Abstract

"This Handbook offers a comprehensive examination of the peace, security and development nexus from a global perspective, and investigates the interfaces of these issues in a context characterised by many new challenges. By bringing together more than 40 leading experts and commentators from across the world, the handbook maps the various research agendas related to these three themes, taking stock of existing work and debates, while outlining areas for further engagement. In doing so, the chapters may serve as a primer for new researchers while also informing the wider scholarly community about the latest research trends and innovations. The volume is split into three thematic sections: Concepts and approaches; New drivers of conflict, insecurity and developmental challenges; Actors, institutions, and processes. For ease of use and organisational consistency, each chapter provides readers with an overview of each research area, a review of the state of the literature, a summary of the major debates, and promising directions for future research. This handbook will be of much interest to students of peace and conflict studies, development studies, security studies and International Relations"--

Abstract

This report seeks to demonstrate how effective economic governance provides a critical foundation for peace and state effectiveness. It proposes how existing United Nations Economic Commission for Europe programs, projects and priorities can contribute to the work of the newly formed United Nations Peacebuilding Commission as well as to wider peacebuilding efforts. As one of the United Nations five regional commissions, UNECE is neither a security organization nor a conflict prevention organization; nonetheless, its experience could be relevant in maintaining peace in its region. The report overall seeks to place economic governance at the heart of peacebuilding.-- Publisher's description

Abstract

At the 2005 UN World Summit, world leaders endorsed the international principle of Responsibility to Protect (R2P), acknowledging that they had a responsibility to protect their citizens from genocide and mass atrocities and pledging to act in cases where governments manifestly failed in their responsibility. This marked a significant turning point in attitudes towards the protection of citizens worldwide. This important new book charts the emergence of this principle, from its origins in a doctrine of sovereignty as responsibility, through debates about the legitimacy of humanitarian intervention and the findings of a prominent international commission, and finally through the long and hard negotiations that preceded the 2005 commitment.It explores how world leaders came to acknowledge that sovereign rights entailed fundamental responsibilities and what that acknowledgment actually means. The book goes on to analyze in detail the ways in which R2P can contribute to the global effort to end genocide and mass atrocities. Focusing on the prevention of these crimes and the improvement of the world's reaction to them, the book explores the question of how to build sustainable peace in their aftermath. Alex J. Bellamy argues that although 2005 marked an important watershed, much more work is needed to defend R2P from those who would walk away from their commitments and - in the words of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon - to translate the principle 'from words into deeds'. This fascinating book will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, international affairs, human rights and humanitarian emergencies, as well as anyone concerned about the protection of civilians on a global scale.

Abstract

Wie funktioniert Entspannungspolitik in internationalen Krisenzeiten? Ende der 1970er Jahre stand Bundesaußenminister Genscher vor der Herausforderung, das Prestige-Projekt der sozial-liberalen Koalition - die Entspannungspolitik gegenüber dem Osten - gegen den heraufziehenden "Zweiten Kalten Krieg" zu verteidigen. Agnes Bresselau von Bressensdorf zeigt am Beispiel des sowjetischen Einmarsches in Afghanistan und der polnischen Krise, wie er darauf mit einer antizyklischen Kommunikationspolitik antwortete, um die angespannte internationale Lage zu deeskalieren. Über diese konkreten Fallbeispiele hinaus sieht die Autorin die Grundlagen für den langfristigen Erfolg Genschers als Bundesaußenminister, Vize-Kanzler und FDP-Vorsitzender in einem spezifischen "System Genscher": Mit dem Auswärtigen Amt als Schaltzentrale, der FDP als funktioneller Machtbasis und einer Strategie der Medialisierung, Personalisierung und Entertainisierung von Außenpolitik modernisierte Genscher das diplomatische Krisenmanagement und sicherte sich seine Position als zentraler Akteur bundesdeutscher Politik.
