Quanwu Zhang. "An intervention model of constructive conflict resolution and cooperative learning."

ABSTRACT: An intervention model of constructive conflict resolution (CCR) and cooperative learning (CL) was implemented and tested on three campuses of an urban alternative high school. The findings indicate that improvement in CCR increased social support and decreased victimization for the students.

Quirk, Paul J. "Evaluating Congressional Reform : Deregulation Revisited." Journal of Policy Analysis & Management Summer 1991, v10n3, p. 407-425

ABSTRACT: An evaluation of the changes in Congress' structure that occurred in the 1970s requires attention to three dimensions of its performance as a policy-making institution: representation of interests, deliberation and conflict resolution. The resulting strengths and weaknesses help to explain differences in congressional performance on trucking deregulation and natural gas deregulation in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Rapoport, Amnon.; Bornstein, Gary. "Solving public good problems in competition between equal and unequal size groups." Journal of Conflict Resolution Sep 1989, v33n3, p. 460-479

ABSTRACT: An important dimension for categorizing problems of public good provision is whether the good in question can be provided only in some fixed amount, or is available in continuous quantities. A study is offered where people decide to contribute or not contribute toward the provision of the good, and the results of the study are discussed.

In his capacity at Boston El and, after World War I, at U.S. Rubber, Ching developed a reputation for his scrupulous fairness in industrial relations. He also served in government, as a member of the National Defense Mediation Board in 1941, a member of the War Labor Board in 1942-43, the first director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service during the Truman administration, and chairman of a special Atomic Energy Commission labor relations panel until his death at age 91 in 1967.

Raskin, Marcus. "Still the best hope for peace." The Nation v. 241 (Sept. 21 '85) p. 251-3

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Peace.Disarmament.

ABSTRACT: PART OF A SPECIAL SECTION ON THE UNITED NATIONS. Although the United Nations cannot achieve disarmament without the cooperation of the superpowers, it can contribute to vital political momentum. The superpowers' refusal to address disarmament within a UN framework has severely affected the arms race, increasing world insecurity. The U.S. peace movement must demand that the General Assembly's resolutions calling for disarmament become the foundation for U.S. foreign policy. At their November summit meeting in Geneva, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev should revive a military committee to devise an international security plan, as mandated by Article 47 of the Charter of the Security Council. Several draft programs already exist, including one coauthored by the writer.

Rauf, Tariq.; Lamb, John M. "Should Canada bring the boys home?." The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists v. 45 (Sept. '89) p. 36-8

KEY WORDS: North Atlantic Treaty Organization.Canada--Armed Forces--Forces in Europe.

ABSTRACT: Cuts in the Canadian defense budget have forced the restructuring of Canada's defense policy. Now that cold war tensions have eased, many Canadians believe that the 7,900 Canadian troops stationed in Europe should be brought home. There are several reasons for Canada to retain a military presence in Europe, however. The permanence of the current detente is far from certain, and the economically unified Europe of 1992 will be more sympathetic on trade matters to a Canada with a defense commitment in Europe. In addition, Canada may wish to retain an influential voice in NATO policymaking. The conventional-force reduction talks currently under way in Vienna aim to reduce troops and weapons and to restructure forces along defensive lines. Canada should reconfigure its European forces to reflect this effort and develop a new security policy in balance with such concerns as peacekeeping, nuclear nonproliferation, and arms control in the Arctic and Pacific regions.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations.--General Assembly (40th session)United States--Foreign relations--Soviet Union.

ABSTRACT: In an address before the United Nations General Assembly, President Ronald Reagan issues a proposal for settling ideological conflicts in the Third World: The United States has often proven its dedication to the principles of peace and freedom for which the United Nations stands. At the upcoming Geneva summit meetings, the United States and the Soviet Union must discuss possible Soviet violations of international treaties, the use of force to spread Soviet ideology, and the development of defensive weapons systems. The United States proposes that warring factions in Africa, Asia, and Central America negotiate a peace. The United States and the Soviet Union can cooperate to support these negotiations. Finally, the superpowers should assist in the economic development of these nations. The United States and the Soviet Union should peacefully strive to advance freedom and prosperity around the world.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations.--General Assembly (39th session)United States--Foreign relations--Soviet Union.United States--Foreign relations.

ABSTRACT: U.S. president Ronald Reagan before the Thirty-Ninth Session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 24. President Reagan explains the steps the United States is taking to achieve world peace. Economic and personal liberty are the keys to global advancement and harmony. The United States has affirmed bonds to new and established allies, attempted to settle regional clashes, and sought cooperation with the Soviet Union in halting the arms race. America is open to relations with any country that reciprocates. This country has worked toward resolving Middle Eastern and Central American crises. In January three goals were outlined for Soviet-American communication: avoiding force in settling conflicts, reducing nuclear weapons stores, and improving dialogue. A comprehensive plan was proposed for discussion, so an impasse in one area could be offset by talks in another. With faith in fellowmen, peace can be attained.

Reagan, Ronald "A foundation for enduring peace." Department of State Bulletin v. 85 (Dec. '85) p. 1-7

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations.--General Assembly (40th session)United States--Foreign relations--Soviet Union.

ABSTRACT: An address before the fortieth session of the United Nations General Assembly. Although the UN's vision remains unrealized, its charter is still inspirational, and its successes are real. The United States is not perfect either, but it has tried to adhere to the charter. The fundamental differences between America and the Soviet Union concern the nature of man and the limitations of government. The upcoming Geneva conference offers hope for a fresh start between the two countries. Real peace is not based on repression, partition, mutual fear, or blindness to trouble. Economic freedom and personal incentive are the keys to development. America has a strong commitment to the world and will continue the work of the last forty years. A proposal for a regional peace process is outlined.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations.--General Assembly (43rd session)Peace.

ABSTRACT: In an address before the United Nations General Assembly, President Reagan discusses the apparent movement toward world peace.

Regens, James L.; Gaddie, Ronald Keith.; Lockerbie, Brad. "The electoral consequences of voting to declare war." Journal of Conflict Resolution Mar 1995, v39n1, p. 168-182

ABSTRACT: The conventional wisdom of national elections suggests that there are electoral costs associated with opposing declarations of war. However, an alternative literature contends that the negative electoral consequences of waging war may be borne by legislators who supported war, especially those members of the majority party.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Yugoslavia--History.Bosnia and Hercegovina--Politics and government.Yugoslavia--Civil War, 1991- .

ABSTRACT: Part of a special issue on Europe and the Balkan Peninsula. The war in Bosnia, a once-peaceful multiethnic republic of Yugoslavia, is the result of rising nationalisms, the legacy of communism, and international ineptitude in handling the crisis. Discussed are the history and national identities of Bosnia's 3 ethnic groups--Serbs, Croats, and Muslims; their incompatible goals and lack of political cohesion; the failure of communism to maintain peace; the incidents that led to civil war; the counterproductive responses of the European Community, the United Nations, and the United States; and the need for interested parties to accept that all 3 nations in Bosnia have legitimate interests and fears that must be worked out together.

ABSTRACT: Colin Powell's opinions about US involvment in Bosnia do not coincide with Madeleine Albright's, US Ambassador to the UN, and it is her belief that Powell's book came out at an advantageous time in the war against Bosnia. Future plans for Powell and Albright are discussed.

Rempel, Ron. "Restorative justice: does it work?." The Christian Century v. 104 (Feb. 18 '87) p. 156-7

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Religion and justice.Criminal justice, Administration of.

ABSTRACT: A recent conference in Guelph, Ontario, drew together 20 workers in the field of criminal and victim justice to discuss alternate approaches to retributive justice.

Participants agreed that traditional methods of criminal justice were developed for good reasons, but that the current system is inadequate. Restorative justice, which defines crime as a violation of one person by another and focuses on the restoration of relationships, may be the system of the future.

Renner, Michael G. "A Force for Peace." World Watch Jul 1992, v5n4, p. 28-33

ABSTRACT: The demand for UN peacekeepers is growing rapidly in the aftermath of the Cold War. Peacekeeping could become a ready alternative to warfare, if the world community moves to create a well-financed permanent force.

Renshaw, Edward. "Paying for oil security." Challenge (Armonk, N.Y.) v. 33 (Nov.-Dec. '90) p. 11-16

KEY WORDS: Petroleum--Prices.Petroleum supply and demand--International aspects.Gasoline tax.

ABSTRACT: America's appetite for oil and its resulting dangerous dependence on foreign petroleum could be curbed by a gasoline tax combined with other measures. The United States, which contains less than 5 percent of the world's population, consumed nearly 25 percent of the world's crude oil output in 1989. Oil production in the contiguous 48 states has been falling since 1970. While part of the cost of the multinational peacekeeping force in Saudi Arabia can be shifted to various governments in the region, it makes sense for the more affluent oil-consuming nations of the world to cover a portion of the cost with a special tax or fee on their net petroleum imports. Such a tax would help shift the cost of the Western military presence in the Persian Gulf to the petroleum consumers who are the beneficiaries of that presence. Internalizing the cost of oil security would also promote energy conservation, particularly in the United States.

Resnick, Karen. "Scandinavia's role in the United Nations : The first fifty years." Scandinavian Review Autumn 1995, v83n2, p. 34-40

ABSTRACT: The Nordic countries have long played an important role in the 50-year history of the UN: The first two UN Secretary Generals, Trygve Lie and Dag Hammarskjold, were Nordic. The Nordic nations' role in UN peacekeeping, humanitarian and development activities is examined.

The management tools that are important to achieve this goal include information management tools, people management tools and conflict resolution tools.

Rhodes, Terrell.; Brown, Roger G. "Divided we fall!--Employee perceptions of a legal prohibition on collective bargaining: a preliminary look." Journal of Collective Negotiations in the Public Sector v. 21 no1 ('92) p. 1-14

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Local officials and employees--Surveys.Local officials and employees--North Carolina.Collective bargaining--Government employees.

ABSTRACT: A survey was conducted in 1991 to determine public employees' attitudes regarding the statute prohibiting collective bargaining in North Carolina. In 1990, a similar survey was conducted of all county managers and a sample of city managers in the state. The surveys' results indicate that employees overwhelmingly oppose the ban on collective bargaining for public employees, while managers favor the ban. A majority of both groups agree that the ban allows for more conflict resolution opportunities than under collective bargaining. Part of the reason that some of the employees accept the ban appears to come from the fact that informal bargaining arrangements already exist, however. Employees believe that conflict under collective bargaining would not be greater than it is currently, while managers are overwhelmingly of the opinion that conflict is much less now than it would be under collective bargaining.

Riaz, Mohammad. "Afghanistan's peace prospects." World Press Review v. 33 (Aug. '86) p. 45

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Afghanistan--Russian invasion, 1979-1989--Peace and mediation.

ABSTRACT: Excerpted from the June issue of Afkar/Inquiry of London. A United Nations settlement requiring the Soviet Union to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan appears to be in sight. The Soviets now recognize that deep-rooted differences within Afghanistan's ruling People's Democratic Party make it unlikely that they will establish a Communist Afghan regime in the foreseeable future. Afghan resistance factions object to any UN accord because it would help legitimize the Kabul regime. After the Soviet military leaves, continued Afghan reliance on Soviet military and economic support may enable Moscow to reduce costs while still nurturing a Sovietized Afghanistan.

ABSTRACT: A first cut at the development of a rigorous theory capable of identifying when state leaders use foreign aggression in response to domestic turmoil is presented. A leader has the opportunity to use specific policy choices in an effort to persuade the public of her or his competence.

Ricks, Thomas E. "Sniper." Marine Corps Gazette Oct 1995, v79n10, p. 40-43

ABSTRACT: In low-intensity conflicts, nothing matches a Marine sniper as a surveillance asset and, if necessary, as a peace enforcer. If nuclear weapons symbolized the Cold War, then the sniper might symbolize post-Cold War military operations, like peacekeeping duty. Marine sniper duty in Haiti is discussed.

Ridgeway, James.; Udovicki, Jasminka. "Follow the leader." Village Voice Aug 1, 1995, v40n31, p. 17

ABSTRACT: The Bosnian Serbs, encouraged by the inaction of the West, have wrested control of all the territories they set out to conquer in 1992. The departure of the UN and its humanitarian aid from Bosnia will mean a greater catastrophe than has yet been seen in Bosnia.

Ridgeway, James.; Udovicki, Jasminka. "Bosnia lost." Village Voice Dec 20, 1994, v39n51, p. 23-24

ABSTRACT: The Bosnian Serbs have won the war in Bosnia and any US efforts to provide troops to assist the pullout of the UN peacekeeping forces demonstrates the shortsightedness of the US' Balkan policy. The bleak Balkan future is a result of a collapsing US policy in Europe.

ABSTRACT: Bosnian Muslims have vowed to return to the negotiating table to seek new concessions from their Serbian and Croatian enemies, but a United Nations official says that they have little chance of getting what they want. According to the official, international mediators feel that it would be "dangerous" for any party to present new demands.

Rieff, David. "The illusions of peacekeeping." World Policy Journal Fall 1994, v11n3, p. 1-18

ABSTRACT: The role of the UN as peacekeeper is discussed. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the UN secretary general, had private doubts about the UN's ability to be effective in the conflicts in Europe since UN operations in Somalia had already shown that the UN had no doctrine, let alone the military infrastructure, to undertake a peace enforcement operation.

Rieff, David. "Power and superpower." New Yorker Dec 11, 1995, v71n40, p. 4-6

ABSTRACT: Rieff discusses Pres Clinton's decision to send US troops to Bosnia to police the peace agreement signed by the warring factions in former Yugoslavia. Those who oppose US involvement apparently want the privileges of superpower status but not its burdens.

Rieff, David. "Bosnia's Fall, Our Failure." Harper's Feb 1995, v289n1737, p. 13-18

ABSTRACT: An excerpt from the book "Slaughterhouse: Bosnia and the Failure of the West" remarks that Bosnians should stop believing what the UN says because the UN has offered little support to ending their civil war. Bosnians must finally face the fact that no one really cares what happens to them.

Rieff, David. "UN : Make or break--Emblems of failure." Index on Censorship Sep 1995, n24n5, p. 47-53

ABSTRACT: Its failure in the former Yugloslavia shows only too clearly that the UN is out of tune with the world it inhabits. Chances that the rulers will change to fit the reality are, however, slim.

Rieff, David. "The Krajina war : Endgame for the United Nations." World Policy Journal Fall 1995, v12n3, p. 71-74

ABSTRACT: Between the beginning of May and the beginning of August, the dispute between the Zagreb government and the para-state known as the Serbian Republic of the Krajina was resolved by a swift and effective use of Croatian military power. This war and attempts to end it by the UN are discussed.

ABSTRACT: In an excerpt from "Utopia Lost: The United Nations and the World Order," Righter argues that the UN should be transformed by competition with other entities and selective analysis of its functions. The UN will have to end up doing less for the restoration of its authority.

Rivoallan, Pierre. "The Crisis in Yugoslavia and the Future of Peacekeeping." Peacekeeping & International Relations Sep 1992, v21n5, p. 3-4

ABSTRACT: The future of peacekeeping in the world is examined by investigating the civil war in the former Yugoslavia and by examining the role the EC and the UN should play in peacekeeping activity. The imposition of force by the UN, along with humanitarian aid, is essential for continued UN peacekeeping endeavors.

Robinson, Linda.; Chesnoff, Richard Z. "Haitian craving : 'To go after the bad guys'." US News & World Report Oct 31, 1994, v117n17, p. 28

ABSTRACT: Before 16,000 US troops acting as Haiti's police can leave the country, a civilian police force must be created and UN peacekeepers must be deployed to watch over it. Economic recovery, functioning courts and a bureaucracy are necessary to stablize Haiti and maintain confidence in the nascent democracy.

Robbins, Carla Anne.; Green, Peter S. "Into the Breach." US News & World Report Jun 29, 1992, v112n25, p. 44-46

ABSTRACT: It is asserted that economic sanctions may not be enough to keep order in the new world. The events that indicate that a new world order is unraveling at a terrifying pace, such as civil war in Yugoslavia and Haiti's military rulers' campaign of terror against their people, are discussed.

Roberts, Adam. "From San Francisco to Sarajevo : The UN and the use of force." Survival Winter 1995, v37n4, p. 7-28

ABSTRACT: Since the beginning of the UN, the use of force for UN-approved objectives has differed markedly from the UN Charter provisions. The two principal accepted frameworks for such action have been enforcement in support of a victim of aggression and impartial peacekeeping based on consent.

Robertson, Sheila. "High noon at western haystacks." Sierra v. 72 (Jan./Feb. '87) p. 28-9+

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Wildlife management--Western States.Livestock ranges.

ABSTRACT: Financial and environmental factors have led to a growing conflict between private landowners and state agencies in the West over the issue of wildlife damage, or depredation. Each winter, wild animals in search of food trespass on private land and inflict damages. Complaints from landowners have become more frequent as increasing amounts of key winter habitat are being developed, driving more wildlife onto farmland. Under financial pressure caused by the agriculture crisis, farmers are less able to bear the expenses of depredation. State governments that pay farmers for depredation are searching for new solutions. The Colorado Division of Wildlife, for example, has hired a conflict resolution group to bring together farmers, ranchers, resort owners, environmentalists, government agencies, and other groups for the purpose of devising more effective, less expensive policies.

Robinson, Gail. "Cambodia, continued." World Press Review Oct 1993, v40n10, p. 30

ABSTRACT: If UN peacekeeping forces withdraw from Cambodia as expected in Nov 1993, fighting is likely to escalate. While some believe the blame rests solely on the shoulders of the Khmer Rouge, others believe the UN is at fault for failing to stop the Khmer Rouge from violating a peace treaty.

Roderick, Tom. "Teaching students creative conflict resolution." The Education Digest v. 54 (Sept. '88) p. 48-9

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Conflict resolution--Study and teaching.

ABSTRACT: Condensed from the December 1987/January 1988 issue of Educational Leadership. A new movement in education is attempting to teach students how to resolve conflicts. In Chicago in 1985, a law professor developed a dispute-resolution curriculum for high school students that used role playing, discussion, and work sheets to solve ten problems over a six-week period using negotiation, arbitration, and mediation. "Conflict Manager" programs introduced in San Francisco about six years ago have selected students serve as mediators who settle disputes among their peers. The Model Peace Education Program in Brooklyn combines conflict resolution with units on prejudice, equality, and world peace. Over 300 schools have established student mediation programs. Teaching conflict resolution is an important mission for teachers because human survival currently depends on finding alternatives to violence.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations--Korea (South).Korean reunification question.

ABSTRACT: Korean president Roh Tae Woo addresses the 46th session of the UN General Assembly in New York City: Now that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has become a member of the UN, the two Koreas can begin the dialogue and cooperation that will lead to Korean national unity. With the collapse of the cold war system, it is possible to pursue national unification peacefully, independently, democratically, and on the basis of self determination. Perhaps more than any group on Earth, the Korean people yearn for peace, which is now within reach.

Rosecrance, Richard N. "A new concert of powers." Foreign Affairs v. 71 (Spring '92) p. 64-82

KEY WORDS: International organization.

ABSTRACT: History seems to indicate that a central coalition of world powers, united by economic interest in an open and growing world economy, has the best chance of success as an international regulatory device. The balance-of-power peacekeeping method, which prevailed during most of the 19th century and the early 20th century, did not deter hostile political or military action. Bipolar nuclear deterrence, which was in use from 1945 to 1989, was relatively effective but also risky and expensive. Rule by a coalition of powers is the most efficient peacekeeping device. Today, a new coalition of powers has emerged, with bases in the United States, Russia, the European Community, Japan, and China. The coalition can succeed only if all the members remain involved in international relations, refrain from ideological conflict, and renounce war and territorial expansion in favor of liberal democratic and economic development.

Rosh, Robert M. "Third World arms production and the evolving interstate system." Journal of Conflict Resolution Mar 1990, v34n1, p. 57-73

ABSTRACT: The causes of Third World Arms production are examined. Findings suggest that a Third World country with a large economy, which has achieved an advanced role in the world economy and which has suffered from an arms embargo, is more likely to be producing large amounts of military weapons.

Rostow, Eugene V. "A False Start in the Middle East." Commentary Oct 1989, v88n4, p. 24-27

ABSTRACT: Although James Baker claimed that the US supports peace negotiations in the Middle East that would be based upon United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, his policy statements contradict this claim. Baker's proposals are contrasted with the actual guidelines of the resolutions.

Rostow, Eugene Victor "Resolved." The New Republic v. 205 (Oct. 21 '91) p. 14+

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations--Middle East.Israel-Arab Wars, 1967- --Territorial questions.United States--Foreign relations--Middle East.

ABSTRACT: Though the Arab States have pretended otherwise for the past 24 years, there is nothing ambiguous about UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338. Resolution 242 calls on Israel and the Arab States to make peace and permits Israel to administer the territories that it occupied in 1967 until "a just and lasting peace in the Middle East" is achieved. When that goal is reached, Israel is required to withdraw its armed forces from some, though not all, of the territories that it occupied during the Six-Day War. Resolution 338, passed after the 1973 Yom Kippur War, makes Resolution 242 legally binding and orders the parties to carry out its provisions. Unfortunately, the resolutions are the subject of much confusion, even in high places. It should be recognized that Israel's legal right to establish settlements on the West Bank was noted in the British Mandate.

Rothman, Jay. "Conflict Research and Resolution : Cyprus." Annals of the American Academy of Political & Social Science Nov 1991, v518, p. 95-108

ABSTRACT: Protracted ethnic conflicts raging around the world pose a major challenge to forging a more peaceful world order in the waning years of the 20th century. A methodology used for conflict resolution training and intervention in the context of protracted ethnic conflicts, as well as its application to the Cyprus conflict as a vehicle for research, is discussed.

ABSTRACT: The perception of power, threat, and conflict intensity in an asymmetric intergroup conflict is examined. About 900 Arab and 900 Jewish high school and university students in Israel were surveyed on their sense of threat and security, the intensity of the conflict between their communities and power relations between Arabs and Jews who both are citizens of Israel.

Roush, Chris. "Reading, 'riting, and Robert's rules of order." Business Week (Apr. 4 '94) p. 83

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Aetna Life and Casualty Company.Business and education.Conflict resolution--Study and teaching.

ABSTRACT: Zoe Baird, the senior vice-president and general counsel of Aetna Life & Casualty, has been devoting much of her time since her failed nomination as attorney general last year to an innovative program designed to teach children how to work through disputes nonviolently. Aetna's hope is that kids will use mediation skills to resolve problems when they grow up, leading to less crime, fewer lawsuits, fewer insurance claims, and ultimately a drop in Aetna's legal bills. In the last year, Aetna has sent 8,000 mediation kits to teachers at middle schools across the country. In addition, Baird has been working with Attorney General Janet Reno on a yet-to-be-announced project targeted at persuading corporate attorneys to volunteer to work with children in their spare time, and she sits on a panel that advises President Clinton on foreign-relations matters.

Rowe, Patricia. "International Year spotlights youth's role in society." Children Today v. 14 (May/June '85) p. 26-8

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: International Youth Year, 1985.

ABSTRACT: The United Nations has proclaimed 1985 International Youth Year (IYY) to focus on the situation of youth--those from fifteen to twenty-four--throughout the world, through the themes of Participation, Development, and Peace. By the year 2000, the number of young people will increase by 60 percent, and in the developing nations, by 80 percent, with no promise that problems such as unemployment and inadequate education, health, and nutrition will find solutions. In the United States, President Reagan has declared an International Youth Year and appointed Dodie Livingston to head the Federal Interagency Task Force on IYY, which will coordinate events with the International Youth Year Commission. The two agencies have planned a calendar of events that develops monthly themes, including nutrition, careers, patriotism, international issues, education, the environment, and families.

Rowling, Wallace Edward "The future of the Anzus Treaty." Vital Speeches of the Day v. 51 (Aug. 15 '85) p. 645-7

KEY WORDS: ANZUS Council.Anti-nuclear movement--New Zealand.United States--Foreign relations--New Zealand.

ABSTRACT: In an address delivered to the Town Hall of California, Wallace Rowling, Ambassador to the United States from New Zealand, gives the New Zealand perspective on the current ANZUS problem. The ANZUS treaty is an assertion of common interests and a broadly worded defensive agreement to be invoked if one of the partners is attacked. In practical terms, it has been an umbrella for military interaction. New Zealand asserts that it is a conventional treaty and should remain so. ANZUS partners have supported the United States in Vietnam and Korea, have taken special peacekeeping initiatives in Malaya and Borneo, and have played an important role in maintaining South Pacific security. In 1984, the people of New Zealand voted to van nuclear weapons from their country, not to buy immunity or reject pro-Western obligations. An alliance should not depend on a point of difference, but on a recognition of common interests.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Parent education.Prisoners--Education.Cambria County (Pa.)--Prisons.

ABSTRACT: Part of a special issue on Project Head Start. An innovative program at the Cambria County Prison in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, is helping meet the needs of Head Start families affected by the incarceration of a parent. Funded by Head Start, the two-year-old program, "Behind No Bars," provides a pleasant, child-oriented area where children ages ten and under can visit with a jailed parent. This playroom created in a section of the warden's work area encourages an active family experience. The program also offers family counseling and parenting classes for all interested inmates who are parents of young children. The parenting classes, which average about 15 participants, explore conflict resolution, discipline, and communication.

ABSTRACT: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are playing an increasingly important role in peacekeeping and international development, but their efforts have often been criticized. NGOs and their role in international relations are examined.

Rufini, Giovanni. "The potential of non-governmental organizations in peacekeeping negotiation and mediation." Peacekeeping & International Relations May 1995, v24n3, p. 5-6

ABSTRACT: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in developing countries must engage in continuous negotiations and often take on the role of a mediator, especially in peacekeeping operations. The three main skills an NGO can offer that are extremely valuable are knowledge of local culture and systems, communication and prestige and AUTHORity.

Ruggie, John Gerard. "Peacekeeping and U.S. interests." Washington Quarterly Autumn 1994, v17n4, p. 175-184

ABSTRACT: The question of whether UN peace operations serve the interests of the US is examined within a broader historical and conceptual context. Pres Clinton's decision directive on peacekeeping (PDD-25) evoked a mixture of dispirited disappointment from those who had hoped for more and dismissive criticism from those who want still less.

Rummel, R J. "Democracy, power, genocide, and mass murder." Journal of Conflict Resolution Mar 1995, v39n1, p. 3-26

ABSTRACT: From 1900 to 1987, state, quasi-state and stateless groups have killed in democide nearly 170,000,000 people. Democide is best explained by the degree to which a regime is empowered along a democratic to totalitarian dimension and, second, the extent to which it is characteristically involved in war or rebellion.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front.El Salvador--Civil War, 1980- --Peace and mediation.

ABSTRACT: In a bold speech at the United Nations, El Salvador President Jose Napoleon Duarte offered to meet with the commanders of the Farabundo Mart National Liberation Front (FMLN), the insurgent Marxist-Leninist opposition, in LaPalma on October 15, 1984. After a day of hesitation, the guerrillas accepted the offer. Duarte announced during the U.N. address that if the insurgents put down their arms they will receive amnesty and be permitted to enter national elections in 1985. The Reagan administration reacted favorably to the Duarte initiative. The meeting will culminate a fitful march toward negotiation begun with Duarte's election to the presidency in March 1984. Conservatives are backing the Duarte move, with the exception of far right leader Roberto d'Aubuisson. The Salvadoran army's recent successes against the guerrillas may be one reason the FMLN is ready to negotiate. The Salvadoran people are cautiously hopeful. A chart explains the makeup of El Salvador's rebel forces.

ABSTRACT: Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres is attempting to initiate direct peace talks with Jordan's King Hussein. Hussein is receptive, but many obstacles stand in the way. In Israel, Peres has been under pressure to withdraw an offer made to the United Nations in which he suggested that Israel would recognize an "international forum" in the peace talks. The Likud faction of the Labor-Likud Israeli government believes that this offer violates an Israeli policy opposing international Middle East peace talks. Israel also opposes any involvement of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the talks, but Hussein has so far quelled hopes that he will exclude the PLO from the peace process. Meeting with PLO leader Yasir Arafat, Hussein worked out agreements on diplomatic issues but could receive no assurance of a PLO renunciation of violent acts against Israel.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Palestine Liberation Organization.Israel-Arab Wars, 1967- --Territorial questions.Israel--Foreign relations--Jordan.

ABSTRACT: New developments in the Middle East have sparked optimism about regional peace efforts. In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly at its fortieth anniversary celebration, Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres promised to hold direct peace talks with Jordan's King Hussein before the end of the year. Hussein responded positively to Peres's message and met with Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to discuss the stalled peace efforts and the effect of the Achille Lauro incident on the role of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Jordan and Syria also moved toward mending their divisions. The PLO is concerned, however, that Jordan and Syria might agree to deal with Israel without the PLO. Meanwhile, the White House tried to improve relations damaged by the hijacking. But the Reagan administration suffered a blow when Congress postponed action on a $1.5 billion U.S.-Jordanian arms deal. There was plenty of peace talk in the Middle East, but action is still scarce.

KEY WORDS: United Nations--Armed Forces.United Nations--Persian Gulf region.New world order.Persian Gulf War, 1991.

ABSTRACT: The use of military force by the UN for enforcement and peacekeeping purposes is essential to the new world order envisioned by presidents Bush and Gorbachev. Both leaders foresee a world order founded on the rule of law and on the principle of collective security. The Persian Gulf War provided one model of how the UN could be involved in maintaining international security, with Security Council members cooperating in a manner foreseen when the UN was founded. During the Gulf War, however, President Bush and the coalition members freely interpreted Security Council resolutions. Alternative procedures might allow national forces to be brought together under a unified UN command, or they might have each member country maintain units in its armed forces that are earmarked for UN service. Such procedures are not without their problems, but the opportunity to achieve a new level of collective security should not be missed.

This suggests that strategic threats may be an important factor in modeling cooperative games.

ABSTRACT: The main challenge facing the UN is improving the enforcement of peace operations and Security Council resolutions. The UN now has 18 peace operations, but without a real force of its own to back up its actions, its efforts are constantly being undermined. Separate interviews with 3 UN veterans are presented: Samuel Insanally, the ambassador from Guyana and current president of the General Assembly; Jose Luis Jesus of Cape Verde, the Security Council president for November; and Frederic Eckhard, associate spokesman for Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

Sancton, Thomas A. "The battle for Jaffna." Time v. 130 (Oct. 26 '87) p. 52

KEY WORDS: Tamils.India--Army--Forces in Sri Lanka.Sri Lanka--Politics and government.

ABSTRACT: Bloody fighting between 6,000 Indian troops and about 2,000 guerrillas from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, has claimed scores of lives. The assault came just 21/2 months after the signing of a peace pact by Indian prime minister Rajiv Ghandi and Sri Lankan president Junius R. Jayewardene. The treaty, which aimed to end the strife between Sri Lanka's Sinhalese majority and Tamil minority, called for an Indian peacekeeping force to disarm the Tamils. Tiger leader Velupillai Prabakaran has continued to push for political concessions from the Sri Lankan government, however, using his group's cache of weapons as a deadly bargaining chip. Tens of thousands of civilians have been caught in the midst of the subsequent fighting between the Tamils and the peacekeeping force, and it is impossible to determine how many noncombatant deaths occurred. Gandhi has sent some 1,000 additional troops to help with a final assault.

ABSTRACT: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE COMMEMORATING THE END OF WORLD WAR II. Nuclear warfare's potential for destruction is so vast that all nations must dedicate themselves to the timetable for general and complete disarmament established by the Final Document of the United Nations Special Session on Disarmament in 1978. The Japanese, who experienced the explosion of atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, know the horrors unleashed by radiation. Within six months of the bombings, 150,000 people died at Hiroshima and 75,000 at Nagasaki. A nuclear war could destroy the human population of the planet. If humanity is to survive, the five steps of the Comprehensive Disarmament Programme must be implemented by the end of this century at the latest.

ABSTRACT: Although King Hussein of Jordan, Chairman Yasir Arafat of the Palestine Liberation Organization, President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, and Prime Minister Shimon Peres of Israel all indicated some willingness to negotiate a peace settlement in early 1985, no one has developed a scenario for talks. Political and psychological barriers must be overcome before negotiations can begin. Israelis and Palestinians need to consider the pragmatic details of the settlements they envision. They must accept each other's existence and recognize their mutual desire for permanence. The PLO could alter political forces within Israel by renouncing violence. President Reagan should orchestrate a process of private and public communication between leaders of Jordan, the PLO, Egypt, Israel, the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Nations, and Syria that would build political support for negotiations.

ABSTRACT: U.S. public opinion against military action in the Persian Gulf should be mobilized through a public peacekeeping resolution. Opinion polls show that a majority of U.S. citizens oppose the use of force. Congress should be summoned to Washington to enact legislation prohibiting the introduction of U.S. forces into hostilities in the region except as authorized by Congress and only as part of an international force under the leadership of the UN Security Council. The president should be called on to negotiate a withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait, and the establishment of a UN peacekeeping force should be proposed. A public resolution would preserve the unprecedented international unity in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and maintain the threat of force against Iraq while efforts to achieve results through sanctions and diplomacy are pursued. A broad coalition aimed at empowering citizens would also allow the public some participation in crucial decisions.

ABSTRACT: The conflict between Sri Lanka's majority Sinhalese and minority Tamil communities flared up again recently as Tamil terrorists slaughtered 180 Sinhalese in the predominantly Tamil east and north areas of the island. The attacks ended a period of relative calm in Sri Lanka that began with the signing of an Indian-Sri Lankan accord in July and the arrival of Indian peacekeeping troops. The violence began after the mass suicide of 15 Tamil Tiger militants in police custody. In retaliation, Tamil Tigers executed eight Sri Lankan soldiers whom they had been holding hostage. Widespread murder and bombing soon followed, prompting Sri Lankan criticism of the Indian peacekeeping forces.

ABSTRACT: (Feb. 20) It remains to be seen whether the apparent success in Sarajevo of the threat of NATO air strikes, which caused Bosnian Serbs to pull back their guns and tanks around the Bosnia capital, will serve as a model for peace throughout the country. United Nations strategists in Zagreb and elsewhere caution that the lessons of Sarajevo may not apply as well in other parts of Bosnia, as a result of differences including terrain and local grievances.

ABSTRACT: (March 2) Defense Secretary William J. Perry stated today that the accord between the Bosnian Croats and the Bosnian government could lead to a broader agreement that would necessitate fewer peacekeeping troops than projected. A previous peace plan to carve Bosnia into 10 ethnically based provinces would have required perhaps 50,000 troops to enforce, according to NATO estimates.

ABSTRACT: The UN and the U.S. are working at cross purposes in Somalia. The UN wants to keep the peace in Somalia over the long term and to capture Somali strongman Mohammed Farrah Aidid, while the U.S. has given higher priority to a political process that would smooth the way for the departure of American troops. These mixed signals have transformed Aidid from a wanted fugitive into an important participant at the peace table.

ABSTRACT: The failed raid on a stronghold of Somali faction leader Mohammed Farah Aidid casts the United States more than ever in a combatant role in Somalia, raising doubts about U.S. goals in the country. Clinton administration officials said last week that the United States was moving away from the purely military goal of capturing Aidid and was seeking a political solution, statements that call into question the purpose of the military raid that left at least 12 U.S. soldiers dead.

ABSTRACT: At one time President Clinton endorsed the proposal for creating an international standing army whose troops would be ready to risk their lives for making peace, but due to frustration and setbacks in Somalia and Bosnia, the administration is wary of sending U.S. troops to make peace in troubled nations. Instead, the administration has returned to the post-World War II foreign policy that says when U.S. troops are put in danger, they will take orders only from U.S. commanders.

ABSTRACT: A section on last year's United Nations End-of-the-Decade for Women Conference. The Nairobi conference, held from July 15 to 26, has expanded the women's movement to a global scale. Over 13,500 women attended the unofficial "Forum '85," and 2,020 official delegates attended the "World Conference to Review and Appraise the Achievements for the United Nations Decade for Women: Equality, Development, and Peace." Three peace tents were set up at the forum to demonstrate that peace is a feminist issue, and speakers--often from embattled countries--engaged in peaceful, constructive dialogue. Disabled women, finding barriers prevented their full participation in the conference, formed the Disabled Women's Caucus. A UN compilation of surveys during the decade indicated that much work needs to be done before women's rights becomes a reality. Future conferences may be held at the UN, and New Delhi may be the site of another meeting in 1990.

ABSTRACT: (May 20) U.S. Adm. Leighton W. Smith Jr., the top NATO commander in charge of Bosnia, called for a weapons-free zone around the city of Tuzla in a confidential letter to the UN commander in Bosnia. The request, and the fact that it was leaked in advance of a reply, puts the UN in a difficult position at a time when NATO favors more military action against the Serbs and the UN is opposed to more action.

ABSTRACT: (Feb. 23) Much of the hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee centered on Bosnia, where a partial Serbian withdrawal was obtained by the threat of NATO air strikes. At the hearing, Secretary of State Warren Christopher warned that the Muslim-led Bosnian government would not sign a peace treaty without an American pledge to send troops to take part in peacekeeping in Bosnia. Christopher also confirmed that the United States would not impose tighter sanctions on Haiti and that he would make his first trip to China as secretary of state early next month.

Scriven, Charles. "The Reformation radicals ride again." Christianity Today v. 34 (Mar. 5 '90) p. 13-15

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Anabaptists.

ABSTRACT: Anabaptists have been maligned and dismissed for centuries, but their distinctive vision is beginning to gain respect from theologians. The dechristianization of contemporary society and the postmodern rejection of antiauthoritarianism have created a more hospitable climate for the Anabaptist heritage, which invites solidarity with Christ even to the point of breaking radically with the dominant culture. In addition, the threat of nuclear war has focused attention on the central Anabaptist themes of peacemaking and nonviolence. Theologians who are interpreting the Anabaptist tradition for today include John Howard Yoder, who argues that Jesus' life and teachings are our criteria for social and political responsibility; Stanley Hauerwas, who stresses unembarrassed identification with the Jesus story as the basis for Christian identity; and James William McClendon, Jr., who believes that identical ideals govern the past, present, and future church.

ABSTRACT: In his continuing attempt to stop the wave of unrest that has engulfed Israel's occupied territories, Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin has ordered soldiers to beat rather than shoot at stone-tossing protesters. Israeli troops with wooden truncheons were dispatched to the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and by week's end United Nations relief officials reported that hundreds of Palestinians had been beaten. The new tactic and strict curfews have calmed the territories, but according to Israeli security sources, an underground Palestinian steering committee has been formed to organize and encourage disturbances. Shimon Peres, Israel's foreign minister and the Labor Party leader, is pushing the Reagan administration to renew its peacemaking efforts in the region, but with less than a year left in office, Reagan is in a poor position to offer any new peace initiatives.

ABSTRACT: The United States has agreed to pay $540 million in withheld dues to the United Nations in recognition of recent UN reforms and diplomatic triumphs. The announcement came just in time for the financially starved world organization, which counts on the United States for 25 percent of its general operating revenues. In the past eight months, the UN has played an important role in easing several of the world's most intractable conflicts. Among the peace breakthroughs that it can take partial credit for are the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan and the acceptance of a cease-fire in the Iran-Iraq war. In addition to the U.S. financial turnaround, the Soviet Union has also begun to reduce its UN debt. The idea of the superpowers competing to support the UN would have been unthinkable a few years ago, when the United States began withholding UN payments to protest administrative incompetence and anti-Western rhetoric.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Iranian-Iraqi War, 1980-1988--Economic aspects.

ABSTRACT: Even as the tanker war in the Persian Gulf was heating up again, United Nations secretary-general Javier Perez de Cuellar was preparing for a trip to Iran and Iraq that could lead to a lasting cease-fire. As the new diplomatic moves began, the United States criticized Iraq for renewing the Gulf war, an untimely escalation that threatens peace discussions at the UN, abandons the moral high ground to the Iranians, and poses a greater danger than ever to U.S. naval forces. At the UN, there was increasing pressure on both Iran and Iraq to exercise restraint, and Perez de Cuellar's visit to the warring capitals was approved by the Security Council. The latest escalation in hostilities may convince the members of the council to press more vigorously for a solution to the war.

Sethi, J. D. "Steps toward reform." World Press Review v. 32 (Dec. '85) p. 39-40

ABSTRACT: PART OF A SPECIAL SECTION ON THE UNITED NATIONS. In an excerpt from the September 27 issue of the Indian Express, the writer argues that the United Nations has proved ever more ineffective at preserving the peace and protecting human rights and is sorely in need of reform. The major powers have taken war and peace issues away from the agency while holding fast to their Security Council veto rights, which have prompted the emergence of contentious minority factions. Many multilateral security groups now function outside the UN. Meanwhile, the ideal of disarmament has regressed to arms control. The UN has not been able to resolve issues involving human rights, global economics, or the welfare of the world's poor. The answer to these problems lies not in detailing the agency's failures but in passing the reforms necessary to make it as effective as it can and should be.

PERSONAL NAMES AS SUBJECT: Aidid, Mohammed Farah.

ABSTRACT: A bloody battle in Mogadishu, Somalia, is raising new doubts about United Nations peacekeeping efforts. With the recent U.S. air attack on Somali warlord Gen. Mohammed Farah Aidid's weapons caches, in which at least 60 Somalis and 5 UN peacekeepers were killed and scores were wounded in heavy fighting, what began as the U.S.-led Operation Restore Hope to fight famine became house-to-house combat. Even before the recent fighting, UN soldiers remained barricaded, venturing out only infrequently in armored vehicles, and relief operations that had been feeding about 600,000 Somalis daily were at a virtual standstill because the workers who ran them were gone or huddled inside walled compounds.

KEY WORDS: Great Britain--Military policy.

ABSTRACT: The United Kingdom recently outlined its new defense strategy, which emphasizes the risks and uncertainties in Europe and the world and Britain's determination to play a wider role in seeking to preserve international stability.

The defense policy notes that promotion of Britain's wider interests could be achieved by a variety of means, including military assistance and training, deployments and exercises, and support for peacekeeping and other operations. U.K. defense spending will total $46.7 billion in 1992-93, $47.3 billion in 1993-94, and $47.9 billion in 1994-95.
