The War is Over: a rose without thorns
ISBN: 9781492136101 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We are all to blame for all the wars happening around the world today. We embellish and romanticize war so much that kids can actually play it as a video game. A game made from visuals of the real thing. It seems as if the media is controlling our minds with shocking stories giving great ratings for their shows. I am still trying to find a show that focuses on solving the issues or focuses on people who are looking at these issues from the standpoint that we must stop this insane cycle of racism, genocide, systematic control and hate. I love history and political science. This book gives...

Friendship and International Relations
ISBN: 9781137396334 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Every form of social community involves friendship. When we look around, international politics presents us with numerous examples. We may cite the 'Franco-German friendship', the Anglo-American 'special relationship', and the former 'Sino-Soviet friendship'. The Treaty of Westphalia of 1648 proclaimed 'sincere Amity' among its signatories. Furthermore, the UN Charta is dedicated to promote 'friendly relations among nations'. While we find many instances of friendship discourse in international politics we know remarkably little about them. How can we conceptualize and study friendship in...

Peacebuilding and Ex-Combatants: Political Reintegration in Liberia
ISBN: 9781138791480 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book examines how ex-combatants in post-war and peacebuilding settings engage in politics, as seen in the case of Liberia. The political mobilization of former combatants after war is often perceived as a threat, ultimately undermining the security and stability of the state. This book questions this simplified view and argues that understanding the political voice of former combatants is imperative. Their post-war role is not black and white; they are not just bad or good citizens, but rather engage in multiple political roles: spoilers, victims,...

Understanding Influence: The Use of Statebuilding Research in British Policy
ISBN: 9781472427571 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The overarching objective of this book is to analyse the manner in which statebuilding-oriented research has and can influence policies in fragile, post-conflict environments. Large-scale, externally-assisted statebuilding is a relatively new and distinct foreign policy domain having risen to the forefront of the international agenda as the negative consequences of state weakness have been repeatedly revealed in the form of entrenched poverty, regional instability and serious threats to international security. Despite the increasing volume of research on statebuilding, the use and uptake of...

Conflict Resolution and Human Needs: Linking Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9781138847606 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This edited volume examines Basic Human Needs theory and interactive problem solving, looking at recent developments in thinking about both and how these might affect peacebuilding in contemporary conflicts of the twenty-first century. The era in the immediate aftermath of World War II was, paradoxically, a time of great optimism in parts of academia. There was, especially in the United States and much of Europe, a widespread belief in the social sciences that systematic scholarly analysis would enable humanity to understand and do something about the most complex of social...

Debating the End of Yugoslavia
ISBN: 9781409467113 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Countries rarely disappear off the map. In the 20th century, only a few countries shared this fate with Yugoslavia. The dissolution of Yugoslavia led to the largest war in Europe since 1945, massive human rights violations and over 100,000 victims. Debating the End of Yugoslavia is less an attempt to re-write the dissolution of Yugoslavia, or to provide a different narrative, than to take stock and reflect on the scholarship to date. New sources and data offer fresh avenues of research avoiding the passion of the moment that often characterized research published during the wars and provide...

Monopoly of Force: The Nexus of DDR and SSR
ISBN: 9781502577931 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the immediate aftermath of war or in the midst of violent conflict, there is everything to be done. The urgency of anything can be overwhelming and can lead to paralysis. Sequencing and prioritizing seem unrealistic luxuries, and confusion often reigns. Studies show that of the countries emerging from conflict, 40 percent return to it within 10 years. Indeed, immediate past conflict is the single most highly correlated predictive factor for future conflict. When the window for peace consolidation opens, robust efforts must be directed toward reinforcing and broadening the peace to ensure...

A valuable publication, it treats a series of related problems on the basis of a broadly...

Global Justice, Kant and the Responsibility to Protect: A Provisional Duty
ISBN: 9781138856332 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides an innovative contribution to the study of the Responsibility to Protect and Kantian political theory. The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine has been heralded as the new international security norm to ensure the protection of peoples against genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Yet, for all of the discussion, endorsements and reaffirmations of this new norm, R2P continues to come under fire for its failures, particularly, and most recently, in the case of Syria. This book argues that a duty to protect is best... This book provides an innovative contribution to the study of the Responsibility to Protect and Kantian political theory. The Responsibility... |

Costly Democracy: Peacebuilding and Democratization After War
ISBN: 9780804781985 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Peacebuilding is an interactive process that involves collaboration between peacebuilders and the victorious elites of a postwar society. While one of the most prominent assumptions of the peacebuilding literature asserts that the interests of domestic elites and peacebuilders coincide, Costly Democracy contends that they rarely align. It reveals that, while domestic elites in postwar societies may desire the resources that peacebuilders can bring, they are often less eager to adopt democracy, believing that democratic reforms may endanger their substantive interests. The book offers...

The United States of America did warn on two different occasions that if Nigeria should continue the way that it is going, the country may disintegrate by 2015. A lot of other analysts have attested to that fact and current events are leading to that direction. This book analyzes the threats to the corporate existence of Nigeria and also proffers solutions. The book is both revealing and prescriptive. The book is an intellectual property for teachers and students of political science, history and public administration, it also provides information to the general public on the state of the...

Waging War on War: Peacefighting in American Literature
ISBN: 9780252039751 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The notion that war plays a fundamental role in the United States' idea of itself obscures the rich--and by no means naive--seam of anti-war thinking that winds through American culture. Non-violent resistance, far from being a philosophy of passive dreamers, instead embodies Ralph Waldo Emerson's belief that peace "can never be defended, never be executed, by cowards." Giorgio Mariani rigorously engages with the essential question of what makes a text explicitly anti-war. Ranging from Emerson and Joel Barlow to Maxine Hong Kingston and Tim O'Brien, Waging War on War explores why sustained...

Realizing Peace
ISBN: 9780190228668 / Angielski / Twarda / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Early work in conflict resolution and peace research focused on why wars broke out, why they persisted, and why peace agreements failed to endure. Later research has focused on what actions and circumstances have actually averted destructive escalations, stopped the perpetuation of destructive conduct, produced a relatively good conflict transformation, or resulted in an enduring and relatively equitable relationship among former adversaries. This later research, which began in the 1950s, recognizes that conflict is inevitable and is often waged in the name of rectifying injustice....
