Liberal Peacebuilding and Global Governance

Liberal Peacebuilding and Global Governance

David Roberts

Routledge
2011
sidottu
This book examines the limits to cosmopolitan liberal peacebuilding caused by its preoccupation with the values and assumptions of neoliberal global governance. The peace people experience is determined by the processes privileged in peacebuilding. This book is about four things that shape the processes involved. First, it is a critique of orthodox postconflict peacebuilding. It takes the position that the present approach, although seemingly hegemonic, is routinely ignored or manipulated by elites and society and converted into a miasma that to some degree wastes the energies and opportunities involved. Second, it is about alternatives which invoke the kind of peace people might seek in postconflict places if they had more control over the process of peacebuilding, a notion referred to here as ‘popular peace’. It is thus not the kind of critical work that some describe as ‘reflexive anti-liberalism’. Rather, it seeks alternatives that are grounded in the lives of people in postconflict spaces and which also reflect some of the essential values of Liberalism. Third, it is about the role of both informal and formal actors, institutions and practices in the creation of such a peace. For instance, it is concerned with the legitimacy of informal practices that lie beyond Liberal tolerance and which are vital in the pursuit of everyday peace. Fourth, it is about a ‘transversal’ (rather than vertical or hierarchical) relationship of global and local governance in securing a peace that reflects the needs and values of both. In short, this work is a response to the substantial inconsistencies that appear between peacebuilding rhetoric and everyday outcomes in postconflict places.This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, post-conflict statebuilding, conflict studies, global governance and International Relations in general.

The Peaceful Transfer of Power

The Peaceful Transfer of Power

David Marchick; Alexander Tippett; A. J. Wilson

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA PRESS
2022
sidottu
Ronald Reagan called the peaceful transfer of power from one U.S. president to the next a miracle, and it is. It is also the most delicate and hazardous period in the entire political cycle. Americans learned the stakes in 2020, when President Donald Trump’s refusal to trigger the formal start of the transition process to President-Elect Joe Biden created perhaps the worst crisis for American democracy since the Civil War. Even at the best of times, an incoming administration faces a gargantuan task, as every new president must make more than four thousand political appointments in a short period of time.Yet the day-to-day process of presidential transitions remains poorly understood, even by government specialists. This is why the Partnership for Public Service’s Center for Presidential Transition created Transition Lab, a one-year podcast series that ran through January 2021. The Peaceful Transfer of Power now puts those distinct interviews with scholars, journalists, public servants, and—most important—participants in every transition from Ford–Carter to Trump–Biden into a narrative format that illuminates the long history, complexity, and current best practices associated with this most vital of democratic institutions.Presidential transitions stand at a critical juncture here and abroad. Highly readable and deeply informative, this book offers every citizen invested in safeguarding our democracy accessible and concentrated insights that will help future transitions run better, faster, and more smoothly.The Partnership for Public Service is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that is building a better government and a stronger democracy.

A Peaceful Superpower

A Peaceful Superpower

New Village Press
2023
pokkari
A definitive analysis of the impacts of the Iraq antiwar movement As the Bush administration prepared to wage war against Iraq, millions of people in the United States and around the world took to the streets to warn against the impending disaster. It was the largest wave of antiwar protest in history. This is the story of those dramatic events, told by distinguished peace scholar and activist David Cortright. This revealing account offers an insider view of the emergence of the movement and its political and communications strategies in attempting to prevent the attack. It reviews the arrogance of power as senior officials rejected public and expert opinion and rushed ahead with their ill-fated invasion. The book traces efforts by opponents of the war to end the worsening conflict and win Congressional approval for the withdrawal of troops. Cortright explores the role of the Iraq issue and the impact of antiwar networks in propelling Barack Obama to the White House, and the frustrations many activists felt in navigating the limitations of conventional politics. Readable, insightful and passionately argued, A Peaceful Superpower provides a definitive analysis of the impacts of the Iraq antiwar movement and a hopeful look at the power of civil society to shape the course of history.

Veteran scholar and peace activist David Cortright offers a definitive history of the human striving for peace and an analysis of its religious and intellectual roots. This authoritative, balanced, and highly readable volume traces the rise of peace advocacy and internationalism from their origins in earlier centuries through the mass movements of recent decades: the pacifist campaigns of the 1930s, the Vietnam antiwar movement, and the waves of disarmament activism that peaked in the 1980s. Also explored are the underlying principles of peace - nonviolence, democracy, social justice, and human rights - all placed within a framework of 'realistic pacifism'. Peace brings the story up-to-date by examining opposition to the Iraq War and responses to the so-called 'war on terror'. This is history with a modern twist, set in the context of current debates about 'the responsibility to protect', nuclear proliferation, Darfur, and conflict transformation.

2011
nidottu
PEACE, BUTTER & JELLY: Tales of Nourishment is a foodspirational journey through family stories of Russia, India, New Jersey, Santo Domingo, Boston and the Carolinas, plus coveted recipes and a cupboard full of poems for dessert. This book will entertain, inform and uplift you. You'll learn how to live your life well and how to nourish yourself, family and friends with three daily practices: meditation, happy eating and creative expression, especially the written word. The book is like a delicious meal, replete with delectable surprises, and leaves you fuller than when you started. Written by Boston's first Personal Chef, this memoir is no less than an honest sharing of a modern spiritual journey. By the time you finish this book, you realize that you were invited to dinner with great love and what was shared were recipes of the heart. Peace, Butter & Jelly, welcome to the world of creative non-fiction Tony Abbott, Pulitzer Prize nominee, writes: "David Mark Seidel's PEACE, BUTTER, and JELLY is a remarkably original and engaging book."Peace," as I understand it, refers to the peace which comes from meditation, which has totally changed David Mark Seidel's life. "Butter" stands for food, for the wonderful recipes which make up the middle of the book, and which every food lover will covet. And "Jelly" stands for the wonder and joy of poetry, which makes up the last part of the book. Never have I seen these three things together before. It's a rare achievement to put together the nourishment of meditation, food, philosophy and poetry, but David Mark Seidel has made his own sandwich and made it well." "David Mark Seidel is a one of a kind original. Whether through his delightfully whimsical and time stopping poems, his tasty recipes, or his allegorical stories--life is all performance art to him, bubbling up into manifestation from deep within his meditative soul. And PEACE, BUTTER, & JELLY is but a first taste of that boundless, creative vision." Peter Reinhart, author, American Pie, My Search for the Perfect Pizza "David Mark Seidel has crafted a book that reorients us with, as he writes in his Tales of Nourishment, "the magnificence of our existence." Using culinary terms as metaphors for life-ingredients and life-experiences, he weaves through autobiographical musings, recipes, and lyrical poems, touching repeatedly on the sacredness of familial and cultural legacies, his conviction that he is both carrying a torch for his ancestors and offering a torch to his son. Accessible, whimsical, and insightful, Seidel's work invites us to ponder our chosen and inherited roles, how we relate to others, and, ultimately, how we stay connected to the divine source of life and love itself. PEACE, BUTTER & JELLY is a poignant and refreshing book, a timely and timeless offering indeed." John Amen, author of At the Threshold of Alchemy; editor of The Pedestal Magazine "PEACE, BUTTER & JELLY: Tales of Nourishment is a gem with many facets. You have been invited to share food with the family of a masterful cook. In a profound and subtle way, author David Mark Seidel unveils the secret ingredient behind every successful recipe as he experienced it, as it nurtured and transformed him." Roman Oleh Yaworsky, Author, Being Centered "Reading Peace, Butter & Jelly is like having an easy and pleasant conversation with your own self, allowing you to reconnect to times of pure being. Gratitude reveals itself in between each line and it is contagious David's heart pours out through every word, every line, every breath which I could feel him taking. A spiritual romantic's look at his own life through light yet deeply profound humor based on sweet gratefulness." Susana Sor Artist, Writer and Healer "We applaud the work David is doing. Peace Butter & Jelly will be a welcome addition to any food / family loving enthusiast's library. Very nice." Gary Torres Food For Life Baking Co., Inc. Makers of Ezekiel 4:9 product

The Peace Progressives and American Foreign Relations

The Peace Progressives and American Foreign Relations

Robert David Johnson

Harvard University Press
1995
sidottu
This intensively researched volume covers a previously neglected aspect of American history: the foreign policy perspective of the peace progressives, a bloc of dissenters in the U.S. Senate, between 1913 and 1935. The Peace Progressives and American Foreign Relations is the first full-length work to focus on these senators during the peak of their collective influence. Robert David Johnson shows that in formulating an anti-imperialist policy, the peace progressives advanced the left-wing alternative to the Wilsonian agenda.The experience of World War I, and in particular Wilson’s postwar peace settlement, unified the group behind the idea that the United States should play an active world role as the champion of weaker states. Senators Asle Gronna of North Dakota, Robert La Follette and John Blaine of Wisconsin, and William Borah of Idaho, among others, argued that this anti-imperialist vision would reconcile American ideals not only with the country’s foreign policy obligations but also with American economic interests. In applying this ideology to both inter-American and European affairs, the peace progressives emerged as the most powerful opposition to the business-oriented internationalism of the decade’s Republican administrations, while formulating one of the most comprehensive critiques of American foreign policy ever to emerge from Congress.

War and Peace in Dodge

War and Peace in Dodge

New Brevet Publications

Middle America, the 1940s: a war begins and rages. Young Johnny Smith sees it all, from the opening salvos to the dramatic, explosive conclusion, the biggest family feud ever to hit the small town of Dodge. It splits apart not only a family, but a whole community, dividing east and west. As Johnny eagerly engages his nefarious double-aunt godmother Aunt Hilde, whom he labels "AH," (and who, he swears, has a mustache, small, squarish and black) under the auspices of first his Aunt Winnie, then his Uncle Frank and finally his own dad Harry, the stakes rise higher and higher. The war is for the unity of the family, and then the leadership of the town, with consequences far beyond, leading Johnny to search for hope and wonder whether or not they would even survive the darkness of those days.From the first Blitzkrieg to the Battle of Britain and Pearl Harbor, to the great responses of Operation Torch and Normandy, culminating in the Battle of the Bulge and the dropping of The Bomb, and more, the whole war of the family feud is seen and experienced by Johnny. While it parallels something far more historic and well-known, to 11-year-old Johnny it is home and family, so it is everything.

Argaman Press

Everybody knows the legends of King David - the years of persecution by King Saul, the stone that killed Goliath, his friendship with Jonathan, his love for Michal and Bathsheba, the building of Jerusalem, the Psalms, the sons who tried to take his throne. Yet decades of archaeology in Israel have sought in vain for a historical King David, while two centuries of study in Comparative Mythology and ancient languages have found a very different King David from the one presented in the Bible. Now, in this two-part "auto-biography", David Prashker has brought together everything that is known in an account of the life of King David that will often take you by surprise. Book One: The Red-Headed First-Born recounts the first half of the life of King Yedid-Yah (David), the years that brought King Sha'ul to the throne as the first King of Yisra-El: the early years in Beit-Lechem Ephratah (Bethlehem) when he was still Daoud the goat-herd; the anointment by the Prophet Shmu-El; the years in Gilgal and Giv-Yah as a member of the royal choir and as armour-bearer to the King; the slaying of Goliath and his friendship with Prince Yah-Natan; the years of exile and banditry after his marriage to Princess Michal; his first throne as King of Tsiklag; and then the death of Sha'ul that would lead to his becoming King of Yisra-El. Book Two: The Waxing of the Moon recounts the second half of the life of King Yedid-Yah: his seven-year reign in Chevron (Hebron); the conquest of the seven towns that would become the great conurbation of Yiru-Sala'am (Jerusalem); the failed attempt to establish Yeshurun, the spiritual realm; the building of a national confederation, founded in the twelve tribes and the cult of Yah, Yahweh and their ever-dying-ever-reborn son, known as Tammuz, Ba'al, Adonis, or simply as Dodi, the "Beloved Son", or as Daoud, King Yedid-Yah. The stories, too, of his many loves and marriages; the sons who tried to take his throne; his friendship with King Hu-Ram of Tsur (Tyre); the farcical attempt to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. In City of Peace you will encounter David the Psalmist but also Daoud the warrior who was prohibited from building the Temple because his hands were stained with blood. And finally, ending where the novel began, the choice of Shlomo (Solomon) as his successor, and the king's slow, agonising death, impotent and paralysed, still clinging on to power and writing his memoirs as a way of trying to control posterity as well. City of Peace is at once an extraordinary adventure story and a work of profound scholarship. A historical novel not to be missed.

Peace Pact

Peace Pact

David C. Hendrickson

University Press of Kansas
2003
nidottu
That New England might invade Virginia is inconceivable today. But interstate rivalries and the possibility of intersectional war loomed large in the thinking of the Framers who convened in Philadelphia in 1787 to put on paper the ideas that would bind the federal union together. At the end of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin rejoiced that the document would "astonish our enemies, who are waiting to hear with confidence . . . that our States are on the point of separation, only to meet hereafter for the purpose of cutting one another's throats." Usually dismissed as hyperbole, this and similar remarks by other Founders help us to understand the core concerns that shaped their conception of the Union. By reexamining the creation of the federal system of the United States from a perspective that yokes diplomacy with constitutionalism, Hendrickson's study, according to Karl Walling, "introduces a new way to think about what is familiar to us."This ground breaking book, then, takes a fresh look at the formative years of American constitutionalism and diplomacy. It tells the story of how thirteen colonies became independent states and found themselves grappling with the classic problems of international cooperation, and it explores the intellectual milieu within which that problem was considered. The founding generation, Hendrickson argues, developed a sophisticated science of international politics relevant both to the construction of their own union and to the foreign relations of "the several states in the union of the empire." The centrality of this discourse, he contends, must severely qualify conventional depictions of early American political thought as simply "liberal" or "republican."Hendrickson also takes issue with conventional accounts of early American foreign policy as "unilateralist" or "isolationist" and insists that the founding generation belonged to and made distinguished contributions to the constitutional tradition in diplomacy, the antecedent of twentieth-century internationalism. He describes an American system of states riven by deep sectional animosities and powerful loyalties to colonies and states (often themselves described as "nations") and explains why in such a milieu the creation of a durable union often appeared to be a quixotic enterprise. The book culminates in a consideration of the making of the federal Constitution, here styled as a peace pact or experiment in international cooperation.Peace Pact is an important book that promises to revolutionize our understanding of the era of revolution and constitution-making. Written in a lucid and accessible style, the book is an excellent introduction to the American founding and its larger significance in American and world history.
