"Revered by Americans across the political spectrum, Barbara Jordan was "the most outspoken moral voice of the American political system," in the words of former President Bill Clinton, who awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994. Throughout her career as a Texas senator, U.S. congresswoman, and distinguished professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, Barbara Jordan lived by a simple creed: "Ethical behavior means being honest, telling the truth, and doing what you said you were going to do." Her strong stand for ethics in government, civil liberties, and democratic values still provides a standard around which the nation can unite in the twenty-first century. This volume brings together several major political speeches that articulate Barbara Jordan's most deeply held values. They include: "Erosion of Civil Liberties," a commencement address delivered at Howard University on May 12, 1974, in which Jordan warned that "tyranny in America is possible" "The Constitutional Basis for Impeachment," Jordan's ringing defense of the U.S. Constitution before the House Judiciary Committee investigating the Watergate break-in Keynote addresses to the Democratic National Conventions of 1976 and 1992, in which Jordan set forth her vision of the Democratic Party as an advocate for the common good and a catalyst of change Testimony in the U.S. Congress on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork and on immigration reform Meditations on faith and politics from two National Prayer Breakfasts Acceptance speech for the 1995 Sylvanus Thayer Award presented by the Association of Graduates of the United States Military Academy, in which Jordan challenged the military to uphold the values of "duty, honor, country" Accompanying the speeches, some of which readers can also watch on an enclosed DVD, are context-setting introductions by volume editor Max Sherman. The book concludes with the eloquent eulogy that Bill Moyers delivered at Barbara Jordan's memorial service in 1996, in which he summed up Jordan's remarkable life and career by saying, "Just when we despaired of finding a hero, she showed up, to give the sign of democracy. ... This is no small thing. This, my friends, this is grace. And for it we are thankful." .. From publisher's description

The title of this unique insider's look at a crucial decade of Sino-American interchange derives from a Chinese expression that describes a relationship of two people whose lives are intimately intertwined but who do not fundamentally communicate with each other. David M. Lampton, former president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, demonstrates that while the United States and China have enormous interests at stake in their bilateral relationship, neither has been particularly deft in dealing with the other. His fascinating account shows how the processes of globalization, along with the development of international regimes and multilateral organizations, have brought America and China increasingly close in the global bed. At the same time, their respective national institutions, interests, popular perceptions, and the very characters of their two peoples, assure that the nations continue to have substantially different dreams. Lampton explores the reasons why the Sino-American relationship is so difficult for both nations to manage and suggests ways it can be more effectively conducted in the future. His unique experience in China—nearly thirty years as a scholar, as the head of a policy-oriented exchange organization, and as director of Washington think-tank research programs—enabled him to spend extended periods with Chinese leaders and see them as they encountered America, as well as to observe U.S. leaders as they tried to come to grips with Chinese circumstances. Among many other key events, Lampton witnessed firsthand the aftermath of Tiananmen Square, successive congressional battles over most-favored-nation tariff treatment, the end of the Bush era and the rocky beginning of the Clinton administration, the death of Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin's transition to power, the reversion of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty, and the Asian financial crisis that unfolded from mid-1997 to the end of the decade. Lampton's careful documentary research is supplemented by interviews and accounts of his personal interaction throughout the period with leaders and key players in Washington, Beijing, Taipei, and Hong Kong. The book thus represents a singular combination of historical research, policy analysis, and personal observation, and offers guidance for those in both America and China who must shape this critical relationship in the twenty-first century

Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639) is one of the most fascinating, if hitherto inaccessible, intellectuals of the Italian Renaissance. His work ranges across many of the intellectual, ecclesiastical, and political concerns of that tumultuous era. John Headley uses Campanella's life and works to open a window into this complex period. He not only explicates the frequently contradictory texts of a prolific author but also situates Campanella's writings amidst the larger currents of European thought.For all its obscurely magical and astrolgocial intricacies, Campanella's entire intellectual endeavor expresses an effort to impose a distinctive order and direction upon the major issues and forces of the age different from that which was shortly to prevail with the new Galilean science and the Leviathan state. In the process of identifying and engaging these issues and imparting in some instances something of his own, he managed to mobilize and deploy many of the salient principles of late medieval and Renaissance culture, often cast in a curiously modern hue and aligned with the new forces of the age. Indeed, modern and antique, new and old juxtapose violently in the person of this reformer who combines an encyclopedic comprehensiveness of intellect with an appalling intensity of will. He is a man who strove to destabilize the regnant forces of what he identified as tyranny, sophistry, and hypocrisy and to shake the world into a new order. In this book, Headley invites readers to look anew at this mercurial figure and at the turbulent times in which he lived.John M. Headley is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has authored studies of Luther, Thomas More, the Emperor Charles V, and San Carlo Borromeo.Originally published in 1997.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Aus der Einleitung: 'The general problem is that intervention, even when it is justified, even when it is necessary to prevent terrible crimes, even when it poses no threat to regional or global stability, is an imperfect duty – a duty that does not belong to any particular agent. Somebody ought to intervene, but no specific state or society is morally bound to do so. And in many of these cases, no one does. People are indeed capable of watching and listening and doing nothing. The massacres go on, and every country that is able to stop them decides that it has more urgent tasks and conflicting priorities; the likely costs of intervention are too high', Michael Walzer, Just and Unjust Wars. Ob Bosnien, Ruanda oder Srebrenica – allein die letzten Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts zeigen, dass die internationale Staatengesellschaft bei schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen bis hin zu Völkermord regelmäßig in der Rolle des Zuschauers verharrt. Im März 1998, vier Jahre nach dem Völkermord in Ruanda, entschuldigt sich der US-Präsident Clinton in Kigali für die Tatsache, 'that we the United States and the world community did not do as much as we could have and should have done to try to limit what occurred.' Für 800.000 Ruander, die Opfer des 100-tägigen Völkermords wurden, kam diese Einsicht jedoch zu spät. Sie warteten vergeblich darauf, dass die internationale Staatengesellschaft die Verantwortung für sie übernehmen würde. Humanitäre Interventionen werden oft mit dem Argument abgelehnt, dass sie in Angelegenheiten eingreifen, die im alleinigen Kompetenzbereich des Staates liegen. Eine absolute (westfälische) Souveränität wird jedoch sowohl von moralischer als inzwischen auch von völkerrechtlicher Seite nicht mehr akzeptiert. Bei schweren Verletzungen der Menschenrechte wie Völkermord verspielt eine Regierung ihr Recht auf Souveränität – die Verantwortung für den Schutz der potenziellen Opfer geht auf die internationale Gesellschaft über. Zwar existiert kein allgemeines Recht auf humanitäre Interventionen, der UN-Sicherheitsrat kann aber militärische Maßnahmen nach Kapitel VII der UN-Charta autorisieren, um einen Völkermord zu verhindern bzw. zu beenden. Die Autorisierung hängt davon ab, ob ein Veto-Staat Interessen hat, die gegen eine Intervention sprechen, und ob Staaten bereit sind, Eingreiftruppen für eine Intervention zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ob die internationale Gesellschaft bei Völkermorden eingreift, ist also keine Frage der Moral oder des Völkerrechts, sondern in der Regel eine Frage des politischen Willens. Der politische Wille hängt von nationalen Interessen wie Sicherheit der eigenen Soldaten oder Wohlstand der Bevölkerung ab. Die Bereitschaft, humanitäre Interventionen durchzuführen, ist in der Regel nur vorhanden, wenn im gleichen Zug nationale Interessen verwirklicht werden können. Es ist daher das Ziel dieser Arbeit, ein Instrument zu entwickeln, das Völkermord effektiv verhindert bzw. beendet, ohne dabei vom politischen Willen der Staaten und somit von kurzfristigen nationalen Interessen abhängig zu sein. Dieses legitime Regime humanitärer Interventionen muss sich schließlich den entscheidenden Fragen stellen, ob es den an sie gestellten Erwartungen gerecht werden kann und ob es eine reelle Chance hat, realisiert zu werden. Eine unabhängige und objektive Völkermordkommission, die anhand der Völkermorddefinition der Völkermordkonvention feststellt, ob ein Völkermord stattfindet, sowie eine eigens rekrutierte UN-Eingreiftruppe, die bei Völkermord humanitäre Interventionen durchführt, bilden ein effektives Instrument, um Völkermord zu verhindern. In der Gegenwart dieses legitimen Regimes humanitärer Interventionen können sich Staaten nicht mehr darauf verlassen, dass die internationale Gesellschaft passiv bleibt und Völkermord stillschweigend hinnimmt. Der Interventionsautomatismus hat daher das Potenzial, Völkermord zu einem Kapitel der Geschichte zu machen. Sollte dennoch ein Eingreifen notwendig sein, ist die UN-Eingreiftruppe auf Grund ihrer Spezialisierung nicht nur besser ausgebildet, sie kann auch viel schneller eingreifen als Truppen, die von Staaten gestellt werden. Die Staatengesellschaft wird sich aus Angst vor einer mächtigen Weltpolizei jedoch nur dann auf das legitime Regime einigen, wenn das Aufgabenfeld eng und klar auf die Beendigung bzw. Verhinderung von Völkermord begrenzt ist. Aus dieser Bedingung entstehen zwei Konflikte: Wenn der Interventionsautomatismus dazu führt, dass Völkermorde ausbleiben, ist der Ruf nach einer Erweiterung des Aufgabenfelds und somit eine Gefahr für den Konsens der Staaten die logische Folge. Weiterhin umfasst das legitime Regime weder Konfliktprävention noch post-conflict Peace building. Eine humanitäre Intervention ohne Nachbereitung ist jedoch in der Sache sinnlos und moralisch unverantwortlich. Eine entsprechende Erweiterung des Aufgabenfelds als logische Folge macht eine Einigung jedoch unwahrscheinlicher als sie ohnehin schon ist. Außerdem können Interventionen nur durchgeführt werden, wenn eine begründete Aussicht auf Erfolg besteht. Unter dieser Bedingung sind Interventionen wieder von einer subjektiven Entscheidung abhängig, das könnte im Einzelfall dazu führen, dass trotz eines legitimen Regimes Völkermorde stattfinden können. Diese Schwierigkeiten führen zu der Schlussfolgerung, dass eine Realisierung des legitimen Regimes nur sinnvoll ist, wenn es in einen Kontext der Prävention und des post-conflict Peace building eingebettet wird. Eine Tendenz der Staaten, eine entsprechende zentrale Durchsetzungsinstanz zu akzeptieren, ist derzeit jedoch nicht zu erkennen. Im ersten Teil werde ich den Status quo humanitärer Interventionen von moralischer, völkerrechtlicher und politischer Seite betrachten. Auf Grundlage der Hindernisse, die aus politischer Sicht gegen Interventionen zur Beendigung von Völkermord sprechen, entwickle ich im zweiten Teil das legitime Regime humanitärer Interventionen. In Teil drei untersuche ich mit Hilfe der liberalen Theorie Internationaler Beziehungen von Andrew Moravcsik und des neoliberalen Institutionalismus von Robert O. Keohane, a) unter welchen Bedingungen eine Präferenz, Völkermorde aktiv zu verhindern, entstehen kann, b) welche Hindernisse einer entsprechenden Kooperation auf internationaler Ebene entgegen stehen und c) wie ein Regime diese Hindernisse überwinden kann. Im abschließenden vierten Teil wende ich die theoretischen Erkenntnisse auf das legitime Regime humanitärer Interventionen an, um letztendlich das legitime Regime und dessen Realisierungsmöglichkeiten bewerten zu können.
