This volume examines the possibility - or need - of a
revitalization of pacifism as a world-political practice. It takes
as its point of departure the observation that although 'just war
thinking' has long been dominant in Western debates about war and
peace, recent events have served to temper enthusiasm about the
doctrine. Pacifism has been much less prominent a stance in recent
decades, but there is the impression that it may be staging a
return. Just war thinking has to a large extent failed. Outright
bellicism remains as undesirable as ever. Pacifism presents itself
again as a possible alternative. Once upon a time the peace
movement was popular, and pacifism with it. Pacifism appealed to
people. It stirred hearts and minds. It inspired political action
and institutional designs. This volume examines whether pacifism
can claim its ground again and how it should be redefined in light
of today's world-political circumstances.
