Artpeace represents a conceptual framing of the synergy between the arts and peacemaking, as well as a methodological strategy for addressing war and political conflict through the arts. Developing the concept of artpeace, this book investigates how local art projects in seven locations across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America have played a role in broader national peace projects. And it examines the blockages that, at times, prevent the arts from making a tangible difference to the variations of peace being designed.

In a world full of challenges and conflicts, the quest for peace emerges as an essential and urgent ideal for the survival and prosperity of humanity. While history is marked by wars and violent disputes, the time has come to question and reflect on the true meaning of peace and how we can achieve it in a lasting way. The concept of peace transcends the mere absence of war and violence. Peace covers the creation of an environment conducive to human flourishing, the guarantee of rights and dignity, respect for diversity, social justice and harmony between individuals and nations. Peace is not only a passive state, but an active condition, built with continuous and strategic efforts. In this ebook, we will explore various perspectives on the quest for peace, questioning the paradigm of war as a solution to conflicts and presenting alternatives for building a more peaceful world. Through historical examples, contemporary analyses and insights from visionary thinkers, we will examine how ideas and practices that sustain war can be questioned, challenged and replaced by a culture of peace. We believe that peace is not only a distant utopia, but an achievable goal through collective commitment, dialogue, mutual understanding and cooperation. In this journey, we will unveil the inner and outer dimensions of peace, recognizing its importance in our personal, community and global lives. Throughout the next chapters, we will explore various areas in which the quest for peace can be applied, from diplomacy between nations to the promotion of inner peace in each individual. Together, we will seek to expand our understanding of the complex nature of peace and learn how we can contribute significantly to building a more just, secure and peaceful world for all. We invite you to engage in this journey of reflection and discovery, in which the art of peace is revealed not only as an ideal to be pursued, but as a path that leads us towards a more promising future for all humanity. The quest for peace is in itself an act of courage and wisdom, and it is through it that we will find the strength to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and harmony, building a world where the true art of peace prevails over the art of war.

Sun Tzu, author of 'The Art of War', believed that the acme of leadership consists in figuring out how to subdue the enemy with the least amount of fightinga fact that America's Founders also understood, and practiced with astonishing success. For it to work, however, a people must possess both the ability and the willingness to use all available instruments of power in peace as much as in war. US foreign policy has increasingly neglected the instruments of civilian power and become overly dependent on lethal solutions to conflict. The steep rise in unconventional conflict has increased the need for diplomatic and other non-hard power tools of statecraft. The United States can no longer afford to sit on the proverbial three-legged national security stool ("military, diplomacy, development"), where one leg is a lot longer than either of the other two, almost forgetting altogether the fourth leginformation, especially strategic communication and public diplomacy. The United States isn't so much becoming militarized as DE civilianized. According to Sun Tzu, self-knowledge is as important as knowledge of one's enemy: "if you know neither yourself nor the enemy, you will succumb in every battle." Alarmingly, the United States is deficient on both counts. And though we can stand to lose a few battles, the stakes of losing the war itself in this age of nuclear proliferation are too high to contemplate.

Let’s form a UNION for a Healthy Society It is no secret that we live in a materialistic society. Materialism is based on competition and the ultimate competition is war. Our world’s history is best told as an endless series of wars. Recently many people have discovered the word holistic and some even have a good idea of what it means. A holistic approach is based on cooperation and is typifies by seeking balance between ideas that seem to conflict with one another. This approach leads to dialogue and compromises and theoretically ultimately to a peaceful society. The holistic approach has traditionally been depicted by the yin/yang symbol. Peace has been elusive. War and peace are mutually exclusive as are cooperating and competing and materialistic and holistic. There are two separate directions that society can choose but we cannot choose both. A materialistic social dogma uses slavery to create a two-class society of rulers and subjects and the rulers desire central control. A holistic social dogma fosters individual liberty and human rights by decentralizing power with checks and balances. Rarely an opportunity arises where it is not only possible to change course but changing course becomes essential to survival of the human race. If we take the time to understand how a simple choice has led to perpetual war and an insane arms race then we can also understand that the option for peace and prosperity is a viable option. Creating a holistic society will be a challenge and maintaining it will take teamwork. I am attempting to provide a blueprint. Change is inevitable so lets make it a smooth transition!

Peacebuilding and statebuilding is one of the main approaches for preventing, managing, and mitigating global insecurities; dealing with the humanitarian consequences of civil wars; and expanding democracy and neoliberal economic regimes. Peace formation is a relatively new concept, addressing how local actors attempt to shape or work in parallel to international and national projects. This handbook serves as an essential guide to this vast intellectual landscape. It offers a systematic overview of conceptual foundations, political implications, and tensions at the global, regional, and local levels, as well as key policies, practices, examples, and discourses underlining all segments of peacebuilding and statebuilding.

In the current tense international context, UNESCO reaffirms its ideal of peace while working to promote harmony among nations.Providing the foundations for a peaceful society requires more than directives. It needs an in-depth understanding of values, respect for others and a thorough awareness of the importance of sustainable development and protection of the environment. Education for peace is now, more than ever, a process of safeguarding humanity. This guide is aimed at both teachers and educators worldwide, as well as the public at large. Pierre Weil is the Rector of the International Holistic University of the City of Peace Foundation in Brasilia (UNIPAIX). He has elaborated a transdisciplinary programme for peace education, the basic seminar of which is 'The Art of Living in Peace'. This seminar aimed at teachers, trainers and young people has been successfully used for more than ten years in several countries throughout the world. UNESCO has contributed to the spread of the method, which has lost none of its relevance and effectiveness.

Academic disciplines perceive tranquility and a sense of contentment differently among themselves and therefore contribute to peace-building initiatives differently. Peace is not merely a function of education or a tool that produces amicable systems, but rather a concept that educational contributions can help societies progress to a more peaceful existence. The Handbook of Research on Promoting Peace Through Practice, Academia, and the Arts aims to provide readers with a concise overview of proactive positive peace models and practices to counter the overemphasis on merely ending wars as a solution. While approaching peace-building through multiple vantage points and academic fields such as the humanities, arts, social sciences, and theology, this valuable resource promotes peace-building as a cooperative effort. This publication is a vital reference work for humanitarian workers, leaders, educators, policymakers, academicians, undergraduate and graduate-level students, and researchers.
