Alternative Realities
Originally published in 1974, this book examines the nature of the commune movement, its members and the communal activities in which they are involved. It explains the forces in 20th Century society that moved people to form and join communes. The author investigates the claim made by many commune members that the commune represents a viable alternative institution to that of the nuclear family, and considers the relevance of the commune movemen…
Frontstage and backstage emotion management in civil resistance
Civil resistance requires significant forms of emotion management by activists. In this paper, we distinguish between the different foci of emotion management carried out frontstage and backstage – the frontstage focus is typically oriented to influencing the emotions of onlookers, opponents and other targets, the backstage focus is typically concerned with managing the emotions of the activists themselves in preparation for their frontstage perf…

Redefining security – lessons from public health
In 2014, a group of people who knew each other as conflict transformation practitioners and professionals met at the Ammerdown Centre in Somerset to discuss emerging threats to human security in Br
Sea‐Dogs for Peace
Historically, nonviolent direct activists against oppression and injustice have sought to touch the emotions of targeted audiences by means of dramatic “image events.” Nowhere has this been more apparent than in the many examples of nonviolent maritime intervention where activists have taken to the sea to further their struggle against what they have defined as threats to human well‐being and the future of the planet. The history of such seaborne…

Promoting Co-Existence through Sacred Places in Sierra Leone

Motorists and others coming into Coventry, a medium‐sized city in the center of the U.K., find themselves greeted by boundary markers that read “ Welcome to the City of Coventry: City of Peace and Reconciliation .” The sign points to a local collective and municipal identity that is grounded in a particular interpretation of the history of the city. This representation constitutes an example of the manner in which a city's experience of the barba…

Sport Tourism as a Means of Reconciliation? The Case of India—Pakistan Cricket
Sport provides an opportunity for international contact both at the level of competitors and, in much larger numbers, of spectators. Where there has been a redrawing of political boundaries, often through war or bloody partition, the peoples involved may find sports matches a medium for reconciliation and redefinition of personal allegiances. Having reviewed the difficulties faced by the International Olympic Committee over the years and the stra…

Humanitarian assistance and conflict management
As part of their efforts to intervene constructively in conflict-affected regions, non-governmental agencies and associated research centres publish different types of literature intended to improve performance. This article provides an overview of this material and assesses its significance for a wider constituency of scholars and policy analysts. The literature falls into three main categories: 1) reviews of issues that agencies must address wh…

Training for Cosmopolitan Citizenship in the 1930s
Generations of peace seekers have sought an alternative modeling of the world beyond the Westphalian system of separate sovereign states. Recent global trends have raised the possibility of new institutional frameworks and processes for promoting world peace, including that of “cosmopolitan democracy.” If the utopian vision of cosmopolitan democracy is to become real, then the development of new political structures must be accompanied by a growi…

A peace symbol's origins
As most readers probably know, the Culture of Peace Program (CPP) holds a central place in UNESCO's agenda for the years leading up to the millennium. The Secretary‐General, Frederico Mayer, has depicted this project as follows: To counter the culture of war let us build a culture of peace, that is to say, a culture of social interaction based on the principles of freedom, justice and democracy, tolerance and solidarity, and respect for all human…
"Gram Swaraj " versus “Globalization”

Popular movements of resistance and the positive vision of “ gram swaraj .” This paper focuses on one such movement, the opposition to the spread of aquacultural enterprises along the southeastern coast of India.

Palestinian collaborators
In September 1993, Israel and the Palestine liberation Organization (PLO) agreed on a Declaration of Principles that set the framework for establishing limited Palestinian political authority over much of the Gaza Strip and an enclave around Jericho. As the interim Palestinian National Authority (PNA) extends its control over West Bank population centers, it will face huge problems of social, economic, and political reconstruction after decades o…
Unofficial Nonviolent Intervention
How can citizens of one country or region best intervene to affect the process and outcome of conflicts taking place in other parts of the world? Unofficial third party intervention by nonviolent means has often been too restricted in its focus and too frequently equated with direct physical intervention in the zone of conflict itself. Here a typology of different forms of unofficial nonviolent intervention is presented, based on three main crite…
Peace‐building in the Occupied Territories
In September 1993 an outline peace agreement was signed between Israel and the Palestinians. This represented a major step in the peacemaking process between two hostile parties, but since then hopes of progress have plummeted. Whatever the outcome of the current phase, it is clear that some kind of Palestinian political entity must be established if the minimal demands of the Palestinians are to be met. If such a political entity is to survive a…
"Coping with the "Epidemic of Violence
Since the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada in December 1987, the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have incurred many costs. Perhaps the most immediately obvious of these have been the injuries and casualties suffered at the hands of soldiers and settlers. The beatings, the teargassings, and the shootings have resulted in an unprecedented demand upon medical services and health care facilities in the occupied territories. The purpo…

Communes, Hippies et Religion sécularisées
A number of political commentators in the nineteenth century ptedicted the complete secularization of Btitain. It is paradoxical that the very institutional decline of traditional Christianity created new quests for religious significance out side the established frameworks of belief, symbol and practice. In particular, popular religion (including hippies, commune and youth movements) attempted to close the gap between the objective social struct…
