Experience and research have long shown an intrinsic link between human rights, conflict and development. This interdependence between different areas, doctrines, and disciplines calls for a genuinely coherent, holistic approach in International Affairs. With the challenges the work for the protection and respect of humanity encounters, this book intends to bring together articles and ideas that indicate the complexity of such an endeavor. The chapters, written by academics and practitioners encompass snapshots of crucial development lines as well as conceptual ideas and frameworks. In doing so the book provides insight to the principal understanding that peace efforts, encapsulating human rights, conflict management and development, can only be sustained and flourish as long as conflicting parties have at least a minimal consensus and will to settle their differences peacefully. As a Liber Amicorum for Joseph Voyame the book honors the determination for humanity and respect for human dignity and peaceful mitigation of conflict which marked his life and work.

The Analysis of Adolph Hitler, with Predictions of His Future Behavior and Suggestions for Dealing with Him, Now and After Germany's Surrender, was a two-hundred and forty page typewritten manuscript prepared for the wartime OSS, (Office of Strategic Services), by the Harvard Psychology Department under the supervision of Henry A. Murray, MD. The report was commissioned by the head of the OSS, William, "Wild Bill" Donovan and was done in collaboration with psychoanalyst Walter C. Langer, Dr. Ernst Kris of the New School for Social Research, and Dr. Bertram D. Lewin of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. The report used multiple sources in profiling Hitler, including informants such as Ernst Hanfstaengl, Hermann Rauschning, Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe, Gregor Strasser, Friedelinde Wagner and Kurt Ludecke. The work is considered a groundbreaking study and was the pioneer of offender profiling and political psychology, today commonly used by governments when assessing international relations.
