Sinopsis Buku The Economics of Peace
In The Economics of Peace, Boulding explores how economics can be harnessed to promote peace and examines how economic factors drive conflict and war. He argues that peace is not merely a passive state that occurs by chance but an active outcome that results from intentional efforts and policies designed with the well-being of all parties in mind.
Boulding’s approach integrates economic concepts with the study of social and political conflict. One of his key contributions is the idea of a “positive world” versus a “negative world,” with the former representing a state where people cooperate constructively and the latter characterized by conflict and war. He contrasts these two concepts to show how policies that promote dialogue and cooperation can reduce conflict and strengthen peace.
The book also explores the role of international institutions and development strategies that focus on reducing inequality and fostering economic development as a means of addressing the root causes of conflict. Boulding emphasizes the importance of human development and education, as well as social justice, in creating long-term stability.
Kenneth E. Boulding, in The Economics of Peace, challenges the traditional paradigm that focuses solely on economic growth without considering the socio-political factors that underpin peace. Through his interdisciplinary approach and broad thinking, Boulding offers a framework for understanding the role of economics in maintaining and fostering global peace.
This book is relevant for readers interested in the intersections of economics, politics, and peace studies, as well as policymakers looking to design development and diplomatic strategies that support peace and security.
