Conclusion

Abstract

This concluding chapter recapitalizes the central lines of argumentation presented in this book, namely that thinking and working for humanity’s long-term survival is interwoven with transforming conflict and building peace. The book’s key topics—the possibility of global war, the climate crisis, pandemics, emerging technologies, and the rise of proto-totalitarian politics—call for a vision of a “big peace” conception of peace interwoven with survival.
