Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Abstract

Worldwide, tens of millions of people are caught up in violent conflict, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, die every year as a direct result. Violence has a profoundly negative impact on the whole planet, even when it occurs in remote places. Where there is violence, lives and livelihoods are shattered; economic development is blocked; human rights are abused; and the environment is devastated. Consequently, preventing violence is a necessary precursor for humanity to move forward in positive ways. Current problems-whether economic, ethnic, or environmental-are too complex and inter-connected to be settled on a violent, adversarial basis. The earth is clearly running out of space, resources, and recuperative capacity to deal with wasteful conflict. This is not a fringe issue. It is in everyone's best interest to build peace.
