'Die Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Rußland bilden ein wichtiges und unverzichtbares Element gesamteuropäischer Zusammenarbeit. Sowohl Bundeskanzler Kohl als auch Präsident Jelzin charakterisierten das jeweils andere Land wiederholt als 'wichtigsten Partner in Europa'. Dies trifft in unterschiedlicher Weise sicher zu. So ist Deutschland für Rußland der weltweit stärkste Handelspartner, während umgekehrt Rußland für Deutschland (und den Westen insgesamt) unverzichtbar ist, wenn es um die Neuordnung in Ostmitteleuropa geht. Dennoch gibt es in den deutsch-russischen Beziehungen auch Probleme, wozu kriegsbedingte Altlasten ebenso gehören wie unterschiedliche Vorstellungen über eine neue europäische Sicherheitsordnung und unzureichende Rahmenbedingungen in Rußland für ausländische Wirtschaftsaktivitäten. Der vorliegende Bericht befaßt sich mit Chancen und Problemen der Beziehungen Deutschland - Rußland in ihrer bi- und multilateralen Dimension. Dabei stützt er sich auf Originalquellen, wissenschaftliche Literatur und Beiträge aus der Publizistik beider Länder.' (Autorenreferat)

All the countries abutting on the Red Sea and on the Gulf of Aden as well as the East African coast will gain in economic, political, and strategic importance as soon as the Suez Canal is reopened to shipping. The present article discusses the situation in an important subregion of this area, the so-called Horn of Africa which owes an eminent position under political and strategic aspects.

The scholarly study of international relations tends to go over the same cases, issues, and themes. This book addresses this by challenging readers to think creatively about international politics. It highlights some of the strangest and rarest phenomena in diplomacy and world politics. Comprised of a series of vignettes and organized by common themes like nonsensical borders, quasi-countries, and diplomatic taboos, Weird IR encourages readers to think critically about the discipline without losing one's sense of humor completely.

US relations with China are critically important for the future of world politics. They are also a useful case in which to test the individual-level implications of the liberal commercial peace argument. A plausible case can be made on both sides of the claim that China poses a security threat to the United States. China's economy is growing far faster than the United States' economy, while the country remains a communist autocracy. At the same time, trade between the United States and China has expanded dramatically in the last three decades. Its dual role as a major trading partner and a growing international rival generates substantial uncertainty about China's future status as friend or foe. Using data from a recent survey by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, we find that economic interests help explain individual Americans' assessment of China as a threat and their views concerning hostile policies toward that country. Those who stand to benefit from trade with China hold more positive views of the country and oppose conflictual foreign policies with respect to it. Those whose incomes are likely to decline because of trade with China tend to take the opposite position on these questions. Adapted from the source document.
