CONFLICT
DESTRUCTIVEINTRACTABLE
CONFLICT is…
THEPRINCIPAL THREAT
TOHUMAN WELFARE
LARGE SCALE
VIOLENCE
IS THE MOSTDESTRUCTIVE
FORCE ON THE PLANET
t
In the 20th Century…
…there were
175,000,000 Conflict Deaths
(Military & civilian casualties, genocide, tyranny, and man-made famine)…
4.5%of World Population.
Since World War IIthere have been…
20,000,000Battle Deaths
in25 International Wars
127 Civil Wars.
What will the 21st Century bring?
Future “perfect storm” conflicts could easily be
more horrific.
Tensions between global power centers are rising.
Society’s high -tech infrastructure is
extremely vulnerable.
Weapons of massdestruction are becoming
widely available.
Low-tech warfare can still produce catastrophic
and even genocidal results.
Destructive conflict
dynamics also…
…prevent us from meeting other critical challenges.
We can’tCONTROL AIDS…
…without dealing with conflicts over
sex, sex education, and religious belief.
We can’t deal with
GLOBAL WARMING…
…without finding ways to overcome
our addiction to fossil fuels and energy industry
resistance.
We can’t fight
POVERTY…
…without addressing the debate over
who is responsible and what can and should
be done?
Unfortunately, our research and
development-oriented society…
…invests almost nothing in the development of
better ways ofhandling conflict.
Instead, we sacrifice millions of lives and
spend countless billions…
…playing the same old destructive game.
We must find realistic ways…
…to change the game.
We need to start by applying what we
know…
...and finding out what we don’t.
Success will require a high degree of specialization…
…with large numbers of individuals and organizations…
…each making important and very
different contributions.
Individuals from many institutions, cultures, &
disciplines…
…will need to focus on the challenges that lie within their areas of expertise.
People are very reluctant to change the ways in which they approach conflict.
Success will not come easily, or quickly.
But we will never succeed if we don’t start taking these
challenges seriously.
The challenge of working toward peace is as
important asGlobal Warming.
It deserves the same level of our attention.
