In light of the United States' "age of terrorism" and the
controversial involvement in the war in Iraq, U.S. policies toward
diplomatic peace education are coming under increasing scrutiny.
This book evaluates the prospects for effective U.S. peace
education in the context of post??????1945 U.S. foreign policy. The
work first documents the disparity between U.S. pronouncements
about protecting human rights and the country's systematic erosion
of those rights in the international arena. Second, it evaluates
the challenges that the war on terrorism poses for peace education
and explores the importance of international treaties in upholding
security. A final section explores new ways of thinking and
relating that are ultimately necessary for the realization of
nonviolent peacekeeping efforts. Designed as a resource text for
U.S. educators, the text offers concrete proposals for addressing
contentious foreign policy issues in the classroom and includes an
appendix of primary documents and sample questions for easy use.
