This report by the International Commission on the Balkans contends that the current status quo in the Western Balkans is dangerous & unsustainable & that European integration is the only way to bring development & prosperity to the region. Despite a massive amount of money, goodwill, & human resources that the international community has invested in the Balkans, the states continue to be held back by low economic growth, high unemployment, corruption, & distrustful citizens. The report states the only way to prevent the Western Balkans from turning into a black hole of Europe is to move the region as a whole to the stage of European Union accession. The report discusses: 1) the status quo & EU's Balkan dilemma, & 2) the key elements of the new policy framework, including constitutional issues & the integration challenge. Tables, References. A.

Der Artikel geht der Frage nach, wie internationale Organisationen entstehen, warum sie entstehen und ob sie tatsächlich das umsetzen, wofür sie ursprünglich gegründet worden sind. Internationale Organisationen stellen wie alle bürokratischen Gebilde eigene Regeln auf und sind deshalb mächtig. Die Gefahr besteht allerdings darin, am eigenen Regelngebilde zu ersticken und unempfänglich zu werden für äußere Einflüsse. Anhand politischer Theorien wird das Machtgefüge der internationalen Organisationen und ihre Stellung im internationalen System analysiert. (SWP-Drh)

In this article focus is put on how politics influences International Law majorly in the form of coercive and cooperative ways like ideological imposition, sovereign self-interest games, humanitarianism, good governance, customs and treaties as well as ways surrounding the solution of international conflicts and dealing with non-state actors.

Jean-Louis Dufour décortique la dernière crise survenue entre l'Irak et les Etats-Unis et qui a été résolue par l'accord Saddam Hussein-Kofi Annan conclu en février 1998 en se fondant sur un modèle théorique des crises internationales, même si celle-ci s'est caractérisée par un certain nombre d'éléments exceptionnels. Au total, l'Irak et ses dirigeants, objets, selon lui, d'une condescendance injustifiée de la part des Occidentaux, semblent bien être les véritables vainqueurs de cette crise. Elle pose en outre une question fondamentale, notamment au regard de la politique américaine actuelle : les sanctions économiques et les embargos décrétés à l'encontre de pays dotés d'un régime autoritaire sont-ils vraiment efficaces ?

The historical context of Colombia with more than 60 years of armed conflict (1948 - present) reveals that the phenomenon of forced displacement and migration has occurred in various periods. This phenomenon has not ceased and on the contrary continues to present itself today and therefore represents a significant role in various national and international scenarios, associated both with public policies for its prevention and mitigation and in the prosecution of crimes that are associated with this phenomenon. This article analyzes the various phenomena of migration and displacement and their causes that make it irrepressible at present and that imply new alternative mechanisms of solution, different from punitive repressive aspects. The data is developed through a hermeneutic, analytical and jurisprudential analysis method. For this purpose, the document was prepared using historical, descriptive, teleological and reflective instruments.

"This series started in 1981 with the Erice Seminars when the danger of a nuclear East-West confrontation was menacing the world. The volumes reproduce the crucial steps, from the Nuclear Winter to the Strategic Defense Initiative. After the collapse of the U.S.S.R., new emergencies are now to be faced such as the danger of proliferation of Weapons for Mass Destruction (WMD), the North-South confrontation on ecological problems and the new deal for Science and Technology to help developing countries in their struggle for a better standard of life. The Erice Seminars have attracted the attention of world leaders in Science, Technology and Culture."--
