Processes of the Lesser Peace
Is Peace Possible?
Universal peace has been the goal and dream of humanity for centuries. Yet it has remained elusive: the upheavals, wars and terrorism of the last and present centuries seem to belie the possibility of its achievement.
Bahá’ís expect peace to come in stages. First, a Lesser Peace, ‘a political unity arrived at by decision of various governments of the world’ during which the unity of nations will be achieved, and then, over time, the Most Great Peace, ‘the spiritual as well as social and political unity of mankind’.
Bahá’ís believe that the Lesser Peace is gradually being established. Just why they believe this and how this is happening is explored in this collection of essays presented at conferences of the Bahá’í Politics and International Law Special Interest Group of the Association of Bahá’í Studies, English-Speaking Europe by academics and practitioners in the fields of international law, the environment, government and economics.
