Whither World Peace

Continuity and Change

An humanitarian view of challenges to life in a national and

international scenario is needed today. Humanity cannot
survive without the twin values of truth and nonviolence even
for an instant. Despite this self-evident facet of our lives, we
humans are akin to go for massive and diabolical violence
and ever new inventions towards creating newer weapons of
mass destruction on public fronts, and in national and
international politics. This is a great paradox.

Ariadnae’s Thread!
Search for New Modes of Thinking

Mary E. Clark has pointed out in her aforesaid voluminous

work published in 1989 that the more the world is trying to
unfold the ball of thread of life the more it is getting engulfed
in its own web – maybe the pejorative effectives of modern
technology and information science.

Recurring Patterns in Relationships

Instances of Spellings, Human Behaviour and Politics of Peace

1. “Floccinaucinihilipilification”, “Anent”, “Perspectives”,

“Principal”, “Principle”, “Infringement”, “Implication”,
“International” etc.
2. Different routine and exceptional patterns at different levels.
3. Indian example of politics of peace in creation of Bangladesh
and the Jamaican of an army-less country.
4. These are diversified, recurring and different patterns.
5. Deciphering these patterns of recurring peace amidst conflicts
and wars is necessary.
6. This deciphering may lead to a new more meaningful and
effective theory of peacebuilding the world over.

Nature of Cooperation and Conflict in Homo sapiens

As if the Twins shall Never Meet!

Existing functional nature of human relations treats
cooperation and conflict as two parallel lines always moving
ahead in their own straight jacket pattern never even criss-
crossing one another.

Cooperation and conflict are not such parallel lines in human behaviour.
These are like twins always mutually acting, interacting, inter-mingling
together and influencing each other.

Prevailing Conflict Solving System

Three/Four Tiers
Negotiation
Mediation
Conflict/Crisis Management Arbitration
Conflict Resolution Adjudication

Conflict Transformation
All these however do not suffice to
understand deeper nuances of intent and
Peace Education sensitivities in diversified conflicts in
different regions of the world. Hence, they
Peace Research
largely fail to resolve and shape them for
Peace Building a more permanent peace.
