July 2019 Hold the Initiative 1 hard to see how some semblance of stability can be achieved in the near future while the likes of Donald Trump (and John Bolton), PHS News Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un appear to July 2019 hold the initiative. The challenge of inducing political leaders to pursue policies Newsletter of the Peace History Society that build up peace rather than break out in www.peacehistorysociety.org war continues. These thoughts follow my recent return from a conference held to commemorate the centenary of the Paris Peace Conference, a gathering that many hoped would produce a just and lasting peace out of the ruins of the most destructive war the world had yet seen. As we know, that hope was not realized, an even more costly war followed within a generation, and many other wars and acts of mass violence have continued to afflict the world. Given that past and this present, one could be forgiven for resigning oneself to a President’s Column bleak and frustrated belief that efforts to make peace the more likely result of competing interests among the peoples and nations of the world are a futile folly of human naïveté. Yet, my own thoughts drift in the other direction, away from that pessimism. While listening over the course of four days as scholars discussed various aspects of “The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and the Challenge of a New World Order,” it struck Michael Clinton me how persistently politicians and diplomats, peace advocates, philanthropists, Dangerous events have lately been revolutionaries and reformers, labor unfolding between the United States and activists, economists, religious believers, Iran, exacerbated by a reckless and lawyers, and others advanced ideas about incoherent American foreign policy that how to achieve a peaceful world.

On the ‘War on War’ in Modern Geopolitics https://www.e-ir.info/2012/01/09/on-the-war-on-war-in-modern-geopolitics/ IDRISS J. ABERKANE, JAN 9 2012 Item urgeat ignem exstinguere in bactrianam Item urgeat pacem aedificere in bactrianam[1] Peace is a continuation of politics by other means. The unilateral projection of peace could become a potent political lever and a game changer in international relations, yet ‘peacefare’ and a ‘peace arsenal’ (including confidence- building measures and a conflict-quelling capability) have seldom been looked into. This essay acknowledges there is a deep-rooted ‘law of the instrument’ in international relations, meaning an over-reliance on familiar tools. As Abraham Maslow has said, “It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.”[2] We argue that because stakeholders of international relations do not have peacefare as a tool, this has brought them to an almost religious over-reliance on war. Furthermore, this essay suggests the advent of a ‘war on war’—a global war effort solely directed against war as a reified enemy of mankind. Ascendancy is usually gained in a through domination or bargaining, the first two steps in Galtung’s typology of conflict resolution.

  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • Exercises Final Edit
    _______________________________________________________ THE SIMPLICITY EXERCISES A SOURCEBOOK FOR SIMPLICITY EDUCATORS Mark A Burch Simplicity Institute Report 12k, 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE ____________________ SIMPLICITY INSTITUTE PRAISE FOR THE SIMPLICITY EXERCISES: Mark Burch is the real deal—it’s evident from The Simplicity Exercises that he’s spent a lifetime integrating simple living principles into his own life, and luckily for the rest of us, has developed and honed exercises to help others do the same. Seasoned voluntary simplicity facilitators will appreciate how thorough and well-presented these activities are. In fact, the material is so well-thought out that informal educators new to simple living could use Mark’s book with confidence. If you’re ready to change your game plan or help others do so, this book ofers real transformative opportunities. C. Jones, M. Div., Adult Educator and Simple Living Enthusiast Refraining from adding to the critique of current social, economic and ecological challenges, Burch makes a notable shift towards positive social transformation, opting to share the rewards and potentials of simple living with others rather than additional criticism and analysis of contemporary problems. … The sourcebook is therefore an important and valuable resource for all educators or individuals interested in exploring simplicity further,.. Natalie Swayze, Research Associate, Centre for Indigenous Science Education, The University of Winnipeg In The Simplicity Exercises, Burch provides us with a path through that mental barrier [to transformative change] with comprehensive and well-thought-out group thought- experiments and exercises. Drawing from years of real-world experience, the book provides us a path beyond fear, critique and common despair-ridden questions about how to move forward to solve the challenges of our time.

  • The International Peace Movement 1815-1914: an Outline
    The international peace movement 1815-1914: an outline Script of an online lecture given by Guido Grünewald on 9 June 2020* I will try to give an outline of the emergence and development of an international peace movement during its first 100 years. Since English is not my mother tongue and I haven’t spoken it for a longer time I will follow a written guideline in order to finish the job in the short time I have. The first peace organisations emerged in America and in Britain. This was no coincidence; while on the European continent after the end of the Napoleonic Wars restoration took over there were evolving democracies in the anglo-Saxon countries and a kind of peace tradition as for example carried by the quakers who renounced any kind of war. For those early societies the question if a war could be defensive and therefore justified was from the beginning a thorny issue. The New York Peace Sciety founded by merchant David Low Dodge followed a fundamental pacifism rejecting all kind of wars while the Massachussets Peace Society (its founder was unitarian minister Noah Worcester) gathered both fundamental pacifists and those who accepted strictly defensive wars. With about 50 other groups both organisations merged to become the American Peace Society in 1828. The London Peace Society had an interesting top-tier approach: its leadership had to pursue a fundamental pacifist course while ordinary members were allowed to have different ideas about defensive wars. On the European continent some short-lived peace organisations emerged only later. The formation of those first societies occured under the influence of Quakers (one of the 3 historic peace churches which renounced violence) and of Christians who were convinced that war was murderous and incompatible with Christian values.

Because it involves one of our most basic bodily needs, eating could be said to be one of the most important and fundamentai matters in our daily life. One of the ways achieving a health life style, living only on vegetables, Vegetarianism, has been practiced for many years and continues today. Of course this practice contains several concerns such as health, peace, preservation of animals, religious matters, and so forth. Vegetarianism was also practiced by some Quakers in earlier days. Now they have a special pamphlet, the Friendly Vegetarian. It seems that interest in Vegetarianisrn has come to be more popular than bcfore among Quakers, I am interested in what QuakeTs think about their dieting life style, as a whole, religiously as well as spiritually. Their ways of thinking on their dieting life style is related to the idea of an ecological environment. In this I am to discusshow paper, going Quakers have advocated the natural way ef eating, and its connection with the histerical movement of vegetarianism. In addition, I invcstigated how Quakers, considering their health, have tried to continue eating well.

  • The Representation of Male and Female War Resisters of the First World War
    Representation and Resistance: The Representation of Male and Female War Resisters of the First World War Sabine Steffanie Grimshaw Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD The University of Leeds School of Languages, Cultures and Societies August 2017 1 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement © 2017 The University of Leeds and Sabine Steffanie Grimshaw The right of Sabine Steffanie Grimshaw to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by Sabine Steffanie Grimshaw in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. 2 Abstract This thesis explores press representations of male and female war resisters of the First World War during both the conflict and important points of its commemoration, with a specific focus on gender. My original contribution to knowledge is twofold. First, this thesis shows the significant ways that gendered representations of anti-war women and men responded to one another, creating a shifting depiction of the anti-war movement as a whole. The gendering of male and female resisters drew on, reinforced, and contested both pre-war and wartime conceptions of gender in a variety of ways and this thesis demonstrates how the construction of gender and resistance has implications for understanding the relationship between gender and war more broadly. The second original contribution to knowledge that this study makes is the connection between the depiction of masculinity and femininity during the conflict and the way that anti-war men and women have been included in commemorative narratives.
