'Rogue states' have been high on the international security agenda for many years but their theoretical significance for International Relations has remained poorly understood. In contrast to the bulk of writings on 'rogue states' that address them merely as a policy challenge, this book focuses on what we can learn from deviance about the international system and international society. Building on three basic insights developed in social constructivism and critical theory, this volume brings together interdisciplinary insights into the study of 'rogue states', exploring the role of comity and decency in labelling of 'rogue states', the impact labelling has on behaviour, how to treat a 'rogue state', how 'rogue' status can be withdrawn and what part the role of international law has to play in this process. This unique and wide-ranging study will appeal to scholars of Sociology, Criminology, Political Science, International Relations and International Law.

Wissenschaft und Politik müssen sich heute vielfachen, oft neuen Herausforderungen stellen: Zerfallende Staaten, Verteilungskonflikte, Terrorismus und Flüchtlingsströme sind nur einige Beispiele. Im vorliegenden Band zeichnen renommierte Experten und Expertinnen aus dem In- und Ausland ein Panorama der internationalen Sicherheitsherausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Rolle Deutschlands zeigen sie dabei strategische Ansätze auf, wie diese Herausforderungen effektiv und sinnvoll bewältigt werden können, und liefern so neue Impulse für die sicherheitspolitische Debatte in Deutschland.

Der Verfasser dieses einführenden Lehrbuches für Studenten der Politikwissenschaft legt Wert auf saubere Abgrenzung des Begriffes "Internationale Beziehungen" gegen die der "Außenpolitik" und "Internationalen Politik". Außenpolitik geht von der Perspektive des Einzelstaates aus, Internationale Politik von einer Vielzahl von Staaten. Die Lehre von den Internationalen Beziehungen dagegen betrachtet Handlungen von Staaten und Akteure unter internationaler Perspektive. Nach einer Charakteristik der verschiedenen Theorien gibt der Verfasser einen Überblick über die aktuelle Situation der wichtigsten Akteure und Aktionsfelder aus internationaler Sicht: USA, Russland, Europa, China/Japan, Naher Osten, Lateinamerika, internationale Organisationen. Wichtig für Bibliotheken mit studentischem Publikum. (3)

Stereotypes in sports coverage depict national teams as individual subjects with a firm 'character,' which remains constant over a long period of time. In so doing, it is assumed that the attributed national characters can be 'recognised' in every individual of a nation and, ultimately, all of their (not only footballing) actions. This article about the coverage of the football World Cups and European Championships since 2002 examines such attributions. At first, it is shown that such national stereotypes form a system that is based on distinct positions. On this basis, confusions of the system of national stereotypes relating to football, which, for example, arise out of the fact that a national team temporarily adopts another team's playing style, are examined. However, such confusions are mostly revised during and at the end of international tournaments, with the result that the system of national stereotypes recently can rather be understood as a construction kit of elements which can be combined in various ways frequently without endangering the system.
