This book looks at the worlding of the Global South in the process of assembling conflict resolution expertise. Anna Leander, Ole Wæver and their contributors pursue this ambition by following the experts, institutions, databases and creative expressions that are assembled into conflict resolution expertise in the Global South.Expertise shapes how conflicts in the Global South are understood and consequently dealt with. Yet, expertise is always and necessarily exclusive. The exclusivity of expertise refers both to the fashionable, the sophisticated and what counts, and also to the exclusion of some people or views. Assembled from a wealth of competing knowledges expertise is always both knowledgeable and ignorant. The ambition of the volume is to explore how this exclusive expertise is assembled and in what ways it is therefore knowledgeable and ignorant of knowledges in/of the Global South.This work will be of significant interest to advanced students and scholars of conflict resolution, peace research, mediation and international relations and scholars of expertise.

"While other books focus on special internet registers, like tweets or texting, no previous study describes the full range of everyday registers found on the searchable web. These are the documents that readers encounter every time they do a Google search, from registers like news reports, product reviews, travel blogs, discussion forums, FAQs, etc. Based on analysis of a large, near-random corpus of web documents, this monograph provides comprehensive situational, lexical, and grammatical descriptions of those registers. Beginning with a coding of each document in the corpus, the description identifies the registers that are especially common on the searchable web versus those that are less commonly found. Multi-dimensional analysis is used to describe the overall patterns of linguistic variation among web registers, while the second half of the book provides an in-depth description of each individual register, including analyses of situational contexts and communicative purposes, together with the typical lexical and grammatical characteristics associated with those contexts"--

Jedes Jahr im September hält der Präsident der Europäischen Kommission vor dem Europäischen Parlament seine Rede zur Lage der Union, in der er eine Bilanz der Arbeit des vergangenen Jahres zieht und einen Ausblick auf die Prioritäten des kommenden Jahres gibt. Dabei wird auch Thema sein, wie die Europäische Kommission die derzeit dringlichsten Probleme in der Europäischen Union anzugehen gedenkt. Im Anschluss an die Rede findet eine Aussprache im Parlament statt. Die Rede bildet den Auftakt für den Dialog zwischen Europäischem Parlament und Rat über das Arbeitsprogramm der Kommission für das kommende Jahr. Die Rede zur Lage der Union hat ihren Ursprung im Vertrag von Lissabon und ist Teil der Rahmenvereinbarung über die Beziehungen zwischen dem Europäischen Parlament und der Europäischen Kommission aus dem Jahr 2010, die zudem verlangt, dass sich der Präsident in einer Absichtserklärung an den Präsidenten des Europäischen Parlaments und den amtierenden Ratsvorsitz wendet und einen detaillierten Überblick über die gesetzlichen und sonstigen Maßnahmen und Initiativen gibt, die die Europäische Kommission bis zum Ende des folgenden Jahres durchführen will. Der Präsident der Europäischen Kommission, Jean-Claude Juncker, hielt seine vierte Rede zur Lage der Union am 12. September 2018. Alle Dokumente finden Sie unter http://ec.europa.eu/soteu2018. Die diesjährige Rede erfolgt im Vorfeld der Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament 2019 und vor dem Hintergrund der laufenden Gespräche über die Zukunft der Europäischen Union mit 27 Mitgliedstaaten.
