Third world voices redefining peace
A special issue of Peace Review on “Third World Peace Perspectives” presents a profound paradox because the title is both important and problematic. It suggests, on the one hand, that the Third World exists as a category and that people who live there have a distinct perspective on peace.

The Politics of Heresy
Heresy ad orthodoxy, it is argued here, are two aspects of the social process within which belief systems are defined and articulated. A number of characteristics of heresy are outlined: it is both near and remote at the same time, and the heretic is a deviant insider. Heresy has social origins but in turn influences social arrangements. The heresy hunt, in which heresy is labeled and heretics are suppressed, serves as an anxiety-relieving ritual…
