This book sets forth a three-part proposal: 1) arms reductions - primarily the abolition of nuclear weapons, with necessarily concomitant reductions in conventional forces; 2) a four-stage system of global alternative dispute resolution (ADR), utilizing both law and equity; 3) adequate enforcement mechanisms, including a UN Peace Force. The core of this proposal is alternative dispute resolution mechanisms--international ADR. International ADR would consist of a four-stage process of compulsory negotiation, compulsory mediation, compulsory arbitration., and compulsory adjudication by the World Court. The fundamental proposition of this book is that the use of alternatives to war, global ADR, is the ultimate solution to the problem of peace. The full implementation of WPTL will entail a vast array of progressive initiatives on many fronts, including abolition of nuclear weapons, with the global rule of law being the capstone to all of these developments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to students of peace studies, arms control, international law, and world politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Taylor Ranney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138563641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138563643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"James Taylor Ranney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136517288191,"sku":"9781138563643","price":72.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fa6a747-c7cd-44b6-a3e6-0e5437a5a045.jpg?v=1770163183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-peace-through-law-james-taylor-ranney-9781138563643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
