Strategische samenwerking van de grote mogendheden in de VN-Veiligheidsraad 1946-2000
In: http://dspace.library.uu.nl/handle/1874/23541
The subject of this study is the strategic cooperation of the permanent members in the Security Council in the period 1946 2000. Because of their right of veto the cooperation of the permanent members has a significant influence on the functioning of the Council. The most important aspects of the cooperation that were investigated are the intensity of the cooperation and the ef-fectiveness of this cooperation in preventing and ending wars. To investigate these aspects, for both the intensity and the effectiveness measuring instruments were constructed. These measuring instruments were based on comprehensive sets of so-called 'leading indicators' and statistical methods and techniques. The intensity of the cooperation increased gradually from 1946 until 1990 (the end of the Cold War). Then it started to increase rapidly until 1996. From 1996 a slight decrease can be discer-ned. The strong increase in the strategic cooperation of the permanent members in the security Council can be established in all the majors forms of cooperation in the Council: the numbers of adopted strategic resolutions and presidential statements, the numbers of employed means (like peacekeeping missions and enforcement actions) and the amounts of money that were spent on peacekeeping activities. Further it was established that the response times of the Council regarding potential and waged wars dropped significantly since the end of the Cold War. The effectiveness of the cooperation of the permanent members in the Council was, insofar this was measurable with the applied method, not good for many years, but after the Cold War a clear improvement can be discerned. This goes for the prevention of wars, as well as for post war peacebuilding and the ending of wars. Also the numbers of potential and waged wars in which the Council not intervened dropped significantly since the end of the Cold War, as well as the use of vetoes. The large number of potential and waged wars in which the Council did not intervene during the Cold War was nearly exclusively caused by 'non decisions' (the non placing of wars on the agenda), and not by the use of vetoes by permanent members, as is often assumed in literature. Further, a comparison of two phase classifications of the Cold War showed that the great powers, even when there are great tensions among them, are prepared to cooperate in the Security Council to resolve strategic matters, if they consider this in their interest. Analyses of the adopted strategic resolutions during the Cold War revealed that cooperation here was nearly exclusively limited to issues that were not core issues of the Cold War. From this it can be concluded that cooperation against third party states was a basis of cooperation of the great powers in the Security Council. Finally, the results of this study show clearly that the Security Council was regarded and used to a large extent by the permanent members in the period 1946 2000 as an instrument of foreign policy to pursue their national interests, and not as an instrument of the world community to prevent and end wars.

This special issue of Res Publica about administrative power of municipalities in the Netherlands & Flanders, Belgium, focuses in particular on the meaning of cooperation for the strengthening of administrative power. Until recently discussions on administrative power concentrated mostly on the possibility of the merger of municipalities. The three contributions to this issue demonstrate that different kinds of cooperation are a fair alternative for the strengthening of administrative power of municipalities.

Europese defensie en de navo: op zoek naar complementariteit

The European Union and the NATO have 21 of their 27 and 26, respectively, member states in common. The friction between the two institutions is based on the fact that the EU has matured into a well established strategic actor, with its own policies and priorities, and growing ambitions and capacities. The present article discusses a stable and flexible two-pillar model to end the EU-NATO competition. The two-pillar construction that is proposed here implicates a pragmatic attitude, in which each separate case will be looked into separately, to then appoint the organization that will be the best suited for the job.

A SECONDARY ANALYSIS OF SURVEY DATA COLLECTED BY THE NEDERLANDS INSTIT VOOR PUBLIEKE OPINIE EN HET MARKTONDERZOEK (NIPO) IN CONNECTION WITH THE NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 1970-1980, STUDIES THE ATTITUDES TOWARD & THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION IN THE NETHERLANDS. OPERATIONALIZATION OF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD INCLUDE AN EXAMINATION OF THE AIMS OF DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION STRATEGY (IN THIS CASE THE AIMS OF RESOLUTION 2626 (XXV), ACCEPTED AT THE 25TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UN). IT SHOULD INCLUDE A STUDY OF CONCRETE POLICY OR SOME ALTERNATIVE FOR ACHIEVING THESE ENDS. IN SUCH A WAY WE MIGHT EXAMINE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT & ATTITUDES TOWARD CONCRETE ITEMS OF DEVELOPMENT POLICY. 2 CLUSTERS OF ATTITUDES TOWARD DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION WERE FOUND: A COSMOPOLITAN ORIENTATION & A CHARITABLE ONE; THE FORMER PROVED POSITIVELY RELATED WITH KNOWLEDGE. THIS POSITIVE RELATION IS ONLY A STOCHASTIC ONE & INDICATES A PROBABILITY, NOT A CAUSALITY. OTHER BACKGROUND VARIABLES WERE EXAMINED TO ILLUMINATE THE REMAINING NECESSARY CONDITIONS WHICH MAKE FOR A COSMOPOLITAN ORIENTATION. 16 TABLES, 1 FIGURE. HA.

Apart from Belgian's OSCE Presidency (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe), two other important topics in 2006 Belgian foreign affairs were economic diplomacy and the European policy. Concerning economic diplomacy the text addresses the problems surrounding two German branches on Belgian territory: the Volkswagen assembly line and DHL. Furthermore, increased importance of economic diplomacy is a well decided approach of the current Minister for Foreign Affairs De Gucht, emphasizing that in bilateral discussions the economic aspect has to be taken into account at all times. Regarding the European policy of ongoing development of European security and defense policy (EVDB) and civic-military cooperation are addressed. Transatlantic relations have improved since 2003 (Iraq war), changing into a "agree where we can, agree to disagree where we can't" attitude, Belgium diplomatic language has lost its rougher edges, and "the glorious three", three years of Belgium presidency (OSCE 2006, UN Security Council 2007-2008) in which the country gained in expressiveness, but lost character opposite large power such as Russia, the US and China. Regarding the UN Security Council a main objective was abolishing the veto right for permanent member states. Tables, Figures, References. O. van Zijl
