N2  - Suggests that the world scientific community could make a significant contribution to resolving environmental and technical catastrophes, economic disasters, wars and ethnic conflicts. Presents the reasons why neighbouring groups of peoples have traditionally begun to fight each other. Demonstrates that mutual lack of trust based on inherited enemy images is the root casue of many conflicts, and proposes confidence building measures in which the 'enemies' work together on joint projects particularly where both sides are threatened by the same danger
