Weiss and Minear explore the problems associated with attempting to operationalize the evolving international humanitarian norm that civilians, regardless of location, are entitled to sustenance and medical assistance. In a host of recent civil wars in Africa, the attention of the international community has been drawn to the use of food deprivation by both governments and insurgents. The use of such deprivation has traditionally been part of the arsenals of warring factions, but the widespread and active mobilization of international public opinion against such tactics is relatively new. The authors argue that, while all historical situations are in some sense unique, Sudan is not so idiosyncratic that the lessons and the precedents cannot be replicated elsewhere to protect civilians caught between warring sides in civil wars.

This book provides a systematic overview of China's achievements in eliminating absolute poverty by 2020 under current standards. The book is divided into three parts: The first part is a study of major policy practices with distinctive characteristics in China's poverty alleviation practices; the second part is a study of China's international cooperation in poverty alleviation; the third part is a study of China's poverty alleviation by international scholars from the perspective of international cooperation and international comparison. These reports pay attention to China's achievements and experiences in poverty alleviation and reflect on how to strengthen cooperation with China in poverty alleviation. .

Der Autor entwickelt in seinem Beitrag einige Überlegungen zur Internationalisierung der Forschung in Brasilien. Er beschreibt unter anderem die historischen und zum Teil gegenläufigen Entwicklungen der Geistes- und Naturwissenschaften, die Rolle der Sprache in den Humanwissenschaften, die Demokratisierungsprozesse und die Reform des brasilianischen Hochschulwesens sowie aktuelle Studienprogramme zur Förderung des internationalen Austausches. Er umreißt ferner die Perspektiven zur internationalen Zusammenarbeit und benennt einige Beispiele von Förderprogrammen an den Hochschulen. Für eine erfolgreiche internationale Kooperation sind seiner Meinung nach drei Bedingungen ausschlaggebend: (1) Förderung der Interdisziplinarität mit Forschern aus Philosophie, Anthropologie, Soziologie, Politikwissenschaft, Geschichte, Künste und Kommunikation, (2) Entwicklung von neuen Fragestellungen in der Forschungs- und Wissenschaftspolitik, die bisher eher in traditioneller Weise beantwortet worden sind, (3) Publikation von wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten auch in anderen Sprachen, die in der internationalen Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft anerkannt sind.

During the interwar period, a number of organisations started to look into education as part of an attempt to understand how nationalism was fuelled through education and to what extent it had forced the outbreak of the Great War. These efforts coincided with a more general internationalisation of educational systems as part of the progressive movement. In response to nationalism and a perceived need for reformation of national narratives, the school subjects of history and geography became the primary suspects as advocates of chauvinism and militarism. In 1919, associations for the promotion of understanding and cooperation between the Scandinavian countries – the Norden Associations [föreningarna Norden] – began investigating history textbooks. The notion behind these efforts was that the Scandinavian peoples had especially strong natural and historical bonds that a false nationalism had eradicated, and in the zeitgeist of the time such bonds should be resurrected. This revision of textbooks was expanded in the 1930s to explore, assess, and develop the entire teaching of history in the Nordic countries. The Norden Associations converged on many levels with the disparate international movements for educational change that, in a broader sense, led to standardisation of not only history education, but also the whole educational system. This article presents the Norden Associations as part of a process of hegemonic isomorphism in which cultural hegemony set the institutional boundaries within which the organizations could work in order to attain legitimacy. The network of educators, researchers, organisations, and politicians that was involved in this process was vast. This article demonstrates how an organisation with a specific political agenda, and with only limited international objectives came to be – not only a part of – but, to some extent, an organisational role model for loftier efforts aimed at global and cosmopolitan history teachings.
