Peace is the New War What is war good for? Absolutely nothing -- unless you're a military profiteer, torture fetishist, media mogul, or fearmongering politician. I'm tempted to add Peace Studies professors to this list, since war seemingly provides a raison d'etre to our work, but that only captures half the field -- namely the basic abolition of war that we call "negative peace" -- and misses the more interesting and challenging aspect of what "positive peace" actually looks like in practice. People across the political spectrum are war-weary by now and ready for that positive new option. Posted in peace

Peace is the New War

What is war good for? Absolutely nothing -- unless you're a military profiteer, torture fetishist, media mogul, or fearmongering politician. I'm tempted to add Peace Studies professors to this list, since war seemingly provides a raison d'etre to our work, but that only captures half the field -- namely the basic abolition of war that we call "negative peace" -- and misses the more interesting and challenging aspect of what "positive peace" actually looks like in practice.

People across the political spectrum are war-weary by now and ready for that positive new option.
