Basic science is an inherently international activity. Its principal goal is the production of new knowledge which is evaluated according to universal standards. In terms of membership and goals scientific communities have been international since their emergence during the seventeenth century. Basic science today consists of hundreds of research problem areas in which groups of scientists study similar problems and exchange information across national boundaries. International scientific cooperation occurs on several levels ranging from informal communication between individual researchers to multilateral agreements between governments and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs).

"Die Kurden und ihre mögliche zukünftige Rolle im Nahen Osten stehen im Zentrum dieser Analyse. Darüber hinaus wird der Frage nachgegangen, was ihr erstarktes Selbstbewusstsein für die regionale und internationale Sicherheit bedeutet." (Autorenreferat)

The zeal with which the free movement of goods is pursued through the World Trade Organisation, or the free moment of capital promoted by the International Monetary Fund is contrasted by the hostility of most government and international organizations towards the free movement of labour (Overbeek 2002, p. 75).

IN THE PAST, THE BASIC PATTERN OF INTERNATIONAL MONETARY REFORM HAS CONSISTED OF STOP GAP MEASURES TO SHORE UP THE DOLLAR. RECENT STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN THE WORLD POLITICAL ECONOMY INDICATE THESE PAST MEASURES AND PURE MARKET RATIONALITY REFORMS ARE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. THE ARTICLE OFFERS PROPOSALS WHICH COULD PROVIDE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY STABILITY.

This article presents an analysis of the way in which the work and the memory of Finnish anthropologist Hilma Granqvist and of her French hostess Louise Baldensperger have been incorporated in Palestine in a cultural heritage project on the peasant past of the village of Artas, where Granqvist's ethnographic fieldwork took place at the time of the British Mandate. This cultural heritage project inscribed the memory of these two European women in a local "tradition of encounter", in order to try to attract tourists and international cooperation agencies.

International Relations' constructivist turn – that body of approaches emerging in the late 1980s/early 1990s in which international outcomes were held to be predicated upon complex social arrangements, rules, norms, institutions, language and culture – emerged from a unique historical and intellectual moment. Initially, this theoretical turn was deeply committed to reflexivity and circumspection: since events were held to be contingent and theorists were bound up in them, the obligation to sustained critical self-reflection was central to the project. That commitment would not last, however. By the mid-1990s, it had given way to a 'middle ground' (or via media) position, which aligned itself with dominant materialist and rationalist methodologies and epistemologies. We wish to examine that moment of realignment: how it happened, and what it might mean. We argue that having imbibed a degree of the free-floating optimism that was 'in the air' in the 1990s, via media constructivism's leading scholars came to believe that it was no longer necessary to problematise the historicity and contingency of their own historical moment and philosophical horizons. The post-Cold War 'world', we hold – or, at any rate, one account of it – was 'too much with' via media constructivism: selectively constraining its reflexive impulses and critical tools in ways that, however unintentionally, provided cover for particular normative and ideological configurations. To move past this, we argue that via media constructivists need a sustainably critical ethos: one which 'repoliticises' international theory by unmasking its hidden ideological and political starting points.

"Die Entwicklungspolitik steckt in einer tiefen Sinn- und Rechtfertigungskrise. Viele Kritiker werfen ihr vor allem das Versagen vor, das Anwachsen der Massenarmut mit all ihren Folgeproblemen nicht aufgehalteri zu haben. Nun haben sich die Staatengemeinschaft, internationale Organisationen, und die Bundesregierung in ihrem 'Aktionsplan 2015' das ehrgeizige Ziel gesetzt, bis zum Jahr 2015 die Zahl der absolut Armen zu halbieren. Ist dieses Ziel realistisch oder schon im Ansatz illusionär? Die Kernthese des Beitrags ist, dass die Entwicklungspolitik ohne gezielte Armutsbekämpfung keine gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz zurückgewinnen kann, sich aber als 'globale Strukturpolitik' nicht auf eine 'Armenpolitik' verengen darf."

How national political structures affect environmental organizations' ability to successfully promote their goals; case studies of international efforts to stop the financing of the Sardar Sarovar and Tehri dams, both in India. Analyzes the effectiveness of different tactics in "society-dominated" vs. "state-dominated" countries, and with centralized vs. decentralized governments.

Überblick über die politische Entwicklung der Philippinen und über den Zustand des Landes (vor dem Rücktritt von Marcos). Geschildert werden die innenpolitische Lage, die Zusammensetzung der damaligen Regierung, die Wirtschaftslage und der Zustand des Landes als Nation. Erörtert werden die außenpolitische Konzeption und die Beziehungen zu den USA. Vor dem Hintergrund der geostrategischen Gegebenheiten und der innenpolitischen Entwicklung werden Stärke, Ausrüstung und Aufgaben der Streitkräfte dargestellt, unterteilt nach Land-, See- und Luftstreitkräften. Unabhängig von innenpolitischen Krisen hängen die Verteidigungsausgaben von der Militärhilfe der USA ab. (Dok.zentrum der Bundeswehr)

Trade regulation may never have been in more flux than it is nowadays. Apart from the emergence of 'megaregionals' (more recently, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership – RCEP, or the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-pacific Partnership–CPTPP) and the difficulties in pursuing the objectives of the Doha Development Agenda, the increased heterogeneity of interests within the World Trade Organization (WTO) puts into question its ability to achieve its central objective of free(r) trade. While internally rethinking the future of the WTO, it seems opportune to discuss, and factor in the realities of everyday global trade. To this end, this Article argues that the stateless reality of commercial transactions requires that state-driven, trade-related rule-making and stateless rule-making should be analysed in tandem if we are to make any sense of how global trade works and evolves. It further advocates a new theory of global trade-enablinglaw that focuses on a critical review of all rules that aim to mitigate legal risks of economic actors when they partake in transboundary commercial activities. This theory would emerge from a norm-user perspective that focuses on the functionality of the law. Global trade law-related research should focus on and evolve around three, broadly-defined axes: first, the identification and critical review of a set of principles akin to the global law advocacy; second, the analysis of the phenomenon of the empowerment of non-State constituencies, including firms, and a more intensive bridge-building with not only the semiautonomous regimes of transnational private regulators but also with other international organizations (IOs) (be it governmental, non-governmental or hybrid), whose activities have an impact on commercial transactions; and, third, the intensification of the still scattered, unsuccessful efforts to create a more inclusive global trading system brimming with development opportunities for all. Action in these three areas shall determine the sustainability and resilience of global trade law.
