace written by Ambassador Oleg Grinevsky and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fascinating description of a decisive East-West conference which opened the road to detente and disarmament. It is written by a leading Soviet diplomat with a lot of insight into the Soviet hierarchy and a very experienced American military diplomat who was able to convince the Pentagon. It offers a brilliant insight into the dramatic change in the Soviet Union when Gorbachev took over and opened the doors to a new era. - Ambassador Dr. Klaus J. Citron head of Bonn's delegation to the Stockholm Conference In 1986, the first West-East agreement establishing the right for reciprocal on-site inspections was reached in Stockholm. Making Peace: Confidence and Security in a New Europe is an insider's account of how that agreement was negotiated within the framework of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE). The book provides the first detailed account of talks in Madrid, which started in fall of 1979 and ended September 1983 resulting in the mandate for the Stockholm negotiations, lasting from January 1984 until September 1986. U. S. Ambassador Lynn Marvin Hansen and Ambassador Oleg Grinevsky, who was the head of the Soviet Delegation to the CSCE, detail how each country perceived the negotiations. Diplomats representing the sixteen countries of NATO and the nine members of the (now defunct) Warsaw Treaty Organization as well as all the neutral and non-aligned nations of Europe were involved. Grinevsky is the main character in the prolonged and difficult negotiations. Hansen is the principle U.S. military negotiator. Germany's Ambassador Klaus Citron also played a significant role because of the importance of an agreement to Germany's future. Author Bio: After the success of the Stockholm Conference, Ambassadors Grinevsky and Hansen found a way to overcome the distance between them to write Making Peace. Both authors later participated in the Vienna negotiations on reducing conventional armed forces in Europe (CFE). Grinevsky then served as Russian Ambassador to Sweden. Hansen retired from the government in 2001. He has been married to his wife, Faith, for over 49 years.

Book excerpt: "Those who viewed military families as representatives of their nation believed that they could project a friendlier, more humane side of the United States' campaign for dominance in the Cold War and were essential to the ideological battle against communism.

Download or read book Winning the Peace written by Andrew Carr and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winning the Peace seeks to explore and explain how Australian governments, during the modern period of Australia's engagement with Asia (from 1983 till today), have attempted to use their defence and foreign policies to shape the region. While there were certainly times of tension during this period, such as the spikes around the end of the Cold War and during the early years of the War on Terror, the region has been largely defined by peace. Because of this peace and thanks to Australia's relative size as a 'middle power', the government's attempt to change how other states act and think was not sought through the deployment or use of force but through military and diplomatic engagement and persuasion. Australia's smaller size also meant it had to be strategic in its efforts. It had to determine which changes were priorities, it had to re-organise and develop its resources, it had to deploy them effectively and efficiently, and it had to be able to sustain the effort in the face of competition and rejection. This book focuses on the three main 'campaigns' the Australian government has undertaken since the early 1980s to reshape the Asia-Pacific in pursuit of its national interests.
