Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of a peaceful world by natural means of selection is highly unlikely without having the convergence of science with religion in the modern civilization. The American Philosopher Jesse C. Fleming, a retired Associate Professor, and the Divya Quran Educational Foundation of India both provided this convergence when they read my previous book, Terrorist Are Born When the Pairs Break, based on the same basic law of creation which is applied to this study. Dr. Jesse C. Fleming wrote to me, I appreciate your idea that all existences from quarks to societies only function when there is a balanced complementariness of opposites or pairs, and your very logical conclusion that human rights too are possible only when this balance is maintained otherwise terrorism wins...... where as the Divya Quran Educational Foundation sent me a letter saying, We found the book as one of the best Islamic literature- far away from religious traditionalism...... the base of this book i.e. God created everything in pairs, and its detailed presentation singles out this book as the unique great human work. ............ I was profoundly encouraged with the two letters endorsing the convergence of science with the divine religion. We need this convergence for developing a global consensus for the creation of a peaceful world by natural means of selection. The Author

Download or read book World Peace written by Alex J. Bellamy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as there has been war, there have been demands for its elimination. The quest for world peace has excited and eluded political leaders, philosophers, religious elders, activists, and artists for millennia. With war on the rise once again, we rarely reflect on what world peace might look like; much less on how it might be achieved. World Peace aims to change all that and show that world peace is possible. Because the motives, rationales, and impulses that give rise to war - the quest for survival, enrichment, solidarity, and glory - are now better satisfied through peaceful means, war is an increasingly anachronistic practice, more likely to impoverish and harm us humans than satisfy and protect us. This book shows that we already have many of the institutions and practices needed to make peace possible and sets out an agenda for building world peace. In the immediate term, it shows how steps to strengthen compliance with international law, improve collective action such as international peacekeeping and peacebuilding, better regulate the flow of arms, and hold individuals legally accountable for acts of aggression or atrocity crimes can make our world more peaceful. It also shows how in the long term, building strong and legitimate states that protect the rights and secure the livelihoods of their people, gender equal societies, and protecting the right of individuals to opt-out of wars has the potential to establish and sustain world peace. But it will only happen, if individuals organize to make it happen.
Book Synopsis Peace on Our Terms by : Mona L. Siegel
Download or read book Peace on Our Terms written by Mona L. Siegel and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the watershed year of 1919, world leaders met in Paris, promising to build a new international order rooted in democracy and social justice. Female activists demanded that statesmen live up to their word. Excluded from the negotiating table, women met separately, crafted their own agendas, and captured global headlines with a message that was both straightforward and revolutionary: enduring peace depended as much on recognition of the fundamental humanity and equality of all people—regardless of sex, race, class, or creed—as on respect for the sovereignty of independent states. Peace on Our Terms follows dozens of remarkable women from Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia as they crossed oceans and continents; commanded meeting halls in Paris, Zurich, and Washington; and marched in the streets of Cairo and Beijing. Mona L. Siegel’s sweeping global account of international organizing highlights how Egyptian and Chinese nationalists, Western and Japanese labor feminists, white Western suffragists, and African American civil rights advocates worked in tandem to advance women’s rights. Despite significant resistance, these pathbreaking women left their mark on emerging democratic constitutions and new institutions of global governance. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Peace on Our Terms is the first book to demonstrate the centrality of women’s activism to the Paris Peace Conference and the critical diplomatic events of 1919. Siegel tells the timely story of how female activists transformed women’s rights into a global rallying cry, laying a foundation for generations to come.

Download or read book History of Peace written by David Hoicka and published by Singapore Mediation Solutions. This book was released on 1920 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Peace demonstrates from 4500 years of history, and case studies of more than 100 treaties resolving armed conflicts, that even when peace seems impossible, peace may still be possible. Even when the going seems hopeless, and the night is dark, hope is not yet lost. History shows that again and again, peace can break out from the darkest of nights. From ancient Mesopotamia to modern-day peace processes, this groundbreaking book explores humanity's enduring quest for peace. "History of Peace" offers profound insights into how mediators - from world leaders to grassroots peacemakers - have helped resolve armed conflicts, save lives, rebuild communities, and foster economic growth through the power of dialogue and negotiation, over the thousands of years from the beginnings of recorded time. Read about: · The Treaty of Mesilim (c. 2550 BCE) – Mesilim, king of the Sumerian city-state of Kish, mediated a land and water boundary dispute between the nearby south Babylonian cities of Lagash and Umma · The Treaty of Kadesh (1259 BCE) between Egypt and the Hittites, negotiated by intermediaries, established one of the earliest known mutual defense pacts · The Peace of Westphalia (1648), facilitated by papal mediation, revolutionized international relations by introducing the concept of state sovereignty · The Congress of Vienna (1815) reshaped Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, with Talleyrand's skilled mediation creating a balance of power that lasted nearly a century · The Treaty of Versailles (1919) ended World War I but sowed seeds for future conflict, highlighting the importance of inclusive mediation processes · The Camp David Accords (1978) demonstrated the power of personal diplomacy and third-party mediation by the US in resolving seemingly intractable disputes between Egypt and Israel · The Good Friday Agreement (1998) brought an end to decades of conflict in Northern Ireland through innovative power-sharing arrangements, facilitated by multi-party mediation · The Aceh Peace Agreement (2005) in Indonesia, mediated by former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, ended a 30-year conflict and saved countless lives · The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (2005) in Sudan, mediated by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), ended Africa's longest-running civil war · The Colombian Peace Agreement (2016), facilitated by Norwegian and Cuban mediation, ended over 50 years of conflict between the government and FARC rebels Through vivid storytelling and expert analysis, "History of Peace" brings to life the dramatic moments when bitter enemies found common ground. From Napoleon and Tsar Alexander's fateful meeting on a raft in the Neman River to modern-day peace negotiations, we will trace an arc of human progress in the vital art of conflict resolution. A prime example is the Treaty of Portsmouth of 1905, which ended the Russo-Japanese War. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's mediation between Russia and Japan not only brought an end to a costly conflict but also elevated the United States' role in international diplomacy. As Japanese diplomat Jutarō Komura noted, "President Roosevelt's impartial and energetic efforts have made possible what seemed impossible." This treaty demonstrates how skilled mediation can bridge even the widest divides between adversaries. But this book is more than just a chronicle of famous treaties. It's a deep exploration of how mediation and diplomacy have evolved over millennia to become sophisticated tools for conflict resolution. Readers will learn: · The essential ingredients for successful peace negotiations · How mediators bridge seemingly unbridgeable divides · The role of economic incentives in cementing peace · How to structure agreements for long-term stability · Common pitfalls in peace processes and how to avoid them "History of Peace" also highlights the crucial role played by grassroots peacemakers and civil society in nurturing reconciliation from the ground up. Through inspiring stories of ordinary people working for change, it shows how everyone can contribute to building a more peaceful world. With ongoing conflicts from Ukraine to Yemen threatening global stability, the lessons in this book have never been more relevant. Whether you're a student of history, a policymaker, a mediator, or simply someone who cares about creating a better future, "History of Peace" offers invaluable insights into humanity's noblest endeavor. Key features: · Comprehensive overview of peace treaties and conflict resolution from ancient times to the present · In-depth case studies of pivotal agreements that shaped world history · Analysis of evolving mediation techniques and diplomatic strategies · Exploration of the economic benefits of peace and post-conflict reconstruction · Inspiring stories of grassroots peacebuilders making a difference · Lessons for addressing contemporary conflicts and global challenges This book is priced at an affordable price point to enable widest availability. If this collection of inspiring stories how to make Swords into Plowshares, saves even one life or brings happiness to a single person, it will fill me also with hope and happiness, knowing I've made a difference as the author.
