Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Foreword The UNESCO constitution, written in 1945, states, “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed.” This is an appeal for peace psychology. It is a call to understand the values, philoso- phies, and competencies needed to build and maintain intrapersonal, interpersonal, intergroup, and international peace. -
Female Patriotism in the Great War
Female Patriotism in the Great War Professor Nicoletta F. Gullace, University of New Hampshire But the educated man’s sister – what does “patriotism” mean to her? – Virginia Woolf, Three Guineas (1938) While Virginia Woolf felt that “the educated man’s sister” lacked entirely his reasons for “being proud of England, for loving England, for defending England,” she had little choice but to concede that during World War I, such women threw themselves into the war effort with astonishing patriotic fervour. How, Woolf asked, can we explain “that amazing outburst in August 1914, when the daughters of educated men ... rushed into hospitals, some still attended by their maids, drove lorries, worked in fields and munitions factories, and used all their immense stores of charm ... to persuade young men that to fight was heroic, and that the wounded in battle deserved all her care and all her praise? ” Her answer lies in the visceral antipathy she believed middle class women felt towards their insular domestic education. “So profound was her unconscious loathing for the education of the private house ... that she would undertake any task however menial, exercise any fascination however fatal that enabled her to escape”(Woolf, p. 39). Woolf’s estimation of the motivations of women who threw themselves into war work contained more than a grain of truth. For many middle-class women the opportunity to escape the limitations of their sex roles by engaging in war work was irresistible. Yet for many of these same women, and for the thousands of working-class women who took up war work in munitions factories, in transportation industries, and on the land, the lure of wartime wages, along with a love of country shared with their men – however undeserving “England” may have been of such affection – motivated those who undertook the myriad of activities recorded in this unique collection of documents and photographs [Volunteer Corps 1-9]. -

SIPRI Annual Lecture No. 1 hans blix Preface On 28 May 2018, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute proudly hosted the inaugural SIPRI Lecture, in the presence of His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf and Her Majesty Queen Silvia. The conceptional basis for the SIPRI Lecture recognizes oration as particularly important in light of today’s impulsive media landscape. A monograph may strug- gle to captivate a reader’s attention while short interviews may reduce nuances to soundbites. A lecture allows for the articulation of complex thoughts while directly engaging with an audience. -
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. -
Gandhian Principles and Their Relevance for World Peace
International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 8 Issue 10, October 2018, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell‟s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A Gandhian Principles and Their Relevance for World Peace Biplob Gogoi* Abstract Gandhi was a contemplative man of action seeking truth for the eradication of evil, injustice and exploitation in human relationships and public affairs. He wanted to devise ways and means which would be consistent with the principles he had laid down for himself as being the best. He was as heroic in fighting the evil and injustice in the world outside as in conquering the evil and weakness in his own mind. The means he adopted satisfied the double demand, namely, that they should be truthful and that they should be pure, moral and constructive. Thus, in a world where science and technology have put into the hand of those in possession of wealth, power and authority weapons of coercion and destruction beyond ordinary conception, Gandhi‟s weapons of satyagraha and non-violence were a boon. Though its use in an international conflict has yet to be tried, one can hazard the statement that non-alignment, moral pressure by non- aligned powers, and the economic and other sanctions which the international institutions often think of are along the line of nonviolent resistance to evil and injustice. -

WORLD PEACE THROUGH FOREIGN TRADE* LEONARD V. B. SUTTONt NDOUBTEDLY, THE Second Industrial Revolution blossomed early due to the tremendous scientific development that was a by- product of World War II. The birth of the nuclear age, when viewed in retrospect, opened for mankind not only new dangers but also new hopes for human betterment. The threats of the A bomb, and later the H bomb, have forced competing ideologies to seek peaceful means to solve disputes; and have led to a myriad of scientific dis- coveries that have benefited industry as well as raised living standards for all who can purchase the new products flooding the world's markets. This new Industrial Revolution did not reach voting age until it fathered the Space Age with all the bewildering wonderment of men in space, rockets to the moon, Mars probes, fantastic speeds, space satellites and miniaturization of products. In a more mundane perspec- tive it can be noted that Americans can now see European television programs beamed live everywhere in their vast land; and, everywhere, people today own transistor radios or other devices that have sprung from these advances. -
