This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollution, resource depletion, habitat management, and climate change are all issues that necessarily transcend national boundaries. Accordingly, they and other environmental concerns have been a particular focus for international organizations from before the First World War to the present day. This volume is the first to comprehensively explore the environmental activities of professional communities, NGOs, regional bodies, the United Nations, and other international organizations during the twentieth century. It follows their efforts to shape debates about environmental degradation, develop binding intergovernmental commitments, and—following the seminal 1972 Conference on the Human Environment—implement and enforce actual international policies.

Download or read book Law History and Justice written by Annette Weinke and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the nineteenth century, the development of international humanitarian law has been marked by complex entanglements of legal theory, historical trauma, criminal prosecution, historiography, and politics. All of these factors have played a role in changing views on the applicability of international law and human-rights ideas to state-organized violence, which in turn have been largely driven by transnational responses to German state crimes. Here, Annette Weinke gives a groundbreaking long-term history of the political, legal and academic debates concerning German state and mass violence in the First World War, during the National Socialist era and the Holocaust, and under the GDR.

Download or read book Civility Barbarism and the Evolution of International Humanitarian Law written by Matt Killingsworth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-31 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to moderate conflict are as old as conflict itself. Throughout the ages, restraint in warfare has been informed by religious and ethical considerations, chivalry and class, and, increasingly since the mid-19th century, a body of customary and treaty law variously referred to as the laws of war, the law of armed conflict (LOAC) or international humanitarian law (IHL). As they evolved from the mid-19th century, these laws were increasingly underpinned by humanitarianism, then in the mid-20th century, were assumed to be universal. But violations of these restraints are also as old as conflict itself. The history of conflict is replete with examples of exclusions from protections designed to moderate warfare. This edited volume explores the degree to which protections in modern warfare might be informed by notions of 'civility' and 'barbarism', or, to put it another way, asks if only those deemed to be civilised are afforded protections prescribed by the laws of war?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skript aus dem Jahr 1999 im Fachbereich Politik - Allgemeines und Theorien zur Internationalen Politik, Note: keine, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Institut für internationale Politik), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Grundbegriffe der internationalen Politik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die hier zusammengestellten Essays und inhaltlichen Zusammenfassungen (Skripte) bieten an Hand von Schlüsseltexten einen Überblick über 13 Themenbereiche der Internationalen Politik. Die behandelten Grundbegriffe reichen von ideengeschichtlichen Staatskonzeptionen (Hobbes, Rousseau) bis hin zur postmodernen Weltpolitik und spiegeln sowohl ältere und jüngere Debatten des Fachs sowie deren ideengeschichtliche Verankerung wieder. Die Texte dienen als Einführung in die, oder punktuelle Vertiefung der IB. Thomas Hobbes: Of the Natural Condition of Mankind (Von der natürlichen Bedingung der Menschheit im Hinblick auf ihr Glück und Unglück) In seiner Abhandlung beschreibt Hobbes das menschliche Naturell als Grund, der zu Kriegen führt. Er geht davon aus, dass alle Menschen von Natur aus, trotz aller Unterschiedlichkeit, gleich sind. Durch diese Gleichheit, eine Gleichheit der Hoffnungen, und damit auch der Absichten diese umzusetzen, entstehen, Konkurrenz (maximaler Gewinn), Misstrauen (zur Sicherung des Bestehenden) und Ruhmessucht (Ansehen). Und dadurch Krieg. Und gäbe es keine übergeordnete Macht, herrschte ständig Krieg jeder gegen jeden. Der Mensch ist des Menschen Feind. In diesem Krieg gibt es kein Unrecht, da es keine Gesetze gibt, da das Verhalten auf das unabhängige menschliche Naturell zurückzuführen ist. Hobbes vergleicht dies mit dem Verhalten von souveränen Machthabern, über denen es keine höhere Ordnung mehr gibt und die sich im ständigen Kriegszustand mit ihren Nachbarn befinden, damit jedoch auch den Fleiß ihrer Untertanen fördern. Die einzigen Möglichkeiten, diesem Naturzustand zu entfliehen sind für Hobbes die Leidenschaften und die Vernunft.

Download or read book International Theory and German Foreign Policy written by Jakub Eberle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central aim of this book is to foster connections between scholarly discussions of German foreign policy and broader theoretical debates in International Relations and beyond. While there has been a lively discussion about ‘new German foreign policy’, this book argues that it has not engaged substantially with international and foreign policy theory, especially with respect to its more recent developments. Reviewing the recent literature on German foreign policy, this book posits that the most discussed works are still largely provided by the ‘Altmeister’ (Maull, Szabo, Bulmer and Paterson) who were already dominating the field a quarter of a century ago. While there is a general decline in the academic study of German foreign policy, the chapters in this edited volume show that a range of novel, theoretically sophisticated but often disconnected scholarship has appeared on the margins. This book contributes to this emerging work by providing conceptual interrogations, which question the existing research and provide theoretically-grounded alternatives; initiating critical discussions and evaluations of the nature of Germany’s actorness and the environment in which it operates and proposing applications of less familiar perspectives on German foreign policy. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of German Politics.

Download or read book Comparative and Transnational History written by Heinz-Gerhard Haupt and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s West German historiography has been one of the main arenas of international comparative history. It has produced important empirical studies particularly in social history as well as methodological and theoretical reflections on comparative history. During the last twenty years however, this approach has felt pressure from two sources: cultural historical approaches, which stress microhistory and the construction of cultural transfer on the one hand, global history and transnational approaches with emphasis on connected history on the other. This volume introduces the reader to some of the major methodological debates and to recent empirical research of German historians, who do comparative and transnational work.

Download or read book Western Society in Transition written by Volker Bornschier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enormous acceleration of history has occurred in the current decade, thereby radically changing world society in many respects. The core countries - grouped around the triad formed by the United States, Japan, and the European Union - have experienced successive waves of change marked by phases of ascent, unfolding, and decay of societal models. What seemed stable and predictable in past decades came close to collapse or broke down entirely. As a result, we are now living through a crisis of legitimation characterized by acute contradictions. A new order, with a fresh, basic consensus around an overarching set of norms that allows problems to be solved efficiently, has not yet crystallized.Western Society in Transition examines the succession of societal models of the Western world and indications of its probable shape in the future. Bornschier characterizes the 1985-1995 period as a decade of Third World debt and depression; continued economic decline in the United States; a steady ascent of Japan; Western Europe's move toward political union, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Against this background, he sketches various elements of a theoretical perspective he calls evolutionary conflict theory. The primary focus of interest of this theory is not on single societies, but on measures of social transformation at the core of world society. Western Society in Transition deals with fundamental questions: How does social order arise and why does it dissolve? What provides social cohesion? What makes society progress? Institutional spheres of Western society such as technology, firms, the market, state building, education, power, conflict, and social movements are analyzed in detail.Peter Lengyel, editor emeritus of the International Social Science Journal says of Western Society in Transition, "I have never seen such a succinct, clear, and persuasive treatment which adroitly draws together elements from economics, history, sociology, and technology into a strictly contemporary kind of political economy." This timely assessment of the Western world will be of interest to social scientists, historians, economists, and international relations scholars.

Download or read book International Handbook of Violence Research written by Wilhelm Heitmeyer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-12-31 with total page 1246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international manual is like a world cruise: a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the more reason to consider carefully whether it is necessary. This can hardly be the case if previous research in the selected field has already been the subject of an earlier review-or even several competing surveys. On the other hand, more thorough study is necessary if the intensity and scope of research are increasing without comprehensive assessments. That was the situation in Western societies when work began on this project in the summer of 1998. It was then, too, that the challenges emerged: any manual, espe cially an international one, is a very special type of text, which is anything but routine. It calls for a special effort: the "state of the art" has to be documented for selected subject areas, and its presentation made as compelling as possible. The editors were delighted, therefore, by the cooperation and commitment shown by the eighty-one contributors from ten countries who were recruited to write on the sixty-two different topics, by the con structive way in which any requests for changes were dealt with, and by the patient re sponse to our many queries. This volume is the result of a long process. It began with the first drafts outlining the structure of the work, which were submitted to various distinguished colleagues. Friedheim Neidhardt of Berlin, Gertrud Nunner-Winkler of Munich, and Roland Eckert of Trier, to name only a few, supplied valuable comments at this stage.
