The Value of Peace

"The Value of Peace" describes the utility of peace as an important approach for economic growth and national building processes. The Value of Peace also describes the word value in all its meanings, to include moral and monetary values. This is a pragmatic book, based on objective and utilitarian theories and methods. It utilizes a logical and empirical comparison of the world historical dynamics in order to find "The Value of Peace" via the four methods of International Relations analysis; to include, personal, local, state and international levels. We must remember that every human utilitarian process begins at the micro level, as its is a process that is established to improve the utility and gratification of the human being at its core, by igniting change at the personal level where all the real change happens, when there is broad proof of utility for the human being. Therefore, this book strives to find utilitarian outcomes for the practices of peace, by linking moral values and behaviors at the personal and national levels with economic gain, prosperity and progress. The book also tries to empower the human being towards becoming the most important element for change within its environment and its societies, by offering personal enlightenment methods, processes and tools in order to take control and charge of their lives when everything else seems to be out of control.

The Value of Peace is a pragmatic, historical and a balanced source of knowledge that highlights some of the more constant issues of International Relations. By focusing on peace as a positive variable for domestic and international justice and economic growth, the book highlights justice as the best methods for conflict resolutions practices and equalitarian efforts. The book also focuses on the processes of democracy building, defense capacity and civic engagement of the people of a nation as a method to sustain peace and strengthening the justice system.
