This Encyclopedia is the first attempt in a generation to map the social and behavioral sciences on a grand scale. Not since the publication in 1968 of the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, edited by David L. Sills, has there been such an ambitious project to describe the state of the art in all the fields encompassed within the social and behavioral sciences. Available in both print (26 volumes) and online editions, it comprises 4,000 articles, commissioned by 52 Section Editors, and includes 90,000 bibliographic references as well as comprehensive name and subject indexes

This thesis reviews the law that governs Australia's international, natural disaster response arrangements An international response to a disaster occurs when aid is sent to, or received by, a state that has been affected by the disaster event. From Australia's perspective this means there is an international disaster response if Australia sends disaster relief to an affected state or if Australia, affected by a disaster, receives assistance from another state or internationally based nongovernment or inter-government organisation. To conduct this review of Australia's legal position, relevant international law is identified and it is demonstrated that, although there are theoretical scenarios that could justify the provision of international assistance without the consent of the affected state, for all practical purposes the consent of the affected state is a necessary pre-condition for the delivery of international disaster assistance. This means that Australia will not send aid without the consent of a disaster-affected State, and Australia need not receive assistance unless that is consented to by the Commonwealth government. After reviewing the international law of general application between states, particular bi-lateral and multi-lateral agreements that Australia has entered are reviewed and their impact upon Australia's legal position on sending or receiving disaster assistance is identified. Having identified international law that impacts upon Australia, relevant Australian domestic law is considered. This analysis identifies the basis of Commonwealth legislative power in the area of disaster response and identifies legislation from Canada and the United States that can serve as examples for Australian legislative action. Australian law and policy is then benchmarked against the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' Guidelines for the Domestic Facilitation and Regulation of International Disaster Relief and Initial Recovery Assistance (2007). The process of reviewing and benchmarking Australia's law and policies shows that the legal and policy arrangements that are in place do not adequately address foreseeable legal issues that will arise in the event of a catastrophic natural disaster in Australia, or where Australia wishes to provide natural disaster relief assistance to another state. It is the recommendation of this thesis that the Commonwealth should pass a comprehensive counter-disaster Act to formalise and strengthen Australia's ability to respond to a catastrophic natural disaster both in Australia and overseas. A model Act, based on Canadian, American and Australian state and territory legislation, is developed. The model Act identifies the essential features that should be incorporated into Commonwealth legislation. This thesis identifies the law and policy applicable in Australia as at 6 February 2009. On 7 February 2009 bushfires swept through Victoria killing 173 people and destroying at least 2000 homes. At the same time floods in Queensland and New South Wales did significantly more property damage. This was followed by cyclone Hamish off the Queensland coast. During the cyclone a cargo ship, the Pacific Adventurer, lost several containers of fertiliser and 230 litres of fuel, causing a widespread environmental emergency. There is to be a Royal Commission into the Victorian fires and there will, inevitably, be 'lessons learned' reports from the other events. Whether or not these reports will lead to recommendations regarding Australia's emergency arrangements remains to be seen, but the outcomes from the inquiries into these events may well impact upon the findings in this thesis. Accordingly this thesis identifies the position at February 2009, but this will inform any subsequent recommendations for change arising out of the 2009 natural disasters.

We are living historical times, and that is in part not due to the best of reasons. In this complex Era, we are facing a critical stage: our planet's capacities to support our ongoing development have reached a rupture point. A concerted and precise take of action is mandatory in order to achieve a sustainable development, or otherwise, the risk of losing both our planet and our future perspectives is not only real, as well as imminent. Bearing this in mind, the aim of the present work is the analysis of international cooperation for sustainability. For this purpose, the case of the European Policy and its integrated climate and energy policy 2007 – 2020, was used as an attempt to analyse and ponder its goals, strengths and failures. This work has followed a documental based analysis, focusing on several crucial authors on governance in world politics, such as Richard Falk and Anne-Marie Slaughter among others. Concurrently, it was taken into account the establishment of theoretical links between those and other authors along with the European Union's climate and energy official position. It will present, without disregard for other works, that some of the main criticisms appointed to the Governance approach are based on its present structural limitations in conjunction with some of the faulty institutional examples found in today's contemporary international politics. Taking in consideration all the references and sources, this work was able to conclude that at the present time Environmental Governance is not merely a possible and reasonable path to world politics, but rather an essential part of its future. In conclusion, the path towards environmental sustainability is not an easy or quick one. It's a full-on commitment between all the interested parts: us, our children and our children's children. However, this is a commitment we must assume, because ready or not, the present is now. And the future of the planet depends on how we act at this very moment.

Le droit international public a une influence active sur l'ordre constitutionnel des États post-conflits. Les administrations de paix, qui déconstruisent les conflits et pacifient les territoires, représentent, exceptionnellement, la porte d'entrée du droit international dans l'ordre juridique interne auquel il se substitue temporairement. Ces administrations facilitent le transfert du pouvoir aux nouvelles autorités étatiques, chargées de mettre en oeuvre la constitution de sortie de crise internationalisée. Cette constitutionnalisation du droit international sur le plan interne est devenue un outil de règlement et de prévention des conflits par le droit. Elle suscite une problématique que l'auteur articule autour de trois axes de recherche : le cadre constitutionnel des administrations de paix, l'internationalisation de l'écriture des constitutions nationales et la mise en oeuvre des constitutions internationalisées dans l'ordre juridique interne. Cet ouvrage est plus que jamais d'actualité à l'heure où dans de nombreux États du monde, les instances internationales de médiation sont au chevet des États en situation de crise politico-institutionnelle afin de régler des conflits anciens ou latents
