ABSTRACT
The concept of alienation has multiple meanings, which can possess a number of social and political ramifications with respect to separation or isolation from the power to make key decisions that directly affect an individual’s life, if not an individual’s very survival within a larger historical context in the broadest sense. 1 As the nature of power is at its roots a socio-psychological interrelationship, the separation or isolation from the processes and sources of decision-making can possess profound consequences that can impact issues involving conflict and war.
