What is "Positive Peace" ?
(i) It goes beyond law and order.
(ii) It aims at providing wide range of welfare services.
(iii) It aims at creating a Police State.
Answer: C
Statements i and ii describe positive peace, so the answer is Only (i) and (ii) are correct.
Johan Galtung distinguished negative peace, the mere absence of direct violence, from positive peace, the presence of justice and of conditions in which people can meet their needs. Positive peace therefore goes beyond law and order (i) and calls for social justice and welfare (ii).
A police state (iii) maintains order through coercion and is the opposite of positive peace, which rules out options A and D; option B fails because i and ii are correct.
