International audience ; Vor zehn Jahren fanden die Nationalratswahlen 1999 statt, aus welchen die umstrittene Koalition zwischen der konservativen ÖVP und der populistischen FPÖ entstand. Dem Motto des "Neuregieren" entsprechend wurde die seit den 1970ern geübte Hochschulpolitik grundsätzlich in Frage gestellt. Die Öster - reichische HochschülerInnenschaft (ÖH), das bundesweite Vertretungsorgan der österreichischen Studierendenorganisationen, war von diesen Gesetzen besonders stark betroffen. Auf der Basis der Nationalratswahlen und der ÖHWahlen wird daher untersucht, wie die in der ÖH vertretenen Studierenden - organisationen auf die verschiedenen Universitätsreformen seit 2000 reagiert haben. Die Analyse der Bedeutung jener Gesetze und der damit verknüpften Reaktionen offenbart, in welcher Hinsicht Studierendenorganisationen und politische Parteien an der Macht oder in der Opposition seit dieser politischen Wende interagiert haben. Brüche und Kontinuitäten werden daher sowohl aus einer historischen Perspektive (vor/nach 1999, vor/nach den Universitäts - reformen) als auch aus einem soziologischen Blickwinkel betrachtet (Autonomie gegenüber den politischen Organen, ein- oder gegenseitige Hilfe, Bedeutung dieser Verhältnisse). ; Dix années se sont écoulées depuis les élections législatives autrichiennes de 1999 et la naissance de la coalition fort controversée entre le parti conservateur ÖVP et le parti populiste FPÖ. Conformément à sa devise du « gouverner autrement », cette coalition allait notamment bouleverser la politique universitaire en place depuis les années 1970. À l'appui des résultats aux élections législatives et étudiantes, le but de cette analyse est de cerner comment les organisations étudiantes autrichiennes représentées dans la ÖH, une confédération nationale étudiante unique en son genre, ont réagi aux différentes lois de réforme des universités votées depuis 2000. L'analyse des enjeux et des réactions en lien avec les mesures prises permet d'approfondir la question des interactions entre organisations étudiantes et partis politiques au pouvoir ou dans l'opposition depuis ce tournant politique. Ruptures et continuités doivent dès lors être entendues tant dans une perspective historique (avant/après 1999, avant/après les lois de réforme des universités) que sociologique (autonomie face aux organes politiques/aide uni- ou bilatérale, enjeux de ces relations).

The end of the Cold War provides challenges and opportunities for American foreign policy leadership that arguably have been equalled in modern times only by the period in which the Cold War began. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and communist regimes in Eastern Europe, the partners of the Atlantic alliance have achieved a profound diplomatic and political victory of historic importance. The international system which has resulted, however, arguably has more uncertainty and unpredictability than the familiar bipolar competition between the two superpowers and their allies. The book describes these changes and provides suggestions for policy analysis and definition in the future. There is extensive discussion of developments during the Reagan, Bush and Clinton administrations, with particular reference to the two regions of Europe and Asia. There is a three-fold division between intellectual, structural and sociological dimensions of foreign policy, focusing respectively on the ideas and themes, alliance and other regional and international organizations - including the private corporation, and human dimensions which both define and influence evolving international relations. A principal argument is that the extraordinary expansion of communication, travel and economic activity and opportunity among industrialized nations has greatly enhanced American political and social influence. There is considerable comparative discussion of Europe and Asia, concluding that Britain and South Korea provide instructive examples for the understanding and conduct of foreign policy

Nigel Lowe is a leading expert in international family law, with a world-wide reputation for his work in child law, international family relocation and child abduction. His career, spanning more than 40 years, has produced a huge body of literature and is internationally influential and of particular importance within Europe. A collaborative effort by members of the judiciary, practitioners and fellow academics from both the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions, this book is a recognition of the impact of his work. It covers key issues in international child and family law including those in which Professor Lowe's work has been particularly influential, namely adoption, wardship, parental responsibility, children's rights, international family relocation and the 1980 Hague Convention on International Child Abduction. International and transnational family law has been a developing field of study and a growing area of legal practice over recent years. At a time of great international change and with the complications and implications of Brexit, this book covers many of the key issues in family law today and provides the reader with an exploration of possible future developments in the field

Addressing the weakening of the nation-state and the globalizing tendencies of the 21st century, this compilation of writings looks at international wars, boundaries, cultural conflict and world economy in a bid to address the changing relationship between politics and geography.

Die ablehnende Haltung Chinas zu den NATO-Luftschlägen gegen Jugoslawien, die sich durch die Zerstörung der chinesischen Botschaft in Belgrad noch verhärtet hat, ist bekannt. Die Gründe für diese Ablehnung sind ähnlich gelagert wie in Falle Rußlands. Auch für Bejing ist die militärische Intervention der NATO nicht nur der Beweis für das machtpolitische Streben der USA, sondern sie stellt auch einen gefährlichen Präzedenzfall dar, der möglicherweise künftig China selbst betreffen könnte. Entwicklungen auf Taiwan, im Südchinesischen Meer oder in den überwiegend von ethnischen Minderheiten bewohnten Regionen Tibet und Xinjiang könnten in Zukunft Anlaß für eine 'Einmischung in die inneren Angelegenheiten' Chinas von außen bieten. Abgesehen von der deutlich verschärften anti-amerikanischen Stimmung, die sich in China registrieren läßt, hat die chinesische Führung aus der Lage im Kosovo offenbar für sich Schlussfolgerungen gezogen, die sich möglicherweise auf die Politik gegenüber den chinesischen Minderheitengebieten einerseits und auf die Modernisierung der chinesischen Streitkräfte andererseits auswirken werden.

The International Relations (IR) discipline is ascendant because of the theoretical
and methodological divisions and controversies within. As it is mostly placed in
the Non-Western IR category, Turkish IR is an interesting case in that it reveals
the temporal changes of theoretical debates in IR and their local resonance
from the purview of a geography that is jammed between the West and the rest.
For this reason, this paper examines the literature on the Turkish School of IR
(if there is any) and draws some conclusions regarding its current state. This
research first utilizes the Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP)
surveys conducted by the International Relations Council of Turkey (IRCT)
between 2007 and 2018. More extensively, the top 20 journals categorized under
Google Scholar's "Diplomacy and International Relations" list are coded based
on their titles containing "Turkey." Articles from the 1922–2021 period are then
analyzed considering their authors, abstracts, and keywords. From this analysis,
the study finds that studies focusing on Turkey have improved over the years,
although there is a need for more theoretical and methodological advancements.
As a "peripheral" country in IR, Turkey is still a subject of study by the "center"
countries.

Ontology and World Politics presents a new approach to political universalism, grounded in the reinterpretation of world politics from an ontological perspective. In the discipline of International Relations the concept of world politics remains ambivalent, functioning both as a synonym of international relations and their antonym, denoting the aspirations for the overcoming of interstate pluralism in favour of a universalist politics of the global community or the world state. Rather than distinguish 'world politics' from 'international politics' by its site, level or issues, Prozorov interprets it as another kind of politics. Drawing on Martin Heidegger's account of world disclosure and Alain Badiou's phenomenology of worlds, this book posits world politics as a practice of the affirmation of universal axioms across an infinite plurality of limited and particular situations or 'worlds'. Prozorov reinterprets the familiar principles of community, equality and freedom in ontological terms as attributes of pure being, subtracted from all positive determinations, and presents them as axioms of universalist politics valid in any world whatsoever. This approach to world politics serves as the groundwork for a comprehensive reconsideration of the central themes of political and international relations theory. ; Peer reviewed
