Conflict today and its demands on international society

Abstract

Assumes acceptance of the argument that, as the world has become a mere village owing to modern communications systems, trading patterns and the like, it is no longer possible for any individual, community or state to seek to pull down the blinds and ignore what is happening in other parts of the world. This is not merely an ethical issue – although believes that the morality of caring is much in need of an uplift, both in British society and elsewhere – it is a pragmatic and political necessity. Confines discussion to looking at conflicts at the levels where they involve communities or whole states, rather than individuals alone.
