Klappentext: Im Prinzip sind Streitkräfte immer gleich: zwiegesichtig, sowohl für den Angriff als auch für die Verteidigung geeignet. Deswegen gefährdet jeder, der zum eigenen Schutz rüstet, damit automatisch auch die Sicherheit seines Kontrahenten. Auf diese Weise wird eine Spirale der Aufrüstung in Gang gesetzt - ein Prozess sich wechselseitig verstärkender Ängste. So jedenfalls sieht es eine weltweit etablierte, immer noch einflussreiche Denkschule von Politikwissenschaftlern. "Unsinn!" sagt Lutz Unterseher und hält energisch dagegen: Armee ist nicht gleich Armee. Streitkräfte, die sich strukturell auf ihre Schutzfunktion konzentrieren, der Aggression eine Absage erteilen und dadurch zur internationalen Stabilität beitragen, sind eine reale Option der Politik.

"The book looks at the outreach and communication strategies employed by internationalised courts to try to understand the wider impact of international justice. This book critically examines the role of outreach within international justice focusing specifically on the role of outreach at the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL). It contributes to understanding of the relationship between international courts and the affected populations; an area currently underexplored and little understood. The assumption that justice brings peace underpins much of the thinking, and indeed action, of international justice, yet little is known if this is actually the case. Significant questions surrounding the link between peace and justice remain: do trials deter would-be war criminals; is justice possible for the most heinous crimes; can international justice replace local justice? This book explores these questions in relation to recent developments in international justice that have both informed and shaped the creation of the hybrid tribunal in Sierra Leone. Through empirical analysis, Transitional Justice, Peace and Accountability, answers these questions and provides an insight into individual and community perceptions of international justice.This book will be of much interest to students of transitional justice, war crimes, peace and conflict studies, human rights, international law, and IR in general"--

"This book analyzes the war system's infiltration of all aspects of Western culture and how it perpetuates war rather than promote peace, describing the evolving parallel system of peace institutions. The values and ideas of peace activism offer an opportunity to outlaw war in the coming century just as slavery was abolished in the 19th century"--Provided by publisher
