Who amongst the following propounded the concept of structural violence ?
Answer: C
The concept of structural violence was propounded by Johan Galtung.
In his article 'Violence, Peace, and Peace Research' (1969), the Norwegian founder of peace research distinguished direct violence, done by one actor to another, from structural violence: harm built into social structures, such as poverty, exploitation and unequal access to resources, which prevents people from meeting their basic needs. From this came his ideas of negative and positive peace.
Frank is known for dependency theory, Kofi Annan was UN Secretary-General, and Barry Buzan for the concept of securitisation and regional security complexes.
