PEACE BY PEACEFUL MEANS: PEACE AND CONFLICT, DEVELOPMENT AND CIVILIZATION

Portada, 280 p. - Firma de anterior propietario en portada. - Contenido: This seminal and pioneering masterwork by the father of peace research offers a comprehensive, systematic framework for understanding and achieving global harmony through non-violent paradigms. Johan Galtung masterfully integrates four interrelated dimensions—peace studies, conflict resolution, development theories, and the macro-history of civilizations—to dissect the root causes of structural, cultural, and direct violence. The text challenges traditional security models by arguing that true peace cannot be achieved through military deterrence, proposing instead creative tools for conflict transformation and sustainable, human-centered development models. Written with profound analytical depth and a normative commitment to social justice, the volume outlines practical methodologies for resolving disputes at interpersonal, national, and international levels.
