Book excerpt: The Theory of Contestation advances critical norms research in international relations. It scrutinises the uses of ‘contestation’ in international relations theories with regard to its descriptive and normative potential. To that end, critical investigations into international relations are conducted based on three thinking tools from public philosophy and the social sciences: The normativity premise, the diversity premise and cultural cosmopolitanism. The resulting theory of contestation entails four main features, namely types of norms, modes of contestation, segments of norms and the cycle of contestation. The theory distinguishes between the principle of contestedness and the practice of contestation and argues that, if contestedness is accepted as a meta-organising principle of global governance, regular access to contestation for all involved stakeholders will enhance legitimate governance in the global realm.

Book excerpt: "In April of 1974, during the sixth special session of the United Nations General Assembly,a coalition of 134 developing states introduced the Declaration for the Establishment of a NewInternational Order (NIEO). This agenda aimed to renegotiate the terms of international trade andlaw, fiscal policy, and development aid. The NIEO's proponents were unable to secure a moreequitable international economic order. Instead, key industrialized states in the North won keybattles in public international law and accorded unprecedented protection to internationalinvestment that dismantled the NIEO's primary drive of granting developing states' absolutesovereignty over their natural resources. Scholars studying the NIEO posit that that the agendachallenged the very foundations of the postwar liberal order. More recent literature also attributesthe failure of the NIEO to the success of the neoliberal agenda of the 1980s. This thesis asks, onwhat grounds did the NIEO challenge the postwar liberal order and what specifically links theNIEO to global neoliberalism?Careful primary text analysis of UN archival documents reveals that the NIEO recast thefundamental norm of sovereign equality by designing an international nationalization lawframework, by seeking the establishment of a UN Special Fund, and by aiming for the expansionof a generalized system of preferences for developing countries. Thus, a central claim of this thesisis that the NIEO contested the legal and economic foundations of the postwar order. Furtheranalysis of foreign policy communiqués and policy responses from the industrialized Global Northsuggests that developed countries countered the NIEO with a strategy of policy reformulation. Byemploying process-tracing, I chart how specific NIEO principles were reformulated by the Northto secure policy outcomes antithetical to the NIEO's original mission. These policy reformulationssubsequently facilitated the rise of global neoliberalism in the decades to come.Finally, by drawing from Antje Wiener's theory of contestation and practice theory'snotion of competency, I advance the concept of "competent contestation" to capture the theoreticalsignificance of the NIEO. In doing so, I suggest that contestation can be spatially, procedurally,and relationally competent"--
Download or read book International Perspectives on Competence in the Workplace written by C.R. Velde and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the future a more competent workforce will be required as workers will have to acquire the competence to predict and deal with novel situations at work. This book aims to provide the reader with insightful perspectives about competence in different situations and contexts. It presents a more enlightened view of human competence by opening up an international dialogue about the meaning and interpretation of competence in the workplace, and the impact of learning environments on workplace policy and practice. Five major premises which provide a basis for how we interpret, experience, and teach competence in the workplace are put forward: notions of worker competence, and the persuasiveness of informal workplace training; developing competence as an individual, and the inherent relationship between the worker and work, and the lifeworld; learning which develops higher level competences based on a more holistic conception of competence; characteristics of learning environments as integral components of learning at work; learning environments construed as theoretical and methodological problems in terms of their impact on the acquisition of competence.

Download or read book Appeals to Interest written by Dean Mathiowetz and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become a commonplace assumption in modern political debate that white and rural working- and middle-class citizens in the United States who have been rallied by Republicans in the “culture wars” to vote Republican have been voting “against their interests.” But what, exactly, are these “interests” that these voters are supposed to have been voting against? It reveals a lot about the role of the notion of interest in political debate today to realize that these “interests” are taken for granted to be the narrowly self-regarding, primarily economic “interests” of the individual. Exposing and contesting this view of interests, Dean Mathiowetz finds in the language of interest an already potent critique of neoliberal political, theoretical, and methodological imperatives—and shows how such a critique has long been active in the term’s rich history. Through an innovative historical investigation of the language of interest, Mathiowetz shows that appeals to interest are always politically contestable claims about “who” somebody is—and a provocation to action on behalf of that “who.” Appeals to Interest exposes the theoretical and political costs of our widespread denial of this crucial role of interest-talk in the constitution of political identity, in political theory and social science alike.
Download or read book Contested World Orders written by Matthew D. Stephen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World orders are increasingly contested. As international institutions have taken on ever more ambitious tasks, they have been challenged by rising powers dissatisfied with existing institutional inequalities, by non-governmental organizations worried about the direction of global governance, and even by some established powers no longer content to lead the institutions they themselves created. For the first time, this volume examines these sources of contestation under a common and systematic institutionalist framework. While the authority of institutions has deepened, at the same time it has fuelled contestation and resistance. In a series of rigorous and empirically revealing chapters, the authors of Contested World Orders examine systematically the demands of key actors in the contestation of international institutions. Ranging in scope from the World Trade Organization and the Nuclear Non-proliferation Regime to the Kimberley Process on conflict diamonds and the climate finance provisions of the UNFCCC, the chapters deploy a variety of methods to reveal just to what extent, and along which lines of conflict, rising powers and NGOs contest international institutions. Contested World Orders seeks answers to the key questions of our time: Exactly how deeply are international institutions contested? Which actors seek the most fundamental changes? Which aspects of international institutions have generated the most transnational conflicts? And what does this mean for the future of world order?
Download or read book Litigating for the Environment written by Reinhard Slepcevic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of doctoral studies that I started in October 2004. At the outset, I only knew that I wanted to work on interest groups and litigation in the context of the European Union. At that time, I would not have believed that I would find myself some time later touring half Western Europe to interview environmental organisations, nor that I would read French, German and Dutch court rulings on the protection of endangered species whose names were completely unknown to me. Yet I never regretted my choice of topic, and hopefully the following chapters will convince the reader that it is indeed a topic that merits our attention. I would not have been able to cope with all the pitfalls of a long research project without the strong and enduring support of my friends and colleagues. Both personally and academically, I have profited enormously from my three years as a doctoral student at the department of political science at the Institute for Advanced Studies (Institut für Höhere Studien) in Vienna, Austria. I am very much indebted to Gerda Falkner, Oliver Treib, Sylvia Kritzinger and Irina Michalowitz for organising such a great programme which allowed me and my colleagues to engage in intensive discussions with outstanding academic scholars such as Alec Stone-Sweet, Paul Pierson, James Caporaso, Frank Schimmelfennig, Klaus Goetz, Andrea Lenschow, Katharina Holzinger and Hellen Wallace.

Download or read book Contested Liberalization written by Jonah D. Levy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic liberalization has been contested and defeated in France to an unparalleled extent in comparison to other leading political economies in Western Europe. Levy offers a historical explanation, centered on the legacies of France's postwar statist or dirigiste economic model. Although this model was dismantled decades ago, its policy, party-political, and institutional legacies continue to fuel the contestation of liberalizing reforms today. Contested Liberalization offers a comprehensive analysis of French economic and social policy since the 1980s, including the Macron administration. It also traces the implications of the French case for contestation in East Asia and Latin America. Levy concludes by identifying ways that French liberalizers could diminish contestation, notably by adopting a more inclusive process and more equitable allocation of the costs and benefits of liberalizing reform. This book will interest scholars and students of political economy and comparative politics, especially those working on economic liberalization, French politics, and the welfare state.

Download or read book Renegotiating Authority in EU Energy and Climate Policy written by Anna Herranz-Surrallés and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of multiple crises, EU Energy and Climate policy is often identied as one of the few areas still exhibiting strong integration dynamics. However, this domain is not exempt from contestation and re-nationalization pressures. This collection seeks to understand those contradictory integration and disintegration tendencies by problematizing the notion of authority: When, why, and by whom is EU authority in Energy and Climate policy conferred and contested? What strategies are used to manage authority conflicts and to what effect? These questions are examined in some of the knottiest aspects of EU energy and climate policy, for example, the adoption of the landmark Governance of the Energy Union Regulation, the long-drawn-out attempts to complete the EU’s internal energy market, the struggle to achieve ambitious EU targets in renewable energy and energy efficiency beyond 2020, the blurring of economic and security instruments in external energy policy, or the heated discussions over the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration.
