Welcome and introduction post
Dear All:
The International Academy has received a small grant from the Secure World Foundation. After careful deliberation of how to best use these funds, we decided that collaboratively writing an e-book about violence prevention would be a good starting project for the Academy.
This new e-book will have chapters that ask and answer hard questions, highlight the ethical and moral dilemmas, and set violence prevention on its best contemporary footing.
Therefore, we suggest that the style of writing be “loose” and “reflective” - a ” thinking out loud” which captures key issues and insights about violence prevention on paper.
Additionally, to ground the chapters in real-world experience and to keep them from becoming too abstract or academic, we ask that you focus either on a country you have recently worked in (i.e. as a “case study” ) or, practical experiences relating to policy and its applications.
We hope this kind of writing process will result in a book that gets beyond the surface treatment of conflict sensitive programming and preventing failed states to a deeper understanding and more “buzz” about the importance, challenges and ways to do effective violence prevention.
We have created a blog ( http://iarpv.blogspirit.com ) that will allow authors to post their material and others a chance to add comments too. This overall exercise of writing the book will provide the authors with a chance to reflect on their own practice and force us to examine our working assumptions, successes and failures in violence prevention.
Getting Started
So, to get started I urge you to visit the blog and look around to familiarize yourself with the layout and operation of the site.
There, you will see the list of Possible Chapters and you will be asked to select a chapter which you would like to be the principle author of or suggest a new chapter topic.
Once chapters have been selected (hopefully over the next 4 weeks) we will ask you to write and post a first draft for comment on the blog. The draft does not need to be very long (5-15 pages would suffice).
Please email your drafts to Evan at iarpv@yahoo.ca and he will post them online for you.
If you have any questions about how to add a new post or respond to someone else’s post then please email Evan Hoffman for technical assistance.
Please ensure that all drafts are posted online for comment by January 9th. 2006.
Once this has been done, please read the others’ work too and add your comments to their pieces by using the "add comment" button.
Please make your comments on the others' articles by January 15th.
After this step the International Academy will hire an editor to pull the material together and format it into the e-book. Also, a graphic designer will “spice up” the book with some interesting art and graphics.
The finished e-book will then be available to the public free-of-charge on the blog by April 1 2006.
Thanks everyone, and I look forward to us working together in a dynamic way to build a very interesting new book over the next 6 months!
Sincerely,
Ben Hoffman

Dear Ben,
Greetings from Belfast; I hope this finds you well.
I would very much like to contribute to your violence prevention e-book. May I write up a short piece on:
-new directions: future concepts and emerging trends in violence prevention?
Peace,
Patrick

Evan,
I'm really looking forward to this online dialogue with Frema Engel. Recently I read her book, Taming the Beast, and I was struck how the 4 "Rs" she identifies in the context of workplace violence are so applicable to the international politcal violence prevention work I'm involved in these days. Recognition, Roots, Response, and Recurrence.
The question of root causes is obviolsy central to any effort to prevent violence or to reduce it if it is ongoing. But 15, even 10 years ago I would not have agreed (easily, or quickly) that working in domestic violence ( cases of absue in the home, usually perpetrated by men on women and children) was really comparable to working in international conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Now, I'm a little more inclined to say there is a strong comon denominator: violence as the abusive use of power.
Before I got around to distilling my experiences in cases of wife abuse and the many conflicts and wars I've worked in for the past 30 years, I would have argued more of an "IR" explanatory model for inter-state violence and a socio-cultural one for inter-ethnic, intra-state violence. That is, I would think that the inherent anarchical nature of the international state system would be a central explanatory concept for inter-state war (and even in the case of insurgencies, one might argue the rebels are using violence because when push comes to shove where States are concerned, shove it is).
And of course, there ar so many helpful models to look at causes of international and intercommunal conflict (proximate causes, triggers, structural causes). And we could add to these analytical concepts and models, demonstrating the complexity of international warfare and insurgencies within states. That discussion would seem to take us a long way off from domestic violence.
What concerns me is the focus on conflict itself, including even the aspiration to "resolve" it. I have come to think that the conflation of the two words, "violent" and "conflict" cause many of us to misplace the focus of our analysis and the ways of addressing conflict, wars. When the words are conflated, "violent" is an adjective describing a noun, "conflict". I find more every day that I work in "violent conflict situations" it is really the Violence itself that needs attention, as a noun in its own right. So the causes of conflict become violence (perceived or real) and these are either direct, overt, operational manifestations of violence OR structural. Hitting, kicking, removing, or shooting someone is obvious violence. So I keep thinking, how can we prevent hitting, killing? And is that done by helping people express conflict nonviolently? Yes, but if the hitting and killing are indeed cuased by deeper rooted strucutral violence and my analysis goes there, when I look at structural "causes" of conflict they turn out to be violence themselves. They are not just curious cuasal phenomenon. They are again perceived or real violence that is being done to a person, group or society. Of course, it seems more than reasonable they would give rise to conflict: to the "perception of incompatible interests", to use a comon definition in the conflict resolution field. But they may also give rise to various forms of direct viloence (riots, assassinations, insurgenices, terrorist acts, cvil wars). And the cycle of violence is apparent.
How does that aply to domestic violence? I don't know and I'm not even sure my thinking about the need to focus more on violence as the abusive use of power is correct.
I'm glad this is a informal dialogue and as I said, I look forward to Frema's first round of responses.
Ben

There was this guy see.
He wasn't very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned "the facts".
Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,
"Son, when you get to the hotel room...Call me"
Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,
"Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?"
"O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me"
A few moments later...
"Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?"
O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then... Ah, call me."
A few moments later...
"DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???"
"O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom."
A few moments later...
"Dad, I've got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?"
