- Abstract
The book of Alberto L'Abate, Per un Futuro senza guerre. Dalle esperienze personali a una teoria sociologica per Ia pace, is a wide reflection around the theory and practice of peace. The author brings together and discusses the work of the historical international thinkers of peace and resistance against violence, but he makes also a general reflection about his own practical experience in the prevention of violent conflict in Italy and other countries. The theoretical position of L'Abate is clear: violence is not a form of conflict and we have to consider together both agency and structural reasons of violence if we want to avoid it. However the struggle against violence is not just a pragmatic of action but also a moral principle. Hence, according to L'Abate, we can not renounce to a positive reference to justice.
