Military analyst, peace activist, teacher, and social theorist
Randall Caroline Watson Forsberg (1943-2007) founded the Nuclear
Freeze campaign and the Institute for Defense and Disarmament
Studies. In Toward a Theory of Peace, completed in 1997 and
published for the first time here, she delves into a vast
literature in psychology, anthropology, archeology, sociology, and
history to examine the ways in which changing moral beliefs came to
stigmatize forms of "socially sanctioned violence" such as human
sacrifice, cannibalism, and slavery, eventually rendering them
unacceptable. Could the same process work for war? Edited and with
an introduction by political scientists Matthew Evangelista
(Cornell University) and Neta C. Crawford (Boston University), both
of whom worked with Forsberg.
The Naval War College Review was established in 1948 and is a forum
for discussion of public policy matters of interest to the maritime
services. The forthright and candid views of the authors are
presented for the professional education of the readers. Articles
published are related to the academic and professional activities
of the Naval War College. They are drawn from a wide variety of
sources in order to inform, stimulate, and challenge readers, and
to serve as a catalyst for new ideas. Articles are selected
primarily on the basis of their intellectual and literary merits,
timeliness, and usefulness and interest to a wide readership. The
thoughts and opinions expressed in this publication are those of
the authors and are not necessarily those of the U.S. Navy
Department or the Naval War College.
Arguments have consequences in world politics that are as real as the military forces of states or the balance of power among them. Neta Crawford reveals how ethical arguments, not power politics or economics, explain decolonization, the greatest change in world politics to occur over the last five hundred years. The book also analyzes how argument might be used to to remake contemporary world politics, suggesting how such arguments apply to the issue of humanitarian intervention.
