Book Synopsis Gerechte Intervention? by : Stephanie Fenkart
Download or read book Gerechte Intervention? written by Stephanie Fenkart and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bewaffnete Eingriffe in innerstaatliche Konflikte sind in den letzten Jahren immer wieder als Ultima Ratio genannt worden, um der internationalen Schutzverantwortung oder dem Recht auf Selbstverteidigung nachzukommen. Sie stehen jedenfalls im Spannungsfeld zwischen dem prinzipiellen Gewaltverbot und aktuellen Realitäten, die ihren Ausdruck im Konzept der Responsibility to Protect (R2P) finden. AutorInnen aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Richtungen und Ländern setzen sich mit diesen und anderen Fragen auseinander und versuchen die Thematik aus mehreren Perspektiven und Blickwinkeln zu diskutieren.
Book Synopsis Civic and Uncivic Values in Kosovo by : Sabrina P. Ramet
Download or read book Civic and Uncivic Values in Kosovo written by Sabrina P. Ramet and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is driven by the conviction that the key to the establishment of stable liberal democracy anywhere in the world and, in this case, in Kosovo lies in the completion of three interrelated tasks: first, the creation of effective political institutions, based on the principle of the separation of powers (including the independence of the judiciary); second, the promotion of the rule of law; and, third, the promotion of civic values, including tolerance or ethnic/religious/sexual minorities, trust, and respect for the harm principle. In fact, there are problems across all three measures, including with judicial independence, with the rule of law, and with civic values. On the last of these, research findings show that the citizens of Kosovo rank extremely low on trust of other citizens, low on engagement in social organizations, and tolerance of gays, lesbians, and atheists, but high on trust in the political institutions of their country and in pride of their newly independent state.
Book Synopsis Intervention in Civil Wars by : Chiara Redaelli
Download or read book Intervention in Civil Wars written by Chiara Redaelli and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the extent to which traditional international law regulating foreign interventions in internal conflicts has been affected by the human rights paradigm. Since the adoption of the Charter of the United Nations, foreign armed interventions in internal conflicts have turned into a common practice. At first sight, it might seem that state practice has developed in a chaotic fashion, however on closer examination, specific patterns emerge. The book charts these patterns by examining the traditional doctrines of intervention and testing them against state practise. The book has two aims. Firstly, it seeks to clarify the current legal framework regulating interventions in internal conflicts. Secondly, it plots the emergence of new trends and investigates whether they are becoming part of positive international law. By taking this dual focus, it offers the first truly comprehensive examination of foreign interventions in internal conflicts.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Russian International Relations Studies by : Maria Lagutina
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Russian International Relations Studies written by Maria Lagutina and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-27 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook examines the study of international relations (IR) in Russia, giving a comprehensive analysis of historical, theoretic-conceptual, geographical, and institutional aspects. It identifies the place and role of Russia in global IR and discusses the factors that facilitate or impede the development of Russian IR studies. The contributors represent diverse Russian regions and IR schools and offer an overview of different intellectual traditions and key IR paradigms in the post-Soviet era. Filling the vacuum in international understanding of the Russian perspective on pivotal international issues, they demonstrate the continuity and change in Russia’s international policy course over the past three decades and explain how different foreign policy schools and concepts have affected Russian foreign policy making and the decision-making process. Providing a unique contribution to the discussion on non-Western IR theory, this handbook will appeal to scholars and students of international relations, Russian studies, world politics, and international studies.
Book Synopsis Multilateralism Versus Unilateralism by : Noële Crossley
Download or read book Multilateralism Versus Unilateralism written by Noële Crossley and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are various opinions on the relevance of the United Nations concerning the authorisation of the use of force. Idealists demand UN authorisation for any type of intervention and strict adherence to a narrow interpretation of international law. Realists have a more sceptical stance, arguing that international law and international institutions are only successful under specific circumstances. Neoconservatives defy international law and international institutions. These arguments are compared and then applied to several case studies. It is explained why unilateralist thinking is not viable; why the use of force in circumvention of the UN framework is never legal; and that cases where intervention is illegal but legitimate necessitate reform of international laws and institutions.

Book Synopsis Only the Dead by : Bear F. Braumoeller
Download or read book Only the Dead written by Bear F. Braumoeller and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that war is going out of style has become the conventional wisdom in recent years. But in Only the Dead, award-winning author Bear Braumoeller demonstrates that it shouldn't have. With a rare combination of historical expertise, statistical acumen, and accessible prose, Braumoeller shows that the evidence simply doesn't support the decline-of-war thesis propounded by scholars like Steven Pinker. He argues that the key to understanding trends in warfare lies, not in the spread of humanitarian values, but rather in the formation of international orders--sets of expectations about behavior that allow countries to work in concert, as they did in the Concert of Europe and have done in the postwar Western liberal order. With a nod toward the American sociologist Charles Tilly, who argued that "war made the state and the state made war," Braumoeller shows argues that the same is true of international orders: while they reduce conflict within their borders, they can also clash violently with one another, as the Western and communist orders did throughout the Cold War. Both highly readable and rigorous, Only the Dead offers a realistic assessment of humanity's quest to abolish warfare. While pessimists have been too quick to discount the successes of our attempts to reduce international conflict, optimists are prone to put too much faith in human nature. Reality lies somewhere in between: While the aspirations of humankind to govern its behavior with reason and justice have had shocking success in moderating the harsh dictates of realpolitik, the institutions that we have created to prevent war are unlikely to achieve anything like total success--as evidenced by the multitude of conflicts in recent decades. As the old adage advises us, only the dead have seen the end of war.
Book Synopsis From the Conquest of the Desert to Sustainable Development by : Ilanit Ben-Dor Derimian
Download or read book From the Conquest of the Desert to Sustainable Development written by Ilanit Ben-Dor Derimian and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2021-01-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Negev desert occupies most of the territory of Israel. It has a strategic importance for the existence of the center of the country and at the same time is considered as a natural wild periphery. Since the 1920s, there was a tendency to conquer and flourish the desert, while since the 1980s, the ecological values gained importance. This manuscript reveals the relationship between man and his environment, employing texts analysis according to the ecocriticism approach. The study shows how as part of globalization processes, the status of collectivism in Israeli society was declined whereas the ability of social groups to influence the spatial identity construction has increased. Dr. Ilanit Ben-Dor Derimian, lecturer specialized in Israel and Jewish culture and history studies, member of the Research Center of Foreign Cultures, Languages and Literatures (CECILLE), University of Lille, France.
Book Synopsis Debating the End of Yugoslavia by : Florian Bieber
Download or read book Debating the End of Yugoslavia written by Florian Bieber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries rarely disappear off the map. In the 20th century, only a few countries shared this fate with Yugoslavia. The dissolution of Yugoslavia led to the largest war in Europe since 1945, massive human rights violations and over 100,000 victims. Debating the End of Yugoslavia is less an attempt to re-write the dissolution of Yugoslavia, or to provide a different narrative, than to take stock and reflect on the scholarship to date. New sources and data offer fresh avenues of research avoiding the passion of the moment that often characterized research published during the wars and provide contemporary perspectives on the dissolution. The book outlines the state of the debate rather than focusing on controversies alone and maps how different scholarly communities have reflected on the dissolution of the country, what arguments remain open in scholarly discourse and highlights new, innovative paths to study the period.
Book Synopsis Die Schutzverantwortung (R2P) by : Peter Hilpold
Download or read book Die Schutzverantwortung (R2P) written by Peter Hilpold and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Konzept der Schutzverantwortung (Responsibility to Protect) hat nach seiner ersten fundierten Aufbearbeitung im Bericht der International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) im Jahr 2001 und der Aufnahme in das Abschlussdokument des UN-Weltgipfels 2005 weltweit einen Siegeszug angetreten. Das Denken und Argumentieren in Völkerrechtswissenschaft und –praxis ist mittlerweile nachhaltig davon geprägt. Dennoch bleiben viele Fragen in diesem Zusammenhang offen. In diesem Band diskutieren Experten des Internationalen Rechts Grundsatzaspekte der Schutzverantwortung. Diese wird in ihrer historischen Dimension analysiert, es wird geprüft, wie sich dieses Konzept in das allgemeine System des Völkerrechts fügt und es wird analysiert, welche Entwicklungsperspektiven sich für diesen Ansatz abzeichnen. The concept of R2P has found broad approval in international law doctrine as well as in practice after it was first introduced by the Report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) in 2001, and after its affirmation by the UN World Summit in 2005. It is fair to say that international law has been profoundly influenced by this new approach. Nonetheless, many questions in this regard are still open. In this volume international lawyers discuss a series of fundamental aspects of R2P: the historical dimension, the relationship between R2P and general international law and the dynamics surrounding this concept. In particular it is examined in which direction this concept is expected to evolve. Contributors include: Alex Bellamy, Enzo Cannizzaro, Martina Caroni, Thomas Cottier, Fernand de Varennes, Oliver Diggelmann, Andrea Gattini, Hans-Joachim Heintze, Peter Hilpold, Karolina Januszewski, Nadakavukaren Scheffer, Stefanie Schmahl, Peter-Tobias Stoll, and Lotta Viikari.

Download or read book Political Interventions written by Migros-Kulturprozent and published by Christoph Merian Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In welchem Verhältnis steht Kunst zur Politik? Lassen sich die Anliegen der Politik mit den Anliegen der Kunst verbinden? Wo liegen Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der elektronischen Medien im Spannungsfeld von Kunst und Politik? Der erste Band der Reihe ‹Edition Digital Culture› untersucht diese Fragen auf mehreren Ebenen. Eine exemplarische Rolle in diesem Buch spielt das Werk der beiden Schweizer Medienkünstler Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud. Sie haben mit ihrem Projekt ‹Zone*Interdite› öffentlich zugängliche Bilder von militärischen Sperrzonen gesammelt und konnten als Erste eine dreidimensionale Rekonstruktion des US-Gefangenenlagers ‹Guantanamo Bay› auf Kuba erstellen. Die Publikation zeigt, warum solche Fragestellungen nicht nur in den Bereich von Politik und Gesellschaft, sondern auch zur Sphäre der Kunst gehören. Mit Texten von Mercedes Bunz, Dieter Daniels, Stefan Heidenreich, Anke Hoffmann, Dominik Landwehr und Boris Magrini.
Book Synopsis Unauthorised Humanitarian Interventions in World Politics by : Christian Pohlmann
Download or read book Unauthorised Humanitarian Interventions in World Politics written by Christian Pohlmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question if states should intervene in massive humanitarian emergencies without a legal right to do so, is still object of an important debate in the theory and practice of international relations. This situation has not changed with the emergence of the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ norm, which stopped short of a right to intervene without a Security Council authorisation. The book assesses the impact of such unauthorised humanitarian interventions on international society and regions; it is written in the context of the English School of International Relations. Based on empirical studies the author argues that they can be progressive-constructive for international order, if conducted with explicit legitimacy, integrity, and great power participation. The argument is based on the analysis of six cases conducted between 1946 and 2005. Specific consideration is given to the cases of Liberia (1990) and Kosovo (1999). In sum, the book contributes to the solidarism-pluralism debate and the discourse on humanitarian interventions.
Book Synopsis Between Creativity and Norm-Making by : Sigrid Müller
Download or read book Between Creativity and Norm-Making written by Sigrid Müller and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time of the transition from the Middle Ages to the onset of early modernity (c. 1400-1550) is a very complex one. It brought what on first sight appear to be contradictory developments. Human creativity and freedom became much more important; yet, at the same time, the foundations were laid for systems that allowed control to be exercised over virtually every aspect of human social life. How can we put these two phenomena together? Which tendency is the stronger one? The contributions in this volume focus on the tension between creativity and norm-making from the perspective of different academic disciplines, so as to shed light on this fascinating period in our history.
Download or read book Logics of War written by Therese Feiler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern ethics of war is a field of disparate, competing voices based on often unexplored theological and metaphysical assumptions. Therese Feiler approaches them from the borderline area between systematics, philosophical theology and religious studies. With reference to G. W. F. Hegel's and like-minded thinkers' 'theo–logic' that negotiates Christ's mediation and immanent dialectics, Feiler identifies the logic and problem of mediation as the core concern of political ethics. Feiler unites five representative authors from now disparate strands of contemporary just war ethics, testing whether they offer a meaningful possibility of mediation and subsequent reconciliation: a sovereign realist and a cosmopolitan idealist; a rationalist individualist, an idealist Christian ethicist, and finally, an evangelical theologian. Opening the just war debate for comparative critical engagement, Feiler creates a fascinating study that locates a “dynamic point” at which faithful, free political action can be wrestled from irony, tragedy, and melancholic inertia in the face of totalitarian suffocation.
Book Synopsis Religious Credibility under Fire by : Leif-Hagen Seibert
Download or read book Religious Credibility under Fire written by Leif-Hagen Seibert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leif-Hagen Seibert carries out a three-step praxeological analysis of empirical data from field studies in the research project “The ethos of religious peace builders” that allows for novel assessments of societal conjuncture (field theory), subjective meaning (habitus analysis), and the mutual ‘rules of engagement’ of religious practice (the religious nomos). Over the course of this three-step argument, the sociological concept of religious credibility – i.e. the determinants of religious legitimacy – gains more and more contours and facilitates the reevaluation of risks and chances in a peace process where religion is a vector for both peace and division.
Book Synopsis Explorations in Urban Practice by : Katja Aßmann
Download or read book Explorations in Urban Practice written by Katja Aßmann and published by dpr-barcelona. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both a learning platform and a pedagogical experiment, Urban School Ruhr is built upon the foundational belief that experts and amateurs can, together, build a space of critical exchange and knowledge transfer. USR prioritises exchange and dialogue that is not necessarily attached to specific outcomes, results or interventions in built reality, instead understanding conversation as the first step to co-producing cities. Explorations in Urban Practice, the first edition in the Urban School Ruhr Series, draws from and reflects upon USR’s experiences to date whilst also looking to the future of urban practice in contemporary cities. The book presents the reader with key current questions in the field: how can we learn city making? How should we understand the political concept of commoning for this purpose? And how can we discuss intervention as a strategy for enacting urban change?
