The Body and Peace
Peace builders can benefit by paying attention to the emotions and moods stored in the body, especially as a result of traumas and conflicts, writes Mark Walsh, who offers workshops to individuals and organizations in London.
Rights and Conflict in Russia
Andrei Kamenshikov works in the North Caucasus with Nonviolence International, helping police and government officials reach out to alienated youths, and in Moscow establishing dialogues among ethnic communities. Metta Spencer interviewed him by phone in February.
Robert M Baxter 1926-2010
A short appreciation of Bob Baxter, who died in February. Bob was a member of Peace Magazine‘s editorial group and was active in Science for Peace.
Jewish Particularity and the Future of Israel and Palestine
Marc H. Ellis is a professor of Jewish studies at Baylor University in Texas. He explores the conflict between liberal Jews and “Constantinian Jews” who are committed above all to maintaining the power of Israel. Yet he belongs to neither camp and explains why not — for theological reasons.
Afghanistan, the Pipeline and Geopolitics
Since the mid-1990s the US has actively promoted the TAPI pipeline that will carry gas south through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India and possibly beyond, write John Foster and Millie Morton. This plan has big geopolitical implications that we should all know about.
Comparative Ethics and the Responsibility to Protect
Canada took the lead in promoting a new set of principles to determine when the world should intervene to protect citizens if their own governments fail to do so. This issue is controversial for Christians. Here Roger Hutchinson reviews the arguments from both points of view.
Jamail’s Journey Through War
When a Texan Republican mountain rescuer named Dahr Jamail went to cover the invasion of Iraq, he discovered more pain than he could handle. But then, writes Maggie Ziegler, he met Joanna Macy and having come to terms with his post-traumatic stress disorder, is helping others too.
A Window on Private Diplomacy
Christopher Thornton tells us about a very private institution in Geneva, Switzerland where negotiations go on between belligerents from such settings as Aceh, Kenya, Mindanao, and Darfur. The mediators there are paragons of discretion who work in a pragmatic way.
