Wie entstehen Konflikte, wie verlaufen sie und unter welchen Umständen lösen sie sich auf? Diese Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt der Einführung. Dabei werden in einem ersten Teil zunächst verschiedene Theorieansätze zum sozialen Konflikt betrachtet, und zwar strukturanalytische, funktionalistische, spieltheoretische, eskalationstheoretische und schließlich systemtheoretische Ansätze. Im zweiten Teil werden einige bislang wenig bearbeitete Aspekte zur Entstehung, Eskalation und Deeskalation von Konflikten bearbeitet. Das Ergebnis ist eine Einführung in die Soziologie des Konflikts, die in gut lesbarer Form innovative Entwicklungen des Gebiets präsentiert. Besprochen in: dvs-information, 18 (2003)

Against the backdrop of climate change and tectonic political shifts in world politics, this handbook provides an overview of the most crucial geopolitical and security related issues in the Arctic. It discusses established shareholder's policies in the Arctic – those of Russia, Canada, the USA, Denmark, and Norway – as well as the politics and interests of other significant or future stakeholders, including China and India. Furthermore, it explains the economic situation and the legal framework that governs the Arctic, and the claims that Arctic states have made in order to expand their territories and exclusive economic zones. While illustrating the collaborative approach, represented by institutions such as the Arctic council, which has often been described as an exceptional institution in this region, the contributing authors examine potential resource and power conflicts between Arctic nations, due to competing interests. The authors also address topics such as changing alliances between Arctic nations, new sea lines of communication, technological shifts, and eventually the return to power politics in the area. Written by experts on international security studies and the Arctic, as well as practitioners from government institutions and international organizations, the book provides an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in geopolitical shifts and security issues in the High North.

Flüchtlinge stehen vor vielen Problemen, die nicht nur in ihren Heimatländern entstehen, sondern häufig durch die Politik anderer Staaten und internationaler Organisationen verursacht werden. Flüchtlinge leben in unentschiedenen Zuständen. Obwohl die Flucht vor kriegerischer Gewalt seit Jahrzehnten prominentes Thema der internationalen Politik ist, weist die globale Flüchtlingspolitik erhebliche Lücken auf. Dieser Band zeigt durch Fallstudien zu palästinensischen Flüchtlingen, zu Flüchtlingen aus Sri Lanka, Liberia, Kolumbien, Kosovo und anderen Regionen, wie Politik mit Flüchtlingen gemacht wird und welche Folgen die Politik der Unentschiedenheit für sie hat. »Der Sammelband [ist] ein durchweg lesbarer und in seinem auf die Politik von unten gerichteten Fokus höchst innovativer Beitrag zur Migrationsforschung im Allgemeinen, wie zur Literatur zur Kriegsflucht im Besonderen.« Sigrid Baringhorst, Neue Politische Literatur, 57 (2012) »Durch die in den Beiträgen zugrunde gelegten Untersuchungsansätze eröffnet der Band neue Forschungsperspektiven auf das Thema Flucht und Asyl.« Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft, 13.04.2010 »Margarete Misselwitz und Klaus Schichte haben sich einen ersten Schritt zu einer ›neuen politischen Soziologie der Weltgesellschaft‹ vorgenommen. Er ist gelungen.« Dieter Maier, Welt-Sichten, 5 (2010)

This book explores pathways to redress for main groups of victims/survivors of the 1992-5 Bosnian war —families of missing persons, victims of torture, survivors of sexual violence, and victims suffering physical disabilities and harm. The author traces the history of redress-making for each of these groups and shows how differently they have been treated by Bosnian authorities at the state and subnational level. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, thousands of war victims have had to suffer re-traumatising ordeals in order to secure partial redress for their suffering during 1992–1995 and after. While some, such as victims of sexual violence, have been legally recognised and offered financial and service-based compensation, others, such as victims of torture, have been recognized only recently with a clear geographical limitation. The main aim of the book is to explore the politics behind recognizing victimhood and awarding redress in a country that has been divided by instrumentalized identity cleavages, widespread patronage and debilitating war legacies. It shows how war victims/survivors navigate such fragmented and challenging public landscape in order to secure their rights.
