    A front page Initiative Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis W: https://jtpp.uk In January 2019, Frontpage launches the Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis (JTPP), a peer-reviewed, biannual, scholarly journal, both in print and online versions, bringing together peace practitioners with academics to explore radical responses to social conflict, war and injustice. Vision JTPP aspires to publish well-reasoned and thought provoking single and co-au- thored works that integrate cutting edge research and practice on subjects relat- ed to human social flourishing and peace in local, national, and international contexts. Our vision is to facilitate critical dialogue on complex social problems thereby empowering thoughtful responses to the world’s wicked problems which help guide readers towards nonviolent peaceful futures. Mission The realisation of nonviolent peaceful futures requires collaborative exploration of themes, social resources, and problems that no one field or discipline is capable of understanding alone. In creating JTPP, Frontpage Publications Limited harkens to a bygone era of pre-scientific reasoning—an era that privileges a science of collaborative social experience and qualitative analytical methods as valuable contributors to the human knowledge base. Objective JTPP fills an important transdisciplinary gap that currently exists in traditional academic journals. This gap often neglects opportunities for truly collaborative research and praxis on the complex and multi-dimensional realities of positive peace and reconciliation systems. JTPP thus provides a dynamic forum for sharing information and experiences primarily catering to academics, activists particularly in the disciplines of Peace and Conflict Studies, Political Science, International Relations, Human Rights, History and professionals, policymakers, organisations, institutions and individ- uals who nurture a firm belief in peace and human rights.

  • Additional Proposals for the Short-Term Relief of Vulnerable Workers and Populations Deeply Impacted by Strategies to Contain the Spread of the Corona Pandemic
    31 March 2020 To 1. The Honorable Prime Minister of India 2. Honorable Chief Ministers of all States Urgent: Additional Proposals for the Short-term Relief of Vulnerable Workers and Populations Deeply impacted by Strategies to Contain the Spread of the Corona Pandemic Dear Sir/Madam, As the corona pandemic and measures to contain it, unfold, we are witnessing a humanitarian and economic crisis of unprecedented proportions. The Central government has announced a Rs. 1.7 trillion package aimed at alleviation of the impact of the lockdown on the poor (PMGKY) over the next three months. It is also heartening that a number of states have announced additional measures and relief packages varying in nature and scale. While welcoming these measures, we are of the view that given the magnitude of the crisis that the country is facing, these measures will have to be scaled up with immediate and unconditional financial and other support from the national government. Therefore we appeal to the Government of India and all the State Governments to initiate urgent additional measures that are required to address critical gaps in the short-term relief measures announced so far for the impacted population. These are listed below: 1. Immediate minimum measures by governments to provide for food and subsistence requirements Cash and kind assistance, and food for the homeless and most distressed, are urgently required by the poor in the informal economy who have lost jobs and incomes. We propose the following as minimum measures: a. Cash Income Support: The stoppage of employment and incomes for those in the informal economy urgently necessitates cash income support.
