Im Fokus der meisten Publikationen zum internationalen Terrorismus stehen Menschenrechtsfragen (gezielte Tötungen, Gefangenenlager, Terrorlisten, Folter, Datenschutz, Einschränkung von Freiheitsrechten etc.). Umfassend untersucht sind also die (negativen) Folgen der Terrorismusbekämpfung. Der vorliegende Band, der auf eine Ringvorlesung des Walther-Schücking-Instituts für Internationales Recht an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel 2015/2016 zurückgeht, ergänzt diese wichtige Debatte und analysiert den Schritt davor. Im Zentrum steht die Frage nach der Effektivität der völker- und europarechtlichen Instrumente zur Terrorismusbekämpfung. Nach der Klärung von Grundfragen werden die existierenden Instrumente aufgearbeitet und daraufhin untersucht, ob sie (noch) geeignet sind, um den modernen Terrorismus des 21. Jahrhunderts zu bekämpfen. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich ein gemischtes Bild: Trotz teils umfassender Normierung bleibt Raum für zum Teil erhebliche Verbesserungen. / »The Fight against Terrorism by Means of Public International and European Union Law« -- Most publications on the fight against international terrorism concentrate on its negative impacts, especially on its consequences for human rights protection. The present volume complements these important debates by asking a different question: Are the existing means of public international and European Union law effective and appropriate to fight the modern forms of terrorism in the 21st century?

The main task of the Swiss security policy up to the collapse of the bipolar system was the country's military defense. The content of its defense doctrine was elaborated on & further expanded as total defense in the non-military direction. The end of the cold war marked a departure from the classical defense doctrine & also relativized the mythological character of permanent neutrality, forcing Switzerland to redefine its security policy in the altered European security setting. The expansion of the concept of security went hand in hand with an increased interest in international peace efforts & international cooperation. In the meantime, Switzerland's instruments & activities have multiplied in both fields. In certain aspects, eg, the control of the policy of disarmament & armament, Switzerland has excelled. Concerning the new forms of threats & intimidation it has shown willingness for across-the-border cooperation, while the traditional formula security through neutrality & independence increasingly gives way to the new motto: Security through cooperation -- a shift from its time-honored foreign- & security/political course of restrictive & detached attitude towards a more intensive cooperation. Although conceptually the development of Swiss security policy & consequently its shift towards some peace policy has not been even remotely supported by a satisfactory redistribution of financial & personal resources, the Swiss military reform -- introduced in early 2004 -- is de facto a conceptual accommodation of the Swiss military force to the new plan on European security. Switzerland has become a member of the PfP although, due to its policy of neutrality, it is not planning to join the NATO. Nevertheless, Switzerland is vacillating between the EU membership & a more substantial rapprochement with the NATO, at the same time putting all its hopes into the development of global management under the direction of the United Nations & the joint security system. 2 Tables, 3 Figures, 19 References.

"In a world characterized by persistent local and regional conflicts, policymakers and professionals in current affairs and security studies are increasingly challenged. From the ongoing war in Yemen to the complex civil war in Syria and the recent third Nagorno Karabakh Conflict, the global landscape is shaped by violent disruptions that demand a nuanced understanding. Geopolitical tensions, humanitarian crises, and the intricate interplay of international actors necessitate a comprehensive guide for those seeking to navigate this complex web of challenges.Analyzing Global Responses to Contemporary Regional Conflicts emerges as a beacon of insight and a tangible solution to this urgent problem. This edition is a crucial tool for academic scholars and professionals, providing readers with the knowledge necessary to comprehend the complexities of global conflicts. By drawing on geoeconomics, geopolitics, security studies, and humanitarian perspectives, the book explores the roots of competition and cooperation among states but also critically examines conflict prevention, peacebuilding, and the role of key international entities. It goes beyond mere analysis, offering a roadmap for a more peaceful and stable future."--

The effect of religious factors on politics has been a key issue since the end of the Cold War and the subsequent rise of religious terrorism. However, the systematic investigations of these topics have focused primarily on the effects of religion on domestic and international conflict. Scriptures, Shrines, Scapegoats, and World Politics offers a comprehensive evaluation of the role of religion in international relations, broadening the scope of investigation to such topics as the relationship between religion and cooperation, religion and conflict, and the relationship between religion and the quality of life. Religion is often manipulated by political elites to advance their principal goal of political survival. Zeev Maoz and Errol A. Henderson find that no specific religion is either consistently more bellicose or consistently more cooperative than other religions. However, religious similarity between states tends to reduce the propensity of conflict and increase the opportunity for security cooperation. The authors find a significant relationship between secularism and human security.

This book predicts possible international changes that may occur between 2013 and 2023. It forecasts that China will become a global superpower no later than 2023, and that a bipolar world will be formed with a strategic rivalry between China and the US. China may also further reduce the disparity in capability with the US, while other major powers will witness an enlarged capability gap with both China and the US. Therefore, this bipolarization will drive the world center to shift from Europe to East Asia. In East Asia, Japan will become a lesser state, North Korea will keep its nuclear arsenal, but stop nuclear tests, and the maritime disputes in South China Sea will no longer the major problem to ASEAN countries by 2023. In Europe, Germany will dominate the EU while it is decentralized, the UK will withdraw from the EU, and Russia will deteriorate dramatically under Putin's rule. Globalization will also worsen polarization at both domestic and international levels, and India will lag behind China even further, the Middle East will suffer from the rivalry among regional powers, and Africa will be further marginalized.

This report provides policy options which, if implemented, would put the world on a sustained and sustainable growth and development path. It also examines the financing challenges to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under in-depth review in 2018 to help assess progress in the means of implementation for goals on water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, sustainable production and consumption, and terrestrial ecosystems. The 2018 report is the second substantive assessment of progress in implementing the Financing for Development outcomes and the means of implementation of the SDGs since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda. The assessment draws on the expertise, analysis and data from almost 60 agencies and international institutions that make up the Task Force, which is led by UN DESA and includes the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organisation, as well as UN agencies such as UNCTAD and UNDP

"Die strategische Logik des amerikanischen Plans für ein nordostasiatisches TMD-System ist unbestreitbar. Seit Ende des Kalten Krieges werden Stützpunkte und Alliierte der USA zunehmend von chinesischen und nordkoreanischen Raketen bedroht. Gleichzeitig konnte man damit rechnen, dass ein gemeinsames TMD-Projekt das amerikanisch-japanische Bündnis wiederbeleben würde, welches im Ergebnis jahrelanger Handelskonflikte und der Suche Tokios nach einer neuen regionalen und internationalen Rolle geschwächt erschien. Die Probleme im Zusammenhang mit dem Projekt resultieren aus dem Zusammentreffen dieser strategischen mit politischen Kalkülen. An vorderster Stelle steht hier Washingtons schrittweise Aufgabe der 'strategischen Ambiguität' in der Taiwan-Straße, ausgelöst durch einander widersprechende innenpolitische Dynamiken auf der Insel, in der Volksrepublik China und in den USA selbst. Trotz laufender Bemühungen im Kampf gegen den weltweiten Terrorismus wird es vermutlich bei einem politisierten TMD-Projekt bleiben, das die Großmachtbeziehungen in Nordostasien auch künftig belasten dürfte."

While international tourism, in many ways, is a form of globalized neoliberal expansion subsumed in the dominant logic of capitalist accumulation, the Covid-19 pandemic has fundamentally disrupted the global chain of international tourism. This has led to important reflections on tourism's neoliberal practices, structural inequalities and negative impacts, and the need for transformative relationships with capitalism that foster just and equitable realities. The primary objective of this article is to investigate the national-level responses to tourism transformation. Using the new Malaysian National Tourism Policy 2020–2030 as a case analysis, this study investigates the transformative agenda of the policy to explore and understand the dynamics at play in calls for transformation and (re)creation of tourism strategies in developing economies through the lens of neoliberal globalization. Qualitative interpretive content analysis is used to scrutinize the plan and policy contents from the selected government documents. The findings demonstrate the leading role of the market principles in action strategies and the limits to sustainability and transformation of capitalist tourism economies.

"Merkozy" ist seit den Präsidentschaftswahlen Geschichte. François Hollande will in Europa einen anderen Kurs als sein Vorgänger fahren, ob in der Fiskal- oder der Wirtschaftspolitik. Das wirkt sich auch auf die deutsch-französische Zusammenarbeit aus: Kann sich ein "Homer" der Partner auf Augenhöhe bilden, der Europa durch die Krise steuert? (IP)
