Mar 2, 2026 - Abolition of War

When: March 2nd, 5pm
Where: Friends House, 60 Lowther

45 years ago, Gene Sharp contended, in this award-winning article, that war can realistically be abolished - if societies prepare for a credible, civilian-based nonviolent defense system capable of deterring and defeating aggression. Today, however, we are no closer to the abolition of war than in 1980. Is Sharp's notion of civilian-based defence defective? Can we modify Sharp's approach to make this abolition a realistic goal?
