Also, a response to your and other concerns. we all seem to want better organizations, but perhaps the institutions are what have failed the world..
if each person were idealistic, each individual encounter and project would be more productive and harmonius

Nice hearing from you. Pls feel free to join our Africa Peace... group in this Network, and also to register and join our email listserv on our official and more developed site: africapeace.org.

Also, since our group site here is so new, it'd be great if you would add appropriate/salient(African-related) content to this brand new page. Thanks much and best wishes!
PS. Agreed - migration is innately human and extends back to the emergence of homo sapiens subspecies (indeed, migration was intimately involved in the evolution of our subspecies)

I admire the work of David Harvey and Saskia Sassen very much, but my own work is somewhat different. I disagree with you that migration is causing problems. Migration is as old as human history. Human beings have been migrating for more than one hundred thousand years. The problem is the creation of borders which began with the emergence of the nation-state. The global economy has made borders obsolete from an economic perspective but politics is outdated and needs to catch up by adopting a similar flexibility.

Sub: Again violence in India & Solutions- for the quarry of ‘pedro de araujo dos santos’
For your question, how to solve violence/violent groups?
Right Strategy is 2 fold: 1. Philosophical 2. Personal
1. Philosophical: All (rebels, terrorists or any groups) all have reasons for violence. But reasons are as Philosopher Martin Heidegger said, like unending horizons (there are so many layers of reasons on both sides. No quick fix; an attitude of judging the other as fools is never a solution. So the approach is dialogical - dialogue, dialogue again dialogue.
2. Personal: As Martin Buber said the approach is an attitude from “I-it to I-Thou” relationship, respect for one another. With this attitude of dialogue, each side is able to realize how much they harm, are selfish and how much they can give up for without destroying ‘self but giving up ‘selfishness’.
NB: Permanent future strategy should be education on nonviolence in all schools and try to deprive availability of all instruments of violence (arms, pistol etc).

Vishwanath,
Many thanks for your comment. I also like the work of Saskia Sassen, and my work resembles hers a lot. Currently, I am writing a book on migration policy, trying to humanize migration and respecting immigrant and worker rights. I, too, wish for a world free of poverty and war. Peace be upon you, Christine

Thanks for adding us (ToWo) as your friend. Looking at your short Bio here, we have probably crisscrossed each other sometime :-) either in Gujarat which I love and was sad to hear of the devastation there, or in Kerala, both places that I enjoyed lengthy times at. Kindly JD
