Conflict Resolution And Prevention John Burton Pdf Reader

August 2017Monthly ForecastThe year 2017 marks the tenth anniversary of the Security Council’s earliest consideration of climate change. During the past decade, it has been a matter of some controversy whether or not the Council is an appropriate body to address this issue. Numerous Council members have underscored the security implications of climate change, but China, Russia and other countries have expressed concern that the Council’s engagement on this matter encroaches on the prerogatives of other UN organs, notably the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council. Despite the political tensions associated with addressing climate change, the Council has over time managed to engage with this issue in two open debates, in formal meetings covering a wide range of emerging threats to peace and security, and in informal Arria-formula meetings.

This essay the term ADR and conflict resolution will be used interchangeably. The area of conflict resolution is broad and it is felt the question of whether conflict resolution is 'fair and just to all parties' could best be addressed by focussing on one example of a widely used conflict resolution process.

John Wear Burton (2 March 1915 – 23 June 2010) was an Australianpublic servant, High Commissioner and academic.

Early life[edit]

Burton was born in Melbourne, the son of the Rev John Wear Burton, a MethodistMinister.[2] He was educated at Newington College (1924–1932)[3] and went on to graduate from the University of Sydney in 1937.[1]

Public service[edit]

In 1937 Burton became a member of the Commonwealth Public Service from where he was granted a Commonwealth scholarship to pursue a doctorate at the London School of Economics.[4] He joined the Department of External Affairs in 1941 and served as private secretary to Herbert Vere Evatt. In 1947, aged 32,[5] he became Secretary of the Department of External Affairs and held that position until June 1950.[6] At the beginning of 1951 he took up the position of Australian High Commissioner to Ceylon,[7] but resigned to return home and contest the Federal election of that year in the electorate of Lowe. As the Australian Labor Party (ALP) candidate he was beaten by William McMahon, a future Prime Minister of Australia.[8]

Academic career[edit]

While writing his first book, The Alternative, Burton farmed outside Canberra and in 1960 was awarded a fellowship at the Australian National University. Two years later the Rockefeller Foundation awarded him a grant to study neutralism in Africa and Asia. In 1963, while a Reader in International Relations at University CollegeUniversity of London, he established the Centre for the Analysis of Conflict. He then went on to hold fellowships at numerous universities while living in Canberra.[9]

Legacy[edit]

In introducing Burton as a guest on Radio National, Phillip Adams said; 'John Burton was probably the most controversial and visionary public servant of the 20th Century. Branded a pink eminence of the Labor Party by conservative critics, he was clearly one of the most important intellectuals and policy-makers associated with the Curtin Labor Government of the 1940s. As a close associate of 'Doc' Evatt and head of the department of External Affairs (now Foreign Affairs) he did more to shape Australian foreign policy towards Asia and the Pacific than any other person before or since.'[10]

Burton's theoretical work on conflict resolution has been highly influential in setting up conflict resolution as an academic discipline in its own right, which is very much needed in the modern globalised world because of the greater potential for disputes between different ethnic and religious communities. In Australia, Burton's work greatly influenced the pioneering course in conflict resolution at Macquarie University, Sydney.[11]
