Francis A. Boyle, Baltimore Indymedia, March 6, 2008
Civil resistance in the age of Bush and Cheney
Civil Resistance to the wrongdoings of U.S. regimes has a long, and honorable, history. In his well documented tome, “Protesting Power: War, Resistance, and Law,” Professor Francis A. Boyle captures the essence of that story. He explains how “civil resistance” differs from “civil disobedience.” He also cites cases, where he was involved as an attorney and/or expert witness.

Protesting Power
War, resistance, and law
"If you believe Dante may be right, that "the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of moral crisis, remain neutral," you need this book....If you are concerned that our country lives by its Constitution and laws, its often-proclaimed principles...you too should read this book....If you cherish freedom, here is your chance to learn how much you have. A person ignorant of her rights has little advantage over those who have none."
- Ramsey Clark, Former U.S. Attorney General

Conundrums
of Humanity
The Quest for Global Justice
“Conundrums of Humanity” poses
eleven questions for our future progress, ranging from “Can
we diminish War?” to “How far and fast can we push
forward the frontiers of Human Rights?” to “Will China
dominate the century?”
The answers to these questions, the author believes, growing out
of his long experience as a foreign correspondent and columnist
for the International Herald Tribune, are largely positive ones,
despite the hurdles yet to be overcome.

The
Record of the Paper. How the New York Times misreports US foreign
policy
The authors detail how the Times presented official U.S. government
policy instead of what the authors would consider a real investigation
(and how publication of the Pentagon Papers was the exception
to the rule). Friel and Falk provocatively argue that the Times's
front-page coverage of Iraq's supposed possession of WMDs may
have been the result of Iraqi National Congress head Ahmed Chalabi
"being paid by the US government to plant stories in the
Times." This argument, combined with the other more historical
examples, should bring much attention to this skillful work.

Beyond
stereotypes: Violence and the porousness of ethnic boundaries
in the Republic of Macedonia
The processes that are described in this article shed light on
how so-called "inter-ethnic tensions" can be negotiated
in daily life and how local society, at first sight fraught with
negative ethnic stereotypes, can prove resilient towards ethnic
violence. It is published in History and Anthropology,
Volume 15, Number 1, March 2004, pp. 1-36(36).

Konflikt
og kontakt.
Om at forstå og håndtere konflikter
Bogen er en praktisk håndbog både for dem, der håndterer
store konflikter som hverdagens mindre. Den har teori fra flere
kulturer, praktiske forslag og mange hverdags-eksempler. Og så
bygger den helt på ikkevold og fredsforskning - pluralistisk
og åben for både hjerne og sjæl.

Does
the European Union Promote Peace? Analysis, Critique and Alternatives.
One of the very few systematic analyses of the often-stated claim
that the EU is an actor for peace.
Intellectually and morally its proposed constitution is a great
step backwards when compared with the 60 year old UN Charter.

Humiliation
and History in Global Perspectives - Special issue of "Social
Alternatives," Vol. 25, No. 1, First Quarter, 2006
Progress can be made in preventing, managing or resolving so-called
intractable conflicts if the roots of the problem are unearthed.
While the global history of humiliation that unfolds in the following
pages makes for depressing reading in one sense, in another it
provides the framework for understanding how to transform such
events into peaceful outcomes.

The
catalogues go back to 1986. We have kept them unchanged for those
who do research, for those who want to see what we said on historical
issues such as Yugoslavia or the end of the Cold War. We also
believe our publications are integral parts of the foundation's
history.

Promoting
the Common Good. Bringing Economics and Theology Together Again
By this TFF Associate and Marcus Braybrooke. "This book seeks
to bridge two extremely important - but divided - pillars of modern
civilisation. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone concerned
about globalisation, economics and our civilisational malaise.
We need value-based deep thinking like this to survive. And you
can enjoy it even if you are not religious!" - says Jan Oberg.
