However, contrary to popular belief, diplomatic efforts for peace and the building and sustaining of democracy are not limited to world leaders alone. Effective communication across multiple levels and contexts, as well as an informed and educated citizenry, are essential for addressing crises, reducing conflicts, and maintaining peace. Without a strong foundation of effective global education and communication, societies' organizational structures become increasingly unsteady and susceptible to armed conflict, terrorism, political upheaval, and civil disturbances. As Wells (1922) predicted over one hundred years ago, "human history becomes more and more, a race between education and catastrophe" (p. 1100)"-- The promise of communication and education for peace and democracy -- Part 1.
