Peace Education

🔖 This book adds to the existing literature on peace education. It examines various approaches to peace. Predominantly examining the Gandhian approach to peace and peace education, it also examines the approaches of some of the renowned pacifists like Henry D. Thoreau, Albert Schweitzer and contributions of some peace activist leaders. Being emphatic upon the need for orienting and training of individuals in nonviolent and peaceful resolution of conflicts, the book provides practical inputs and suggestions based on actual field studies. The book focuses on the need for including in peace education the non-traditional dimensions of peace like human security, human rights, environmental protection, etc. and emphasizes upon the need for promoting peace education world-wide, especially in the Afro-Asian countries.
