                        Here is what people are saying about it:


                        "The AGSS provides tried-and-test strategies and 
actionable tips for those curious about and committed to building and 
sustaining peace by peaceful means." —Alison Sutherland, Rotary Action Group 
for Peace – Chair


                        “What a treasure. It is so well written and 
conceptualized. The beautiful text and design immediately captured the 
attention and imagination of my 90 graduate and undergraduate students. 
Visually and substantively, the clarity of the book appeals to young people 
in a way textbooks have not.” —Barbara Wien, American University


                        “A Global Security System is a serious and major 
attempt to explore what a world without war could be. The book presents, 
from many angles, an interconnected vision, with a positive framing of what 
is possible and that the capacity exists to make it happen. This book is an 
incredible undertaking and I really appreciated the clarity of the layout, 
which makes the ideas tangible.” —Matthew Legge, Peace Program Coordinator, 
Canadian Friends Service Committee (Quakers)

                        “As a peace educator who has taught in the US, UK, 
Turkey, and currently in Poland, I found this book a breath of fresh air. 
Not only does it present the idea of abolishing war as possible, it provides 
a comprehensive framework with three broad, but at the same time, practical 
strategies on how to go about it. Too often I hear from students a sense of 
hopelessness and despair about the future of peace and security, not knowing 
what they can do to change the current system. I found this book both 
empowering and inspiring, offering many pragmatic suggestions on how 
students can take can on leadership roles in the global movement to develop 
a paradigm for an alternative global security system. This book serves as a 
dynamic tool that I intend to incorporate into my current peace education 
curriculum.” —Dr. Vanessa Tinker, Lecturer at Collegium Civitas, Warsaw, 
Poland


                        "A Global Security System: An Alternative to War 
(5th edition) is a superb introduction to the theory and practice of 
building a peaceful future for the world. Based on the most up-to-date 
research, accessibly written, wide-ranging and thorough, well-organised and 
rich in further resources and practical ideas, this collaborative volume 
provides an outstanding source for students and teachers looking to better 
understand how destructive militarism is, and how to practically create a 
more peaceful international system. Highly recommended." —Professor Richard 
Jackson, University of Otago, New Zealand, Director of the National Centre 
for Peace and Conflict Studies (NCPACS)


                        "A Global Security System: An Alternative to War" is 
a timely publication for the communities of scholars and practitioners of 
peace and conflict transformation worldwide. The three inter-related 
strategies set a foundation for sustainable and realistic approaches to 
peacemaking and peacebuilding. Throughout my work in the field I have 
witnessed how the availability of all sorts of arms, including small arms, 
have shattered communities, exasperated conflicts, and contributed to 
digging deep incurable wounds between groups and individuals. I have also 
witnessed the transformation of violent conflicts into peaceful coexistence 
and prosperity through the persistent, carefully-crafted, implementation of 
non-violent inclusive peace processes, programs and projects. This book 
offers a comprehensive, 360-degree, vision for peace that left no stone 
un-turned. Its unique approach will inspire and inform generations of 
peacemakers the world over." —Amr Abdalla, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus and 
former Dean and Vice Rector, UN-established University for Peace
