"Die Analyse der Ursachen und Bedingungen internationaler Kooperation und Konfliktregulierung hat in der Disziplin der Internationalen Beziehungen durch das Regimekonzept neue Impulse erhalten. In diesem Beitrag sollen die zentralen Fragestellungen der Regimeanalyse unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Fruchtbarkeit dieses Konzepts für die Friedens- und Konfliktforschung dargestellt werden. Ausgehend von einer präzisierten Definition des Begriffs 'internationales Regime' wird die Entwicklung der Regimeanalyse in den Internationalen Beziehungen kurz erläutert. Daran schließt sich ein Überblick über die bisherigen Versuche der Theoriebildung und -überprüfung in diesem Forschungsgebiet an." (Autorenreferat)

Events such as the legal arguments surrounding the 2003 Iraq War and the creation of the International Criminal Court highlight the significance of international law in the contemporary world. This new textbook provides an introduction to the relationship between international law and international relations. David Armstrong, Theo Farrell and Hélène Lambert explore the evolution, nature and function of international law in world politics and situate international law in its historical and political context. They propose three interdisciplinary 'lenses' through which to view the role of international law in world politics: realist, liberal and constructivist. These lenses offer different ways of looking at international law in terms of what it is, how it works and how it changes. Topics covered include the use of force, human rights, international crimes, international trade and the environment, and each chapter features discussion questions and guides to further reading

"Prozesse internationaler Organisation und internationaler Integration befinden sich beide als Elemente auf einem historischen Kontinuum der Zivilisierung internationaler Beziehungen. Dabei entwickelten Studien über internationale Organisationen zwar ständig neue Analyserahmen, führten jedoch kaum abstraktere oder generalisierende Diskussionen. Die Forschung über internationale Integration erbrachte andererseits eine große Fülle ambitionierter Theorien und innovativer Konzepte, dies jedoch häufig auf eine erratische und diskontinuierliche Weise. In theoretischen Ansätzen zu internationalen Organisationen spiegelt sich die seit langem bestehende Aufteilung der Disziplin Internationale Beziehungen: 'Realisten' betonen den Nutzen internationaler Organisationen bei der Politikkoordination unabhängiger Staaten. 'Idealisten' weisen lieber auf ihren Beitrag zur letztlichen Überwindung der zwischenstaatlichen Anarchie hin. 'Marxisten' sehen internationale Organisationen als Ausdruck von Klasseninteressen und des Klassenkampfs auf internationaler Ebene. Gegenwärtig widmet sich die theoretische Befassung mit internationalen Organisationen hauptsächlich der Bestandsaufnahme und einer vorsichtigen Politikinterpretation. Im Gegensatz dazu standen Theorien internationaler Integration jahrzehntelang in voller Blüte. Föderalismus, Funktionalismus, Neofunktionalismus und Kommunikationstheorien stellten Erklärungsmuster für regionale und globale integrative Prozesse zur Verfügung, machten aber auch politische Ratschläge und Vorhersagen zukünftiger Veränderungen. Die Theoriedebatte im großen Stil brach jedoch Anfang der 70er Jahre ziemlich plötzlich ab, als die regionale Integration in Europa und anderswo zu stagnieren schien. Danach gab es nur noch bescheidene und fragmentarische theoretische Bemühungen, nahezu ausschließlich am Fall der Europäischen Gemeinschaft. Der Aufsatz fordert eine Wiederbelebung der theoretischen Forschung über internationale Integration, möglichst in enger Verbindung mit der Erforschung internationaler Organisationen."

The United Nations held a week-long Congress on Public International Law at its headquarters in New York in 1995 - the year of the celebration of the Organization's fiftieth anniversary - under the general theme `Towards the Twenty-first Century: International Law as a Language for International Relations'. The purpose of the Congress was thus to assist the international community, and in particular the legal profession, to meet the challenges and expectations of the present-day world. Views were expressed, and exchanged, on the codification, progressive development and implementation of public international law, both in theory and in practice, as well as on its teaching and dissemination. The Proceedings of the United Nations Congress contain the presentations and lectures of well-known jurists and professors - in the language given (English, French or Spanish) - as well as discussions that took place after the lectures. Subject matter includes: (1) The principles of international law: theoretical and practical aspects of their promotion and implementation; (2) Means of peaceful settlement of disputes between States, including resort to and full respect for the International Court of Justice; (3) Conceptual and practical aspects of the codification and progressive development of international law: new developments and priorities; (4) New approaches to research, education and training in the field of international law and its wider appreciation; and (5) Towards the twenty-first century: new challenges and expectations

Over seven chapters the book shows how international communication has been shaped by the structure of international political power and how these means of global communication have in turn been strategic tools for the exercise of international political power. There are separate chapters on global news flows, the international trade in cultural products (films, books, advertising, recorded music, periodicals and books), and government propaganda activities. The politics of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) are analysed
