Um die fiskalische Nachhaltigkeit der Politik bzw. einzelner Reformmaßnahmen zu messen, hat die Wirtschaftswissenschaft in den letzten Jahren mehrere Instrumente eingeführt. Hierzu zählt auch die Generationenbilanz, die Anfang der neunziger Jahre in den USA entwickelt wurde. Der vorliegende Beitrag präsentiert die Ergebnisse der Generationenbilanzierung des Basisjahres 2005. Dabei wird auf Grundlage isolierter Analysen primär auf die sozialen Sicherungssysteme als Ursache für die langfristige Schieflage der deutschen Fiskalpolitik eingegangen. Zudem wird ein internationaler Vergleich gesetzlicher Gesundheitssicherungssysteme aus Sicht einer nachhaltigen Finanzierung angestellt.

Since 1945, US judges have extended numerous "domestic" US laws (including securities and antitrust laws) to govern economic transactions taking place "abroad". However, they have generally failed to extend US labor and employment laws to govern employer–employee relationships outside "US territory". Through a close reading of federal court decisions and drawing on recent work in the field of critical legal studies, this article makes an argument for centering the study of jurisdiction in International Relations scholarship and for approaching states as instantiated in their jurisdictional assertions. I suggest that such an approach enables us to capture the geographies—including the imperial geographies—of US law in the "normal," everyday course of affairs. In particular, such an approach allows us to see that, since the mid-20th century, the legal authority and legal relations of the US government have come to be organized around the notion of the national economy (rather than simply around, for example, notions of territory or citizenship). What this means is that it is increasingly a posited relationship to this national economy that determines whether people and corporations, wherever in the world they are located, are subjected to or protected by US law.

Composing Peace: Mission Composition in UN Peacekeeping is about mission in peacekeeping operations and asks how diversity of mission composition influences the ability of a peace mission to keep the peace. This book focuses on four types of mission composition-diversity among peacekeepers, within the mission leadership, between mission leaders and peacekeepers, and between peacekeepers and locals. It is the first book to explore mission composition and its consequences, unpacking a concept hitherto unexplored and empirically combining quantitative and qualitative methods. It makes an important contribution to the fields of peace research, security studies, and international relations at large.
