Nonkilling Global Political Science (Review)
In Peace Magazine, January-March (2005), pp. 27.
Excerpt: In the fourth year of the new millennium, war and terrorism are the norm for resolving international conflicts. Has nothing been learned from the bloody wars of the previous century? That’s the question asked by Glenn Paige, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Hawaii, in Nonkilling Global Political Science. Paige argues that if political scientists do not seriously challenge the acceptance of lethality, then one could hardly expect citizens to do so. He also asks: “Is a nonkilling global society feasible?” then challenges his discipline, asking whether a nonkilling global political science is achievable. On both counts, his answer is a resounding “yes”.
