Rede Ben Gurions von 1958 vor dem Mapai Political Committee über die internationale Lage und die Position Israels im Weltsystem. (DÜI-Hns)

"This edited volume is a tribute to, and a debate with, the scholarship of Walter Carlsnaes and his contribution to the study of foreign policy in both its conceptualization and application. This book probes the theoretical boundaries of Foreign policy analysis, and questions orthodox understandings of the field. It examines the Agency-Structure debate, the question of how human decision-making affects the norms and institutions of international interactions (and vice versa), and analyses how the study of Foreign Policy can be applied to the European Union as a supranational entity devoid of traditional statehood. Contributors offer an in-depth discussion on the intricacies of studying foreign policy, and provide new perspectives on the standing of the EU as a foreign policy entity. Rethinking Foreign Policy will be of interest to students and scholars of International Relations, Foreign Policy, Global Governance, EU studies, and the work of Walter Carlsnaes"--

Increasingly, member states of large intergovernmental organisations (IGO) are setting up ad hoc coalitions (AHC) outside of multilateral organisations at regional and global levels. What is motivating countries to circumvent traditional IGOs? Are AHCs undermining global governance institutions? AHCs are attractive short-term instruments for crisis response among like-minded states. They often appear in the security and health sectors, though they are not limited to those areas. AHCs are an expression of institutional adaption to the crisis of major IGOs, which are increasingly unable to create unity on pivotal global order questions. AHCs do not pose a substantial challenge to IGOs, because they are often operational in areas in which IGOs are not willing or able to act. AHCs are part and parcel of a wider system of crisis response. They co-govern dense institutional spaces together with IGOs and form a network of institutions responding to a crisis. German foreign policy has traditionally placed a strong emphasis on multilateral organisations as cornerstones for a rules-based international order. With the emergence of AHCs, a further instrument is available that should not be dismissed as anti-multilateral. For AHCs to make a valuable contribution to the ever more complex global governance system, they need to perform functionally different tasks from IGOs. Germany should consider actively participating in AHCs to avoid being sidelined by partner countries.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony in June after being sworn in for the third time as the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan promised the nation that his policies in the coming five years would "crown the second century of the republic with the Century of Türkiye". Turkey has undergone a massive transformation in the last two decades since the Justice and Development Party (AKP) rose to power in 2002. Undoubtedly, the reconfiguration of civil-military relations has been one of the most critical markers of such change. The Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) has, under AKP rule, become an executor of foreign policy in an empowered security ecosystem consisting of the Ministry of Interior (MoI), the National Intelligence Organization (MİT), and the defence industry. These shifts in the security environment as such have been shaped by the dynamics of regime change in Turkey and post-Cold War security imperatives. (author's abstract)

This article focuses on the current conflict over the role of traditional birth attendants in the assistance to the reproduction (pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium) and the similarities between this and the time in which midwifery was not longer more a women's job. The speeches of international agencies that dictate the public politics on maternal health —UNFPA, WHO— remind us what happened centuries ago in Europe and the United States, at the time that medical practice was consolidated as a profession and universal and official science. Through these questioning about the capabilities of midwives, first expressed to address complications and then for normal deliveries —eutocic—, placing them as outside the formal health system figures. ; Este artículo se centra en el actual conflicto sobre el papel que deben desempeñar las parteras tradicionales en la asistencia a la reproducción y los paralelismos con el momento en que la partería dejó de ser un oficio de mujeres. Los discursos de organismos internacionales nos recuerdan lo sucedido siglos antes, cuando la práctica médica se consolidaba como profesión y ciencia universal y oficial. Éstos cuestionan las capacidades de las parteras, para atender complicaciones y para atender partos normales, lo que coloca a las parteras como figuras externas al sistema sanitario oficial.

Australian response to the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea varies between the Fraser Government and its successor. The former strongly supported the ASEAN, and generally Western position on the Kampuchean crisis. The Hawke Government adopted a much more non-partisan stance in trying to act as an "honest-broker" in the stalemated crisis. The underlying raison d'etre between the two approaches was explained in terms of their different perceptions of Australian role and interest in the region and in international affairs. The Hawke/Hayden initiatives did not significantly contribute to the resolution of the crisis for various reasons but they have leveraged Australia into active participation in Southeast Asian diplomacy. This is consistent with the Hawke Government's declared objective of a closer relationship with its Southeast Asian neighbours. (Internat. Polit. Science Assoc.)

The Kosovo war has concentrated new attention on the transatlantic relationship and its principal institution, NATO.
