Rezensionen
"At a time when peoples' concerns with global peacelessness are as great as ever, it is salutary to have a new volume with a positive, broad approach to peace. This book critiques the illusions of some traditional paths, yet echoes the idea that peace is as much a means as an end-and that ethics and politics, inner and structural peace, all need fine-tuning at such a critical moment." -Nigel Young, Editor in Chief of The Oxford International Encyclopedia of Peace
