Download or read book A Revolution Is Coming written by Mark A. Roberts and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author was born in 1950. It was another year of war. He was told all his life that nothing can be done about war or the horrors of nuclear weapons and those who would use them. Nothing can be done about the poisoning of pristine air and water, ignorance, poverty, starvation, crime and greed associated with drugs, deforestation, religious conflicts, racial hatred, disease, overpopulation... The author has concluded that total destruction can be stopped, but international law and order must be initiated. International law must be instituted and enforced. The United Nations must complete its journey of leadership and strength. The United Nations must exemplify a non-corrupt representative leadership ¿ all continents, nations and people of the world community equally represented. The present five prong military dictatorship of intimidation must end. The time has come for a world community government founded within the United Nations. Mankind has proven throughout history that he is incapable of governing himself. Will mankind survive? Will this manuscript be used by evil men for evil purposes? This author believes that only through supernatural intervention will a world community government of long term peace and prosperity prevail ¿ divine leadership. ¿And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns¿ The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion... He who has an ear, let him hear¿¿ -Revelations 13

Download or read book A United Nations for the Twenty First Century written by Bourantonis and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collective work brings together scholars, international civil servants and field practitioners who examine a wide range of theoretical and practical problems as well as challenges confronting the world and the United Nations at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The papers in this volume have been organized under themes which focus on problem areas and challenges that mankind must unavoidably deal with collectively in the years ahead, much as it has attempted to do during the past half-century. The contributors address the triangular relationship between peace, security and development and raise questions about the relevance of the UN system in the decades to come. The authors do so through reflection on past experiences and relevant philosophical inquiries. They examine specific cases and experiences that are representative of the relevance or irrelevance of past collective actions in the security and non-security fields and suggest new ideas and concepts that attempt to marry theory and practice. In this connection, aspects of peacemaking and peacekeeping, arms control, economic development, human rights and the critical role of education are amongst the topics analyzed and assessed. One of the underlying themes of the volume is that the challenges of the twenty-first century will be of unprecedented magnitude. Unless the UN system is reformed and revitalized it runs the risk of becoming irrelevant.

Download or read book Society and Nation in Transnational Processes in Europe written by Adam Jarosz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern nation is an organisational form of society that has undergone numerous changes throughout history. The concept of the nation in Europe in the nineteenth century has been posed and answered in the past, but, as the basic conditions of its existence change, it is essential that this important question be asked again. Without doubt, the modern nation realizes the promises of solidarity and community which are so attractive to the masses, and has a profound effect on identity formation. Without these structures originally put in place by civil society, self-organization as the implementation of national thought is unimaginable. Understanding the necessity and the possibility of the designability of society through the idea of nation and the functionality of civil society determines the strength and stability of the national movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?Zweifel?s persuasive and highly relevant book is a significant contribution to the literature on IO governance.? ?Edward McMahon, University of VermontDo international organizations represent the interests of the global citizenry? Or are they merely vehicles for the agendas of powerful nations and special interests? Thomas Zweifel explores this increasingly contentious issue, deftly blending history, theory, and case studies.Zweifel?s analysis covers both regional organizations (e.g., the EU, NAFTA, NATO, the AU) and such global institutions as the United Nations, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization. With international organizations becoming perhaps the most appropriate?if not the only?forum for tackling myriad transnational challenges, his systematic study of how these organizations function is central to the study of both international relations and democracy in the 21st century.Thomas D. Zweifel, CEO of the Swiss Consulting Group, is also adjunct professor at Columbia University?s School of International and Public Affairs. Previously, he served as director of global operations for the Hunger Project.Contents: The Democratic Deficit of International Organizations. An Approach to Transnational Democracy.

Download or read book Theory of International Law written by Robert Kolb and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to analyse various aspects of international law, the link being how they structure and marshal the different forces in the international legal order. It takes the following approaches to the matter. First, an attempt is made to determine the fundamental characteristics of international law, the forces that delineate and permeate its applications. Secondly, the multiple relations between law and policy are analysed. Politics are a highly relevant factor in the implementation of every legal order (and also a threat to it); this is all the more true in international law, where the two forces, law and politics, have significant links. Thirdly, the discussion focuses on a series of fundamental socio-legal notions: the common good, justice, legal security, reciprocity (plus equality and proportionality), liberty, ethics and social morality, and reason.
