Culture of Peace

Book: Elise Boulding. Culture of Peace.

Description

Andrea L. Strimling: "She argues that history is generally written as a sequences of wars, conflicts, invasions, conquests, etc., but that history could just as easily be written as the history of peaceful coexistence to nonviolent conflict resolution to other related episodes in human history. Rather than refute the prevailing approach, she focuses on creating an alternative that illuminates cooperation. Elise is the wife of the late Kenneth Boulding, and a highly-recognized scholar and peace activist - nominated for Nobel some years ago." (Cooperation Commons mailing list, March 2009)
