New IPB Book : Whose Priorities ? In two Languages

A guide for campaigners on military and social spending.
By Colin Archer, IPB Secretary-General

This book is a follow-up to IPB's earlier volume Warfare or Welfare? Disarmament for Development in the 21st Century. While that work attempted to describe the nature of the problems facing us, the new publication sketches out some approaches to campaigning in opposition to militarism, and offers summary accounts of 18 projects undertaken by civil society groups around the world.

Full English text is available (see below). Published 2007, 76pp, A4 format, illustrated. ISBN: 92-95006-04-6. German copy is also available (see below), as well as FLYER.

Price: 15 CHF + postage. Discounts offered for IPB members and for bulk orders.
Order from IPB Secretariat. Methods of payment here.

Promotion Ideas

Some readers may have received by post in late 2007 a copy of our new book 'Whose Priorities?' - A guide for campaigners on military and social spending - together with the annual Appeal. This publication contains some ideas on strategies for campaigning as well as 18 concrete examples of current campaigns around the world. I hope too that you have had a chance to look at it and think how it might be used in your own work. Please pass it on to colleagues and friends who might be interested. If you did not receive a copy, please send us a message and we will get it in the post to you. We are keen to get this material distributed more widely, in order to build up our international campaign. So please consider the following:

  1. Electronic version: The full text is now available, but note that it is 74 pages

  2. Translations: a German translation is already available. We are planning to arrange translation into other languages before long. If you can help with this task please get in touch.

  3. Hyperlink: Please consider making a link to our site from your own website or blog.

  4. Ordering hard copies: Just let us know how many copies you can realistically use. The normal price is 20 CHF + 10% postage costs, but this is negotiable, esp. in the case of developing countries. We are especially keen to get it distributed to libraries, schools and colleges.

  5. Promotion. We encourage you to:
    - include a reference or listing in your NEWSLETTER
    - publish a REVIEW
    - distribute copies of the FLYER

  6. Additional campaign reports: we are conscious that the book does not cover all activities related to the theme. If you have a report on actions or programmes related to the struggle to reduce military spending and to re-invest resources in social justice and anti-poverty work, please send it in and we will add to the website. We are also extending the list of relevant websites and publications.

  7. And finally :
    Financial support. It costs quite a lot to distribute hard copies around the world. If you can, please send us a donation or book-payment to help us cover costs. SEE HERE : How to transfer money to IPB.
