The human race has often put a high value on struggle, strife,
turmoil, and excitement. Peace has been regarded as a utopian,
unattainable, perhaps dull ideal or as some random element over
which we have no control. However, the desperate necessities of the
nuclear age have forced us to take peace seriously as an object of
both personal and national policy. Stable Peace attempts to answer
the question, If we had a policy for peace, what would it look
like? A policy for peace aims to speed up the historically slow,
painful, but persistent transition from a state of continual war
and turmoil to one of continual peace. In a stable peace, the
war-peace system is tipped firmly toward peace and away from the
cycle of folly, illusion, and ill will that leads to war. Boulding
proposes a number of modest, easily attainable, eminently
reasonable policies directed toward this goal. His recommendations
include the removal of national boundaries from political agendas,
the encouragement of reciprocal acts of good will between potential
enemies, the exploration of the theory and practice of nonviolence,
the development of governmental and nongovernmental organizations
to promote peace, and the development of research in the whole area
of peace and conflict management. Written in straightforward, lucid
prose, Stable Peace will be of importance to politicians, policy
makers, economists, diplomats, all concerned citizens, and all
those interested in international relations and the resolution of
conflict.
