Introduction:

In a world of ever more powerful and potentially destructive technology, that is increasingly interdependent, it is vitally important that we find nonviolence ways to resolve our conflicts.

Other Topics:

See a summary article on the evolution of "Six Types of Peace" in Western and global peace research, by Paul Smoker and Linda Groff. Note that each type of peace builds on the previous types--including these and adding an additional element, until peace finally becomes a very holistic, multi-level and multi-dimensional entity. Note that each of these six types of peace has a corresponding type of nonviolence that goes with it. These six types of peace include:

• Peace as absense of war
• Peace as Balance of Forces (Military, Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Etc.) in the International System
• Peace as Negative Peace (No Physical Violence or War) and Positive Peace (No Structural Violence in the International System or in States on the Macro Level)
• Feminist Peace as No Structural Violence on Macro Levels or Micro Levels (of the Family or Community)
• Holistic Gaia Peace--adding Peace with the Environment
• Holistic Inner-Outer Peace--adding Inner Peace to all the previous types of outer peace (above).
