Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Approaches To National Security Have Privileged State Security Without According Equal Importance To Human Security Or The Security Of The Individual, Its Ultimate Beneficiary. Neither Are Non-Military Threats Like Economic Instability, Ethnic, Caste And Communal Tensions, Demographic Movements, Environmental Degradation, Apart From The Continuing Menace Of Terrorism, Provided Salience, Although The Focus Of National Security Has Decisively Shifted From Inter-State To Intra-State Conflicts Within Regional Security Complexes In The International System. The Indian State Is Not Unaware Of These Looming, Non-Traditional And Emerging Dangerous, But The Enfeeblement Of Its Political And Administrative Institutions Has Adversely Affected Its Capacity To Meet These Threats While The Expectations Of The People Have Risen And Are Growing In An Exponential Manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgian government's handling of minority affairs is important in several respects. First, it is an important area in Georgia's integration with European institutions; indeed, Georgia is a signatory to numerous treaties that require it to reform its legislation concerning national minority issues. More broadly, however, it is an important element in the building of a democratic and peaceful state. Given Georgia's problems with externally inspired secessionism, the government's relationship with minorities within territory controlled by Tbilisi can play an important role not only in framing Georgia's future, but also in determining its attractiveness to those minorities whose leaderships have chosen to part ways with Tbilisi. Since the Rose Revolution of 2004, Georgia has been changing rapidly; and some of this change - even while aiming at the fuller integration of minority populations with the rest of Georgia in economic, social, and political terms - has caused frictions with minority populations, adding further importance to the government's handling of the question of national minorities. This report aspires to provide two perspectives on Georgia's process of national integration, with a focus on minority issues. The first contribution, "State Building Dilemmas: The Process of National Integration in Post-Revolutionary Georgia" seeks to identify contemporary problems and tradeoffs associated with Georgia's state-building process, with implications for the state's handling of national integration and minority issues. It is written by two of the Joint Center's researchers with particular expertise on Georgian affairs, Niklas Nilsson and Johanna Popjanevski. They conclude that while the Georgian leadership is increasingly adopting a citizenship based approach to minority integration, certain priorities in the state-building process risk impeding the introduction of sufficient safeguards for minority rights. Incoherencies and communication deficits in Georgia's approaches to minority integration add to tensions between majority and minorities, as well as between center and region. It is therefore essential that Georgia develops ways to accommodate its visions of national unity with the implementation of international minority rights, and that this process takes place in constant dialogue with minority populations. The second contribution, "The Georgian State and Minority Integration: Progress Made and Progress Still to Come," is a needs assessment study based on the work of the Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies (GFSIS) on the topic of ethnic minority integration in the Georgian state over a four-year period (2003-07). It is written by Ekaterine Metreveli and Temuri Yakobashvili. The paper concludes that while the Georgian government has been making demonstrated efforts at promoting the national integration of ethnic minorities, the activities have been limited in their scope and application to only sporadic interventions with the overall process still lacking the necessary mechanisms for achieving successful results. The study shows that a more proactive approach from the side of Tbilisi from whence governmental policies will not only be viewed through an ethnic lens will contribute more directly to the desired end.

Book excerpt: How are controversial national opt-outs managed and perceived in the EU? This article argues that the United Kingdom and Denmark compensate diplomatically for the exclusionary effects of their exemptions. A Bourdieudian approach to national diplomacy in the EU is developed to explore how British and Danish officials handle their opt-outs. By drawing on extensive interview data, it is demonstrated that the two opt-out champions employ various sophisticated strategies to overcome the dilemma between autonomy and influence. Some diplomatic strategies reduce marginalization while others enhance it. National opt-outs are ambiguous attempts at avoiding further European integration.
Download or read book The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences Engineering and Medicine in Higher Education written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, broad study in an array of different disciplines â€"arts, humanities, science, mathematics, engineeringâ€" as well as an in-depth study within a special area of interest, have been defining characteristics of a higher education. But over time, in-depth study in a major discipline has come to dominate the curricula at many institutions. This evolution of the curriculum has been driven, in part, by increasing specialization in the academic disciplines. There is little doubt that disciplinary specialization has helped produce many of the achievement of the past century. Researchers in all academic disciplines have been able to delve more deeply into their areas of expertise, grappling with ever more specialized and fundamental problems. Yet today, many leaders, scholars, parents, and students are asking whether higher education has moved too far from its integrative tradition towards an approach heavily rooted in disciplinary "silos". These "silos" represent what many see as an artificial separation of academic disciplines. This study reflects a growing concern that the approach to higher education that favors disciplinary specialization is poorly calibrated to the challenges and opportunities of our time. The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education examines the evidence behind the assertion that educational programs that mutually integrate learning experiences in the humanities and arts with science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) lead to improved educational and career outcomes for undergraduate and graduate students. It explores evidence regarding the value of integrating more STEMM curricula and labs into the academic programs of students majoring in the humanities and arts and evidence regarding the value of integrating curricula and experiences in the arts and humanities into college and university STEMM education programs.
Download or read book Integration Processes and Policies in Europe written by Blanca Garcés-Mascareñas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this open access book, experts on integration processes, integration policies, transnationalism, and the migration and development framework provide an academic assessment of the 2011 European Agenda for the Integration of Third-Country Nationals, which calls for integration policies in the EU to involve not only immigrants and their society of settlement, but also actors in their country of origin. Moreover, a heuristic model is developed for the non-normative, analytical study of integration processes and policies based on conceptual, demographic, and historical accounts. The volume addresses three interconnected issues: What does research have to say on (the study of) integration processes in general and on the relevance of actors in origin countries in particular? What is the state of the art of the study of integration policies in Europe and the use of the concept of integration in policy formulation and practice? Does the proposal to include actors in origin countries as important players in integration policies find legitimation in empirical research? A few general conclusions are drawn. First, integration policies have developed at many levels of government: nationally, locally, regionally, and at the supra-national level of the EU. Second, a multitude of stakeholders has become involved in integration as policy designers and implementers. Finally, a logic of policymaking—and not an evidence-based scientific argument—can be said to underlie the European Commission’s redefinition of integration as a three-way process. This book will appeal to academics and policymakers at international, European, national, regional, and local levels. It will also be of interest to graduate and master-level students of political science, sociology, social anthropology, international relations, criminology, geography, and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and comprehensive look at the reasons behind successful or failed nation building Nation Building presents bold new answers to an age-old question. Why is national integration achieved in some diverse countries, while others are destabilized by political inequality between ethnic groups, contentious politics, or even separatism and ethnic war? Traversing centuries and continents from early nineteenth-century Europe and Asia to Africa from the turn of the twenty-first century to today, Andreas Wimmer delves into the slow-moving forces that encourage political alliances to stretch across ethnic divides and build national unity. Using datasets that cover the entire world and three pairs of case studies, Wimmer’s theory of nation building focuses on slow-moving, generational processes: the spread of civil society organizations, linguistic assimilation, and the states’ capacity to provide public goods. Wimmer contrasts Switzerland and Belgium to demonstrate how the early development of voluntary organizations enhanced nation building; he examines Botswana and Somalia to illustrate how providing public goods can bring diverse political constituencies together; and he shows that the differences between China and Russia indicate how a shared linguistic space may help build political alliances across ethnic boundaries. Wimmer then reveals, based on the statistical analysis of large-scale datasets, that these mechanisms are at work around the world and explain nation building better than competing arguments such as democratic governance or colonial legacies. He also shows that when political alliances crosscut ethnic divides and when most ethnic communities are represented at the highest levels of government, the general populace will identify with the nation and its symbols, further deepening national political integration. Offering a long-term historical perspective and global outlook, Nation Building sheds important new light on the challenges of political integration in diverse countries.
