"Die RAF, die 'Bewegung 2. Juni' und die Revolutionären Zellen verfügten über enge internationale Verbindungen. Palästinensische Gruppen trainierten die deutschen Linksterroristen militärisch. Zudem wurde die RAF Anfang der 1980er Jahre massiv vom MfS der DDR unterstützt." (Autorenreferat)

"In its relatively short life as a distinct academic discipline, international political economy (IPE) has become the quintessential interdisciplinary field. A contributed book, International Political Economy brings together a wide range of Canada's finest IPE scholars, offering a comprehensive, balanced introduction to the field of IPE, looking at theories, history, institutions, and topical analysis. With coverage of traditional and contemporary theories throughout, the book expertly integrates political science theory and analysis with economic fundamentals, using both to explore regional and issues analysis."--

Die Vergleichende Internationale Regimeforschung beschäftigt sich mit zwei zentralen Fragestellungen, die auch im Mittelpunkt des vorliegenden Beitrages stehen: (1) Warum entstehen internationale Regime? Unter welchen Bedingungen sind formal souveräne Nationalstaaten dazu bereit, in bestimmten Politikfeldern ihre Souveränität mit anderen zu "teilen", und sich gemeinsam erstellten Regelwerken zu unterwerfen? (2) Wie wirken einmal erstellte Internationale Regime auf das Politikfeld und die darin involvierten politischen Akteure? Die Autoren geben zunächst einen Überblick über die Theorieentwicklung in der Vergleichenden Policy-Forschung und beschreiben die Grundannahmen des institutionenökonomischen Ansatzes. Im Anschluss daran diskutieren sie die Frage, welche Bedingungen erfüllt sein müssen, damit eine Kooperation auch unter der Bedingung von Anarchie möglich ist. Sie erörtern außerdem die Grundprobleme grenzübergreifender Verregelung und stellen einige Modellierungsversuche vor, die die nationale und internationale Verhandlungsebene verknüpfen und die innergesellschaftliche Dimension internationaler Politik integrieren. Weitere Überlegungen beschäftigen sich mit den Wirkungen und Rückkopplungen internationaler Regime, bevor abschließend einige methodische Probleme der vergleichenden Politikwissenschaft skizziert werden.

The International Wheat Council held its 32d session in London from June 27 to June 30, 1961. The Council heard reports on the work of the sixth session of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Group on Grains. An interim report on the operations of participating countries in the crop year for the nine months to the end of April 1961 showed that total commercial purchases by member importing countries from member exporting countries under the terms of the International Wheat Agreement were about the same as during the same period in the previous year. Commercial and special trade of member exporting countries with non-participating countries showed a considerable increase over the same period last year, as did commercial purchases by some exporting countries from other member exporting countries. The Council also heard a report on FAO activities in regard to distributing food surpluses to needy people.

The quinquennial Plenipotentiary Conference of the International Telecommunication Union opened in Buenos Aires on October 3, 1952; the final act of the Conference was signed on December 22, 1952. The agreement reached at the Extraordinary Administrative Radio Conference of 1951 was endorsed by the Conference. After rejecting a proposal to eliminate the International Frequency Registration Board, the Conference considered various less drastic proposals to alter the structure and organization of the Board, and finally decided to maintain the Board at its present membership. As no new elections to the Board were held at the Buenos Aires meeting, the current members of the Board were considered reappointed. In revising the Atlantic City Convention, the Conference decided that countries, rather than individuals, should be elected to the Board and that each elected country should nominate one of its nationals to serve on the Board.

A meeting of a committee of the International Sugar Council was scheduled to open in London, September 29, 1952. The major question to be considered by the committee was the distribution of the world's sugar supply, in particular, the surplus accumulated in Cuba as a result of a record harvest. Many members of the organization were said to feel that a general reassessment of the marketing methods of sugar was needed in view of changed conditions of production. Some delegates were reported to favor asking the United Nations to convene a world sugar conference; it was pointed out that the principal obstacle to successful distribution of the world sugar supply was the lack of international convertibility of currencies. France, Belgium, Netherlands, United Kingdom, German Federal Republic, Peru, Haiti, Cuba, United States, and Indonesia were expected to send delegates to the meeting while observers were expected from Brazil, Mexico, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
