Development, War and Peace
By Lloyd J. Dumas, STRW
August 2006
Introduction
Development and peace have been two of the major concerns of national and international
political economy for more than fifty years. Yet there is considerable disagreement as to the
nature of the relationship between these two economic and political phenomena.
Some (such as the “liberals/neoliberals”) argue that development encourages peace. People in
better economic condition are less likely to initiate violent conflict both because they are more
content and because they have more to lose from the physical danger and economic disruption
that war brings. Others say that development discourages peace, either because the continued
development of some depends on their forceful suppression or control of others (as the
“dependency” theorists argue) or because development increases the capacity to build and
mobilize military power (as the “neo-realists” argue). Still others (such as the old-line “realists”)
argue that development and peace have no significant connection to each other.
In order to better understand the power and limits of the relationship between development
and peace — and in particular to explore whether development and peace naturally do, or can
be made to, reinforce each other ― it is useful to begin by setting the terms of reference. What
do we mean by “development”? What do we mean by “peace”? What do we mean by
“militarization”? And what do we mean by “war”?
Development. For many economists, development has been synonymous with economic
growth, seen as the secular expansion in the level of aggregate economic income or output,
typically measured by GNP or GDP. But I think it is important to distinguish between this kind of growth, which says nothing in particular about whether the material wellbeing of the broad
mass of the population is increasing, and development, with its connotations of improvement in
the quality of life.
Peace. The narrowest definition of peace is that it is simply the absence of war. But real peace
is more than that. A person who is not able to go about the ordinary business of life without
the constant threat of murderous violence, whether from uniformed soldiers, ragged rebel
forces, terrorists, or ordinary criminals cannot be said to be living in a state of peace.
Johan Galtung referred to the absence of war as “negative peace.” But Galtung argued that
there was a richer, more complex meaning of peace, “positive peace.” For it is not bullets and
bombs alone that kill and ma ...

The document discusses the impacts of armed conflict, noting that while combat-aged men are most often conscripted into battle, women are the primary victims of war both directly through injuries and deaths as well as indirectly through the breakdown of family and community structures. It also notes that armed conflict has severe health, economic, environmental, and social consequences for communities and nations.

This document discusses several factors that can contribute to international war and conflict between nations. It explores economic, political, and strategic reasons for wars, including disputes over resources like oil or territorial boundaries. Coalitions may form when countries align together for military strength against enemies. The document also examines specific cases like the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the Cold War, analyzing arguments around how economic and political interests on both sides helped fuel these conflicts. The conclusion is that while motives for war are complex, political and economic agendas often play significant roles, alongside other geopolitical considerations.
War and peace are two powerful forces that have been shaping civilizations. Every nation has gone through various degrees of conflicts. In this paper, the author asks what history lessons can be used to educate the public and policy makers on conflict prevention. If we were to avoid repeating the mistakes and wars of the past, the author believes new innovative approaches are needed for solving old problems of conflicts within a nation and between nations. Alongside current steps to promote social order, the psychology of war and peace must be adequately looked into and utilized in forming the needed policies.
This document discusses the topic of war and explores various perspectives on its morality and human costs. It provides an overview of just war theory and criteria, references debates around recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and examines perspectives from the Catholic Church and others questioning the acceptability of modern warfare. It also compares global military spending to alternative uses of funds that could alleviate poverty and human suffering. The document advocates that peace should be prioritized over war and questions why more is spent on preparing for violence rather than non-violent solutions and human needs.

Globalisation & Law Final Assignment (Distinction)Sue Stone
- Globalization has both positively and negatively impacted failed states in sub-Saharan Africa according to different theorists. Stiglitz argues that IMF policies have harmed states through austerity measures and liberalization, while others note a lack of political and legal infrastructure has also contributed to failures.
- Failed states struggle due to internal conflicts often related to control over natural resources for income, as well as predatory governing elites that centralize power and wealth. Reliance on primary exports also concentrates wealth among elites.
- Moving beyond primary industries and attracting private capital through manufacturing could help states integrate into the global economy, but most states have not seen sufficient investment to create self-sustaining industry growth
In this paper I examine the development effects of military coups. Whereas previous economic literature has primarily viewed coups as a form of broader political instability, less research has focused on its development consequences independent of the factors making coups more likely. Moreover, previous research tends to group coups together regardless of whether they overthrew autocratic or democratically-elected leaders. I first show that coups overthrowing democratically elected leaders imply a very different kind of event than those overthrowing autocratic leaders. These differences relate to the implementation of authoritarian institutions following a coup in a democracy, which I discuss in several case studies. Second, I address the endogeneity of coups by comparing the growth consequences of failed and successful coup as well as matching and panel data methods, which yield similar results. Although coups taking place in already autocratic countries show imprecise and sometimes positive effects on economic growth, in democracies their effects are distinctly detrimental to growth. When overthrowing democratic leaders, coups not only fail to promote economic reforms or stop the occurrence of economic crises, but they also have substantial negative effects across a number of standard growth-related outcomes including health, education, and investment.

Comments on the human security aspect of the poverty reduction guidelinesKayode Fayemi
The document discusses the human security dimension of poverty reduction guidelines. It analyzes four typical policy levers proposed in the guidelines: 1) Support for peace building and reconstruction, 2) Support for state monopoly of means of coercion, 3) Promoting social coherence through civil society and tolerance, and 4) Building assets against disasters and economic shocks. However, the document argues that the assumptions and focus on the state in the guidelines provide an incomplete picture in Africa given increasing state illegitimacy. A human security approach requires considering non-state actors and the complex local and international dimensions driving conflicts on the continent.

To say we are in interesting times would be an understatement, the recent general election has
plunged us further into uncertainty. Putting aside the rights and wrongs of holding the election
and the unfolding political alliances it’s important to remember that on the ground people and
businesses are struggling to keep up with the changes and the potential impact. Most of us get on
with our lives despite the national turmoil. But the effect of that turmoil is to dampen investment
and decision making; which slows growth. Latest research by the Institute of Directors highlights
that 92% of respondents see current uncertainty over the make-up of the government as a
concern. There has been a negative swing of 34 points in confidence in the UK economy from
their last survey in May. This has serious implications for business growth, as how we interpret
and perceive our future, our risk aversion and our need to have good information to make
decisions can stifle our ability to act.
The national situation we are seeing unfold, in terms of lack of clear majority for either side, and
regardless of eventual party outcome, will be a government relying on a brokered deal to get
things through parliament which will exacerbate this uncertainty and the impact of Brexit fears.
So where can we look to for leadership?
A recent blog by the World Economic Forum has highlighted that in many places the nation state
is looking outdated, and even dangerous. Where power is too centralised and focussed on
national interests, policy is disengaged from the local, from the day to day lives of people and
businesses. The populist movement we are seeing globally is a reaction to this; dissatisfaction
with the way countries are governed creates turbulence in the current way of thinking and doing,
and challenges political structures. Shifting of decision making to a more local level eases
tensions as people see change locally and impact can be seen quicker. Cities are therefore
emerging as key leadership nodes, galvanising action and responding to local need. Focussing on
regional economic growth and giving powers and funding to local delivery structures to improve
growth can help alleviate the social and political tensions that have led us down this unfortunate
path to instability.

Military Coups; To Snuff The Fire Of The Phoenixrichienyhus
The document discusses different types of military coups based on conflicts within society and within the military. It argues that coups are caused by both societal conflicts, such as struggles over values, modernization, and corruption transferring wealth to elites, as well as military conflicts like defending the military's autonomy and corporate interests from threats. The military has various motivations for intervening in politics including upholding societal values, preserving autonomy from civilian interference, and protecting factional or personal interests of military members. Legitimacy is an important secondary factor that militaries use to gain support for coups.
From despotism to neo militarism - transition without transformation in niger...Kayode Fayemi
The document discusses Nigeria's transition from military to democratic rule that began in 1999. It argues that the transition may not represent a true democratic dawn due to the military's legacy of control over politics and the economy. Under past military regimes like those of Babangida and Abacha, the military consolidated power by gaining control of businesses and the financial sector. Many see the current transition as allowing the military to maintain influence behind a civilian facade. The transition may fail to establish true democracy and represent only a repackaging of controlled military politics.
This document is a 14,983 word dissertation submitted by David John Fowler to the University of Aberdeen for the degree of M.Sc. in Strategic Studies. The dissertation argues that a failure to recognize the ubiquitous political nature of war and strategy can lead to strategic failure.
Chapter 1 discusses debates around whether war is a political or cultural phenomenon. It argues that while culture influences war, the underlying motivation is usually political - to gain or retain power. Chapter 2 examines differing views of "victory" between military and political actors. Chapter 3 shows how divergent views can damage civil-military relations and strategy.
The dissertation concludes that strategic failure results when either policymakers fail to understand strategy requires allocating resources,
This document provides an introduction and overview to Noam Chomsky's book "Deterring Democracy" which examines US foreign policy in the post-Cold War era. The introduction discusses how the US remains the dominant military power globally despite its declining economic strength relative to Europe and Japan. It argues this imbalance could lead the US to increasingly rely on force rather than diplomacy to maintain its dominance. The document also outlines how the book will examine the interplay between freedom and control in democratic societies and how concepts of democracy are applied in US foreign policy.
War has significant negative economic impacts according to the document. It increases national debt, shrinks economies, causes hyperinflation and diverts resources from productive uses. Infrastructure is destroyed, the labor force is disrupted and GDP declines sharply. The legacy of war includes debt, unemployment and depressed economic growth. However, some positive effects are innovation and changes to social attitudes. The document recommends pursuing peace using measures like the Global Peace Index and developing societies based on eight pillars of peace including sound business environment and gender equality.
1. The document presents a model analyzing the conditions under which mass killings and civil war intensity may reinforce each other or act as substitute forms of strategic violence.
2. The model considers how population size, natural resources, state capacity, and international intervention may impact the likelihood and level of mass killings.
3. Mass killings are more likely under conditions of low state capacity and productivity, high natural resources, and when international pressure for fairness is moderate rather than tight.
What role does liberalism play within security studiesCalum Rogers
Liberalism plays a key role in security studies by advocating for an international system of order, liberty, justice and toleration. Liberal theories emphasize free trade between nations, democratic peace, and international organizations to resolve conflicts constitutionally. However, critics argue international institutions have limited ability to prevent war between powerful states. Additionally, some countries view liberal policies as detrimental to their security interests.

ABSTRACT
Managing IT security and assurance is a top priority for organizations. Aware of the costs associated with a security or privacy
breach, organizations are constantly vigilant about protecting their data and IT systems. In addition, organizations are
investing heavily in IT resources to keep up with the challenges of managing their IT security and assurance. Therefore, the IT
industry relies greatly on the U.S. higher education system to produce a qualified and competent workforce to manage security
challenges. This advisory discusses some security challenges faced by global companies and provides input into the design
and delivery of IS curriculum to effectively meet such challenges.
Keywords: Information assurance and security, Curriculum design and development, Computer security
1. INTRODUCTION
Information security and assurance management is vital for
the success of organizations. It is particularly relevant for
global companies whose customers demand a high level of
security for their products. Meeting such high expectations
requires companies to study security best practices,
continually invest in technical and human resources, and
implement a secure corporate environment. The goal of this
paper is to discuss some security challenges faced by global
organizations and to provide suggestions to IS academics
concerning security curriculum to effectively educate the
next generation IT workforce to meet these challenges.
2. SECURITY CHALLENGES FACED BY GLOBAL
COMPANIES
This advisory focuses on security challenges faced by global
companies. For instance, security challenges faced by a
multinational company operating manufacturing plants in
several countries are likely to be much different than those of
a company with a manufacturing plant in a single location.
The goal of this section is to present some security
challenges faced by global companies.
What many companies do in terms of security is driven
by the needs of their customers. For instance, consider the
case of a global manufacturing company that makes
hardware for a smart card. Smart cards include embedded
integrated circuits and customers generally provide the
manufacturer with a detailed list of functional and assurance
requirements for security. The manufacturer of the hardware
is expected to comply with the specifications of the
customer. If the company decides to manufacture in two
plants in Europe and the U.S., it becomes important for the
manufacturer to have uniform security standards in both
plants. These security standards may include many aspects

War has significant negative economic impacts according to the document. It increases national debt, shrinks economies, causes hyperinflation and diverts resources from productive uses. Infrastructure is destroyed, the labor force is disrupted and GDP declines sharply. The legacy of war includes debt, unemployment and depressed economic growth. However, some positive effects are innovation and changes to social attitudes. The document recommends pursuing peace using measures like the Global Peace Index and developing societies based on eight pillars of peace including sound business environment and gender equality.
1. The document presents a model analyzing the conditions under which mass killings and civil war intensity may reinforce each other or act as substitute forms of strategic violence.
2. The model considers how population size, natural resources, state capacity, and international intervention may impact the likelihood and level of mass killings.
3. Mass killings are more likely under conditions of low state capacity and productivity, high natural resources, and when international pressure for fairness is moderate rather than tight.
What role does liberalism play within security studiesCalum Rogers
Liberalism plays a key role in security studies by advocating for an international system of order, liberty, justice and toleration. Liberal theories emphasize free trade between nations, democratic peace, and international organizations to resolve conflicts constitutionally. However, critics argue international institutions have limited ability to prevent war between powerful states. Additionally, some countries view liberal policies as detrimental to their security interests.
Warmongering is a scourge that ought to be rooted out but because developed nations need to sell their military hardware for a profit they resort to manufacturing war by meddling in the internal affairs of nations.

ABSTRACT
Managing IT security and assurance is a top priority for organizations. Aware of the costs associated with a security or privacy
breach, organizations are constantly vigilant about protecting their data and IT systems. In addition, organizations are
investing heavily in IT resources to keep up with the challenges of managing their IT security and assurance. Therefore, the IT
industry relies greatly on the U.S. higher education system to produce a qualified and competent workforce to manage security
challenges. This advisory discusses some security challenges faced by global companies and provides input into the design
and delivery of IS curriculum to effectively meet such challenges.
Keywords: Information assurance and security, Curriculum design and development, Computer security
1. INTRODUCTION
Information security and assurance management is vital for
the success of organizations. It is particularly relevant for
global companies whose customers demand a high level of
security for their products. Meeting such high expectations
requires companies to study security best practices,
continually invest in technical and human resources, and
implement a secure corporate environment. The goal of this
paper is to discuss some security challenges faced by global
organizations and to provide suggestions to IS academics
concerning security curriculum to effectively educate the
next generation IT workforce to meet these challenges.
2. SECURITY CHALLENGES FACED BY GLOBAL
COMPANIES
This advisory focuses on security challenges faced by global
companies. For instance, security challenges faced by a
multinational company operating manufacturing plants in
several countries are likely to be much different than those of
a company with a manufacturing plant in a single location.
The goal of this section is to present some security
challenges faced by global companies.
What many companies do in terms of security is driven
by the needs of their customers. For instance, consider the
case of a global manufacturing company that makes
hardware for a smart card. Smart cards include embedded
integrated circuits and customers generally provide the
manufacturer with a detailed list of functional and assurance
requirements for security. The manufacturer of the hardware
is expected to comply with the specifications of the
customer. If the company decides to manufacture in two
plants in Europe and the U.S., it becomes important for the
manufacturer to have uniform security standards in both
plants. These security standards may include many aspects

African Americans men are at a greater risk for developing prostate .docxkatherncarlyle
African Americans men are at a greater risk for developing prostate cancer than the white men. In every six individuals from this ethnic group, there is one who is at risk of developing prostate cancer in their lifetime. African Americans are 1.8 times more exposed to the risk of developing the disease and 2.2 times more likely succumb from this disease as compared to white men. The increase in the higher risk of prostate cancer among Africa Americans is linked to socioeconomic status. There is a lower socioeconomic status of African Americans and this exposing to high cases of prostate cancer as a result of poor medical check-up and poor healthcare outcomes (Owens et al., 2014).
There are also racial biases and this is harming African Americans in terms of preventive care since they have lower chances of being provided with the PSA test. Recent studies reveal that men from this ethnic group are unlikely to have early diagnosis for the prostate cancer. They are also not likely to be treated in time for the disease like the white men. There are several treatment options and learning sources about the options for prostate cancer. Therefore, the evidence-based, primary care health promotion recommendation to deal with prostate cancer among African Americans involves the prevention programs that are tailored to African Americans to help in the reduction of health disparities (Jackson, Owens, Friedman, & Dubose-Morris, 2015).
There is a need to incorporate culturally suitable and targeted messages and the images, the performance of faith-based initiatives, and the delivery of the educational programs in non-traditional venues for example the common place where people gather. It is also important to include key partners and the stakeholder in the planning, implementation, and assessment of the health and the cancer educational programs to help in the improvement of the health of the community and supporting community engagement. The development of the IDM education program for African American families through working with the community and the clinical partners is helping in the reduction of prostate cancer diseases (Jackson et al., 2015).

AdultGeriatric DepressionIntroduction According to Mace.docxkatherncarlyle
Adult/Geriatric Depression
Introduction
According to Mace et al. (2017), geriatric depression disorder is a health condition that affects adult people with the main symptoms see for a patient with the condition being the frequent change in moods and the sadness. The condition is as well common among younger people although this is not a common health issue. As a result of the impact of the condition, there is a need for getting an understanding of the condition and the best medical process that is to be followed. With the treatment of the patients there is a need for understanding the fact that if one medication does not succeed, there is a need for implementation of a new medication or change of the prescription for the patient. This paper focuses on the options chosen for managing the conditions for a patient.
Symptoms of adult/geriatric depression disorder
A patient with geriatric depression disorder will be seen to have issues of mood swings as the main symptoms of the condition. The other symptoms that will be evident will include issues of the feeling of despair and sad and the patient will have issues of pain and aches in all parts of the body. Laird et al. (2019) allude that a patient with the health condition will have risks of loss of appetite and lack of hope or lacking any willingness to get help. There are risks of the patient as well as lacking any morale in improving their condition.
Causes
Vlasova et al. (2019) allude that one of the main risk factors that increased the chance of a patient getting geriatric depression is old age. As such, a patient who is old will be at high risk of being affected by the health condition. The other risk factor is that women are at higher risk of suffering from the health issue as compared to their male counterparts. The people who have a low-level education as well as those that have physical illnesses and influencing the standard of thinking of the person.
Thus, there is a need for healthcare providers to help in the education of the patients who are at risk of suffering from the health condition. The patients who are found to be making use of various drugs and that have psychological stressors are at high risk of being affected by the health concern. The patients as well may lead to affecting the patients who have white matter changes.
Patient case
This is a case of 32-year-old patients of Hispanic origin and who came to the US for his education. The patient has his mother passing on while he was in school and ended up being admitted to the healthcare facility as a result of depression issues. On having an assessment, it is found that the patient does not suffer from any other health issue and the patient has presented that he has had pain and stiff parts of the body.
There are various signs and symptoms expressed by the patient with the main issue faced by the patient being undermined as a result of the color of his skin. There is evidence of the patient having little socializa.

Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

Development, War and Peace
By Lloyd J. Dumas, STRW
August 2006
Introduction
Development and peace have been two of the major concerns of
national and international
political economy for more than fifty years. Yet there is
considerable disagreement as to the
nature of the relationship between these two economic and
political phenomena.
Some (such as the “liberals/neoliberals”) argue that
development encourages peace. People in
better economic condition are less likely to initiate violent
conflict both because they are more
content and because they have more to lose from the physical
danger and economic disruption
that war brings. Others say that development discourages peace,
either because the continued
development of some depends on their forceful suppression or
control of others (as the
“dependency” theorists argue) or because development increases
2. the capacity to build and
mobilize military power (as the “neo-realists” argue). Still
others (such as the old-line “realists”)
argue that development and peace have no significant
connection to each other.
In order to better understand the power and limits of the
relationship between development
and peace — and in particular to explore whether development
and peace naturally do, or can
be made to, reinforce each other ― it is useful to begin by
setting the terms of reference. What
do we mean by “development”? What do we mean by “peace”?
What do we mean by
“militarization”? And what do we mean by “war”?
Development. For many economists, development has been
synonymous with economic
growth, seen as the secular expansion in the level of aggregate
economic income or output,
typically measured by GNP or GDP. But I think it is important
to distinguish between this kind of growth, which says nothing
in particular about whether the material wellbeing of the broad
mass of the population is increasing, and development, with its
connotations of improvement in
the quality of life.
Peace. The narrowest definition of peace is that it is simply the
absence of war. But real peace
is more than that. A person who is not able to go about the
ordinary business of life without
the constant threat of murderous violence, whether from
uniformed soldiers, ragged rebel
forces, terrorists, or ordinary criminals cannot be said to be
living in a state of peace.
Johan Galtung referred to the absence of war as “negative
peace.” But Galtung argued that
there was a richer, more complex meaning of peace, “positive
peace.” For it is not bullets and
3. bombs alone that kill and maim people. There is also such a
thing as “structural violence”,
violence that is built into the structure of political, social and
economic systems. People who
die of malnutrition in a world with more than enough food; who
are blinded, crippled or killed
by preventable diseases; who are subject to torture and abuse;
who become the targets of
vicious crimes committed by desperate, marginalized people —
these are not the victims of war.
They are the victims of structural violence. Yet they are just as
damaged, just as dead as those
we count as war casualties. Positive peace is more than just the
absence of war. It is the
presence of decency.
Militarization. Militarization is a process by which military
values are exalted and military
institutions become dominant in a society. Military values
emphasize obedience to authority,
loyalty, forceful and aggressive behavior, and the threat and use
of violence as a means of
settling disputes and achieving objectives. Military institutions
can become dominant by
directly seizing and wielding political power. Even the credible
threat of taking such action is
sometimes enough to keep civilian authorities under de-facto
military control.
Of course, there are many degrees of militarization. But it is
important to emphasize that the
mere possession of a military, even a large and well-funded
military, does not by itself establish
that a society is militarized. The degree of militarization of a
society is positively related to the
degree to which military values are emphasized in the culture,
and negatively related to the
extent to which civilian political authorities are not only
4. formally, but also actively and
effectively in control of military commanders and forces.
War. Finally, war is not just a rhetorical term for a determined
struggle against something, as in
Lyndon B. Johnson’s “war on poverty”, George W. Bush’s “war
on terrorism”, or the infamous
and ongoing “war on drugs.” War is a brutal and deadly
manifestation of mass organized
violence.
According to Michael Brzoska, “All major definitions of war . .
. have three common core
elements: there needs to be fighting; such fighting is conducted
by organized groups; and at
least one of the parties has to be the government.” By such a
definition, there were more than
110 million people killed in more than 250 wars during the
twentieth century alone. It is almost
a measure of the modernity of war how large a fraction of war-
related deaths are made up of
civilians. In World War I, only about five percent of those
killed were civilians; in World War II, it
was close to 50 percent. In wars fought in the 1960s, it is
estimated that civilians accounted for
more than 60 percent of war dead; in those fought in the 1980s,
the estimate is nearly 75
percent.
Militarization and War as Impediments to Development
Destruction and Disruption. Wars interfere directly with
economic development by destroying
productive economic resources, both capital and labor,
especially within the territory of the
nations where they are fought. Wars can also make it difficult to
carry on ordinary economic
activity in areas that are part of the war zone. Part of the reason
for famine in conflict-plagued
5. areas, such as the Horn of Africa, is the disruption of
agricultural activities that results when
farmers are literally afraid to go out into the fields because of
the possibility that they will be
injured or killed, intentionally or by accident, by one or another
of the armed combatants.
Resource Diversion. In the midst of war, production or
acquisition of the supplies needed to
sustain the war effort, whether they are specialized to military
use (such as weapons and
ammunition) or more generally useful (such as food and fuel), is
usually given higher priority
than provision of ordinary goods and services for the civilian
population. In less developed
countries, where the quantity and quality of consumer goods and
services and the capital
needed to produce them are less than abundant, this pre-emption
of provisions is particularly
problematic. Often enough, it is not just the government that
takes these provisions through
ordinary means, but also rebel forces and other armed gangs
that forcefully expropriate what
they want or need. Under these conditions, development
inevitably suffers.
In militarized societies, even in the absence of war, valuable
productive resources and their
outputs are channeled with priority to what I have elsewhere
called “economically noncontributive
activity” in the military sector. Taking the central purpose of
the economy to be
providing material wellbeing, all activities that use resources to
produce goods and services can
be divided into one of two categories ― those that contribute to
that purpose and those that
do not. Since consumer goods and services raise the present
material standard of living, while
6. producer goods and services raise the future standard of living
by increasing the economy’s
capacity to produce, the activities involved in providing both
are “economically contributive.”
On the other hand, whatever else may be said for battle tanks,
fighter planes, missiles, artillery,
and the services soldiers provide, they do not add to present
material wellbeing as consumer
goods do, or to the economy's capacity to produce standard-of-
living goods and services in the
future, as producer goods do. Military goods and services are
produced in the belief that they
enhance physical security. Though the purposes for which they
are produced may be
important, and these goods and services may be very useful for
the purposes they serve, they
do not directly contribute to increasing material wellbeing, the
central purpose of the economy.
It is logical, then, to classify them as “economically non-
contributive.” Military-oriented activity
is only one of many forms of non-contributive activity, but
today, closing in on two decades after
the end of the Cold War, it is still one of the largest and most
important in the world.
The tax base is generally much smaller and the difficulties of
actually collecting taxes much
greater in developing countries than in the more developed
world. Access to developmentoriented
foreign capital — whether in the form of grants, loans or
foreign direct investment — is
also more limited, especially in countries that are conflict-
ridden or politically unstable. The
diversion of public funds, including limited hard currency
reserves, to military spending further
reduces the government’s ability to finance capital investments
vital to development.
7. Virtually by definition, militarized societies are also likely to
slight or completely overlook
nonmilitary options for dealing with what they perceive as
threats to their internal or external
security. Domestic unrest, disaffection and dissidence tend to be
seen as threats best dealt with
by force, rather than by negotiation or a serious attempt to try
to understand and address the
underlying causes. More often than not this eventually
exacerbates the underlying problems,
strengthens grievances and gives rise to political instability,
terrorism or rebellion. Similarly,
disagreements between militarized states are also seen as
calling for a hard, forceful, even
aggressive response that increases the probability of armed
conflict. All of this creates
conditions that are antithetical to development.
Inhibition of Political and Economic Freedom. Militarization
also constrains political and
economic development by interfering with political and
economic freedom. For Amartya Sen,
the relationship between freedom and development is
straightforward: “Freedoms are not only
the primary ends of development, they are also among its
principal means.” Anything that
interferes with political and economic freedom therefore
interferes with development.
Militarization interferes with political freedom in a number of
ways. The formal institutions of
liberal democracy and informal traditions of democratic civil
society have little room to operate
within the authoritarian structure of military and paramilitary
organizations. Freestanding,
independent organizations of soldiers that might serve as
alternative centers of power and
influence cannot be tolerated. Debate about policies, strategies
8. and tactics is severely
circumscribed. While militaries encourage the positive values of
courage, teamwork and
dedication, their culture of obedience and discipline, their
formal hierarchical command
structure, and their tradition of rank and privilege are not
conducive to either the open
discourse or the freedom of action that is essential to civil
democracy.
The concentration of political power is inconsistent with
political freedom. Militarization
provides both the physical means to promote the concentration
of political power and the
values that justify the use of those means. As political power
becomes more concentrated
within a nation, the number of channels available for the
expression of alternative political
viewpoints shrinks. With fewer and fewer acceptable outlets,
the pressure from those who
dissent builds, and those in power find it increasingly necessary
to control them in order to
remain in power. Military force is often the most ready means
of repression available. The
more militarized societies become, the more commonplace and
routine is this reflexive reaction
to political opposition.
Militarization also aids and abets the concentration of economic
power, which is inconsistent
with economic freedom. In societies with vastly unequal
distributions of wealth and income, if
the rich do not actually run the government, they certainly exert
disproportionate influence on
its policies and actions. They are ordinarily in a position to see
to it that the instruments of
control and repression at the disposal of the government ―
including military force ― are used
9. to protect and reinforce their own positions of economic
privilege. This may be accomplished
through the unapologetic use of brute force, or through the
simple enforcement of "rights" or
laws structured to their advantage.
In militarized, authoritarian societies, it is not difficult for
those who wield concentrated supplyside
economic power to covertly encourage or directly arrange for
the use of force to intimidate
their workers or their smaller, less influential suppliers or
rivals. Special tax breaks and
government subsidies, all too easy to arrange even in liberal
democracies, are that much easier
to come by in societies whose inequalities and concentrations of
power make the granting of
further privilege to the rich and powerful almost a matter of
course. All this greatly distorts
markets, interferes with economic freedom, and impedes
economic development.
The inherently undemocratic and hierarchical structure and
values of militarized societies also
make them unlikely to support any policy that works to counter
the concentration of wealth and
economic power. Neither redistributive tax and income transfer
policy nor aggressive antitrust
policy is likely to find a sympathetic hearing. There is little or
no incentive for those few who sit
on top of the economic or political pyramid to encourage a
wider distribution of either
economic or political largesse, beyond the minimal point that
might prove necessary to forestall
riots in the streets.
If war and militarization create so many obstacles to
development, it is logical that peace and
demilitarization can help to remove them. Even negative peace
avoids the destruction and
10. disruption of war, making it possible for people to engage in the
ordinary activities that support
production and consumption without constant fear of getting
caught in the cross-fire or seeing
all that they worked long and hard to create reduced to rubble in
a matter of minutes. Positive
peace implies a more equitable distribution of political power
and economic power, both of
which are important in encouraging real political and economic
development.
When there is peace and demilitarization, there is less
compulsion to divert enormous amounts
of productive economic resources to support the buildup and use
of military force as a means of
exerting power and influence in the world. Resources freed from
this economically noncontributive
use become available for the kinds of contributive production
and investment that
are crucial to economic development. The demilitarization of a
society supports political
freedom by reducing the availability of repressive force to those
who might be tempted to use it
to concentrate political power in their own hands, as well as by
de-legitimizing the use of force
for such purposes.
The Limits of the Virtuous Circle
By removing the impediments to development that
militarization and war produce,
demilitarization and peace help create the conditions that
support and encourage economic
and political development. The first and perhaps most obvious
is that demilitarization and peace may facilitate both economic
and political development, but they do not guarantee them.
For economic development to be self-sustaining, or even viable,
a sufficient quantity and quality of productive
resources must be channeled into a web of mutually reinforcing
11. investments in human and
physical capital. Among these, the right mix of programs of
education, health care,
infrastructure capital formation, and investment in production
capital are the most important.
All of these programs are expensive. Militarization and war
divert or destroy considerable
quantities of the required resources, making economic
development exceedingly difficult to
achieve. But the fact that demilitarization and peace make the
necessary resources more
available does not by itself assure that they will be effectively
mobilized and properly used.
Corruption can also divert vast quantities of critical resources,
undermining development. So
can utter incompetence, corruption’s first cousin.
Even the presence of sufficient foreign development aid to make
up for any deficits in requisite
resources domestically available does not guarantee successful
development. The effectiveness
of foreign development assistance can also be crippled by
corruption and incompetence. More
than that, in the face of the best intentions of donor
organizations and recipient governments,
poorly designed and implemented development assistance
programs can undermine
development by actually encouraging corruption and failing to
penalize incompetence. Ill-conceived
projects, backed by the authority of high status donor
organizations and
governments, have also been known to direct the attention and
resources of recipient
governments away from projects that might look less impressive
but are actually far more
important to effective development.
Corruption has been a central issue in the international
12. development community since the late
1990s, when the World Bank and other international
organizations launched anti-corruption
missions worldwide. Most of the discussion to date has centered
on how practices within
recipient governments of less developed (and transitional
countries) have interfered with their
political and economic progress. But it is worth noting that
problems with the ethics of
economic development advisers and/or development
organizations, and corruption originating
in some of the practices of the developed world have also
interfered with the progress of less
developed countries.
Conclusions
It is clear that in a number of very important ways, peace does
facilitate development, and
development does facilitate peace. This mutually reinforcing
relationship is a “virtuous” circle in
both senses of the word. But it is tentative, even fragile, and
must be carefully nurtured. Care
must be taken to create the conditions that can help make the
circle stronger and more robust.
This first of all requires a greater appreciation for the fact that
the circle exists, that there
actually is a positive feedback loop between development and
peace. If people can be
convinced that encouraging development is not just a good thing
to do, but also a serious and
important part of national security strategy, it should be much
easier to build political support
for policies that encourage real development, and thus mobilize
the economic resources
6
necessary. So much the better if they can also be convinced that
by virtue of its effects in
13. promoting peace, improving the level of development in other
parts of the world would also
raise their own economic status.
In the end, the fact that there is a virtuous circle between
development and peace makes it
easier to achieve both. That is encouraging. But it does not
relieve us of either the
responsibility or the hard work required to make this hopeful
connection effective. The good
news is we do not need to cling so tightly to the threat or use of
military force as a guarantor of
security, and continue to trade off our economic wellbeing and
our civil liberties against our
deeply felt need to be safe. We can, at the same time, make this
world more prosperous, freer
and more secure.
