Peace Dividends, War Profits is a comprehensive compilation of the proceedings from the Perdana Global Peace Forum 2005, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The forum brought together current and former world leaders, academics, business executives, and representatives from international organizations and NGOs to discuss the complex relationship between war, peace, and global development. This volume captures their insights, analyses, and policy recommendations on how nations and communities can shift from a focus on conflict and militarization toward peaceful, constructive alternatives that benefit society as a whole.

The book explores the concept of peace dividends—the economic, social, and political benefits that can arise when nations invest in peace rather than war—and contrasts them with the profits generated by conflict, highlighting the often-overlooked incentives that sustain wars. It includes detailed essays, speeches, and case studies that address global security, economic development, human rights, and international cooperation. Designed for scholars, policymakers, and peace advocates, the book provides practical and strategic guidance for building a more peaceful world while documenting the debates and proposals from a leading global forum dedicated to conflict resolution and sustainable development.
