In der "Zeitenwende" werden die menschen- und völkerstrafrechtlichen Normen und Ordnungsvorstellungen erschüttert, die die internationalen Beziehungen seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges geprägt haben. Die normsetzenden und verteidigenswerten Institutionen werden jetzt noch häufiger, auch in der politischen Bildung mit Schulklassen, Bundeswehr- oder Polizeigruppen als "zahnlose Tiger" bezeichnet werden. Was sollte an dieser dissonanten Wahrnehmung überprüft und modifiziert werden? Hier einige Überlegungen zur Frage nach (Welt)Ordnung und Normgeltung in der politischen Bildung.

The dependency theory is recognized in the world of International Relations as one of the main contributors to the field from Latin American countries. In this paper we propose the objective of identifying the characteristics of the reception of dependentist contributions under the hypothesis that this has been mediated by the developments of the Latin American school of Autonomy and not by the contributions of those who are considered the canonical dependentist authors in the field of Political Economy. What we will observe is that the concept of autonomy used by the Latin American school is considerably different from the one used by the Political Economy. In addition to a critical balance, a proposal is made to incorporate the problem of global value chains into the autonomy analysis framework. ; La teoría de la dependencia es reconocida en el mundo de las Relaciones Internacionales como una de las principales contribuidoras al Campo desde los países de América Latina.

An essential reference for anyone involved in international affairs, the UNPO Yearbook is the only publication giving access to the material, situations and policies of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization and its diverse membership. Created by the members themselves in 1991, the UNPO provides a platform for those nations, peoples and minorities not represented in established international forums such as the United Nations. The mission of the organization is to assist its members in advancing their interests effectively through nonviolent means, including diplomacy, use of the UN and other international procedures for the protection of human rights, the exploration of legal options in defending their rights and the development of public awareness and opinion.
