"This book re-examines more than 100 years of destructive ethno-religious relations among Armenians, Turks, and Azerbaijanis through the novel lens of collective trauma. The author argues that a focus on embedded, transgenerational collective trauma is essential to achieving more trusting, productive, and stable relationships in this and similar contexts. The book takes a deep dive into history - analysing the traumatic events, examining and positing how they motivated the actions of key players (both victims and perpetrators), and revealing how profoundly these traumas continue to manifest today among the three peoples, stymying healing and inhibiting achievement of a basis for positive change. The author then proposes a bold new approach to "conflict resolution" as a complement to other perspectives, such as power-based analyses and international human rights. Addressing the psychological core of the conflict, the author argues that a focus on embedded collective trauma is essential in this and similar arenas"--

"Im Aufsatz wird die ökologische Modernisierung als hegemoniales Projekt in der internationalen Klimapolitik herausgearbeitet. Dieses wirkt einer radikalen Transformation gesellschaftlicher Naturverhältnisse entgegen, da es eine Bearbeitung des Klimawandels durchzusetzen vermag, die von den etablierten Deutungs- und Handlungsmustern abgeleitet ist. Anhand einer explorativen Feinanalyse des 'Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage' kann die Reproduktion des hegemonialen Projekts der ökologischen Modernisierung in der Politikberatung des Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) gezeigt werden. Die Interpretationsergebnisse stützen die im Aufsatz vertretene Hypothese, dass die Technologie des Carbon Capture and Storage eine Schlüsselrolle in den Auseinandersetzungen um die Notwendigkeit einer radikalen Transformation gesellschaftlicher Naturverhältnisse spielt."

Traditionally women have been constructed in very limited terms under international law. They have been defined through their relationships with either men or with children. Moreover, the types of crimes experienced by women in times of armed conflict, including rape and other forms of sexual violence, have been categorised as less egregious than those experienced by men. In recent years feminists have sought to challenge the existing definition of women, drawing attention to the serious nature of gender-based crimes. They have done this through their engagement with new international institutions including the UN ad hoc tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda and the development of the statute for the International Criminal Court (ICC). Through their efforts they have made some significant advances in bringing to light the complex, diverse and unique aspects of women's lives previously ignored in international criminal and humanitarian law. Although there is still much to be done, feminist activists have demonstrated that the law and its influence are not fixed but dynamic and open to change.
