"Violence, Peace, and Peace Research": Johan Galtung
Purpose: "The choice is here [in this article] to make the distinction
between personal and structural violence the basic one; justification
has been presented: 1) in terms of a unifying perspective (the cause
of the difference between potential and actual realisation): and 2) by
indicating that there is no reason to assume that structural violence
amounts to less suffering than personal violence" (p6).
The Key: "In order not to overwork the word violence, we shall at
times refer to the condition of structural violence as social injustice"
(p5).
In other words,
negative personal peace = absence of personal justice
positive personal peace = presence of personal justice
