Discusses points of contention between peace activists & proponents of Dieter Senghaas's (1994) hexagonal model of civilization. Senghaas's argument that there are six fundamental conditions of civilization (legitimate state monopoly on violence, legal state controls, establishment of action interdependencies & affect controls, democratic participation, social justice, & constructive conflict culture) has been faulted for neglecting the role of social movements & civil society. A dialogue to clarify the controversy, which exemplifies the discomfort common to relations between the peace movement & contemporary peace research, is suggested. How general theory & the specific practice of peace activists might benefit each other is addressed. E. Blackwell
