Nonkilling at Justice and Peace Studies Association Conference

This year’s Justice and Peace Studies Association Conference, held on October 17-19 at the Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada, featured a presentation by CGNK Vice Chair Dr. Bill Bhaneja entitled “Nonkilling Security and the State: A Review Essay”. The full paper can be downloaded in PDF here.

He was joined by another CGNK Research Committee contributor Philosophy Professor Richard Matthews from King’s University College at the University of Western Ontario. His paper entitled, “Is it Absolutely Naive to Oppose Evil-doing?” dealt with linkages between privilege and practice of torture and Nonkilling.

This is at least the second occasion that the 2013 CGNK book Nonkilling Security and the State, which includes a selection of sixteen chapters prepared mostly by members of its Nonkilling Security and International Relations Research Committee and its Nonkilling Political Science Research Committee, is discussed in an academic event. The 426 page volume, edited by CGNK Director Joám Evans Pim, has a Foreword by Stephen M. Younger, Former Head of Nuclear Weapons Research and Development, and an Introduction by Chaiwat Satha-Anand. A PDF version can be downloaded for free from CGNK’s website and paperback copies can be ordered at $16 from Create Space.com or Amazon.com.
