Download or read book The United Nations written by Maruice Bertrand and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations is no more than a very modest element in the whole complex body of institutions which form the structure of international relations. It may thus appear surprising that this organization should have been, and can still be, the object of such enthusiasm and such hate - of such admiration and such derision - and that the most contradictory opinions should daily be expressed on what it does, on its operation and its effectiveness, and on the steps which should be taken for its reform. It is impossible to understand this paradoxical situation without analyzing the interrelationships between ideas about peace - which were false since the beginning of the League of Nations, the manner in which these ideas have come to be embodied in a structure which prevented the institution from becoming a useful instrument of negotiation, and the accelerating rate of political change in the world, all of which make some suggest that the UN is becoming more and more irrelevant. Today, the UN touches on everything, but does not in any way give a response to the dream of peace which it was supposed to realize. Through a thorough analysis of the role of the League of Nations and of the UN in the field of security, an evaluation of their rare successes and their numerous failures, and a complete review of the activities of the organisation in the economic and social fields, Maurice Bertrand shows that there is a need today for a radical reform of the whole complex of global organizations. This work is a translated and updated edition of L'ONU, published by Editions la Découverte.

Download or read book Kosovo s Foreign Policy and Bilateral Relations written by Liridon Lika and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book analyzes Kosovo’s foreign policy and bilateral relations with the United States and several European countries. After the 1999 liberation from Serbia, Kosovo built close relations with various countries that supported it in the process of reconstruction, economic stabilization, institution-building, and state-building. From 1999 to 2008, many of these states were politically and operationally engaged in Kosovo under the leadership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). Since its independence in 2008, the Republic of Kosovo has adopted a foreign policy in accordance with its values and strategic interests, a foreign policy that aims to strengthen Kosovo’s security and foster its socio-economic prosperity in collaboration with primarily Western countries. In this volume, each chapter is dedicated to Kosovo’s bilateral relations with a selected state with which it has established diplomatic relations. The book shows that Kosovo has been able to develop and achieve strong bilateral relations with major allies and partners. It argues that Kosovo’s foreign policy aims to develop, maintain, and enhance the position of the young state on the international stage. The volume bridges various methodological and disciplinary approaches in order to present Kosovo’s foreign policy objectives and the trajectory of its relations with some of its most important international partners. This book will be of interest to students of Balkan politics, state-building, foreign policy, and International Relations.

Download or read book Marxism and International Relations written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is Marxism in International Relations? The answer lies in this collective work by Brazilian authors who have looked to Marxist theory for an alternative perspective, and therefore outside the dominant ideas in the field, to analyse International Relations. Specifically, the answer is divided into themes: key ideas by Marx and Engels for IR, Marxist thinkers as IR theorists, Marxist theories on imperialism, and the Latin-American theory on dependency. With the end result, this book adds to the international intellectual efforts to criticize and overcome capitalism.

It aims to analyze the processes of information warfare and cyber warfare through historical, operational and strategic perspectives of cyber attack. It is original in its delivery because of its multidisciplinary approach within an international framework, with studies dedicated to different states – Canada, Cuba, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Slovenia and South Africa – describing the state’s application of information warfare principles both in terms of global development and “local” usage and examples.

Download or read book War Peace and International Security written by Jan Eichler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines and explains the dialectic of war and peace between the outbreak of WWI and the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. The theoretical inspiration is built upon Galtung’s concept of negative and positive peace, Aron ́s distinction between strategy and diplomacy, and Carr ́s theory of periodization. Here, the author compares globalization with the interwar period and examines how the first decade ́s positive peace, diplomacy, and big hopes were replaced by negative peace, and explains the growing role of military strategy which culminated after the Russian annexation of Crimea and the following military incidents between NATO and Russia. This volume will be of interest to teachers, students, and researchers in the fields of modern history, international security and peace studies.

Download or read book Mapping Arctic Paradiplomacy written by Mathieu Landriault and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the possibilities and limitations that sub-national actors face when developing diplomatic activities in the Arctic region. Sub-national actors, such as civil society groups and sub-national governments or administrations, have been active in international relations for decades. They face specific political and economic limitations on the international scene as non-sovereign entities. This book investigates how these actors have developed their international presence in the Arctic region. It analyzes the diplomatic activities of states, provinces, regional administrations, and multilateral forums made of sub-national governments to offer comparative insights on the strategies, interests, and activities of sub-national governments. Alaska, Scotland, Quebec, Yakutsk, and Indigenous People’s organizations are among the examples covered in this book that have forged bilateral and multilateral relations to promote and defend their interests and values. Moreover, sovereign states are often using these sub-national actors to further their own interests, as exemplified in this book in how Russia and China harnessed the potential of sub-national governments to align with their Arctic policies. The volume will be useful to academics and graduate students of Arctic politics, international relations, comparative politics, comparative federalism, foreign policy, and global governance.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The African Yearbook of International Law" provides an intellectual forum for the systematic analysis and scientific dissection of issues of international law as they apply to Africa, as well as Africa's contribution to the progressive development of international law. It contributes to the promotion, acceptance of and respect for the principles of international law, as well as to the encouragement of the teaching, study, dissemination and wider appreciation of international law in Africa. A clear articulation of Africa's views on the various aspects of international law based on the present realities of the continent as well as on Africa's civilization, culture, philosophy and history will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding among nations. "The African Yearbook of International Law" plays an important role in examining the tensions underlying the State in Africa, and by shedding more light on the causes of the fragility of African state institutions so as to facilitate the identification of appropriate remedies. The tension and interrelationships among issues such as territorial integrity, self determination, ethnic diversity and nation-building are constantly addressed. Development, human rights and democratization in Africa are also subject of continuous attention and examination.

Download or read book Introduction aux relations internationales written by Philippe Marchesin and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2008 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce manuel d'introduction aux relations internationales se veut un ouvrage de synthèse qui entend faire le point, en un nombre limité de pages, sur les différentes dimensions de la discipline. Sont successivement abordés les grands domaines des relations internationales que sont les théories, les acteurs, le système international et la politique étrangère. Tout en présentant les auteurs incontournables - anciens et actuels -, les rails saillants et les principales problématiques, l'ouvrage repose sur un double axe : l'irruption des sociétés et la prise en compte des mondes non occidentaux. Longtemps considéré comme acteur exclusif des relations internationales, l'Etat voit son monopole remis en cause, même s'il convient de remarquer que son rôle demeure important sur la scène internationale. L'irruption des sociétés se vérifie à travers l'influence croissante de nombre d'acteurs non gouvernementaux dont la diversité est remarquable: firmes transnationales, organisations non gouvernementales, individus. Mais aussi mafias, terroristes, mercenaires. L'analyse de la politique internationale passe dorénavant par la prise en compte de tous les acteurs et par l'étude de leurs interactions. L'attention portée aux pays du Sud repose autant sur elle que sur un constat : les manuels de relations internationales leur accordent généralement une place marginale. Plus largement. la discipline elle-même reste profondément marquée par ses origines européenne et nord-américaine. A l'évidence, cette situation est appelée à changer. Il suffit de mesurer l'espace dorénavant occupé par certaines puissances émergentes dans notre monde globalisé. Nul doute que cette prise en compte de nouveaux horizons invite à terme à une relecture des relations internationales
