Fredelige
revolusjoner
De siste fem årene har vi sett at massive folkelige bevegelser
har styrtet statsledelsen i mange land verden rundt. I nesten alle av
disse bevegelsene har studenter spilt en avgjørende rolle.

to the situation in Thailand.
Saltmarchen 75 år
- Reclaim Gandhi
En
nordisk hemsida full av information
1930 blev Saltmarschen i Indien början på slutet för
det brittiska kolonialväldet och inspiration för världens
solidaritetsrörelser. Gandhi gick in för direkt aktion och
var kritisk mot dem som använde tanken om ickevåld som ursäkt
för passivitet. Därför uppmärksammar vi 75-årsjubiléet
av Saltmarschen. Du kan också delta. Sprid information! Ordna
ett möte eller utställning! Delta i gemensamma aktiviteter!

Beyond Violence
and Hatred in Southern Thailand
The Queen's speech on November 16 was a remarkable wake-up call for
the whole Thai society about the seriousness of violence in Southern
Thailand. Heeding Her Majesty's admonitions from a nonviolence perspective,
some concrete nonviolent alternatives, are proposed here. By TFF Associate
Chaiwat Satha-Anand, Bangkok.

Reading
Gandhi
Our knowledge of the life of Mahatma Gandhi has been limited to
political biographies. A spiritual or constructive work biography, with
his political campaigns being mere extensions to the periods he spent
on self-discovery or social work, would give us a more complete picture
of Gandhi.
Richard Falk, January

Gandhi,
Nonviolence and the Struggle Against War
Looking back in time, we can understand that it is an error to be
too literal in anticipating the Gandhian Moment, but it would be a greater
error to dismiss the possibility, and reconcile ourselves either to
endless and escalating cycles of violence or to the "unpeace" of injustice
and oppression.

International
Presence in The Holy Land
Eye witnesses on the spot, who are a danger to the credibility of
the propagated image, represent a threat to an acceptance of the performed
policy as justifiable. A strategic response is then...to prevent their
presence and...limit it.

Gandhi
in the Globalised Context
Gandhian scholars, peace activists, development experts, scholars and
writers of eminence are busy looking at the legacy of Gandhi, particularly
the holistic vision of Gandhi and the emphasis and the strategies associated
with him, against the background of the emerging challenges in various
fields in the post-Gandhian period.

The
Ancient Global Lesson of 9:11 - No More Killing!
"Most humans who have
ever lived have never directly killed anyone. The global lesson of 9.11
is that we humans must learn to stop killing each other from domestic
homicide to war."

Nonviolent
Response to Sept 11
One act of terror...does
not justify the retaliation of another act of terror. Not only is such
a response immoral but it does not make good political sense.

The
Power of Peaceful Protest
"Our weapon is our nakedness,"
Helen Odeworitse, a leader of 600 women who peacefully seized control
of an oil terminal in Escravos, Nigeria, told the Associated Press.
Odeworitse and other women held 700 western oil workers hostage and
shut down a facility that exports half a million barrels of oil a day.

Kingian
Nonviolence as an Alternative to Terrorist and Anti-Terrorist Killing
and War
The weapon of Kingian
nonviolence was successful. Therefore, it would behoove us to examine
some basic aspects of Kingian nonviolence and its application to terrorism
and violence. My paper will examine Dr. King's experiment with nonviolence
in the 1960's and hopefully stimulate serious discussion concerning
the Kingian nonviolence application to terrorism today.

The
power of nonviolence
On the role of nonviolence
in the global justice movement. "The choice of nonviolence should not

Nonviolence
in the 21st Century: Challenges and Choices
The question that we need to ask is, therefore, not whether nonviolent
is relevant but whether we are willing to move away from greed, selfishness
and all the negative attributes that govern our lives to the more positive
attributes of love, compassion, understanding and respect. The
choice is ours to make.

The
Peacemaker of the Pashtun Past
This forgotten chapter suggests that Islam is more mutable than
either its radical adherents or its Western detractors allow - and that
Pashtun history offers an extraordinary precedent for peace as well
as a legacy of war.

Mahatma
Gandhi - the missing laureate. Why was Gandhi never awarded the Nobel
Peace Prize?
Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) has become the strongest symbol of non-violence
in the 20th century. It is widely held - in retrospect - that the Indian
national leader should have been the very man to be selected for the
Nobel Peace Prize. He was nominated several times, but was never awarded
the prize. Why?
