Download or read book NGOs Crisis Management and Conflict Resolution written by Daniela Irrera and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniela Irrera explores the relationship between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). The author reviews the issue of NGO's participation in the decision-making processes of intergovernmental IGOs and investigates new activities undertaken by NGOs, including their participation in multilateral humanitarian intervention operations, crisis management and conflict resolution. Theoretical discourse is underpinned by empirical data from a survey of representatives from 28 humanitarian NGOs and networks of NGOs that are active in the fields of humanitarian assistance and peace building, as well as conflict transformation and mediation. It demonstrates that the role of non-state actors in the deployment of humanitarian interventions is destined to grow in the near future and promotes our understanding of such a development. Academics in a wide range of fields including development, international studies and public policy will find this book to be an enlightening read.

Download or read book International Organizations written by Werner J. Feld and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1994 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text examines the relationship of regionalism to universalism, the interconnection between Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) and International Nongovernmental Organizations (INGOs), and the continuities between national and multinational foreign policy making in the post-Cold War world. While the commitment in this study is to comparative analysis, the historical, legal, structural-functional, and decision making approaches are also employed. The book underscores the pluralism of the world community, its decentralized nature, and its resistance to system and order. This revision was occasioned by the tremendous changes that have occurred in the field of international organizations in the last eight years. Scholars, teachers, and especially students, will benefit from the comparative approach utilized here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War is only one in a series of events that have radically modified the operational environment of international organizations since their establishment. These changes, many of which have lately been discussed under the term "globalization," include: decolonization; growing awareness of the global nature of many economic, environmental, and public health problems; multiplication of non-governmental organizations; globalization of mass media and the market; rapid developments in the field of biotechnology; and the emergence of new information technologies, particularly the Internet. These developments suggest that the time has come to take a fresh look at the philosophy of international organization. The Legitimacy of International Organizations presents the results of an interdisciplinary research project of the Peace and Governance Programme of the United Nations University. The authors are prominent experts in the fields of social and political philosophy, law, political science, economics, and environmental studies.

Download or read book Regional Security written by Rodrigo Tavares and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional organizations are an inescapable feature of global politics. Virtually all countries in the world are members of at least one regional or other intergovernmental organization. The involvement of international organizations in the realm of regional peace and security, and their cooperation in this domain with the United Nations, has reached an unprecedented level. Regional organizations have traditionally been formed around economic, political, or environmental objectives, however, over the last decades these organizations have gradually penetrated into the security sphere and developed their capacities in conflict prevention, peacekeeping, or post-war reconstruction. In Europe, Africa, Asia, or the Americas, regional and other intergovernmental organizations have been concurrently empowered by the UN and their own member states to maintain peace and security. Despite suffering from important discrepancies in both their mandates and capacities, regional organizations have become indisputable actors that play a role from the outbreak of a crisis to the reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of a conflict Presenting the most up-to-date critical and comparative analysis of the major regional security institutions, assessing a wide range of regional organizations and providing an accessible and comprehensive guide to 11 key organizations, this book is the first systematic study of the capacities of the most recognized intergovernmental organizations with a security mandate. Regional Security is essential reading for all students of international organizations, peace and security studies and global governance.
