Events such as the legal arguments surrounding the 2003 Iraq War and the creation of the International Criminal Court highlight the significance of international law in the contemporary world. This new textbook provides an introduction to the relationship between international law and international relations. David Armstrong, Theo Farrell and Hélène Lambert explore the evolution, nature and function of international law in world politics and situate international law in its historical and political context. They propose three interdisciplinary 'lenses' through which to view the role of international law in world politics: realist, liberal and constructivist. These lenses offer different ways of looking at international law in terms of what it is, how it works and how it changes. Topics covered include the use of force, human rights, international crimes, international trade and the environment, and each chapter features discussion questions and guides to further reading

Unmittelbar vor dem Beginn der UN-Klimakonferenz in Bali veröffentlicht die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung den Klimareport International. Über 50 Auslandsmitarbeiter der KAS berichten aus ihren Einsatzländern, wie der Klimawandel in Europa, Asien, Afrika und Lateinamerika wahrgenommen wird. Der Report gibt einen Überblick über die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels und den Umgang mit dem Klimaschutz in den einzelnen Staaten. An folgenden fünf Leitfragen orientieren sich die Berichte: Wie verläuft der Diskurs zum Klimawandel im Einsatzland? Welche Folgen des Klimawandels werden als akute Probleme gesehen? Welche Reaktionen gab es auf den Bericht von Sir Nicolas Stern und auf den Bericht des IPCC? Wie geht die Politik mit der Problematik um? Wer sind die Akteure? Alle Auslandsmitarbeiter sind versierte Kenner des politischen Umfelds in ihren Einsatzländern. Jeder einzelne kann eine genaue Einschätzung darüber abgeben, welchen Stellenwert die Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz jenseits der feierlichen Deklarationen im Rahmen internationaler Konferenzen im politischen Tagesgeschäft wirklich haben. Insofern dient der Klimareport zur Information über die Wahrnehmung und die nationalen Befindlichkeiten in der Frage von Klimawandel und Klimaschutz.
