Nicht selten wird die Europäische Integration als ein Prozeß der regionalen Institutionenbildung begriffen, wobei internationale Regime als willkommene Zwischenstufen zu diesem Ziel gelten. Auf diese Weise aber wird der Begriff der "internationalen (funktionalen) Regime" gründlich mißverstanden (I); denn die wichtigsten internationalen Regime sind global oder transnational und lassen sich nicht für eine regionale Blockbildung einspannen. Tatsächlich gibt es nicht ein einziges exklusives und effektives europäisches Regime - nicht im Kapitalverkehr und in der Finanzordnung, nicht im Bereich der Telekommunikation oder des Umweltschutzes, kein europäisches Flüchtlings-, Einwanderungs- oder Asylregime, kein Drogen- und kein Terrorismusregime und selbstverständlich kein militärisches Sicherheitssystem (II). Infolgedessen wird es auch nie eine homogene und geschlossene europäische Integration geben - die aus der mittelost- wie südeuropäischen, aber auch der britischen und skandinavischen Perspektive ohnehin unerwünscht ist; vielmehr wird Europa auf vielfache Weise durch internationale Regime durchkreuzt und global geöffnet sein; doch könnte Europa auf diese Weise der erste "transnationale Staat" der Welt werden (III).

"International crime and justice is an emerging field that covers international and transnational crimes that have not been the focus of mainstream criminology or criminal justice. This book examines the field from a global perspective. It provides an introduction to the nature of international and transnational crimes and the theoretical perspectives that assist in understanding the relationship between social change and the waxing and waning of the crime opportunities resulting from globalization, migration, and culture conflicts. Written by a team of world experts, it examines the central role of victim rights in the development of legal frameworks for the prevention and control of transnational and international crimes. It also discusses the challenges to delivering justice and obtaining international cooperation in efforts to deter, detect, and respond to these crimes. This book is arranged in nine parts covering the subject matter of international criminal justice. Each of the short chapters provides readers with an understanding of the main concepts relevant to the topic and sensitizes them to the complex nature of the problems"--Provided by publisher

This article aims to map the most significant influences of Foucault on the study of international relations. This is done through an analysis of Foucault's diverse intellectual toolbox, including the notions of discourse, heterotopias and genealogy. It considers whether Foucault helps us understand the most pressing issues in world politics and offers a critique of the historical and cultural limitations of Foucault's ideas, and questions the relevance of Foucault for an increasingly globalised, virtualised politics. Adapted from the source document.

This introductory textbook examines the role of the Third World in the international system.

The strategy used by governments to communicate with foreign populations has changed dramatically in the twentieth century. The need perceived by governments to use such a strategy in the first place derived from numerous social changes in the 150 years before World War I, particularly the increased role played in politics by the masses organized in nation-states. The shifting strategy of persuasive communication since then forms part of a broader transformation of international political communication which includes technological change, organizational developments, & absolute but not necessarily relative growth in international communications transactions. The predominant strategy developed in World War I was propaganda, with its use of fairly straight-forward appeals to rationality, sense of morality, & hatred. Problems with credibility in propaganda led to international communicators developing a new strategy before & during World War II-one which utilized new knowledge about the roots of human behavior by manipulating audiences by playing on their deep-seated desires & fears. An even more basic strategy was also developed during World War II, the technique of structuring the situation in which people learn their predispositions, perspectives, & behaviors. Its basic idea is to create situations in which the communicator does not have to tell the targeted audience anything at all, but in which the audience, left to its own devices, can only come to the conclusions desired by the communicator. The limitations & potential importance of this strategy are discussed. Modified HA.
