Peace process

The idea of war, just war, wars of aggression or any of the innumerable ways humans convey and justify war is certain an intangible. War has been part of human society for thousands of years, and it is unlikely that some sort of cultural or human conflict will ever be completely erased (Brodie, 1974, p. 276). One very standard definition of war states that it is a quarrel between nations conducted by force - essentially derived when two groups are unable to communicate reasonably and meaningfully

Culture can be defined as “learned patterns of perception, values, and behaviours, shared by a group of people, that are dynamic and heterogeneous “(Martin & Nakayama, pg 32). The purpose of this paper is to present research on a conflict involving different cultural groups. The paper will integrate library research as well as focus on two specific aspects of conflict for my research. Those aspects will be; the history of the relationships between cultural groups and culture conceptions of women

righteous. Pacifists have argued about the issue, indicating the state or government is wrong for using war as a resort to resolve a problem. Even if there was a good intention of going into battle, it would still be wrong because there is an absence of peace when pointless violence is going to be or has been committed. It is thought with the aim to avoid confrontation, harmony and understanding of one another is a better way of elucidating conflicts. It is agreeable that war is never just; it is relatively

scholars consider it unfortunate that Israel received denunciation from the UN and note that the attack abided by all the criteria of jus ad bellum. McMahan (2006), D’Amato (1996), Long (2005), and Ford (2005) all contend it is an exemplary case of preventive force used justifiably as it illustrates how there should be no blanket provision against preventive force under the just war theory. These scholars note that neither the Caroline Test nor the definition of preemption require alteration. However

Just War Theory Many people believe that the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought the Second World War to an end. However, whether these bombings were truly necessary and whether they led to the Japanese surrender have yet to be objectively determined. In times of war, countries reference just war theory, which outlines how to carry out ethical warfare. When examining the aforementioned bombings, it becomes apparent that they violated the concepts of just war as they killed so

rationalist explanations in section 2. Section 3 provides a taxonomy of bargaining failures and how these relate to conflict; section 4 contains a discussion of which theories described in section 3 shed light on the observations of the democratic peace. In section 5 we report on the state of the literature on endogenous armaments and power and the implications for conflict and war. History The first war ever to be documented was in Mesopotamia in 2700 BCE between Sumer and Elam. The Sumerians,

As discussed in the next section, some critics of these types of responses to transnational terrorism argue that a law enforcement operations model should be applied rather than the law of armed conflict because of the nature of the operations that are involved. For instance, Kels notes that human rights advocates “insist upon a legal geography of war, whereby states must apply a law enforcement (rather than armed conflict) model to any hostilities conducted outside of universally recognized hot

War has been one of the major features of the twentieth century. An extensive percentage of people have been participants or victims of the interstate or civil wars. Nowadays wars still exist and large populations suffer from it. The book Why Nations Fight by Richard Ned Lebow analyzes war in the past and the motives for war in the future. This book is extremely interesting to me, because of the current civil war in Ukraine that has been going on for almost 2 years. Lebow uses different scholarly

was finding scholarly articles and books that pertained to my research questions and disciplines. Throughout all of the information and sources that I gathered, I selected five articles and one book. The book “Beyond Violence: Conflict Resolution Process” by Mari Fizduff was by far the most inspiring source in my collection of evidence. (Citation) It gave keen insight into the sources of the conflict but most importantly, it presented strategies and solutions to end the violence. With my foundation

The question "Can war be justified?" plagued mankind since the first war. The Just War Theory holds that war can be just. The theory has evolved for thousands of years and modern theorists, such as Michael Walzer, author of Just and Unjust Wars, puts forth criteria for a just war, such as jus ad bellum and jus in bello. Jus ad bellum includes reasons for going to war, and jus in bello deals with the people who wage war. The criteria in jus ad bellum include; just cause, declaration by a proper authority
