This dazzlingly original collaboration between two international authors focuses on 20 macrohistorians—that is to say, historians who have helped shape our entire way of conceiving ourselves—from Ssu-Ma Ch'ien and Ibn Khaldun to Oswald Spengler and Marx and Piritim Sorokin and Arnold Toynbee. The authors move toward a general theory of grand social change based on the writings of these macrohistorians and provide a comparative view of macrohistory and sociology.The book brings a cross-cultural and transhistorical perspective to the study of social change, analyzing macrohistorians and macrohistory comparatively and synthetically, from the traditional linear-cyclical divide as well as including broader transcendental and feminist approaches. Like a road map par excellence for the study of civilizational change, the book captures the panoramic sweep of history and helps readers learn to appreciate, and henceforth include in the circle of greats, those non-Western thinkers whose work they may until now have neglected.^L ^L Johan Galtung, Sohail Inayatullah, and the other contributors to ^IMacrohistory and Macrohistorians^R demonstrate that each generation may give new perspectives to ideas that we thought we understood. The book covers the vital perspective out of which the 21st century emerges, and in the cases of Sorokin, Toynbee, and Eisler, deals with theories directly bearing on the potential shape of the next thousand years. It brings a cross-cultural and transhistorical perspective to the study of social change and will be of considerable interest to historians and sociologists as well as students of philosophy, historiography, and political science.

This book, first published in 1973, analyses the European Community in a global perspective. It asks and answers two main questions: what does the European Community mean to the masses of the world, and what does it mean to the world community in general? Most critical studies of the EC were made from an internal point of view, and this book is rare in having an external perspective. The author discussed the EC with diverse audiences in 16 countries, and his analyses are invaluable in putting the European project in an international context.

Johan Galtung, one of the founders of modern peace studies, provides a wide-ranging panorama of the ideas, theories and assumptions on which the study of peace is based.

The book is organized in four parts, each examining the one of the four major theoretical approaches to peace. The first part covers peace theory, exploring the epistemological assumptions of peace. In Part Two conflict theory is examined with an exploration of nonviolent and creative handling of conflict. Developmental theory is discussed in Part Three, exploring structural violence, particularly in the economic field, together with a consideration of the ways of overcoming that violence. The fourth part is devoted to civilization theory. This involves an exploration of cultural violence focusing on the deeper aspects of cultures. Finally, the threads of these four approaches are drawn together with a focus on peace action - peace by peaceful means.

This book is about the role of geography and civilization in past, present, and future world politics, developed in the mid-1980s Geographically the world had been badly served by a division into three parts: “free” meaning capitalist, socialist, and the poor “Third World”; East, West, and South. Left out was a Fourth World in the Southeast, with China, Japan, and other countries taking the world by surprise, first the Japanese miracle, then China. There is more to come.Civilizationally the Northwest is Catholic-Protestant-secular; the Northeast Orthodox-secular, Muslim, and Hindu; the Southeast Daoist and Buddhist. Civilizations leave strong imprints on the worlds and their relations. One of them, Western civilization (but also Islam) sees itself with the right and duty to impost itself on others, even eliminating them.Based on this analysis and diagnosis, the book offers a view into the future, a prognosis, and proposals for strategy away from war, toward peace.This book is intended for students and specialists in international relations as an overview seen from the world, not one particular region.

Schenke deinem Gegner Vertrauen! Nütze nicht die Schwächen des Gegners aus!Das sind zwei der 25 von Galtung und Naess 1955 sorgfältig aus Gandhis Schriften und Lebenserfahrungen abgeleiteten Richtlinien, mit denen er in Südafrika und Indien so große Erfolge erzielte und Pioniere der politischen Gewaltfreiheit wie Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela oder Andreas Buro beeindruckte. Letzterer hatte die Zusammenfassung der Satyagraha-Normen immer bei sich während seiner zahlreichen Friedensmissionen. Dieses erste große Werk schrieb der Begründer der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung, Johan Galtung, als Kriegsdienstverweigerer im Gefängnis, in Kooperation mit dem 18 Jahre älteren norwegischen Philosophen Arne Næss. Es erlebte in Norwegen drei Auflagen, wurde aber nie übersetzt und blieb daher in der deutschen Forschung zur Gewaltfreiheit bis jetzt unbeachtet.Die deutsche Ausgabe bietet die zentralen Kapitel des Buches von 1955 und gibt einen Überblick über das Gesamtwerk.Mit Beiträgen vonJohan Galtung und Arne Naess, mit einer Einleitung und Fußnoten von Reiner Steinweg

Boken redogör för grunderna för sociala rörelser som en samhällsförändrande kraft. Det handlar om människor som går samman och utför ett ideellt arbete för förbättrade villkor på olika områden.

Världens utveckling är inte ekologiskt hållbar, främst beroende av överanvändningen av fossila bränslen. Därav risken för en framtida klimatkatastrof och en energichock när oljan sinar. Men som visas i denna bok är utvecklingen inte heller hållbar i ekonomiskt, socialt och kulturellt hänseende. Finansindustrin och den ekonomiska tillväxtmodellen behöver reformeras och de farliga sociala klyftorna utjämnas. Om så inte sker kommer våra barn och barnbarn att få betala ett högt pris, kanske också vi som lever nu.

Är världens styrande eliter villiga och kapabla att leda den stora omställningen till ett hållbart samhälle på egen hand? Många tvivlar och en del rentav förtvivlar. Men det finns också medborgare som inte ger upp utan tar saken i egna händer och tillsammans med likasinnade börjar bygga det hållbara samhället underifrån.

Bokens första del handlar om utmaningarna, den andra delen om vår tids konstruktiva gräsrotsrörelser och den tredje visar vad gräsrötterna kan åstadkomma när de bygger ekosamhällen på eget initiativ.

Detta är en lättillgänglig och engagerande antologi grundad i aktuell forskning. Den riktar sig till studenter på grund- och avancerad nivå med ett hållbarhetsintresse och till dem som är engagerade i olika gröna rörelser samt till en upplyst allmänhet.
