El propósito de este artículo es analizar el papel y cobertura desempeñada por la prensa internacional tras la muerte de Franco y la posterior Transición a la democracia en España (19751978). El periodo sobre el que versa esta investigación comprende la muerte de Franco, el 20 de noviembre de 1975, hasta la ratificación por referéndum del Constitución democrática, el 6 de diciembre de 1978. Los resultados del análisis permiten observar que, a pesar del temor del estallido de una nueva Guerra Civil o la resistencia al cambio de los grupos más conservadores, los once diarios estudiados apoyaron de forma crítica pero incondicional el proceso democrático. ; The aim of this article is to analyze the role and coverage of the foreign press surrounding the death of Franco and Spain's consequent transition to democracy (19751978), at one of the most crucial moments of political change in Southern Europe within the ongoing context of the Cold War. The period under consideration runs from the death of Franco on the 20th of November 1975 to the ratification by referendum of the democratic Constitution on December 6th, 1978. Faced by the threat of a new civil war due to the resistance to change by those who, after winning the war in 1939, paved the way to the Francoist dictatorship, the international press, while still critical unconditionally supported the democratic process, according to the study of the broad coverage carried out by eleven main newspapers in France, Italy, United Kingdom and the United States of America.
The Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM, est. 1996) is an interregional forum which consists of the members of the European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and China, Japan and South Korea. The main components of the ASEM process include political dialogue, economy, education and culture. 'Multiregionalism and multilateralism' focuses on the institutionalisation of intra-regional and inter-regional cooperation in the international system with emphasis on the changing relationship between the EU, China and India. The role of ASEM in this relationship is growing more important because of the growth of multilateralism as cornerstone of the international system.
Israel-UAE relations will most likely be about much more than trade. Even if the absence of official diplomatic relations hinders prospects for better relations in certain areas between the two countries - most recently demonstrated by the controversy surrounding Israeli judo star Tal Flicker's gold medal at the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam - bilateral relations are set to grow. In fact, the UAE is the only member of the GCC which took part in international military exercises that involved the Israeli Air Force in Greece and in the United States.
Der russische Angriffskrieg in der Ukraine hat die europäische Sicherheitsarchitektur zum Einsturz gebracht. Das Friedensgutachten 2022 analysiert die Eskalation, zeigt Folgen für die Ukraine und die Region auf und richtet den Blick auf die Neuausrichtung der deutschen und europäischen Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik. Neben den globalen Implikationen des Krieges werden auch die Erfolgsbedingungen und Grenzen von Sanktionen dargelegt sowie die Krise der globalen nuklearen Ordnung analysiert. Darüber hinaus zeigen die Untersuchungen zum globalen Konfliktgeschehen, dass internationalisierte Konflikte, dschihadistische Gewaltakteure sowie Gewalt und Diskriminierung gegen Frauen und LGBTQI*-Minderheiten neue friedenspolitische Akzente erfordern. Und die wegen Terrorgefahr, Pandemie und Extremismus stetig ausgeweiteten Kompetenzen der Sicherheitsinstitutionen im Innern der Demokratien bedürfen ebenfalls stärkerer demokratischer Kontrolle. Das Friedensgutachten 2022 analysiert das Kriegs- und Konfliktgeschehen, zeigt Trends der Außen-, Sicherheits- und Entwicklungspolitik auf und gibt friedenspolitische Empfehlungen für Bundestag und Bundesregierung. Mit seinen konkreten Handlungsempfehlungen ist das Gutachten ein zentrales Medium für den Dialog zwischen Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik. Die deutschen Friedensforschungsinstitute (BICC/HSFK/IFSH/INEF) geben das Gutachten seit 1987 heraus.
This book examines the sanction regimes imposed by the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations against Russia, Iran, and North Korea. While the application of sanctions as a foreign policy tool has developed considerably, particularly over the last three decades, their empirically verifiable effects remain contested. Based on detailed empirical evidence, this book investigates the dynamic nature of individual sanctions measures, their multi-layered objectives as a foreign policy tool, their effects on the targeted economies and governments, and how targeted states respond to them. Furthermore, it offers a rare comparative perspective. The book presents a concise summary of the most important aspects and describes some key characteristics that could improve the use of sanctions as a foreign policy tool. This book will appeal to researchers, scholars, and students of international relations, as well as practitioners and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the effects of sanction regimes and the improvement of sanctions as a foreign policy tool. .
