Podcasts about Galtung

In this milestone 20th episode of the Proclaim Peace Podcast, hosts Jennifer Thomas and Patrick Mason are joined by peace scholar Elray Henriksen as they dive into the latter portion of the Book of Mormon, often referred to as the "war chapters" of Alma. The episode explores the extensive battle narratives between the Nephites and Lamanites, highlighting memorable characters such as Captain Moroni and Pahoran. The hosts discuss varying perspectives on these chapters, with some listeners eagerly anticipating Captain Moroni's story while others tend to skip ahead to Helaman. Join them as they unpack the lessons and themes of peace within these intense narratives.[00:02:53] Costs of war in scripture.[00:05:21] Allegorical interpretation of battles.[00:08:04] Defining peace through Galtung's triangle.[00:14:44] Millennium of peace commitment.[00:20:13] Militarism and cultural implications.[00:23:10] Inner Captain Moroni.[00:25:04] Worldview in defensive wars.[00:30:01] Temptation and human nature.[00:35:02] Internal struggle and temptation.[00:38:22] Captain Moroni as a model.[00:44:25] Grace in relationships and judgment.[00:47:43] Finding peace through spiritual practice.[00:50:20] Expansive conversations about faith.For full show notes and transcript, visit https://www.mormonwomenforethicalgovernment.org/proclaim-peace

ichangejusticeHost Joy Gilfilen talks about Galtung's Conflict, Trauma, and Violence Triangles with Karen Ball and Kurt Krueger. How do his original concepts offer new ways to understand the complexity of contradictions that permeate our current world? It is at the point where human, business and government systems collide. They discuss how the original constitutional idea of having a triad based structure (the Executive, Legislative, Judicial branches of government) breaks apart when we leave behavior out of the conversation when we create only two courts to handle conflicts: the civil and criminal courts. How does that work? It seems to end up creating Compound Civic Domestic Violence situations that are not understood in the civic square.

På forslag fra en lytter snakker Per og Henrik om Gunvor Galtung Haavik (1912-1977) var en norsk KGB-spion som begynte karrieren sin som sykepleier i Bodø under 2. verdenskrig hvor hun forelsket seg i en russer og begynte dermed å spionere for KGB i Norge mellom 1950, 60 og 70 årene. Det er duket for 1. lov i Peratingsloven og NRK-hjørnet. God lytting! --------- Per the suggestion of a listener, Per and Henrik talk about Gunvor Galtung Haavik (1912-1977) was a Norwegian KGB spy who began her career as a nurse in Bodø during World War II where she fell in love with a Russian and thus began spying for the KGB in Norway between the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The stage is set for the 1st law in Peratingsloven and the NRK corner. Happy listening!

Hun er norsk skuespiller og komiker og er kanskje mest kjent for sine imitasjoner blant andre av Gro Harlem Brundtland. Hun har en bipolar lidelse og har vært innlagt flere ganger på grunn av depresjon. Hun har nylig gjennomgått kreftbehandling og med helseangst på toppen av det hele kan man forstå at livet tidvis har vært krevende. Hvordan er det å være pasient og hva er forskjellen på å være pasient på en psykiatrisk avdeling og en somatisk avdeling? Jeg er ikke bipolar, og jeg er heller ikke kreft, sier Rigmor.

On this episode we speak with Sudhir Selvaraj of King's College London about his research study looking at religious freedoms for minorities in India. Article 25 of the Indian Constitution provides for the 'Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion'. However, in the recent past there has been an increase of violence against religious minorities. Sudhir's study adopts Norwegian political scientist Johan Galtung's framework which advocates for a broad conception of violence which includes direct, structural and cultural factors. Galtung also suggests a causal flow of violence from its cultural forms to its structural forms and finally to its direct forms. Sudhir's study argues that both structural and physical violence are rooted in and justified using the Hindutva ideology which portrays Christians as "foreigners" intent on destroying the integrity of the Hindu nation through religious conversions. Mainly, conversions are portrayed as a threat to the "Hindu State" in two ways. The first is its role in targeting "vulnerable" Hindu populations, particularly Dalits and Tribals. Secondly, conversions are presented as a tool of "foreigners" to influence India's politics. This broader conception of violence facilitates a challenge to existing notions that violence against Christians in the country began its proliferation in the late 1990s.

I denne episoden av Pod.Jur tar Sofie en prat med Ida Andenæs Galtung, forfatteren av "Med høyeste befaling", en bok som drøfter hvilke begrensninger § 26 første og andre ledd pålegger statsmaktene ved beslutninger om krigsdeltagelse.

Rigmor står mitt hjerte nært, vi har kjent hverandre i mange år. I denne poden deler Rigmor gjennom sin trygge, varme, humoristiske, sårbare og kattemyke sjel sin historie om et liv blant stjernene, til en voldsomt mørke og tilbake blant stjernene igjen!

We are focusing on the announced change in relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates along with the conditions involved.  Also, we will focus on some helpful peace concepts.  Thank you for subscribing, and if you enjoy reading this, please forward the newsletter to your friends. ~ KevinQuotes: “Rapprochement is more about practice than institutions.”  ~ Charles Kupchan “Inclined to peace by his temper and situation, it was easy for him to discover that Rome, in her present exalted situation, had much less to hope than to fear from the chance of arms; and that, in the prosecution of remote wars, the undertaking became every day more difficult, the event more doubtful, and the possession more precarious, and less beneficial.” ~ Edward Gibbon Last week the Trump Administration announced a shift in relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.  This involves the normalization of relations between the two countries that for decades have not recognized each other diplomatically.  We are going to examine the arrangement, the factors surrounding it, and contextualize it within the research study of peace. With a few exceptions, there seems to be growing support in Congress for this diplomatic effort.  From a consensus standpoint within US domestic politics that is useful.  It may also be important because the agreement may involve solidifying support, which often entails funds from the US.  Palestinian groups have been critical, as well as Turkey and Iran.  Speaking of Iran, many analysts argue that the differences Israel and the U.A.E. each has with Iran have helped to encourage their improving relations with one another. However, these are long-standing divisions and the enmity exists. The balance of power dynamics in the region involves many factors (domestic politics, energy, history of relations, and outside powers) but what seems to align and concern countries in the region most is the sectarian divisions.  (though some disagree)  Much of the suffering and standoff in Syria and Yemen is related to the proxy fighting between groups aligned with either Shia or Sunni. Frequently the efforts are less about achieving aims than about seeking to deny the aims of their sectarian rival.  This has also played a role in the politics in Iraq, Bahrain, and Lebanon, where sectarian divisions have been embedded in politics.  With Iran’s continued efforts to enrich nuclear capabilities, we see Saudi Arabia, with China’s assistance, also enter into this domain, probably as a reaction to the threat of Iran’s nuclear developments.  While there is robust disagreement among Sunni countries and Israel they all agree that their principal concern is Iran.  Plans for peace are laudable objectives.  But like most laudable things it is very difficult to attain.  No doubt this is the case, whether the focus is on Israel and its neighbors or the entire Middle East. That is why steps like those taken last week are important. When studying peace, we can look at work from Galtung, who characterized two types of peace: positive and negative.  This is not a normative characterization but rather is a description of what is actually done. When considering the meaning of positive peace, it is often described as occurring through a series of actions. Within these actions, there is an objective of moving toward peace, which is fostered through norms, laws, and habits. Meanwhile, negative peace is the result of the absence of war and is not the result of specific actions that facilitate the outcome, most notably at the normative level. The recent development between Israel and the United Arab Emirates is also an agreement (like most agreements) that involves the existence of leverage for each side to influence relations.  This may not include harmony or other types of idealized relationships, but it is also far from a conflictual relationship.  If one party does not meet the terms then the other can withdraw. It is also rumored that other Gulf states may join in similar arrangements, which intentionally hints at the possibility that normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel may happen.  This is particularly plausible given the frequent interaction, although done informally, between these countries on regional affairs. That informal interaction is one of the many widely shared “secrets” in international affairs. In recent decades there have been many failed attempts to reach grand positive peace agreements in the region. Perhaps the lesson we should learn is that the alternative approach of building a foundation is the path to having a negative peace arrangement, and that approach is preferable to numerous alternatives.  Just as war does not last forever, neither does either type of peace.  It's important to recognize that the most desirable form of peace may not be within reach. In this case, it would be hard to assert that positive peace efforts have succeeded. But perhaps more incremental steps are attainable.  These measured positive peace moves like normalization help create a greater environment where negative peace is the dominant state in the western Middle East.  The parties involved seem to acknowledge this.  No doubt the amount of regional balancing and opportunities taken by leaders can influence this, but we could eventually see a series of incremental steps toward peace, which could prove to be very important. What do you expect to happen next in the Middle East? I am enjoying the chance to share these newsletters with you in the form of the new podcasts and appreciate your continued feedback.

Hvorfor opplever USA store demonstrasjoner og opptøyer? Hva er det som gjør at det amerikanske samfunnet opplever så mye vold? I denne ukens episode ser SOSpodden nærmere på dagens kaotiske situasjon i USA.

Jean-Paul is part of the generation that was fundamentally shaped by the Lebanese civil war, but had no responsibility for it. In his words, when he left the country in 2006 after the brief and calamitous war with Israel, he never wanted to come back. While abroad, however, he found a sense of agency and possibility. He did come back, and founded an organisation called Peace Labs, which aims to facilitate the difficult conversations that need to happen if the country is to move forward. Show notes: [02:30] Growing up during the civil war, the origins of Peace Labs, and their current activities across Lebanon. Being mistaken for a priest. [12:00] Frustrations around the stagnation of Lebanese politics, and the 2006 war with Israel. Leaving with the intent to “never come back”, but finding a new perspective. [19:30] First steps in the peacebuilding sphere after coming back to Lebanon. Work with youth, and the commonalities that recur time and again in violent conflicts. [32:55] Why there was a need for a new kind of model in Lebanon. Gaps in the conventional peacebuilding approaches supported by the UN and big INGOs. [42:00] Being a “purist” rather than taking all the work that’s available. The need for an experimental attitude in dealing with a new and little-understood field like peacebuilding. [49:10] Why success stories, or moments that can inspire people, are particularly important in this field. Some pivotal moments in Jean-Paul’s own journey. [55:35] The critical importance of working on your own self, and how you relate to the world, before trying to change too much externally. Finding a “tribe” of like-minded people to help you navigate conflictual and disturbing topics. [59:00] Some book recommendations. Galtung, personal strengths, and a touch of science fiction.

Hvordan vi kan slutte fred med aldrings­prosessen og leve meningsfulle liv? Jeg nærmer meg 87, og med hånden på hjertet: Etter et langt og rikt liv befinner jeg meg ved høydepunktet – aldringen, skriver Johan Galtung i Ny Tid. Hans referat fra alderdommen kan få noen og enhver til å lengte etter livets høst. Og det er ikke i mangel av et fattig liv: Johan Galtung regnes som grunnlegger av freds og konfliktsforskningen, og ble verdens første professor på feltet. Med en slik bakgrunn har han mye klokt å si om hvordan vi kan slutte fred med aldringsprosessen og leve meningsfulle liv. Journalist Anne Synnevåg intervjuer Galtung på scenen.

On peace-building in The Peace Community of San Joseì de Apartadó The Peace Community of San Joseì de Apartadó is a peasant farmer community in Urabaì subregion who declared themselves 'neutral' to the Colombian armed conflict in 1997. One of the most emblematic victims’ groups in the country, they have been alternately glorified and condemned, but this paper, based on five years’ ethnographic work, shifts the human rights frame with which they have typically been viewed and proposes a gaze based on Galtung’s ‘positive peace’ concept, revealing two key narratives which co-exist in their collective identity: the radical narrative, according to which the Community interprets politics; and the organic narrative, the way in which they perceive their relationship to the environment and to their organisational process. These combine with the cultural practice of production of cacao (cocoa) and produce a concept of alternative community.
