On Peace

<p>This AY-09 USAWC Resident Student paper examines peace at the individual collective and inter-collective levels. It does so by addressing three central questions: first how is peace defined and what is its nature? Is it a natural condition or an artificially constructed one; second does it differ at the individual collective and inter-collective levels; and third can peace stand on its own as a means of policy relative to diplomacy and war? In essence can peace be waged?</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
