Heutzutage wurden die Wasserressourcen als ein wichtiges Element für die nachhaltige Entwicklung der Welt in verschiedenen akademischen Disziplinen diskutiert. Als Bestandteil der Wasserressourcen könnten die grenzüberschreitenden Wasserressourcen, die eng mit den internationalen Wasserläufen zusammenhängen, die internationalen Beziehungen, die Politik und auch die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung beeinflussen. Als wichtiges Instrument für die internationale Gemeinschaft bemerkt das Völkerrecht, insbesondere das internationale Wasserrecht, auch die Bedeutung dieses Phänomens. Die Autorin ist dar...
The discovery of oil in Uganda in 2006 ushered in an oil-age era with new prospects of unforeseen riches. However, after an initial exploration boom developments stalled. Unlike other countries with major oil discoveries, Uganda has been slow in developing its oil. In fact, over ten years after the first discoveries, there is still no oil. During the time of the research for this book between 2012 and 2015, Uganda's oil had not yet fully materialised but was becoming. The overarching characteristic of this research project was waiting for the big changes to come: a waiting characterised by indeterminacy. There is a timeline but every year it gets expanded and in 2018 having oil still seems to belong to an uncertain future. This book looks at the waiting period as a time of not-yet-ness and describes the practices of future- and resource-making in Uganda. How did Ugandans handle the new resource wealth and how did they imagine their future with oil to be? This ethnography is concerned with Uganda's oil and the way Ugandans anticipated different futures with it: promising futures of wealth and development and disturbing futures of destruction and suffering. The book works out how uncertainty was an underlying feature of these anticipations and how risks and risk discourses shaped the imaginations of possible futures. Much of the talk around the oil involved the dichotomy of blessing or curse and it was not clear, which one the oil would be. Rather than adding another assessment of what the future with oil will be like, this book describes the predictions and prophesies as an essential part of how resources are being made. This ethnography shows how various actors in Uganda, from the state, the oil industry, the civil society, and the extractive communities, have tried to negotiate their position in the oil arena. Annika Witte argues in this book that by establishing their risks and using them as power resources actors can influence the becoming of oil as a resource and their own place in a petro-future. The book offers one of the first ethnographic accounts of Uganda's oil and the negotiations that took place in an oil state to be. (Back cover)

Die bisherige nukleare Abschreckungsforschung analysierte meistens die direkte Abschreckung zwischen zwei Konfliktparteien, zum Beispiel zwischen den USA und der Sowjetunion im Kalten Krieg. Der Fokus lag im Abschreckungseffekt, der unmittelbar von den Parteien hervorging. Nach dem Kalten Krieg wurden in den meisten Studien ebenfalls die Konfliktdynamiken zwischen zwei Konfliktparteien analysiert. In dieser Studie wird zusätzlich der Mechanismus der doppelten Abschreckung dargestellt, der durch kollaboriertes Handeln mehrerer großer nuklearer Mächte entsteht. Diese Studie kombiniert interna...
George Washington Franklin Emerson writes from Papermill Village (now Alstead, New Hampshire) that he is uncertain whether he will be able to attend commencement at Norwich, Vermont; asks if Partridge could do anything for the "lady teacher" he mentioned in his earlier letter (of 2 August 1846); a Mr. Anderson from Nashua (Luther W. Anderson?) is taking his place at P (the school at Pembroke, New Hampshire?) but doesn't think he will stay long. ; Transcription by Joseph Byrne. Transcriptions may be subject to error.
Questionnaire about George Partridge Colvocoresses' service in World War I, 1917-1919, signed by Colvocoresses on 20 August 1922. Primarily includes information related to George Partridge Colvocoresses' service in the American Civil War and the Spanish-American War. Also included are observations related to Alden Partridge's portrayal in written histories of West Point (Colvocoresses' father, George Musalas Colvocoresses, was Alden Partridge's former ward). ; Questionnaire originally part of a survey of Norwich University alumni conducted by a "Norwich in the World War" committee consisting of Charles N. Barber (chairman), Carl V. Woodbury, K.R.B. Flint, and Gustaf A. Nelson. Data from these questionnaires may have been used in a chapter of "Vermont in the world war, 1917-1919" by Harold P. Sheldon (1928). Transcribed by Abigail Lumpkin. Transcriptions may be subject to human error.
