Klappentext: Die Geopolitik - die Lehre vom Einfluß des geographischen Raumes auf die Politik eines Staates - hat im 20. Jahrhundert für die Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik der Großmächte zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Obwohl gerade für Deutschland aufgrund seiner prekren Mittellage in Europa von besonderem Interesse, waren geopolitische Konzepte infolge des Mibrauchs durch den Nationalsozialismus hierzulande lange diskreditiert. So leistet dieses Buch des Wissenschaftlichen Direktors im Amt für Studien der Bundeswehr Pionierarbeit. Es legt die Grundlagen der Geopoltik dar und macht sie für die neue deutsche Auen- und Sicherheitspolitik fruchtbar.

Terrorists are continuously learning to utilize the Internet as an accessible and cost-effective information infrastructure. Since a constant manual monitoring of terrorist-generated multilingual web content is not a feasible task, automated Web Intelligence and Web Mining methods are indispensable for efficiently securing the Web against its misuse by terrorists and other dangerous criminals. Web Intelligence and Security contains chapters by the key speakers of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Web Intelligence and Security that took place on November 18-20, 2009 in Ein-Bokek, Israel. This Workshop has brought together a multinational group of leading scientists and practitioners interested in exploiting data and text mining techniques for countering terrorist activities on the Web. Most talks were focused on presenting available methods and tools that can alleviate the information overload of intelligence and security experts. The key features of this book include: An up-to-date analysis of the current and future threats of the Internet misuse by terrorists and other malicious elements including cyberterrorism, terror financing and interactive online communication by terrorists and their supporters; Detailed presentation of the state-of-the-art algorithms and tools aimed at detecting and monitoring malicious online activities on the Web; Introduction of novel data mining and text mining methods that can be used to efficiently analyze the massive amounts of multi-lingual Web content; The book's wide audience includes research scientists, graduate students, intelligence analysts, and data / text mining practitioners.

Post-apartheid South Africa pursued a pro-multilateral stance in world – regarding multilateral institutions as crucial instruments for reinforcing its new-found image as a champion for southern African and African causes. Challenging the hegemony and dominance of western powers in particular, powerful countries in general, was at the heart of South Africa's multilateral strategies. Central to all multilateral engagements was respect for international law and the centrality of the United Nations (UN), stressing the promotion of human rights, debt relief, peace and stability, an equitable global trading system and sustainable development. Also of priority was reform of the UN and institutions of global governance, including the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

A large proportion of the world's population depends existentially on the water (and waterpower) of one or more of the globe's major transnational river systems. By virtue of its transnational flow, each system has acquired a set of intergovernmental understandings varying in formality and degree of institutionalization and subject to ongoing practice and discourse. For the most part, those understandings have sufficiently structured discourse and practice to keep competition for water from becoming headline threats to international peace and security. This relatively felicitous condition seems unlikely to endure principally in the Global South where three powerful forces are bound to impose increasingly severe strains on the extant understandings.

"While Nigeria benefited from the sharp rise in international oil prices at the beginning of the twenty-first century in terms of economic growth, economic stabilisation and diversification as wen as an improvement in living conditions all failed to materialise. This paper finds that instead of investing resource revenues in economic diversification and social development, a small elfte consisting of politicians and business leaders has simply seized the country's oil rents. Ten years after a democratic transition, the political sphere is still shaped by the elite's rent-seeking behaviour and a neopatrimonial state which distributes oil rents in exchange for political support and favours. Conflicts over resources are carried out an a regional level, triggered by ethnic diversity and consequences of environmental damages that frequently spark violence, particularly in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Internationally, Nigeria maintains stable relations with Western countries and has developed dose ties with China, India, and South Korea. Within the region, Nigeria has assumed an active role through its engagement in peace-building missions led by the UN and the African Union. However, without responsible political and economic managers to carry out reforms, Nigeria's prospects for sustainable development and peace are far from promising." (publisher's description)
