Burton‘s transition from practitioner in diplomacy to pioneer in the theory of peace research, thinking on world society and conflict resolution. Born in 1915, given his father‘s name, it was assumed that he would follow his father and become a Christian missionary. He did not: he joined the Australian Public Service. From a junior position he rose rapidly. He was forthright and some found him irritating, or worse. He progressed to the highest levels of policy-making. Amidst some controversy, he resigned abruptly in 1951. He then worked on his farm outside Canberra, writing avidly. He did not intend to become an academic, but in 1963 he was offered a position in International Relations at University College in London and he accepted. He was key to the foundation of the International Peace Research Association (IPRA) in 1964 and of the Conflict Research Society in the UK, because he thought that words and ideas were not enough: there needed to be instrumentsof change. Looking back, he was, in fact, a secular missionary. His aim? Simple: to change the world..· This book is an exploration of how conflict should be reinterpreted..· The ideas of his work | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | International Relations; Peace Research; Conflict Research; John W; Burton; World Society; Conflict; Confl | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-51258-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-51260-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-51258-2Series ISSN 2509-5579 Series E-ISSN 2509-5587 | | issn_series | 2509-5579 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
