This article analyses realist school in the Russian international relations scholarship & discusses the debates among Russian realists. It focuses on the characteristics of the newly emerging world order & the development of an adequate strategy for Russia to pursue in its international behavior. The authors argue that over the 1990s, realism has made considerable intellectual progress & has gained the status of a leading intellectual movement in Russia. It assisted Russian intellectual & political community in defining the country's interests & priorities in the emerging international relations, & it provided a necessary analysis of the world order's structure & polarity. 67 References.

A consideration of International Lending: The Case of Developing Nations is timely not only because of the forces that are propelling the Third World into a position of increasing strategic and political importance but also as a recognition of the importance of credit to development and of the fact that loans and self-help, rather than massive infusions of outside assistance, are the key to real development. It is not this writer's intention to discuss different forms of credit or the many practical, technical and legal hurdles to mobilizing and delivering loans to the Third World on a fair basis to both creditor and borrower. Instead, this paper will sketch the background of world forces that must be carefully considered if the availability and effective use of credit in less developed countries (LDC's) is to be accomplished.

"Seit 1998 - und verstärkt im Zuge der so genannten Hartz-Reformen - werden Vermittlungsdienstleistungen privater Anbieter zunehmend öffentlich über Contracting Out und Gutscheinverfahren gefördert und als Alternative zur öffentlichen Arbeitsvermittlung diskutiert. Das vorliegende Papier stellt aktuelle theoretische und empirische Befunde zu diesen Privatisierungsformen vor. Zunächst werden die Funktionsvoraussetzungen einer Steuerung der Leistungserbringung durch private Dienstleister (Agenten) im Auftrag der öffentlichen Hand (Prinzipal) an so genannten Quasi-Märkten erörtert. Sodann werden Ergebnisse der Evaluation der neuen Vermittlungsinstrumente Beauftragung Dritter nach Paragr. 37 SGB III, Eingliederungsmaßnahmen nach Paragr. 421i SGB III und dem Vermittlungsgutschein vorgelegt, gefolgt von Befunden zum Kontraktmanagement von Arbeitsvermittlungsdienstleistungen in Australien, Großbritannien (Employment Zones) und den Niederlanden. Aufgrund der deutschen und internationalen Ergebnisse kommen die Autoren zu dem Schluss, dass angesichts der komplexen Funktionsvoraussetzungen und des hohen Regulierungsbedarfs die Effizienzsteigerungspotentiale der Arbeitsvermittlung durch die Beauftragung privater Dritter beschränkt bleiben. Der Ausbau der dezentralen Handlungsspielräume der öffentlichen Arbeitsvermittlung stellt eine funktionale Alternative der Effizienzmobilisierung dar, deren Möglichkeiten noch nicht ausgeschöpft werden."

Qui s'étonnerait qu'au bout de la seconde année de guerre, les expériences eussent été à peu près toutes faites, les méthodes toutes éprouvées, en vue de l'élimination des mauvaises et du développement des bonnes, et que le travail de l'Agence internationale se poursuivît maintenant normalement et méthodiquement, comme le cours régulier d'un fleuve qu a trouvé son lit définitif? Et cependant des préoccupations nouvelles se font jour, des écueils se dressent et amènent des remous dans le courant. Il faut la vigilance constante d'ur pilote éclairé pour que la barque humanitaire puisse, au milieu des tourmentes et des orages déchaînés de tous côtés poursuivre sa marche bienfaisante.

Le trimestre qui vient de s'écouler a été marqué par la continuation normale du travail, sans que des circonstances nouvelles puissent fournir matière à de longs développements, dans le domaine spécial de l'activité en faveur des prisonniers de guerre. Les questions générales étaient réglées, les ordonnances nécessaires étaient émises, en complément et en exécution des dispositions des conventions internationales. Nous n'avons pas eu connaissance de règlements nouveaux : il suffisait, au surplus, de bien appliquer ceux qui avaient été faits. Nous donnons cependant ci-dessous l'ordonnance allemande, du 16 février 1915, sur la communication de renseignements par les commandants et chefs de lazarets.

Over the past decade, most OECD countries have begun to reform fundamentally their agricultural policies. Some dispute has emerged over the extent to which policy-making at the international level has triggered these reforms. These disputes raise important theoretical questions about how we theorize and test for the degree of interdependence between international, regional (EU), and domestic policy change. This paper offers the concept of autonomous, linked games as a possible theoretical route to follow, a route that also permits more systematic theoretical consideration of the role of international organizations in policy-making. We focus, in particular, on the European Commission and the GATT Secretariat. Drawing on these concepts, we argue that policy reform by EU member states was significantly shaped by proposals and outcomes in the international negotiations on agriculture during the GATT Uruguay Round. ; Im Laufe des letzten Jahrzehnts haben die reichsten OECD-Länder grundlegende Reformen ihrer Agrarpolitik in Angriff genommen. Die Frage, inwieweit politische Maßnahmen auf internationaler Ebene den Anstoß für diese Reformen gegeben haben, wird derzeit kontrovers diskutiert. Diese Diskussion wirft wichtige theoretische Fragen darüber auf, wie das Ausmaß der Interdependenz zwischen internationalen, regionalen (EU) und nationalen Politikänderungen theoretisch erfasst und empirisch bestimmt werden kann. Wir bieten das Konzept autonomer, miteinander verbundener Spiele als theoretischen Ansatz an, der zur Lösung dieser Fragen beitragen könnte. Dieser Ansatz könnte auch eine stringentere theoretische Analyse der Rolle internationaler Organisationen bei der Politikgestaltung ermöglichen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt insbesondere auf der Europäischen Kommission und dem GATT-Sekretariat. Auf der Grundlage unseres Ansatzes argumentieren wir, daß Politikreformen in den EU-Mitgliedstaaten in beträchtlichem Maße geprägt wurden von den Vorschlägen und Ergebnissen der internationalen Agrarverhandlungen während der Uruguay-Runde des GATT.

Cultural defences, i.e. claims that certain aspects of a defendant's cultural background should be taken into consideration by courts when adjudicating on their guilt or innocence, have been raised before domestic courts in a variety of jurisdictions. This has been a very sensitive and controversial issue. However, the issue of cultural defences in international tribunals is one which has not yet been fully explored. The main objective of this book is to analyse if the ICC can, and should, accommodate cultural defences as answers to legal charges, or if the Court should accommodate cultural considerations in other ways.
