Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States faces an increasingly turbulent world. The risk of violent conflict and other threats to international order presents a vexing dilemma: should the United States remain the principal guarantor of global peace and security with all its considerable commitments and potential pitfalls––not least new and costly military entanglements––that over time diminish its capacity and commitment to play this vital role or, alternatively, should it pull back from the world in the interests of conserving U.S. power, but at the possible cost of even greater threats emerging in the future? Paul B. Stares proposes an innovative and timely strategy—“preventive engagement”—to resolve America’s predicament. This approach entails pursuing three complementary courses of action: promoting policies known to lessen the risk of violent conflict over the long term; anticipating and averting those crises likely to lead to costly military commitments in the medium term; and managing ongoing conflicts in the short term before they escalate further and exert pressure on the United States to intervene. In each of these efforts, forging “preventive partnerships” with a variety of international actors, including the United Nations, regional organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and the business community, is essential. The need to think and act ahead that lies at the heart of a preventive engagement strategy requires the United States to become less shortsighted and reactive. Drawing on successful strategies in other areas, Preventive Engagement provides a detailed and comprehensive blueprint for the United States to shape the future and reduce the potential dangers ahead.

Book excerpt: Uri Savir has an ambitious, indispensable goal: to bring peacemaking into the 21st century. “Little in today’s world,” writes Savir, “is more progressive than modern warfare. Yet little is more archaic than peacemaking.” We remain trapped in a centuries-old mindset, with leaders bargaining warily for concessions and signing treaties that collapse because no one on the ground has any real stake in them. Drawing on his experiences negotiating the Oslo Peace Accords as well as on trenchant examples from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Northern Ireland, and the former Yugoslavia, Savir argues that an enduring peace is built from the bottom up, not from the top down. He describes a new model based on establishing and nurturing mutually beneficial forms of cooperation beginning on the local level, city-to-city and organization-to-organization. This process of “glocalization”—involving local actors in global issues—is the first step toward constructing a peace ecology: a comprehensive transnational culture dedicated to breaking down the psychological and social barriers between former enemies. These efforts are furthered through the establishment of joint ventures that give each side a tangible stake in maintaining peace. Diplomacy still has a role, but it must reject maneuvering for gain and instead emphasize the advantages both sides will gain with the cultivation of lasting peace. Throughout, Savir provides concrete examples of how these concepts have been put into practice. And he ends with a detailed vision of how this model could bring an enduring peace in one of the world’s most war-torn areas: the Mediterranean Basin. Peace First offers a pragmatic yet revolutionary new approach that promises to end our most intractable conflicts.

Book excerpt: In the wake of World War II, the United States devoted considerable resources to building a liberal economic order, which Washington believed was necessary to preserving not only prosperity but also peace after the war, and antitrust was a cornerstone of that policy.

Download or read book The Environment and Literature of Moral Dilemmas written by David Aberbach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the literature of environmental moral dilemmas from the Hebrew Bible to modern times, this book argues the necessity of cross-disciplinary approaches to environmental studies, as a subject affecting everyone, in every aspect of life. Moral dilemmas are central in the literary genre of protest against the effects of industry, particularly in Romantic literature and ‘Condition of England’ novels. Writers from the time of the Industrial Revolution to the present—including William Blake, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charles Dickens, Émile Zola, Henrik Ibsen, Anton Chekhov, T.S. Eliot, John Steinbeck, George Orwell, and J.M. Coetzee—follow the Bible in seeing environmental problems in moral terms, as a consequence of human agency. The issues raised by these and other writers—including damage to the environment and its effects on health and quality of life, particularly on the poor; economic conflicts of interest; water and air pollution, deforestation, and the environmental effects of war—are fundamentally the same today, making their works a continual source of interest and insight. Sketching a brief literary history on the impact of human behavior on the environment, this volume will be of interest to readers researching environmental studies, literary studies, religious studies and international development, as well as a useful resource to scientists and readers of the Arts.

Book excerpt: War has long been a defining feature of human history, shaping societies, economies, and the lives of individuals in profound and lasting ways. It is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon encompassing not only armed conflict between nations but also internal conflicts, civil wars, and insurgencies. The impact of war extends far beyond the battlefield, affecting every aspect of human existence and leaving a lasting imprint on generations to come. At its core, war represents a breakdown of diplomacy and a resort to violence as a means to resolve of resolving conflicts. It arises from various causes, from territorial disputes and ideological differences to competition for resources and power. Throughout history, wars have been fought for land, religion, independence, political ideologies, and countless other motivations. Regardless of the reasons behind them, the consequences of war are far-reaching and profound. One of the most devastating impacts of war is the loss of human life. Countless soldiers and civilians have perished on the battlefield, leaving behind grieving families and shattered communities. Unfathomable suffering caused by violence, displacement, and the destruction of people's homes and livelihoods is a common feature of the horrors of war. The cost to survivors' physical and mental health is tremendous, and they frequently deal with trauma, impairments, and lasting psychological scars. Beyond the immediate casualties, war can also have long-term consequences on societies and economies. Infrastructure is decimated, leaving communities without access to essential healthcare, education, and clean water. Economic systems collapse as resources are diverted to support military efforts, leading to poverty, unemployment, and widespread instability. The displacement of populations and the disruption of social structures further exacerbate these challenges, creating a cycle of hardship and dependency that can persist for generations. Moreover, the impact of war extends beyond borders, with neighbouring countries often being drawn into the conflict or experiencing its ripple effects. The global community also feels the repercussions of war through the displacement of refugees, the strain on humanitarian resources, and the potential for international tensions and escalations. In an interconnected world, no country is truly isolated from the consequences of war, underscoring the urgent need for diplomacy, conflict resolution, and the prevention of armed conflicts. Understanding the impact of war requires examining both its immediate and long-term effects. It necessitates a comprehensive analysis of armed conflict's social, economic, political, and psychological dimensions. We can gain insights into war's causes, dynamics, and consequences through historical studies, firsthand accounts, and scholarly research. Such knowledge can help inform policies and strategies to mitigate the impact of war, promote peace, and foster reconciliation in the aftermath of conflict. In exploring the impact of war, we will delve into various aspects, ranging from the human cost and humanitarian consequences to the economic aftermath and the challenges of post-war reconstruction. We will examine case studies from different historical periods and geographical regions, shedding light on the diverse experiences and lessons learned from conflicts worldwide. By grappling with the complexities of war, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of its effects and contribute to the ongoing discourse on peacebuilding and conflict resolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leo Cherne's life brimmed with paradox and improbability. He was born in the Bronx to a poor, immigrant, Jewish family, and yet rose to the heights of economic and political power in WASP America. A successful entrepreneur and an unofficial advisor to nine presidents, he nevertheless devoted the majority of his time to humanitarian causes, particularly the International Rescue Committee, which he chaired for forty years. From Hungary to Cuba to Cambodia, Cherne traveled across the globe on behalf of political refugees. A consummate networker, he also had the uncanny ability to attract and cultivate talented people before they became prominent, including such figures as John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Patrick Moynihan, Claiborne Pell, Tom Dooley, William Casey, John Whitehead, and Henry A. Kissinger. He was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1984 by Ronald Reagan, who proclaimed that although never elected to governmental office, Leo Cherne had more influence on American foreign policy than most elected officials. The underlying theme of his life was that one person, without family contacts or wealthy connections, could make a difference worldwide in political and humanitarian affairs.
