When political beliefs are challenged, scrutinized, and disagreed with among and between friends, a dissolution of friendship may follow. This study aims to examine these dynamics and attempt to offer an answer on whether these lost friendships are redeemable or not. Findings were drawn from the narrative data provided by 15 participants purposively selected online. Results yield three major themes from the thematic analysis; morals precede friendship, unfriending is liberating, and only time can tell whether these friendships can be redeemed. There is hope that these friendships are redeemable. But the possibility can be realistically difficult.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":"34 1","pages":"303 - 315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46303264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The separatist insurgency that had emerged in the late 1980s, along with attendant military action, has claimed over 50,000 lives till date. However, the three major parties to the conflict, the Indian state, the Pakistani state and the Kashmiri separatist movement continue to have mutually-intractable positions. How might these positions be reconciled? Eqbal Ahmad’s proposal attempts to reconcile the three positions through the prism of “maximum autonomy with divided sovereignty.” This essay extrapolates Ahmad’s proposal, and presents two distinct facets to the solution: Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistin to become full territories within the Pakistani state; the Jammu region and Ladakh to become full territories within the Indian state; and the Kashmir valley to become an independent Kashmir state. The independent Kashmir state would share its sovereignty, to a limited extent, with India and Pakistan. This paper extrapolates the contours of Ahmad’s proposal, particularly in the context of previous attempts by India, Pakistan and Kashmiri separatists to force a resolution in their favor.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":"34 1","pages":"574 - 585"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48115886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inclusion of climate change in a UN Security Council debate in 2007 is considered a turning point in its acknowledgement as a security issue (Trombetta 2008; Rodrigues de Brito 2012; Dalby 2013; Warner and Boas 2019), and from 2008 it has been considered a high politics issue in the EU (Dupont 2019). The number of natural disasters related to climate change have tripled since 1960 (Meyer et al 2021). Climate change is considered a top global risk and a multiplier of climate-related threats. Unlike many other threats, climate change can be measured and its effects assessed through scientific methods. In addition to direct risks, climate change also has a role in amplifying risks in causal connection to it, such as forced migration and violent conflict. (Meyer et al 2021) It is increasingly clear that the risks are varied and a concern to several areas of human life. Climate change and its security effects have been analyzed in the securitization framework (Warner and Boas 2019; Dupont 2019) but there is still room for further investigation on the public perception of climate change as a security issue. This essay will consider the changing perceptions of climate change as a security issue particularly in the European context.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":"34 1","pages":"73 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44611561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Offering an in-depth qualitative analysis based on existing literature, official websites, published interviews, and news, this article demonstrates how nonbinary people from around the world organize online and offline activities to challenge heterosexuality and patriarchy as main obstacles to land, food, and climate justice.

They are the first to die; the first to contract disease and infection; and the last to receive resources and medicines when they are handed out... not only is disability caused by conflict, but conflict and displacement exacerbate existing barriers and challenges experienced by those already affected by disability, such as access to security, information, aid, and other basic needs.” So states Roberta L. Francis in her 2019 article, “Searching for the Voice of People with Disabilities in Peace and Conflict Research and Practice.” Peace studies as a field is intrinsically tied together with disability discourse, a fact sadly unheeded in the vast majority of peace studies literature (with acknowledgement to Peace Studies’ special issue on disabilities (vol. 31 iss. 4) also published in 2019. As Wolbring notes, “disabled people highlight one particular factor in peace and conflict that is omnipresent... conflict based on divergent ability expectations (2011).” Therefore, this article seeks to add to the emerging interplay between peace and disability studies by looking at the ethics of the built environment as a shared medium highlighting the natural connections between the fields. Breaking Francis’ statement into discrete parts, each definition can offer insight into how disability studies and peace studies might begin to coalesce. To begin, how are we to understand the group of people that Francis categorizes as “people with disabilities?” Various fields use a diverse array of definitions to mark boundaries between who is disabled and who isn’t, with broad groupings dividing into a number of divergent","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":"34 1","pages":"82 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47736683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The drivers have traditionally been economic and social although the role of environmental degradation has been largely overlooked. As the populations of towns and cities have grown in PICTs, urban population densities have increased and available land for expansion has been restricted. Accordingly, many urban migrants live in informal peri urban settlements with little or no land security and limited government services such as sanitation, water supply and electricity. Employment is difficult to find and there are significant amounts of poverty. In this context there are high levels of individual and human insecurity and crimes including violence are often attributed to these problems. In some countries land related violence in urban areas has escalated into major conflicts. More recently climate change has been seen as an additional driver of urbanization and its role is expected to increase, although separating the social, economic and climate change causes is extremely difficult if not impossible. Already some communities have been relocated in several countries and some individual or family migration has been attributed to deteriorating human (land, livelihood, and habitat) security caused by climate change in rural areas. Because in most PICTs there are few alternatives, urban areas are likely to be the destinations for many climate change migrants and urbanization rates can be expected to further increase. Moreover, as options for settlement in peri urban areas lessen and numbers grow, more migrants are likely to find themselves occupying densely populated and increasingly environmentally marginal areas (such as steep and unstable slopes, river flood plains and low-lying coastal areas) that may be as exposed as their original homes. At the same time many of the migrants may be facing increasing social and economic insecurity related to urban living.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":"34 1","pages":"11 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45396589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
