PEACE AND VIOLENCE
Social Sense
Psychological
Peace
Peace was
defined as merely
the absence of
war or direct
violence
-Hugo Grotius-
“Peace as more or
less lasting
suspension of
violent modes of
rivalry between
political units”
Raymond Aron
Peace was that of
absence of death
and destruction as a
result of war and
physical/direct
violence

Negative &
Positive
Peace
NEGATIVE PEACE REFERS TO THE ABSENCE OF
VIOLENCE. When, for example, a ceasefire is
enacted, a negative peace will ensue. It is
negative because something undesirable
stopped happening

(e.g. the violence stopped, the oppression


ended).
POSITIVE PEACE IS FILLED WITH
POSITIVE CONTENT SUCH AS
RESTORATION OF RELATIONSHIPS, THE
CREATION OF SOCIAL SYSTEMS THAT
SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE WHOLE
POPULATION AND THE CONSTRUCTIVE
RESOLUTION OF CONFLICT.
Negative & Positive Peace
Peace…..
does not mean the total absence of any conflict. It
means the absence of violence in all forms and the
unfolding of conflict in a constructive way.
Peace…
therefore exists where people are interacting
non-violently and are managing their conflict
positively – with respectful attention to the
legitimate needs and interest of all concerned
Personal Peace
Domestic Peace
Inter-Personal Peace
Local Peace
National Peace
International Peace
Environmental Peace
