Book Synopsis Negotiating Minefields by : Leon V. Sigal
Download or read book Negotiating Minefields written by Leon V. Sigal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against all odds, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines helped to enact a global treaty banning antipersonnel mines in 1997. For that achievement it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In this volume, Leon Sigal shows how a handful of NGOs with almost no mass base got more than 100 countries to outlaw a weapon that their armies had long used. It is a story of intrigue and misperception, of clashing norms and interests, of contentious bureaucratic and domestic politics. It is also a story of effective leadership, of sustained commitment to a cause, of alliances between campaigners and government officials, of a US senator who championed the ban, and of the skilful use of the news media. Despite this monumental effort, the campaign failed to get the United States to sign the treaty. Drawing on extensive internal documents and interviews with US officials and ban campaigners, Sigal tells the story of the in-fighting inside the Clinton administration, in the Pentagon, and within the ban campaign itself that led to this major setback for an otherwise unprecedented, successful global effort. Negotiating Minefields will be of interest to students and scholars of military and strategic studies and politics and international relations.

Book excerpt: Civil discourse is considered critical to democratic governance. Public perceptions of what that discourse entails - including a demand for a seat at the table - and the reality of what political elites and governments want from the public in the development and practice of public policy - the registering of an opinion - often conflict. Research suggests the conflict over unpopular government policy and the sense of disempowerment and disillusion in the public process often lead to apathy and a decline in public participation. Yet, in spite of a lack of sympathetic or even fair mainstream discourse, in other cases the public engages in sustained letter-writing and lobbying efforts, direct action and civil disobedience, leading to successful social movements. Using archival and historical review, content analysis of traditional and social media, interviews, and participant observation, this qualitative research explored the communications arena surrounding the attempts to site three different controversial mines in Wisconsin over the last 40 years to understand what moves people from apathy to protest and from protest to social movement. Complicating this issue in Wisconsin are treaty rights held by the Lake Superior Chippewa (Ojibwe) to hunt, fish and gather on public lands and waterways in the northern third of the state. With increasing global population, resource conflicts become more prevalent as extraction projects encroach on environmentally and culturally sensitive areas, leading to sustained conflicts and litigation. This research finds that historical precedent, past natural resource conflicts, and strong place-based identity prime communications about these conflicts and help structure a cultural sense of the worthiness of a struggle, but it is framing that shapes the perceptions of a civil taking via procedural, structural and environmental injustices that drives opposition to the streets. Predictive features include the perception of a powerful agent knowingly and even intentionally causing a perceived harm to citizens who have played by the rules. There must be concrete, broadly understood examples of perceived breaches of the social contract that erode trust in the agent, especially when that agent is representative government. The agent must be a clear perpetrator of the injustice, acting with perceived impunity, with identifiable victims with whom the public can empathize. Most critically, the victims must be deemed "worthy" of the moral outrage of those seeing the injustice, by following all the rules and having built up a history of struggle in the equivalent of the David vs. Goliath battle; and there must be a sense of efficacy based on a clear moral high ground to set the stage for hot button injustice frames.

Book Synopsis Arms Control Policy by : Marie Isabelle Chevrier
Download or read book Arms Control Policy written by Marie Isabelle Chevrier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, an expert on biological weapons offers a thoughtful examination of the political and technical issues that have affected the implementation of arms control agreements from the 1960s to the present. Arms Control Policy: A Guide to the Issues examines the history of the major arms control treaties since the early 1960s. It offers readers a broad understanding of the ways in which arms control agreements were negotiated and implemented during the Cold War, the international and national events that affected treaty negotiation and implementation, and how the arms control landscape has changed in the war's aftermath. Specifically, the handbook overviews the obligations contained in bilateral U.S.-Soviet/Russian and multilateral arms control agreements covering nuclear and nonnuclear weapons. It also treats such agreements as the Biological Weapons Convention, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Treaty to Ban Land Mines, and the Treaty to Ban Cluster Munitions. The book concludes with a look at the current challenges in the implementation of arms control agreements and the future of arms control.
Book Synopsis Ridding the World of Landmines by : Kjell Björk
Download or read book Ridding the World of Landmines written by Kjell Björk and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at how international treaties can be used to establish successful national programmes. It is concerned specifically with national mine action programmes, focusing on the capacity of the national governments (also referred to as "the state") to implement the "Convention on the prohibition of the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines and on their destruction." The Convention, which is also referred to as the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT) or "Treaty," was finalised on September 18, 1997 in Oslo. Ten years after its creation, the Treaty has proven a successful tool to address the humanitarian disaster caused by landmines, yet most of the mine affected country signatories to the MBT have not been able to meet their clearance deadline. This book examines the underlying reasons for the discrepancy between the terms of the Treaty and the reality of its implementation, exploring its successes and shortcomings. In doing so, the book sets out to answer the research question: considering the disparate levels of success among countries committed to implementing the Mine Ban Treaty, what are the key functions of governments and governance structures in ensuring the successful implementation of the Treaty?

Book Synopsis The Turkey and the Eagle by : Caleb S. Rossiter
Download or read book The Turkey and the Eagle written by Caleb S. Rossiter and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about not just the effects but the making of U.S. foreign policy. It shows how advocates of basing U.S. relations on progress toward democracy struggle in Washington with advocates of support for repressive regimes in return for economic benefits such trade, investment, and mineral resources and military benefits such as access to their territory for U.S. armed and covert forces. By arguing that the outcome of this struggle is determined by the average citizen's position, the book makes readers participants rather than observers. By arguing that a "cultural pump" constantly promotes a vision of American domination as a positive force in the world, it encourages readers to analyze the day-to-day effect of this vision on their own perceptions. Intended for a general audience, the book features enough inside tales and colorful characters to intrigue the casual reader, but also provides the clear themes and historical context needed for a high school or college text on U.S. policy after World War II toward the colonized, and then post-colonial countries.

Book excerpt: In addition to publishing the reprint of Bill Burke's iconic "I Want To Take Picture," Twin Palms Publishers is pleased to be distributing first edition copies of "Mine Fields," Burke's follow-up to "I Want To Take Picture," published by Nexus Press in 1995. "Mine Fields (a sequel to Bill Burke's justly famous "I Want To Take Picture"), is Burke's scrapbook of his life and his pursuit of the history and daily life of Cambodia. Part adventure story, part personal confession, part travelogue, and always fascinating, Burke's negotiation of the mine fields of divorce and war is a compelling collage of photopgraphs, found objects, stories, and the contrast between gloeious ancient temples and the horrors of war and genocide." --Nexus Press

Book excerpt: In this illuminating study of corporate America's most critical issue—leadership—world-renowned leadership guru Warren Bennis and his co-author Burt Nanus reveal the four key principles every manager should know: Attention Through Vision, Meaning Through Communication, Trust Through Positioning, and The Deployment of Self. In this age of "process", with downsizing and restructuring affecting many workplaces, companies have fallen trap to lack of communication and distrust, and vision and leadership are needed more than ever before. The wisdom and insight in Leaders addresses this need. It is an indispensable source of guidance all readers will appreciate, whether they're running a small department or in charge of an entire corporation.
