| Summary: | This book is a review of the 1986 United Nations International Year of Peace conducted at an international conference in Fiji. The theme of the conference was "People Create Alternatives," and the issues of conflict resolution and avoiding global destruction were addressed. Specific topics discussed were: (1) "Theories and Techniques of Conflict Resolution"; (2) "Nationalism vs. the World as Expanded Community"; (3) "Economic Factors in Relationship to Conflict"; (4) "Confronting the Nuclear Crisis"; (5) "Human Rights in the Developing World and Everywhere Else"; (6) "Peace Studies and Research"; and (7) "Super Power Rivalry in the Pacific Basin." Also included are proceedings from the following symposia: (1) "The Rotary Center for World Understanding and Peace"; (2) "Globalizing Teacher Education: A Vehicle for Peace"; (3) "Developing Curricula for Peace Education in Secondary Schools"; (4) "Awakening the Sleeping Dragons"; and (5) "International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War." One of the richest elements of the conference was the interdisciplinary character of the participants. The book describes how the contributions of these many fields of study can aid in the search for a clearer definition of the problems that face the world and potential solutions to those problems.
