.GlenPearson: Peace Remains a Canadian Trait and the World Knows It | National Newswatch
“Peace on earth towards those of goodwill,” the old scriptures say, and it’s remained a distant ideal for millennia. Polls from many countries reveal a clear sentiment that peaceful co-existence now seems farther away than ever. It’s admittedly a troubled age we’re facing, and the spectre of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict preoccupies many. Nevertheless, evidence tells a more complex story.
Acknowledging this trend towards peace, co-author of the study, Professor Niall MacKay said: “The question of whether the world today has become more or less dangerous is a hotly debated issue among historians. Our study attempts to address this question purely from the perspective of what the data can tell us.
To many who hear of such conclusions, this seems counter-intuitive, even wrong, and they have a point. It’s important to draw a distinction between the data on war and conflict once peace breaks down and the general decline of peaceful tendencies emerging in societies where the rule of law and compromise have deteriorated.
