This volume analyses the historical background of violent
international conflicts. Starting with an analysis of the conflict
and cooperation structures in post-communist Eastern Europe and the
eastern expansion of the European Union, the author discusses the
problem of acts of intervention in response to severe human rights
violations, taking Kosovo, Libya and in a further text also Darfur,
as examples. To analyse the subject of ethnonational autonomy and
independence movements, the author presents case studies on
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Belgium, Cyprus, on the Kurdish areas of Iraq,
Iran, Syria and Turkey, on Israel/Palestine, on China with regard
to Tibet and Xinjiang, and on the genocide of the Armenians in the
Ottoman Empire. The classic subjects of inter-state security and
armament policy include the controversy over the nuclear policies
of Iran and North Korea, while the analysis of the changes in
Russia's political system focuses on their far-reaching
consequences for international politics. This book will appeal to
students and scholars of international relations and peace and
conflict studies, as well as to practitioners and decision makers
in the field of peace politics.
This volume analyses current German domestic and foreign policy
debates of international relevance. By reflecting their
contemporary historical background and discussing the logic behind
the different positions in a dispute, the author considers issues
such as whether Muslim women should be allowed to wear headscarves,
fears about immigration, the predominance of either a single
national culture or multicultural pluralism and the admissibility
of multiple citizenship. This book also sheds new light on the
debate over the boundaries of freedom of expression, which was
triggered by the so-called Danish "Mohammad cartoons." Aspects of
German foreign policy are addressed, including the debate on the
ratification of a European constitutional treaty and of the Treaty
of Lisbon, German attempts to obtain a permanent seat on the
Security Council, as well as the question of whether the deployment
of the German army in Afghanistan contributed to the defense of
Germany. This book is of interest to students and scholars of
political sciences, as well as to journalists and practitioners
interested in an analysis of current political debates in Germany.
This volume focuses on several theoretical topics in world politics
and analyzes prominent cases of global conflicts and their
potential peaceful resolution. It covers issues such as the
multiplication of nation states in the era of globalization, failed
peace policy concepts in the 20th century, and the question of who
was to blame for the outbreak of the Great War. The author
discusses three influential patterns of interpretation of
international relations and global events: the conviction that war
is eternally rooted in human nature and history, the renewed
interest in geopolitical thought and the theory of a clash between
the predominantly religious-based civilizations. Finally,
individual conflicts, such as the rebellion in several Arab
countries, the potential war of intervention against Iran, the
Indo-Pakistani-Chinese entanglement in the disputes over Kashmir
and the present war in Ukraine are examined in detail.
This volume investigates both violent conflicts and non-violent
conflict behavior. It addresses a variety of topics, including
responsibility and guilt in connection with war, violent conflicts,
and terrorist attacks; conflict escalation in disputed areas such
as the South China Sea, Syria, and Ukraine; war as an instrument of
the United States' and Russia's global peace policy, and the
experiences with non-violent conflict strategies in the Indian
independence movement. Furthermore, it presents country studies on
Switzerland and Catalonia. Peaceful interethnic relations in
multilingual states in Switzerland are examined and juxtaposed
against independence movements, such as in Catalonia. Current
political challenges faced by the European Union, e.g. divergent
refugee policies and the Brexit, are also discussed.

Demokratischer Streit braucht gute Argumente. Die
Politikwissenschaft lehnt es jedoch haufig ab, sich am aktuellen
demokratischen Meinungsstreit zu beteiligen. Das ist in diesem Band
anders. Egbert Jahn zeigt, wie mit politikwissenschaftlichen
Argumenten in aktuellen Streitfragen diskutiert werden kann."
Der Band prasentiert Diagnosen und die Strategien, wie sie
gegenwartig von den jungeren Vertretern der Friedens- und
Konfliktforschung diskutiert werden. Dabei ergeben sich
unterschiedliche inhaltliche Kontroversen: Handelt es sich bei den
so genannten neuen Kriegen tatsachlich um neue Phanomene? Die
Antwort auf diese und viele andere Fragen fallen ebenso wie bereits
bei der Grundergeneration der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung
kontrovers aus. Der Band macht generationsspezifische Schwerpunkte
der Themenwahl und Fragestellungen deutlich. Er demonstriert damit
anschaulich, dass der Ausdifferenzierung von Problemfeldern und
Wissenschaftslandschaft zum Trotz die Friedens- und
Konfliktforschung mehr als nur das Projekt einer Generation ist.
Antikommunistische Ideologie soli hier definiert werden als
herrschende Ideologie in doppel- tern Sinn: einerseits als Ausdruck
dominanter gesellschaftlicher Interessen, andererseits als auch von
den Beherrschten weitgehend akzeptiertes ErkHirungsmuster der
gesellschaftlichen Realitat. Vgl. zu diesem Verstandnis Nicos
Poulantzas, der zwischen der Ideologie der herr- schenden Klasse,
Ideologien mit anderem Klasseninhalt - getragen von anderen
gesellschaft- lichen Formationen - und der auch letztere Ideologien
beherrschenden dominanten Ideo- logie unterscheidet. Pouvoir
politique et classes sociales, Paris 1968, S. 223 ff. Allgemein
soli Ideologie verstanden werden als "System der gesellschaftlichen
( . . . ) Anschauungen, die bestimmte Klasseninteressen zum
Ausdruck bringen und entsprechende Verhaltensnor- men,
Einstellungen und Wertungen einschliet1en".

Dysfunktionalitat sowohl irn Hinblick auf die Abwendung einer
aut1enpolitischen Isolierung als auch im Hinblick auf die
Wahrnehmung von okonomischen Interessen; vgl. Claudia von
