Paths to Peace. Exploring the feasibility of sustainable peace
A primer on thinking about peace in a nuclear age, this book describes the kinds of peace effort that have been tried-and those that might be tried-from the highest echelons of government policymaking to the grassroots level of individual endeavor. Its primary goal is to enable the reader to understand ways of eliminating the threat of nuclear war and to be empowered to take action. The book describes and compares nine basic paths people have used to achieve peace, ranging from such conventional approaches as the theory of deterrence or balance of power to more unconventional strategies such as nonviolent resistance. Essentially all significant ideas for achieving and maintaining international peace fall into one of these nine categories or combine features from several.
