This newvolume provides reflections and insights fromleading public figures and activists who oppose military expenditure in anyform. Many of the contributions to this volume were presented as speeches atthe 'Disarm!For a Climate of Peace' meetingheld in Berlin in 2016, organized by the International Peace Bureau.

Excessivemilitary spending reduces the available financial reserves for health,education, and other human needs. For poor countries, it increases poverty,unemployment, and destitution. It also strengthens dictatorial tendenciesin politics and acts against democratic values. If we want to achieve peace,eliminate poverty, decrease inequality, and achieve social justice, we shoulddevote all our energies to reducing military spending and using the releasedresources for economic development. For that, we need a concerted effort toencourage disarmament.

During September-October 2016, the International Peace Bureau, with other partners, held an international congress in Berlin, and this volume contains 18 main plenary papers from it. They cover disarmament for development, sustainable peace, peace and development, a nuclear weapon free world, military spending and peace economics, and the challenge of peace today. Among their topics are creating an active disgust for war, the political conditions for a lasting global peace, recent trends in global military spending: the shallowest down cycle since World War II, trade unions and a sustainable policy of peace, and learning to disarm: educating to realize the International Peace Bureau action agenda. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
