July 3, 2013April 18, 2016 Joám Evans Pim

The tenth issue of the Global Nonkilling Working Papers series has just been released, featuring a new essay by Clayton K. Edwards on “The Nature and Character of Nonkilling Global Political Science”.

The purpose of this paper to demonstrate philosophically and scientifically that the inclusion of killing and threats to kill as part of the scientific enterprise is a false proposition that must be explicitly rejected by political scientists to aid the public and practitioners of the political arts to recognize and reject killing and threats to kill as competent human behavior, from the most local to the most global of polities.

All issues can be downloaded for free in PDF at the Center’s website or purchased in print for US$ 6. Following the Center’s mission of “promoting change toward the measurable goal of a killing-free world”, the Global Nonkilling Working Papers series are dedicated to theory and research incorporating original scientific works that tackle issues related to the construction of nonkilling societies, where killing, threats to kill and conditions conductive to killing are absent.

The collection, published in cooperation with the Asian World Center at Creighton University, is published on an occasional basis as texts are delivered by authors and reviewed by the Nonkilling Research Committees. In the near future, the Center intends to launch one issue per month, allowing a constant flow of information and new debate possibilities among scholars and practitioners of all fields.
