Описание: In a world riven with conflict, violence and war, this book proposes a philosophical defense of pacifism. It argues that there is a moral presumption against war and unless that presumption is defeated, war is unjustified. Leading philosopher of non-violence Robert Holmes contends that neither just war theory nor the rationales for recent wars (Vietnam, the Gulf War, the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars) defeat that presumption, hence that war in the modern world is morally unjustified. A detailed, comprehensive and elegantly argued text which guides both students and scholars through the main debates (Just War Theory and double effect to name a few) clearly but without oversimplifying the complexities of the issues or historical examples.

Описание:
Seeking to expand the transformative aspect of conflict resolution, the contributors to this edited collection have focused on gathering scholarship from under-represented voices and viewpoints in the field, the emerging discipline. Most mainstream conflict resolution seems to look either at interpersonal conflict or international conflict without much focus on the differing individuals and social structures involved. These peer-reviewed essays add significant findings to those gaps in the literature. The editors and contributors are, perhaps not coincidentally, mostly women and people of color, whose voices are often absent from other collections. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Описание: Richard Bartlett Gregg`s The Power of Nonviolence (1959) is an influential defence of nonviolence as a viable alternative to armed struggle. This definitive new edition includes an introduction by leading political theorist, James Tully that situates the work in its historical contexts and shows how it is still relevant today.
Описание: `Active resistance`, initiated in Australian environmental blockades and now adopted globally, makes the song `We Shall Not Be Moved` much more realistic, as activists erect tripod villages, bury, chain and cement themselves into the ground, and `lock-on` to machinery and gates.

Описание:
The impetus for the volume arose from a conference celebrating the already published work of Adriana Cavarero, in particular her recent work on a postural ethics of non-violence. It contains an original essay by Cavarero developing the topic further, responses by Butler and Honig that bring their own body of work to bear on how best to think a postural ethics, and then a wider dialogue on the interstices of these three thinkers drawing on post-Marxist, Italian feminist, queer theory and lesbian and gay politics, with an original response by Cavarero in which she replies to the concerns raised in order to reaffirm her account of ethics.
This is a timely publication given the backlash to feminism seen in the growth of right wing politics across the globe. The volume celebrates in critical spirit Cavarero's extraordinary contribution to philosophical and political debate over four decades. It demonstrates how her wide-ranging and critical interventions have helped reinvigorate a stagnant political scene, asserting against persistent claims that There Is No Alternative that there are many alternatives lived by people across the world, despite oppression and exclusion. Of further interest, the text develops Butler's ethics of non-violence beyond Precarious Lives and Frames of War and shows Honig applying her agonistic theory to an ethics of non-violence. The volume is not merely supplementary to already existing publications by any of these three authors but is instead an original contribution in its own right. Although inspired by Cavarero's recent work on an ethical maternal posture of inclination 1] the responses by Judith Butler, Bonnie Honig and seven other interlocutors situate Cavarero's argument in her wider corpus of nonviolence and uniqueness, that critiques and offers an alternative to the masculine symbolic of philosophy. This introduction endeavours to not only introduce Cavarero's work, but to chart the journey of an increasingly productive dialogue between Cavarero and other traditions within feminism, bringing together what were initially perceived to be radically divergent positions. It also seeks to capture the, collaborative but provocative spirit of the inspirational scholarly friendship between Butler, Honig and Cavarero as they contest the boundaries of their common project for a pluralistic, heterogeneous but urgent feminist ethics of nonviolence. 1] see chapter one here and Inclinations: a Critique of Rectitude
Описание: Philosophy of Nonviolence maps out a system articulating nonviolence in the revolution, the rule of constitutional law it yearns for, and the demand for accountability that inspired the revolution in the first place.

Описание: This book examines the ethics of the alternatives to war. It assesses the moral case for each of the alternative in their own right, and provides an overall assessment of the alternatives to war.
Thousands of ordinary people in Israel and Palestine have engaged in a dazzling array of daring and visionary joint nonviolent initiatives for more than a century. They have endured despite condemnation by their own societies, repetitive failures of diplomacy, harsh inequalities, and endemic cycles of violence.
Connecting with the Enemy presents the first comprehensive history of unprecedented grassroots efforts to forge nonviolent alternatives to the lethal collision of the two national movements. Bringing to light the work of over five hundred groups, Sheila H. Katz describes how Arabs and Jews, children and elders, artists and activists, educators and students, garage mechanics and physicists, and lawyers and prisoners have spoken truth to power, protected the environment, demonstrated peacefully, mourned together, stood in resistance and solidarity, and advocated for justice and security. She also critiques and assesses the significance of their work and explores why these good-will efforts have not yet managed to end the conflict or occupation. This previously untold story of Palestinian-Israeli joint nonviolence will challenge the mainstream narratives of terror and despair, monsters and heroes, that help to perpetuate the conflict. It will also inspire and encourage anyone grappling with social change, peace and war, oppression and inequality, and grassroots activism anywhere in the world.
Many books have dealt with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the Israeli perspective. However, few reflect the Palestinian point of view. Letters from Palestine offers an American audience a rare opportunity to listen to actual Palestinian people as they describe what it is like to live in the occupied territories of the West Bank or Gaza, or to grow up as a Palestinian in the U.S. Their accounts are lively, poignant, searing, and tragic, yet often laced with touches of surreal humor. By showing Palestinians in all their humanity, Letters from Palestine enables American readers to see beyond the usual stereotypes.
