Kurzbeschreibung
Uri Savir has an ambitious but indispensable goal: to modernize peacemaking. In the follow-up to his award-winning book, THE PROCESS, he exposes and deconstructs the many ironies and anachronisms in our current, deeply flawed approach to peacemaking. "Little in today's world," he writes "is more progressive than modern warfare. Yet little is more archaic than today's peacemaking strategies." While the social, political, and economic elements of societies have evolved to encompass issues of globalization, hi-tech and communications, peacemaking as a strategy has remained stagnant. Savir makes many radical observations, including the long-denied fact that war-makers cannot also be the peace-makers, and that we mistakenly believe that security guarantees peace when the inverse is true: peace guarantees security. Our outmoded approaches to diplomacy, he argues, actually ensure failure; while our preparations future wars reflect current, ever-changing circumstances, our preparations for the next peace process are habitually and fatefully based on the previous peace process. Witness: of the approximately 70 partial and full peace agreements signed over the last two decades, a vast majority face severe sustainability issues or have simply drowned. As an alternative to a world in which peace is just the pause between wars, Savir urges readers to acknowledge that, just as we accept the fact that there are sometimes "necessary wars," we must accept the imperative that there is always a "necessary peace." When we make this mental shift, peace becomes not merely a strategic objective, but instead a core, internalized value--a value that stems from our internalized commitment to equality between human beings, and from the realization that we all have similar needs, fears, hopes and weaknesses. To illustrate his four-point plan for sustainable peace-making, Savir draws on his own deep, first-hand experiences, most notably during the Oslo Peace Process, but also working to build peace between enemies and former enemies in the African nations of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone, the European regions of Northern Ireland and the Former Yugoslavia, and in Asia -- Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.
Über den Autor
Ambassador Uri Savir has spent his professional life on the frontline of peace-making in Israel. As Director-General of the Foreign Ministry between 1993 and 1996, Savir served as Israel's Chief Negotiator for the Oslo Accords, as a member of the Israeli Negotiations Delegation with Jordan, and as head of the Negotiation Delegation with Syria in 1995-1996. As a second generation diplomat, Savir was Shimon Peres' right-hand man for many years, Director of the Israeli Consulate in New York, and later as Member of Israeli Parliament, he was head of the Sub-Committee for Foreign Affairs. In 1996, he established the Peres Center for Peace which encourages regional peacebuilding initiatives, over which he presides today. In 2001, Savir established a Rome-based international non-profit organization called Glocal Forum, which encourages intercity diplomacy around the world.

Finally an international relations book offering practical recommendations!
22. August 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Setting it apart from most books in its category, Peace First offers practical recommendations on how to build a viable culture of peace and the importance of doing so much before war becomes a threat. Savir's presentation of a new approach to international relations - glocalization, which empowers local governments to bring the peace process to the people the way national government just cannot - leaves you with the feeling that there is hope for a more peaceful future. Equally important, Savir's thorough yet concise examination of peace provides a solid foundation for his arguments while examples from his experience in peacemaking in the Middle East make the book a must-read.

Pragmatic optimism
16. August 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book should be read by policy makers, politicians, corporate executives, non-profit workers, and anyone who believes that a more peaceful world is both possible and necessary. Despite my approach as a layman in the world of peace and conflict studies and international relations, I found this book incredibly compelling--as much for Savir's earnestness as for his practical peacemaking model. Savir is a true peacemaker and diplomat, and Peace First perfectly captures his unwavering dedication to cultural understanding and compassion. I highly recommend this book to anyone needing a dose of pragmatic optimism in troubling times.
