Community, Diversity, and Difference: Implications for Peace: Value Inquiry Book Series / Philosophy of Peace, cartea 127

Alison Bailey, Paula J. Smithka
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2001
This book has its philosophical starting point in the idea that group-based social movements have positive implications for peace politics. It explores ways of imagining community, nation, and international systems through a political lens that is attentive to diversity and different lived experiences. Contributors suggest how groups might work toward new nonviolent conceptions and experiences of diverse communities and global stability.
