How can large protest crowds be better and more respectfully managed by police? This topical book applies the principles of community-based conflict resolution to the policing of large crowds, suggesting a new approach based on mutual respect for protesters as principled dissenters and for police as non-repressive agents of public order

Das vorliegende Werk bietet eine Einführung in die wichtigsten Theorien internationaler Beziehungen und in analytische Grundkonzeptionen der internationalen Politik. Neben klassischen Theorien werden auch aktuelle Debatten wie Konstruktivismus oder Postmodernismus rezipiert. Auf der Praxisebene stehen die Handlungsfelder Wirtschaftsbeziehungen und Sicherheit im Mittelpunkt. Ausführlicher werden in diesem Zusammenhang die Außenbeziehungen Deutschlands, der EU und der USA dargestellt. Für die 3. Auflage wurden aktuelle Entwicklungen und Forschungsergebnisse berücksichtigt, die auf neue Entwicklungstendenzen in der Weltpolitik Bezug nehmen, z.B. die wachsende Rolle von nicht-staatlichen Organisationen, die Normbildung in der internationalen Umweltpolitik sowie der Politikwandel durch die Obama-Administration.

Ideenpolitik: das bringt eine bestimmte Richtung der ideengeschichtlich orientierten Politischen Theorie auf den Begriff, für die besonders das Werk von Herfried Münkler steht. Die Theorie der Politik bedarf der historischen Vergewisserung, um als Ideenreservoir für zeitgenössische Problemlagen dienen zu können. Die Auslegung der ideengeschichtlichen Tradition in Gestalt von Texten, Symbolen und Mythen wirft nicht nur ein Licht auf das politische Denken der Gegenwart, es bereitet auch ideenpolitische Interventionen der Zukunft vor.

"For centuries, oligarchs were viewed as empowered by wealth, an idea muddled by elite theory early in the twentieth century. The common thread for oligarchs across history is that wealth defines them, empowers them, and inherently exposes them to threats. The existential motive of all oligarchs is wealth defense. How they respond varies with the threats they confront, including how directly involved they are in supplying the coercion underlying all property claims, and whether they act separately or collectively. These variations yield four types of oligarchy: warring, ruling, sultanistic, and civil. Oligarchy is not displaced by democracy but rather is fused with it. Moreover, the rule of law problem in many societies is a matter of taming oligarchs. Cases studied in this book include the United States, ancient Athens and Rome, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, medieval Venice and Siena, mafia commissions in the United States and Italy, feuding Appalachian families, and early chiefs cum oligarchs dating from 2300 BCE"--
