In the “Medellín Document on Peace,” produced at the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM), violence is said to be one of the gravest problems in Latin America. Violence is violation of personhood. The use of the word personhood in the definition of violence gives the implication of totality, so violence is therefore “an act that depersonalizes.” Violence is not simply war, but extends beyond into society as institutional violence. Therefore, there are three levels of violence which comes about: society injustice where the majority of the population is powerless, the revolt of the powerless in an attempt to gain power, followed by the repression by those who have power.…

Recently I read an article by Hal Pepinsky titled Peacemaking in the classroom. This article is all about how Mr. Pepinsky used conflict resolution and peacemaking in a college setting. To understand where he is coming from in this article a little background is needed. Mr. Pepinsky is a college professor who taught a class for second year criminal justice majors. He thought this class would be a great place to experiment with peacemaking and conflict resolution. He started this by throwing out the traditional grading scale and changing it to a pass or fail. Although he was laughed out of a university for this thought process, he found his footing with a different idea. When at a new school he started with a new system.…

One of the potential contributors to the large productivity gap between developed and developing countries are low quality infrastructure. In the summer of 2012, India suffered the largest power failure in history, which plunged 600 million people into darkness for two days. Even under normal circumstances, however, the Indian government estimates that shortages currently amount to about ten percent of demand at current prices, and many consumers have power only a few hours a day. In the 2005 World Bank Enterprise Survey, one-third of Indian business managers named poor electricity supply as their biggest barrier to growth. According to these managers, blackouts are far more important than other barriers that economists frequently study, including taxes, corruption, credit, regulation, and low human capital. (Hunt Allcott, Allan Collard-Wexler, and Stephen D. O’Connell 2014)…
Abstract: For nearly forty years a violent conflict has been raging in Mindanao where the Moros are fighting for independence from the Philippine state. On August 5th 2008 the peace negotiation panels of the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front were set to sign a Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD), a final stepping stone on the way to a comprehensive peace agreement. However, a well-organised wave of protest swept from Christian settlers in Mindanao to the Supreme Court in Manila which declared the agreement unconstitutional. This paper presents a chronology of events surrounding the debate, analyses the arguments used in support and opposition of the MoA-AD and searches for causes of its demise, before looking at lessons to…
