In this paper, we analyze sanctioning policies in international law. We develop a model of international military conflict where the conflicting countries can be a target of international sanctions. These sanctions constitute an equilibrium outcome of an international political market for sanctions, where different countries trade political influence. We show that the level of sanctions in equilibrium is strictly positive but limited, in the sense that higher sanctions would exacerbate the military conflict, not reduce it. We then propose an alternative interpretation to the perceived lack of effectiveness of international sanctions, by showing that the problem might not be one of undersanctioning but of oversanctioning. 1 Table, 1 Figure, 47 References.

This article addresses the effect of political instability and domestic conflict on the probability of militarized interstate disputes. Existing research on the subject has produced inconsistent findings. I hypothesize that the effect of political instability on international disputes is conditional on states' involvement in civil conflict. More specifically, I argue that while political instability provides leaders with the willingness to use force, civil war creates the necessary opportunities for initiating conflict abroad. A directed-dyad analysis of international rivals for the 1816–2000 time period shows that instability coupled with civil war increases the probability of militarized interstate dispute initiation among rival states. Results are consistent for alternative indicators of political instability and civil war.

Mit den Weltkonferenzen der 90er Jahre ins Zentrum des öffentlichen Interesses geraten, werden Nichtregierungsorganisationen (non-governmental organizations, NGO) zur bevorzugten Projektionsfläche für vielerlei Erwartungen und Wünsche, sie bündeln aber auch Enttäuschungen und Ohnmachtsgefühle. Sie werden durch die Strukturveränderungen des internationalen Systems, durch neue Problemlagen sowie durch die darauf gerichteten Politikformen zu einem Akteur, dem neue Aufgaben und neue Wirkungsmöglichkeiten zugeschrieben werden. Diese Zuschreibung gilt in besonderem für die internationale Biopolitik. In ihrem Beitrag diskutieren die Autoren zunächst die Beziehungen zwischen NGOs, "internationaler Zivilgesellschaft" und Staat, um dann die verschiedenen Rollen von NGOs in der Problemgenese von Biopolitik zu umreißen. Diese Rollen und Strategien werden anhand von zwei internationalen Konferenzen erläutert. Abschließend werden Schlußfolgerungen sowohl zum Begriff der NGOs und ihrer Relevanz für die Entwicklung des Konfliktfeldes als auch zu den Charakteristika dieses Feldes selbst gezogen. (prb)
