This article introduces an intercultural theory of international relations based on three distinctive ways of establishing self-worth: honor, face, and dignity. In each culture of self-worth, concerns with status and humiliation intervene differently in producing political outcomes. The theory explains important variation in the way states and nations relate to members of their own culture of self-worth, as well as members of other such cultures.

Im reichhaltigen Schrifttum zum Thema Corporate Compliance fehlte bislang eine Untersuchung der Rechtsfragen multinationaler Konzerne. Diese Lücke schließt der Autor mit seiner Abhandlung zur Korruptionsbekämpfung in Konzerngesellschaften im In- und Ausland, wobei er vom Modell des national wie international weit verbreiteten faktischen Aktienkonzerns ausgeht. Die Arbeit beschränkt sich dabei nicht auf Organhaftungsrisiken, sondern widmet sich auch der These, inwieweit Mechanismen des Gesellschaftsrechts ein Vehikel weltweiter Korruptionsprävention sein können.Am Beispiel der Konzernrechtsordnung Argentiniens stellt der Autor dar, welche Einflussmöglichkeiten ausländisches Gesellschafts- und Konzernrecht einer herrschenden Aktiengesellschaft überhaupt belässt und wie die Einflussgrenzen auf die Organpflichten des deutschen Vorstands ausstrahlen. Nach und nach werden dabei diejenigen Stellschrauben freigelegt, an denen rechtspolitisch noch nachgesteuert werden könnte

Obwohl Bund, Kantone und Gemeinden durch die Bundesverfassung verpflichtet werden, eine konjunkturgerechte Einnahmen- und Ausgabenpolitik zu machen, hat die Schweizer Finanzpolitik in der Vergangenheit die Konjunkturentwicklung immer wieder verstärkt. In der vorliegenden Studie wird die konjunkturelle Ausrichtung der Schweizer Finanzpolitik im internationalen Vergleich betrachtet. Der gängige Untersuchungsansatz wird dabei erweitert, indem zwischen der tatsächlichen (ex post) und der von der Politik intendierten konjunkturellen Ausrichtung (ex ante) unterschieden wird. Unabhängig davon, ob die Finanzpolitik ex post oder ex ante betrachtet wird, fällt die Schweiz durch eine prozyklische Ausrichtung auf. Politökonomische Erklärungen dafür sind u.a. die grosse Zahl einflussreicher Gruppen und Institutionen im politischen Entscheidungsprozess sowie der hohe Ausländeranteil an der Erwerbsbevölkerung.
This paper examines the organisation of government and the international development community-centred globalisation, focusing on the transformative nature of the two, particularly the concurrent reproduction of governmentality and the state of misgovernance in Bangladesh. It also examines the relationship between governance and the power of non-governmentality, particularly the specific nature of Bangladeshi civil society and the limitation of NGO in overcoming the state of misgovernance.

The paper critically examined the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR),an association that was formed with the objective of solving conflict issues between member states within the Great Lakes Region, after recognizing the fact that political inability has a considerable regional dimension and thus requires a concerted effort in order to promote sustainable peace and development. It was formed to bring peace among the member states and by doing that, foster development with member states. The paper examined the background of the organization as regard to this objective. In doing that, secondary method of data collection was used to collect data such as articles, books, journals and so on. The paper adopted the theory of liberal Intergovernmentalism and through the aid of this theory, the paper was able to examine the organization while stating its challenges like; :member states have not shown enough commitment or willingness to put the Dar-es-Salaam, Nairobi and Addis Ababa agreements into action, financial constraint, and overlapping membership of international organizations and the prospects of the organization. After critical analysis of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), the paper made recommendations like: need for member nations to show more commitment towards the organization in order to implement the Dar-es-Salaam, Nairobi and Addis Ababa agreements into action, and need for the member states to do better in their financial contributions.
The independence of International Civil Servants (ICSs) from their country of origin is often presumed but rarely accounted for empirically. In order to address this gap, we investigate whether ICSs face conflicts between national and international interests and which conditions are more conducive to the manifestation of this conflict in International Organizations. We adopt a mixed-methods design, including a survey with 1400 respondents working in two United Nations humanitarian organizations, followed by semi-structured interviews to a purposive sample of respondents. The findings show that such conflicts matter for ICSs, hierarchical grade has stronger explanatory power than the other factors, and the higher the level in the International Organization, the less frequently ICSs face conflict. The qualitative analysis explains this result by pointing to the effects of socialization among ICSs but also by shedding light on a related effect: dilution of national identity, as well as on the implications of locally recruiting lower-level staff.

THE AUTHOR EXAMINES BULL AND VINCENT'S THINKING ON THE LEGITIMACY OF HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION IN INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY. HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION POSES THE CONFLICT BETWEEN ORDER AND JUSTICE IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS IN ITS STARKEST FORM. THROUGH CASE STUDIES OF THE RESPONSES OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO HUMAN SUFFERING IN NORTHERN IRAQ AND THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA, THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES THAT BULL AND VINCENT'S WRITINGS ON HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION CONTINUE TO PROVIDE VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO THE CONFLICT BETWEEN ORDER AND JUSTICE IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.
The position paper discusses the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for the global economy and geopolitics, for the countries of the Global South and for international environmental and sustainability policy. On this basis, the paper proposes approaches for a substantive reorientation of international environmental and sustainability policy. For example, the nexus of environment and health should be given more attention and the resilience of economic and social systems should be established as a requirement. Measures are needed to deal with the current pandemic, to prevent further pandemics and to further develop international environmental and sustainability policy.
