Peace Through Tourism : Critical Reflections on the Intersections between Peace, Justice and Sustainable Development
Peace through Tourism considers the possibilities for tourism to contribute to efforts to unmask conflict and promote peace.This edited volume considers the intersections between tourism, peace, justice and sustainability through conceptual and empirical works surveying practices, problems and challenges all around the globe.It presents a complex and critical approach, arguing that peace through tourism is dialogic and not as simple as describing a few “good” niche segments of tourism. The pedagogies of peace represented here work to analyse structural violence associated with tourism—such as in the dominance of neoliberal market imperatives over local or social economies; colonising, patriarchal and anthropocentric practices in tourism; and tourism’s complex role in post-conflict settings.Analyses found here place scholars, industry and communities in conversation about building shared tourism futures where peace is understood as peace with justice and differences are bridged through dialogues towards understanding.In light of the many challenges in attaining sustainable development in the 21st century, this volume is an important and timely endeavour.Radical practices are explored that support more ‘just’ tourism futures. With a new introduction, this book is an insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Tourism and Peace and Conflict Studies.The chapters in this book were originally published in Journal of Sustainable Tourism.

Peace and Friendship : An Alternative History of the American West
A new understanding of how the West came to beFor over 35 years, the dominant histories of the American West have been narratives of horrific conflicts.Framed in terms of empire building, these histories use modern constructs of ethnic cleansing and genocide to reckon the costs of centuries of conquest and settler colonialism.This vocabulary, and the interpretation it supports, sharply contrasts with older accounts of the "winning of the West," which had exulted in the triumph of civilization over savagery, making America great -- and great again.As dark and as bloody as western grounds have often been however, there were also important episodes of concord, instances of barriers breached, accords reached, and of people overcoming their differences as opposed to being overcome by them.Aron traces the origins of these episodes and thoughtfully considers the factors that led to their ultimate undoing.Featuring well-known figures such as Daniel Boone, William Clark, and Wyatt Earp, Peace and Friendship highlights locales where unexpectedly peaceful relations occurred, examining the particular circumstances that gave way to concord.These instances of peace may not have been long-lived, but what is critical is that the mainstream history of conflict and the alternative history of concord play out on the same historical plain (or plane).Take, for example, the shaky cohabitation that occurred in the Clatsop encampment, the terminal point of Lewis and Clark's westward expedition.The peace with the Clatsop tribe would not last, as the friendships and alliances struck up were forged in the interest of commercial advantage and survival, and eventually ended in theft.But examining the instance of cohabitation itself deepens our understanding of how the West came to be: through colonization, violence, misunderstanding, and, surprisingly, at times, peace.

How can the peace treaty be assessed as a sustainable peace?
The peace treaty can be assessed as a sustainable peace by examining several key factors. Firstly, the involvement and commitment of all parties to the treaty is crucial for its sustainability. If all parties are genuinely invested in upholding the terms of the treaty, it is more likely to endure. Additionally, the inclusion of mechanisms for conflict resolution and reconciliation can contribute to the sustainability of the peace treaty. This can involve establishing a framework for addressing grievances and promoting dialogue between conflicting parties. Lastly, the support and involvement of the international community can also play a significant role in ensuring the sustainability of the peace treaty, by providing resources and assistance for its implementation and monitoring.

Is peace happiness?
Peace can contribute to happiness by creating a sense of security, stability, and harmony.

What are the Peace of Augsburg and the Peace of Westphalia?
The Peace of Augsburg, signed in 1555, was a treaty between the Holy Roman Empire and the Schmalkaldic League, a group of Protestant princes. It formally recognized the coexistence of Catholicism and Lutheranism within the empire, allowing each prince to choose the religion of his territory. This marked an important step towards religious tolerance and the end of religious wars in the Holy Roman Empire. The Peace of Westphalia, signed in 1648, ended the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic. It established a new political order in Europe by recognizing the independence of the Dutch Republic and Switzerland, and by granting more autonomy to the German princes. The treaty also extended the principle of religious tolerance by allowing Calvinism to be practiced alongside Catholicism and Lutheranism. The Peace of Westphalia is considered a milestone in the development of the modern state system and international law.
