Innovative Means to Promote Peace During World War I. Julia Grace Wales and Her Plan for Continuous Mediation
Master’s Degree programme in International Relations Second Cycle (D.M. 270/2004) Final Thesis Innovative Means to Promote Peace During World War I. Julia Grace Wales and Her Plan for Continuous Mediation. Supervisor Ch. Prof. Bruna Bianchi Assistant supervisor Ch. Prof. Geraldine Ludbrook Graduand Flaminia Curci Matriculation Number 860960 Academic Year 2017 / 2018 ABSTRACT At the breakout of World War I many organizations for promoting peace emerged all over the world and in the United States as well, especially after the subsequent American declaration of war in April 1917. Peace movements began to look for new means for settling the dispute, and a large contribution was offered by women. World War I gave women the chance to rise their public acknowledgment and to increase their rights through war-related activities. The International Congress of Women at The Hague held in April 1915, demonstrates the great ability of women in advocating peace activities. Among the resolutions adopted by Congress stands out the Plan for Continuous Mediation without Armistice theorized by the Canadian peace activist Julia Grace Wales (see Appendix II). This thesis intends to investigate Julia Grace Wales’ proposal for a Conference of neutral nations for continuous and independent mediation without armistice. After having explored women’s activism for peace in the United States with a deep consideration to the role of women in Canada, the focus is addressed on a brief description of Julia Grace Wales’ life in order to understand what factors led her to conceive such a plan. Through the analysis of her plan and her writings it is possible to understand that her project is not only an international arbitration towards the only purpose of welfare, but also an analysis of the conditions that led to war so as to change them for avoiding future wars. -

History of Peacemaking “Peace, If It Ever Exists, Will Not Be Based on the Fear of War, but on the Love of Peace
History of Peacemaking “Peace, if it ever exists, will not be based on the fear of war, but on the love of peace. It will not just be abstaining from war, but it will be coming to a peaceful state of mind.” Julian Brenda 20th Century French philosopher What is Peace? • An ideal of harmony and tranquility • Absence of organized violence • Referring to our spiritual life, peace is inner and communal peace • Referring to our political life, peace is an order and set of stable relationships between sovereign, equal states • Peace can also be a condition imposed by a powerful ruler, for example, Alexander’s empire was peace from above, and the Catholic Church with its “just war theory” in the Middle Ages was peace imposed by the Pope, or peace in the Tokagawa shogunate was imposed by the Shogun. Peace is closely associated with justice. Many people think peace will only come when justice prevails. “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Martin Luther King, Jr. A Brief History of Peacemaking Before the Modern Era • Primate relatives (chimps, bonobos and gorillas) in our human family tree who recognize each other, smooth over conflict, experience grief when a member of band dies, and show concern when a member is injured. Peacemaking in Hunter/Gatherer Bands and small villages Hunter/Gatherer bands are egalitarian, decisions are made by consensus among elders, people habitually cooperate, and conflict is resolved by discussion of each parties needs and wishes, intervention by elders, punishment of wrongs, and rituals of forgiveness and reconcilliation. -
