Suppose I could programme my computer to create a space in which anything could be linked to anything. All the bits of information in every computer at CERN, and on the planet, would be available to me and anyone else. There would be a single global information space.” (Berners-Lee, 2000, p. 4). These words were written by Tim Berners Lee to ex-plain the hopes he had at the point when he ‘invented’ the World Wide Web (www), following his paper outlin-ing the concept in 1989 and his design of the first world wide website, in December 1990. Since 1990 the www has grown at an exponential rate. Cisco Systems, the Califor-nia-based corporation that designs and manufactures web-based networking technologies, has estimated that data carried across the web globally by the end of the twentieth century, merely one decade after the invention of the web, was about 12 exabytes of human-produced information and communications media. To try to explain what this means, an exabyte is 1,000 petabytes, which in turn is 1,000 terabytes, and one terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes. Expressed more concretely, one exabyte can hold 36,000 years of HD video. In the projection of Cisco and other monitors of web growth, the www will pass another huge marker of expansion when, by 2015-2016, it will be measured not in exabytes but in zettabytes. A zettabyte is about 1,000 exabytes, and we are about to enter what Cisco analysts

This article presents a biographical account of Adam Curle, focusing especially on the development of his ideas on peace and peace studies and the impact these had on the evolution of the field at the level of theory and practice. In terms of theory, he established a broad conceptualisation of peace which merged both positive (fulfilling human needs and liberating human potential) and negative (preventing violence) dimensions. This broad concept of peace, initially conceived by Johan Galtung, became decisive in influencing the formation of the Peace Studies department at the University of Bradford in the UK, and now defines the majority of peace studies and peace research centres which have em...

Each year, the work of such outstanding individuals and organizations is given public recognition by their being chosen to receive "The Right Livelihood Award" (popularly known as the "Alternative Nobel Prize"). This volume brings together the acceptance speeches of award winners from 1986-89, who have been recognized for their development of new and viable solutions to problems in the areas of peacemaking, human rights, community health and ecology, and includes speeches from Frances Moore Lappe, Rosalie Bertell, Johan Galtung, Jose Lutzenberger and representatives from the Chipko Movement and Survival International.

The Ethnic Conflict Research Digest " This book uncovers a previously obscured relationship between different approaches to dealing with conflict, and in that it is an important contribution." - Terrorism and Political Violence
