	Johan Galtung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johan Galtung (born 24 October 1930 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian professor, working at the Transcend Institute.
		Galtung, after founding the institute, became head of research until 1966 and eventually Director in 1970.
		Galtung has had several positions of trust in international research councils and has been an advisor to several international organisations.

	MS Nepal - Development Through Partnership
		Galtung believes it is a matter of helping journalists to become more sensitive to a broader and more complex view of events, and their obligation to report them more accurately.
		Galtung believes there is growing evidence that women in particular are looking for news about solutions to conflict just as they are looking for solutions about health and every other matter.
		Dr. Galtung helped to explain what all of these have in common, repeating that they are not simply quarrels between two adversaries as generally reported, but usually involve many parties (some of them hidden) who are jostling between themselves to secure particular outcomes.

		Galtung went on to say that a goal can only be deemed legitimate if it fulfils the principles of the three sources of legitimacy: law, human rights and the basic needs of any individual.
		Galtung also expressed his concern that in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on New York on September 11th 2001, none of the roughly 1,500 articles that he read addressed the issue of the terrorists’ motives.
		Galtung closed the talk suggesting that dealing with the emotional and political sides in a situation is not enough to resolve a conflict — an “intellectual leap” is needed.

		Galtung goes even further to state that since personal and direct violence are often built into the social structure, it is much better to focus on the bigger picture revealed by structural violence as this would reveal the causes and effects of violence and conditions for peace.
		Galtung (1985) states that the inspiration behind the structural violence idea was Gandhi’s approach to dealing with violence, where the structure of violence was the target of (Gandhi’s) non-violence rather than the actor.
		Galtung (1981) presented an argument that the peace concept that dominates contemporary peace theory and practice is the Roman “pax” and it serves the interests of the powerful to maintain status quo in the society.

	Improving American peace activism--Craig Dorfman
		Galtung includes in his definition any factor that in some way incapacitates a person who might otherwise have greater control over his fate.
		Galtung also describes structural or indirect violence, in which no one person or group emerges as a clear perpetrator, or indeed, when there is no such actor.
		Galtung states in no uncertain terms, though, that peace research and peace work cannot focus too narrowly on either positive or negative peace, or the work will produce lopsided solutions.

		Johan Galtung: It is indeed, and I know that it does not really fit in with the ideology of certain French academics who regard syncretism as a sin.
		Johan Galtung: You are quite right, my roots lie in Protestantism, but I left the church at the age of 15, on the day of my birthday.

		While Galtung would stress the ‘inner Buddha‘ in all persons as Quakers do with ‘that of God‘ in each person, Galtung is very telling in the loss of vision and compassion which prolonged violence brings.
		Galtung stresses the importance of experience, of being able to recognize common elements in different situations of tension.
		The wise observations of Johan Galtung with their emphasis on imagination will be of use to all peacebuilders - those who use the energy conflict generates to arrive at creative solutions.

		According to Galtung, they are the needs of survival, well-being, freedom, and identity, which he clarifies in a table consisting of four fields (see figure 1 below).
		Galtung divides violence into direct violence, for example, assault or war, and indirect or structural violence, that is, political, economic, social, or cultural repression and exploitation.
		Theorists of needs, such as Maslow (1954), Burton (19903, and the early Galtung (1980) generally neglected the aspect of gender, which is a shortcoming in the context of peace and conflict.

	Dimensions of Human Development - Research report on Basic Human Needs lists: Other lists: the four arguments ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Education (Stewart, Galtung), Galtung's choice in receiving/expressing information and opinion, Nussbaum's cognitive capability, Qizilbash's basic intellectual capacities and Doyal and Gough's ability to reason seem instrumental to a number of ends, including understanding, participation, identity, and creation.
		Galtung's cluster of 'creativity, praxis, work' and 'protection against heavy degrading boring work,' and 'self-expression' also would be parts of this same dimension.
		Its exclusion is more deliberate in Nussbaum's aristotelianism for several reasons, (108) although, in light of her concerns it is worth mentioning that Finnis' or Galtung's placement of 'religion' or the draw of transcendent among non-hierarchical dimensions of human flourishing represents a radical departure from Aristotle and aristotelianism which might satisfy her concerns.

	MediaChannel.org - NEWS DISSECTOR \| Covering Violence
		Johann Galtung seems like the quintessential professor: his white hair is a bit long, his conversation laced with academic phrases, often asserted with the certainty of someone who has integrated the keen insights gained during direct intervention in wars and conflict into a lifetime of scholarship.
		Galtung is a professor of Peace Studies, a discipline that sounds strangely archaic in these times, conjuring up peaceniks and hippies going to San Francisco with flowers in their hair.
		Like many gurus, Galtung has inspired followers, in this case a group of real-world journalists who are exploring how his ideas might be injected into the insular world of media, where the often unexamined notion of objectivity is worshipped uncritically and its disciples are rarely open to new ideas and ways of viewing the world.

	Gandhi and Peace Research
		This article analyses the Mahatma's contribution to the intellectual development of Johan Galtung and argues that those who want to make an informed study of deep ecology, peace research or Buddhist economics, and particularly those who are interested in the philosophy of Galtung should go back to Gandhi for a fuller picture.
		Primarily as a response to the work of Galtung (1969, 1971b), the central concern of peace research for many researchers moved from direct violence and its elimination or reduction (negative peace) to the broader agenda of structural violence and its elimination (positive peace).
		In explaining its origins, Galtung points to his desire to link the theories of peace, conflict and development; the emerging distinction between actor-oriented and structure-oriented social cosmologies, and 'the exposure to Gandhian thinking' (Galtung, 1975: 22).

		A simple definition for justice is 'to each party his due.' Galtung advocated what he termed to be a 'democratic concept' which leans towards parity, equity, and equality.
		Next, Galtung tackled the question of what peace is. Briefly, he described it as a 'capacity to handle conflicts nonviolently and creatively.' Peace is a lofty goal as it also requires the components of justice: parity, equality, and equity work in unison.
		After establishing definitions of peace and justice, Galtung was prepared to explore the central concepts of the conference: reconciliation and coexistence.
