Between peace and conflict in the East and the West: studies on transformation and development in the OSCE region
This open access book features various studies on democratization, transformation, socio-economic development, and security issues in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) geographical region and beyond. Written by experts and scholars working in the field of human dimension, security, transformation and development in Europe and Asia, particularly in post-soviet and communist countries, it examines the connectivity that the OSCE provides between the East and the West. The 2021 edition of this Compilation Series of the OSCE Academy presents studies on peace and conflict as well as political regime development in various member states of the OSCE as well as their economic, security and human rights performance and the challenges countries and society face currently. The OSCE is working in promoting Human Rights and Democratization under the notion of Human Dimension of ODIHR and is enhancing securitization and development policies in Eurasia, Europe, Central Asia and North America since 1991. 2021 marks the 30th anniversary on the tremendous efforts in promoting democracy, security and development.

Transitional Justice and the Quality of Democracy
In: International Journal of Conflict and Violence, Band 7, Heft 2
Transitional Justice is a long-term process which seeks to address severe human rights abuses of the past through measures such as trials, commissions of inquiry, memorials, apologies, reforms of the legal or security sector, school textbook reforms, and reconciliation projects. These measures are usually applied by governments, but can also be initiated by civil society groups, such as victim groups, or the international community, for example the European Union or the UNHCR. Transitional justice measures are seen as catalysts for coming to terms with the past and establishing new, stable, and often democratic societies. As such, the measures are linked to the performance and efficacy of democratic institutions in the context of their accountability and responsiveness, transparency, and level of citizen participation. Thus, transitional justice is a process that aims to reconcile divided and conflict-torn societies by re-establishing (democratic) institutions. These measures can be catalysts to leverage institutional performance. Adapted from the source document.
Menschenrechtsorganisationen: das Beispiel Amnesty International
In: Erbe des Kalten Krieges, S. 309-326
Im Rahmen des Sammelbandes zum Erbe des Kalten Krieges beschäftigt sich der Beitrag mit der 1961 gegründeten Menschenrechtsorganisation "Amnesty International". Der Beitrag skizziert zunächst deren Entwicklung und Arbeit im Kalten Krieg, die weitestgehend auf den Westen beschränkt war, da es im Osten kaum Handlungsfreiheiten für Menschenrechtsorganisationen gab. Anschließend erfolgt ein Blick auf die "Menschenrechtswende" von 1975. Nachdem im August 1975 die KSZE-Schlussakte mit ihrem Prinzipienkatalog verabschiedet worden war, verpflichteten sich die Ostblockländer, grundlegende Menschenrechtsnormen einzuhalten. Amnesty nahm dies zum Anlass, ihre Menschenrechtsstrategie gegenüber den kommunistischen Regimen anzupassen. Die KSZE-Folgekonferenzen wurden zur Plattform für Menschenrechtsorganisationen und änderten die Strategie und Taktik aller Aktivisten grundsätzlich. Der Beitrag betrachtet die Arbeit von Amnesty International unter den Rahmenbedingungen der Ost-West-Auseinandersetzungen und skizziert die Entwicklungen der Menschenrechtsorganisationen nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges. Die abschließenden Überlegungen widmen sich dem Erbe des Kalten Krieges für die Entwicklung von Amnesty International. (ICA2)
