Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Conflict, Peace, and Prosperity in the Name of God," Murat Iyigun explores how longer-term developments influenced the spread of monotheistic religions and how these trends affected other societies and religions. He explores with the statistical methods of economics the way religions shaped the development of societies and framed the conflicts between and within them. Specifically, he asks why and how political power and organized religion became so swiftly and successfully intertwined, and then examines the role of religion in conflict historically, as well as the sociopolitical, demographic, and economic effects of religiously motivated conflicts." Conflict, Peace, and Prosperity in the Name of God "breaks exciting new ground in our understanding of religion and societies, and the conflicts between them."

Book Mindanao  The Long Journey To Peace And Prosperity

Download or read book Mindanao The Long Journey To Peace And Prosperity written by Hutchcroft Paul and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across more than four decades, the conflict between the national government and Muslim liberation forces in the southern Philippines has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. Two landmark agreements under the presidency of Benigno S Aquino III — the first in 2012 and the second in 2014 — raised high hopes that peace might finally be on the way. But the peace process stalled, and has yet to regain momentum, after a botched counterterrorism operation in early 2015. This volume provides both in-depth examination of the latest stage of a still-ongoing peace process as well as richly textured analysis of the historical, political, and economic context underlying one of the most enduring conflicts in the world. It is thus an extremely important foundational resource in the continuing quest for peace and prosperity in Mindanao. Contents: Introduction: The Travails of Promoting Peace and Prosperity in Mindanao (Paul D Hutchcroft)National Political Update: Can the Gains Be Sustained?

Keywords: Mindanao;Philippines;Peace;Muslim Liberation Forces;Benigno S Aquino IIIReview: Reviews of the First Edition: "This compendium of essays could not have come at a more appropriate time. For the first time in Philippine history, the new President hails from Mindanao. The administration of Rodrigo R. Duterte will certainly benefit from the analysis of the experts who have contributed to this volume, as they examine the complex factors that contributed to the 2014 Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro as well as derailed the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law. An excellent and accessible guide for better understanding both the armed conflict in Mindanao and the peace process." Amina Rasul President, Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy "All of us, stakeholders to peace in Mindanao, have invested a lot to win the peace. We have missed a lot of opportunities, but before us is a chance to deliver one final contributors to this book credibly present truths, analyses, and historical insights. It allows for informed judgment by key players, opinion makers, and the public." General Emmanuel T Bautista (Ret.) Former Chief of Staff, Armed Forces of the Philippines "With so many national and regional policymakers and pundits eager to identify links — both real and exaggerated — between Mindanao and broader regional terrorist networks, a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges for peace in the southern Philippines has never been more urgent. This collection of essays offers a welcome

Book Peace  Prosperity  and the Coming Holocaust

Download or read book Peace Prosperity and the Coming Holocaust written by Dave Hunt and published by . This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STOCK MARKET CRASH FEDERAL BANK BAILOUT NEW WORLD ORDER First volume in Dave Hunt Classic Series now available! Peace, Prosperity, and the Coming Holocaust Planet Earth is on the brink of an incredible change...but for good or evil? Will there be total economic collapse followed by nuclear holocaust? So begins the dust-jacket copy to Dave Hunts 1983 best-seller. Twenty-five years ago, this title stood unique on conservative bookshelves crowded with doom and gloom predictions for the future U.S. economy. Though the Reaganomics of President Ronald Reagan 1980-1988 withstood the test of time, the economic turnaround of the 1980s and the prosperity it generated for years to come has since been recast as a decade of greed by those in power who now seek to spread the wealth around. Now, over two decades later, the stock market crash, sub-prime mortgage crisis, and scandalous trillion-dollar bank bailout of 2008combined with the election of a liberal President with radical, socialist-revolutionary definitions of hope and changehave caused many to agree that the doom and gloom prophesies of the 1970s and 80s are now being fulfilled, and the worst may be yet to come. Once more, both rampant speculation and dire circumstance are causing a growing number of Christians and non-Christians to dust off Gods Word in search of answers to anxious questions: Are capitalism and free enterprise dead? Will a new economic world order be established prior to the reign of Antichrist? Will Marxism prevail as our next form of government? Have the outrageous conspiracy theories of the past several decades regarding the planned, subversive dismantling of U.S. sovereignty and independence in order to bring about global government been now cast asideor vindicated? Are the current geo-political and economic signs of the times indicators of the prophesied Last Days and the soon return of Jesus Christ for His church? Whats next on the prophetic calendar? In this timely reprint of Dave Hunts classic 1983 work, the author holds a remarkably steady balance between history and biblical prophecy that has withstood the test of time. The Bible declares that one-world government and universal New Age religion are coming. When we take Gods Word seriously, says noted author and cult expert Dave Hunt, a door swings open to fascinating new insights...provided only that we take into consideration certain factors that most experts on the futureboth Christian and nonchristianhave overlooked. This is no ordinary gloom-and-doom forecast, but a startling revelation of facts not commonly known. Readers will gain valuable insight for todayand tomorrowfrom this fascinating perspective Dave Hunt calls a contrary scenario.

Book To Make and Keep Peace Among Ourselves and with All Nations

Download or read book To Make and Keep Peace Among Ourselves and with All Nations written by Angelo Codevilla and published by Hoover Institution Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Angelo Codevilla asks, What is to be America’s peace? How is it to be won and preserved in our time? He notes that our government’s increasingly unlimited powers flow in part from our statesmen’s inability to stay out of wars or to win them and that our statesmen and academics have ceased to think about such things. The purpose of this book is to rekindle such thoughts. The author reestablishes early American statecraft’s understanding of peace—what it takes to make it and what it takes to keep it. He reminds Americans why our founding generation placed the pursuit of peace ahead of all other objectives; he shows how they tried to keep the peace by drawing sharp lines between America’s business and that of others, as well as between peace and war. He shows how our 20th-century statesmen confused peace and war as well as America’s affairs with that of mankind’s. The result, he shows, has been endless war abroad and spiraling strife among Americans. Codevilla provides intellectual guidelines for recovering the pursuit of peace as the guiding principle by which the American people and statesmen may navigate domestic as well as international affairs.

Download or read book Gold Peace and Prosperity written by Ron Paul and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LARGE PRINT EDITION! More at LargePrintLiberty.com The book is a quick read that covers the whole history of monetary destruction, providing information that most people have never heard or thought about. In that sense, it is the perfect conversation starter, and it could inspire more reading and activism for sound money. Author Ron Paul has been the leading champion of sound money in the Congress. He explains why sound money has meant the gold standard. The monograph is written in the clearest possible terms with the goal of explaining the basics of paper money and its effects of inflation, business cycles, and government growth. He maps out a plan to bring about a dollar that is as good as gold, one that would be protected against manipulation by government and central bankers. Part of that strategy is the minting of a new gold one but the more far-reaching plan involves a redefinition of the dollar and complete monetary competition. This monograph first appeared in 1981, and it has been in wide distribution ever since. But we've never had an edition this beautiful, this affordable, and this handy.

Book Pillars of Prosperity

Download or read book Pillars of Prosperity written by Timothy Besley and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-24 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How nations can promote peace, prosperity, and stability through cohesive political institutions "Little else is required to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism, but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice; all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things." So wrote Adam Smith a quarter of a millennium ago. Using the tools of modern political economics and combining economic theory with a bird's-eye view of the data, this book reinterprets Smith's pillars of prosperity to explain the existence of development clusters—places that tend to combine effective state institutions, the absence of political violence, and high per-capita incomes. To achieve peace, the authors stress the avoidance of repressive government and civil conflict. Easy taxes, they argue, refers not to low taxes, but a tax system with widespread compliance that collects taxes at a reasonable cost from a broad base, like income. And a tolerable administration of justice is about legal infrastructure that can support the enforcement of contracts and property rights in line with the rule of law. The authors show that countries tend to enjoy all three pillars of prosperity when they have evolved cohesive political institutions that promote common interests, guaranteeing the provision of public goods. In line with much historical research, international conflict has also been an important force behind effective states by fostering common interests. The absence of common interests and/or cohesive political institutions can explain the existence of very different development clusters in fragile states that are plagued by poverty, violence, and weak state capacity.

Book Making War and Building Peace

Download or read book Making War and Building Peace written by Michael W. Doyle and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-22 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making War and Building Peace examines how well United Nations peacekeeping missions work after civil war. Statistically analyzing all civil wars since 1945, the book compares peace processes that had UN involvement to those that didn't. Michael Doyle and Nicholas Sambanis argue that each mission must be designed to fit the conflict, with the right authority and adequate resources. UN missions can be effective by supporting new actors committed to the peace, building governing institutions, and monitoring and policing implementation of peace settlements. But the UN is not good at intervening in ongoing wars. If the conflict is controlled by spoilers or if the parties are not ready to make peace, the UN cannot play an effective enforcement role. It can, however, offer its technical expertise in multidimensional peacekeeping operations that follow enforcement missions undertaken by states or regional organizations such as NATO. Finding that UN missions are most effective in the first few years after the end of war, and that economic development is the best way to decrease the risk of new fighting in the long run, the authors also argue that the UN's role in launching development projects after civil war should be expanded.

Book Making Democratic Governance Work

Download or read book Making Democratic Governance Work written by Pippa Norris and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is democratic governance good for economic prosperity? Does it accelerate progress towards social welfare and human development? Does it generate a peace-dividend and reduce conflict at home? Within the international community, democracy and governance are widely advocated as intrinsically desirable goals. Nevertheless, alternative schools of thought dispute their consequences and the most effective strategy for achieving critical developmental objectives. This book argues that both liberal democracy and state capacity need to be strengthened to ensure effective development, within the constraints posed by structural conditions. Liberal democracy allows citizens to express their demands, hold public officials to account and rid themselves of ineffective leaders. Yet rising public demands that cannot be met by the state generate disillusionment with incumbent officeholders, the regime, or ultimately the promise of liberal democracy ideals. Thus governance capacity also plays a vital role in advancing human security, enabling states to respond effectively to citizen's demands.
