The Roots of Cooperation
United Nations Reform
Edward C. Luck, President Emeritus, Senior Policy Advisor, United Nations Association of the United States of America This book is important reading for anyone interested in the future of the UN. It contains hundreds of reform ideas, most of them sound, all of them stimulating. The diversity of views and subjects reflects the breadth of the UN's global agenda and the exemplary contributions Canadians have made to the world body. Many of Canada's …
Stable War or Stable Peace
The fuse
A chain of nations stretching from the Southern tip of Africa through the Middle East and South Asia to China and the USSR has certain peculiarly dangerous properties‐like a fault, generating earthquakes, or a fuse of nations leading to a bomb, which is the Earth. Nearly all (23 out of 24) nations in the chain are supra‐critical according to the Inter‐Nation Tensiometer, that is, over‐armed in comparison to the rest of the world and thus are “at …
Reduction of socio‐economic injustice
This empirical study is a continuation of the Limits‐to‐Violence project started in 1975 by the Canadian Peace Research Institute. The LIV project sought to model three kinds of violence‐civil war, international war, and socio‐economic injustice‐in an effort to limit global violence in the future. The research reported here is concerned with reducing socio‐economic injustice, or so‐called "structural" violence. Four scenarios are calculated for t…
Alternative pasts
Weighted voting at the UN has been suggested for various reasons: (1) to overcome the problems of the mini-states now being admitted, with one vote just as the very large states have; (2) to prevent voting in the General Assembly from swinging any further in the anti-West, anti-Israel direction; (3) to satisfy the requirements of democratic justice: i.e., “one person-one vote,” not “one nation-one vote”; and, (4) to reflect more realistically the…
Patterns of nations
The authors analyze roll call votes in the United Nations General Assembly on a yearly basis from 1946 to 1971 in an attempt to discover how many blocs are discernible in the structure of U.N. voting, to what extent these blocs are cohesive and endure through time, if there are truly independent nations, and if the observer can trace the switching of a nation from one bloc to another and relate such switches to political events outside of the Uni…
Guaranteed annual income plan for nations
Venn Diagrams of Values
Comparison of Weighted Voting Formulas for the United Nations
If the United Nations is ever to assume the greater powers needed for effective peace-keeping and peace-making, the General Assembly and/or the Security Council will need an improved system of representation and voting. The present system of giving each country one vote in the General Assembly, regardless of the country's size, and of giving a veto in the Security Council to five big powers, is unrealistic and imperfect for many reasons, which ne…

Peace Research
Studies in arms control, disarmament, tension reduction, and similar fields of international relations frequently involve several scientific disciplines.Both physical and social scientists are involved in the applied science of what has come to be called "peace research".To provide such research workers with a central source of reference data, the Canadian Peace Research Institute has established C.P.R.I.Abstracts.The Institute, directed by a 15-…
