Abstract

A perception has been developing for more than a decade, reinforced by the publication of Steven Pinker’s The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined (2011), that both the frequency and intensity of violent conflict worldwide have been on the decline. More specifically, according to The Human Security Report (2005):

  • By 2003, there were 40 percent fewer conflicts than in 1992. The deadliest conflicts – those with 1,000 or more battle-deaths – fell by some 80 percent. The number of genocides and other mass slaughters of civilians also dropped by 80 percent, while core human rights abuses have declined in five out of six regions of the developing world since the mid-1990s. International terrorism is the only type of political violence that has increased. Although the death toll has jumped sharply over the past three years, terrorists kill only a fraction of the number who die in wars.

The author acknowledges with gratitude comments made on this paper by Dr. Ingrid Sandole-Staroste and Dr. Mathias Bös and other members of his editorial team.
