I.B. Tauris in association with the Institute of Ismaili Studies
Every year since 1983 the Buddhist leader and thinker, Daisaku
Ikeda, has issued a peace proposal that presents solutions to a
variety of global problems. While the proposals themselves are both
wide-ranging and specific (covering topics as diverse as
counter-terrorism relations; the prohibition of child soldiers;
denuclearization of the Arctic; and strategies to prevent global
warming), the common denominator at their center is the role and
effectiveness of the United Nations in addressing structural
challenges and inequality. This substantial volume brings together,
for the first time in one place, excerpts from the most topical and
important of Ikeda's peace proposals. Themes like human security,
the empowerment of women, nuclear disarmament and the centrality of
dialogue are throughout informed by an unshakeable belief in the
potential and promise of the UN's world mission, as well as by
Ikeda's own experience of the cruelty of war and his articulation
of Buddhism as a practical route to peace. The book makes a timely
and vital contribution to ethics, peace studies and international
relations.
