Wie kann es Soldatinnen und Soldaten gelingen, sich in ihrem Beruf ethisch zu orientieren? Darf man ohne eigenen unmittelbaren Handlungsdruck Menschen töten, um Menschen zu retten? Wie lebt jemand damit, dass er entweder Schäden angerichtet oder sie nicht verhindert hat, obwohl er es gekonnt hätte? An der renommierten amerikanischen Militärakademie West Point wird gelehrt: Wenn ein Krieg gerecht ist, dann ist auch das Töten in diesem Krieg gerecht und sollte keine Schuldgefühle auslösen. Dafür dass der Krieg gerecht ist, haben nicht die Soldaten, sondern die politischen Führer zu sorgen und die Gesellschaft, die sie beauftragt oder gewähren lässt. Sollte der Soldat feststellen, dass die Verantwortlichen einen ungerechten Krieg anzetteln, sollte er den Gehorsam verweigern. Dem Soldaten bleibt also eine Gewissensentscheidung. Hartwig von Schubert vertritt in diesem Band eine erheblich differenziertere Lösung: Einen gerechten Krieg gibt es nicht, denn jeder Krieg ist eine Bankrotterklärung menschlicher Kommunikation. Der Krieg als Mittel zwischenstaatlicher Konfliktregulierung ist im Völkerrecht geächtet. Erlaubt sind dort als die zwei einzigen Ausnahmen vom Gewaltverbot nur die Selbstverteidigung und die Gewaltmaßnahme in Systemen kollektiver Sicherheit, über die nur die autorisierten Verantwortlichen eines Staates oder einer Staatengemeinschaft entscheiden dürfen. Und selbst dann hat nur der staatlich autorisierte "Kombattant" das Kampfführungsrecht und ist hierbei zur Wahrung der Verhältnismäßigkeit verpfl ichtet, er darf straffrei töten und darf gegebenenfalls nicht-exzessive Kollateralschäden in Kauf nehmen. Aber die Straffreiheit dieser Tötungshandlung bedeutet nicht Schuldlosigkeit, also bedarf der Soldat der Vergebung.

"How nine-year-olds solve the world's toughest problems. In John Hunter's classroom, students fearlessly set about tackling global problems--and discovering surprising solutions--by playing Hunter's groundbreaking World Peace Game. These kids--from high school all the way down to fourth grade, in schools both well-funded and under-resourced--take on the roles of presidents, tribal leaders, diplomats, and military commanders. Through battles and negotiations, standoffs and summits, they strive to resolve a sequence of many-layered, interconnected scenarios, from nuclear proliferation to tribal warfare. Now, Hunter shares inspiring stories from over thirty years teaching the World Peace Game, revealing the principles of successful collaboration that people of any age can apply anywhere. He offers all of us not only a forward-thinking report from the front lines of American education, but also a generous blueprint for a world that bends toward cooperation, rather than conflict. In this deeply hopeful book, a visionary educator shows us what the future of education can be. "--

"This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and holistic analysis of the socio-psychological dynamics of intractable conflicts. Daniel Bar-Tal,Ŵs original conceptual framework is supported by evidence drawn from different disciplines, including empirical data and illustrative case studies. His analysis rests on the premise that intractable conflicts share certain socio-psychological foundations, despite differences in context and other characteristics. He describes a full cycle of intractable conflicts ,Ŭ their outbreak, escalation, and reconciliation through peace building. Bar-Tal,Ŵs framework provides a broad theoretical view of the of the socio-psychological repertoire that develops in the course of long-term and violent conflicts, outlines the factors affecting its formation, demonstrates how it is maintained, points out its functions, and describes its consequences. The book also elaborates on the contents, processes, and other factors involved in the peace building process"--
