World peace is possible. This book explains how. For as long as there has been war, there have been schemes to end it. In the modern era, war's capacity to satisfy interests, generate wealth, and export values has diminished, whilst our capacity to establish and sustain peaceful societies and manage relations between them peacefully has grown. This book examines the ideas and forces that sustain war, and those that have been marshalled for peace. It sets out a new case for thinking that world peace is possible and shows that we already have the institutions and practices we need to make world peace a reality.
