Previous bureaucracy and rule proliferation research has shown to be related to organizational complexity, organizational learning, rationality and path dependency. This paper describes the journey of a bureaucratic rule over the course of its organizational life. Tackling this issue becomes increasingly important when expectations for organizational agility rise as a result of new organizational structures and business models. The idea of rules breeding new rules resulting in endless proliferation of bureaucratic complexity is a timeless concern. The image of iron cage has often been used to illustrate the inescapability of bureaucracy. Eli McCarthy will present on a virtue-based just peace approach and his view of next steps for development. Lisa Sowle Cahill will present on how a just peace approach fits with the trajectory of Catholic social teaching and her view of next steps for official development. Gerald Schlabach will present on how a just peace approach arises from the Gospels, survey ecumenical work to develop a just peace framework, and anticipate some of theoretical and practical challenges that will need facing in order to elicit wide reception as an approach not only for civil resistance but for governance. Each of the three panelists are working on distinct books to address the issues of peacemaking, theology, and ethical method. Contemporary theological scholarship has offered an increasing variety of developments such as normative practices in a just peacemaking theory (Stassen, etc.), just peace criteria or principles (Cusimano Love), justpeace ethics (Sawatsky), virtue-based just peace approach (McCarthy), just peace churches (Thistlethwaite) and an ecumenical call to just peace (World Council of Churches and Enns). Thus, we may be at a tipping point for norm change. Some governments are starting to draw on the basic elements of a just peace approach. There is also movement in the Catholic community, including a Vatican conference that called for official development of a just peace approach and Pope Francis’ 2017 World Day of Peace message. There are ecumenical, interfaith, and multicultural expressions and recent developments of just peace. Description of the SCE panel: While just war approaches receive ample attention and analysis by scholars, the just peace approach is still relatively underdeveloped and appreciated. Their presentations were published in the June 2018 issue of The Journal of Moral Theology, available at. Other panelists were Lisa Sowle Cahill and Eli McCarthy. This paper was first presented as part of a panel on "just peace" at the Society of Christian Ethics annual meeting in Portland, OR, in January 2018.
