Nonkilling Global Political Science is a 2002 book written by political scientist Glenn D. Paige. In his book, Paige challenges the violence-accepting assumptions of the discipline of political science as a whole. Paige introduces the concept of nonkilling, which refers to the absence of killing, threats to kill, and conditions conducive to killing in human society.[1][2]
The book has been translated into over two dozen languages[3] and had led to convening the First Global Nonkilling Leadership Forum in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, 1–4 November 2007.[4] The book spurred the creation of the Center for Global Nonkilling, a United Nations special consultative status nongovernmental organization, and has subsequently led to a body of scholarship,[5][6][7] including dedicated issues in peace and conflict study journals.[8]
