Sydney Peace Foundation 10th Anniversary Lecture, 2007
Promoting Dissent,
Reviving Democracy
Associate Professor Jake Lynch
Director,
Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies
Chaired and introduced by Professor Stephen Garton
Dean of Faculty of Arts, University of Sydney
World War II was won by The Allies.
The world now is a more dangerous place than at the end
of the Cold War in 1990.
The enemy in the invasion of Iraq was the regime of Saddam
Hussein.
The most powerful country on earth is the United States of America.
Right?
Think
again. All these statements are representations of conflicts, all partial and often misleading.
They squeeze out the views and voices of peace and non-violence.
To hear those voices and
to revive debates about the nature of democracy, we need to promote a culture of dissent.
