Abstract Blasphemy law (BL) has become a central issue for the international community in various parts of the world in the last three decades. In almost every case involving the BL, especially in Muslim countries, such as Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia, they are always responded with violence or threats of attack that cause many victims, loss of homes, damage to places of worship, evictions, stigma of being heretical, severe punishments, or extra-judicial killings. When international human rights law (IHLR) and declaration of the right to peace are adopted by the international community, at the same time, the number of violence related to the application of BL continues to increase. This paper aims to examine the ambiguity of the concept of the BL in Pakistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and how its lead to the weak of enforcement that creates social injustice and inequality. Then, referring to Galtung’s theory of structural violence and other experts of peace studies, this paper argues that blasphemy law should be included as a form of structural violence. Therefore its challenges these States to reform their BL in which its provisions accommodate the state’s neutrality and content high legal standards. Thus, through guarantee the fully enjoyment of human rights for everyone may support the States to achieve sustainable peace.

Feminist Perspectives

InGender and International Security: Feminist Perspectives on Achieving Global Security, J. Ann Tickner (1992) identified three main dimensions to “achieving global security”—national security, economic security, and ecological security: conflict, economics, and the environment. Much of the work in feminist peace studies that inspired early feminist International Relations (IR) work (e.g., Brock-Utne 1989; Reardon 1985) and many of Tickner's contemporaries (e.g., Enloe 1989; Peterson and Runyan 1991; Pettman 1996) also saw political economy and a feminist conception of security as intrinsically interlinked. Yet, as feminist IR research evolved in the early 21st century, more scholars were thinking either about political economy or about war and political violence, but not both.

This autoethnographic essay is focused on methodological space of “problematization”—the wrenching intellectual and emotional process (and lived experience) that a scholar goes through before settling into a long-term writing project—in this case travel to different parts of the world, in an attempt to explore the idea and experience of “Peace” in each of those places. Weaving through elements of family memoir, Georgia history, eco-criticism, and Peace Studies (across different sub fields), the essay illuminates the personal and liminal space of methodological engagement before field work.

Humanity has reaped great benefits from mining. Over the millennia that humans have practiced mining, there have been many obvious improvements in mining’s environmental and social impacts. However, some aspects of mining still involve an element of ecological violence and, in Australia, there is a growing amount of conflict concerned with mining. These two related issues – ‘ecological violence’ and ‘conflict’ – were explored at the ‘Mining in a Sustainable World’ conference on 13 to 15 October 2013 at the University of New England campus in Armidale, Australia. The conference was a joint initiative of the University of New England’s Peace Studies and Australian Centre for Agriculture and Law. Specifically, conference delegates were interested in exploring the work being done to reduce ecological violence and conflict. Articles in this special edition of the International Journal of Rural Law and Policy arose from that conference. This editorial provides an overview of the rationale for the conference and the issues explored.

The Voice

Este texto, que provém da tese, realizada no âmbito do doutorado em Ciências da Religião na PUC-Goiás (2010-2014), pretende analisar a renovação do pensamento estratégico, no combate a violência vivenciada no ambiente escolar. Os “Peace Studies” ou Estudos da Paz abordam e identificam a concepção de violência e de paz na concepção de alunos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola estadual em Luziânia – Goiás. O foco do estudo recai nos Processos Educativos utilizados a partir da disciplina de Ensino Religiosos que através da tríade Escola, Religiosidade e o Sagrado, tem por finalidade o desenvolvimento de uma cultura promotora da PAZ. Procurou-se, através do método explicativo, complementado por uma extensa análise bibliográfica e documental, encontrar e trabalhar os conceitos de violência; paz e do Sagrado. Como hipótese e guisa de argumentação, buscou-se compreender que a educação e todos os organismos que envolvem a construção desta em função da paz, podem ser a solução mais eficaz para o fim dos conflitos vivenciados nos espaços escolares. E o Sagrado, materializado na subjetividade da voz dos sujeitos e expressos e em desenhos, confirma isso.This text comes from the thesis, carried out under the PhD in Religious Sciences at PUC-Goiás (2010-2014), aims to analyze the renewal of strategic thinking in the fight against violence experienced in the school environment.
