Faced with the prospect of nuclear proliferation, nuclear weapons falling into the hands of non-state actors, and NATO's continued position of preserving the right of "first use of tactical nuclear weapons," Williams discusses the urgent need of citizen involvement in creating a new global movement to ban nukes.
Williams highlights the largely unrecognized efforts of women around the world in conflict situations to hold family and community together while struggling for peace during armed conflict. It is fundamental to involve women in all aspects of conflict prevention, peace negotiations, and peace-building, she says, if sustainable peace is to be achieved in conflict-ridden states.
Williams discusses "security" in today's globalized world, arguing that if the security needs of individuals and communities are disregarded, and all emphasis is put on "national security," sustainable global peace and security will not be achievable.
