The just peace movement offers a critical shift in focus and
imagination. Recognizing that all life is sacred and seeking peace
through violence is unsustainable, the just peace approach turns
our attention to rehumanization, participatory processes,
nonviolent resistance, restorative justice, reconciliation, racial
justice, and creative strategies of active nonviolence to build
sustainable peace, transform conflict, and end cycles of violence.
A Just Peace Ethic Primer illuminates a moral framework behind this
praxis and proves its versatility in global contexts. With essays
by a diverse group of scholars, A Just Peace Ethic Primer outlines
the ethical, theological, and activist underpinnings of a just
peace ethic.These essays also demonstrate and revise the norms of a
just peace ethic through conflict cases involving US immigration,
racial and environmental justice, and the death penalty, as well as
gang violence in El Salvador, civil war in South Sudan, ISIS in
Iraq, gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
women-led activism in the Philippines, and ethnic violence in
Kenya. A Just Peace Ethic Primer exemplifies the ecumenical,
interfaith, and multicultural aspects of a nonviolent approach to
preventing and transforming violent conflict. Scholars, advocates,
and activists working in politics, history, international law,
philosophy, theology, and conflict resolution will find this
resource vital for providing a fruitful framework and implementing
a creative vision of sustainable peace.
