Study Notes
World Peace: Concepts, Efforts, and Theories
- World peace is the ideal state of peace among all people and nations on Earth, with different cultures, religions, philosophies, and organizations having varying concepts on how to achieve it.
- Religious and secular organizations aim to achieve world peace through addressing human rights, technology, education, engineering, medicine, or diplomacy as an end to all forms of fighting.
- The United Nations and its Security Council members aim to resolve conflicts without war, but nations have entered numerous military conflicts since 1945.
- Several theories have been proposed on how world peace could be achieved, including capitalist peace theory, Cobdenism, democratic peace theory, and economic norms theory.
- Capitalist peace theory claims that capitalist or commercial peace, together with democratic peace theory and institutionalist arguments for peace, could prevent wars.
- Cobdenism proposes that international free trade would make wars impossible because free trade prevents a nation from becoming self-sufficient, which is a requirement for long wars.
- Democratic peace theory claims that empirical evidence exists that democracies never or rarely wage war against each other, but several wars between democracies have taken place, historically.
- Territorial peace theory debates whether peace results in democracy or vice versa and whether sufficient data is available to statistically prove the theory.
- Economic norms theory links economic conditions with institutions of governance and conflict, distinguishing personal clientelist economies from impersonal market-oriented ones, identifying the latter with permanent peace within and between nations.
- Throughout most of human history, societies have been based on personal relations, but modern societies are shifting towards market-oriented economies and impersonal relations, which could contribute to world peace.
- Achieving world peace requires addressing various complex and interconnected factors, including political, economic, social, environmental, and cultural issues.
- The pursuit of world peace is an ongoing and challenging process that requires collective efforts and cooperation from individuals, organizations, and nations worldwide.
