Description - New Agendas for Peace Research by Elise Boulding
Confronting a changing post-Cold War Environment - in which North-South conflicts have superseded those between East and West, and the boundaries between internal and interstate conflicts have all but disappeared - peace researchers reexamine in this book the concepts of conflict and security. In Part 1, the authors explore the old and new conflicts from European, Third World, and feminist perspectives. Part 2 examines reconceptualizations of security, critically analyzing the appropriateness of using environmental and development concepts to expand earlier formulatios of strategic security. Part 3 offers insights into creative new approaches to conflict and violence, concluding with a look at the process of replacing cultures of militarism with peace cultures. The final chapter highlights the challenges facing peace research now - in its 25th year of development as a discipline - and in the decades to come.
