    • Third Issue of Nonkilling Working Papers is Now Available

    March 2010. The third issue of the Global Nonkilling Working Papers series has just been released, including the four papers presented at the "Nonkilling Global Political Science: A Critical Evaluation" panel, held at the 21st World Congress of Political Science in Santiago, Chile, 12-16 July, 2009. Besides the works of Piki Ish-Shalom, Chaiwat Satha-Anand, Yoon-Jae Chung and Joám Evans Pim, this issue features a report by panel Chair Balwant Bhaneja.

    Following the Center’s mission of "promoting change toward the measurable goal of a killing-free world", the Global Nonkilling Working Papers series are dedicated to theory and research incorporating original scientific works that tackle issues related to the construction of nonkilling societies, where killing, threats to kill and conditions conductive to killing are absent.

    The collection is published on an occasional basis as texts are delivered by authors and reviewed by the Nonkilling Research Committees. In the near future, the Center intends to launch one issue per month, allowing a constant flow of information and new debate possibilities among scholars and practitioners of all fields.

    Issue #1 "Are Humans Inherently Killers?"
    Issue #2 "Examining Domestic Violence as a State Crime: Nonkilling Implications"
