The shadow of Somalia deeply influenced the mandating of future mission while the U.S, through the PDD25, changed its course of policy towards UN Peacekeeping operations. The Rwandan 1994 genocide is of particular significance in the sense that it illustrates the challenges and difficulties encountered by the international community and the UN to correspond adequately to intra-state conflicts. The Rwandan genocide could not be prevented although UN Peacekeeping troops were on the ground prior to and during the massacres - in a period of hundred days, nearly one million people have lost their lives. Foremost, the book aims at evaluating the UN involvement in Rwanda, especially through the intervention of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR). Subsequently, the mission`s mandate and its inherent challenges and difficulties encountered will be examined. The final part will scrutinize which, if any, lessons have been learnt from Rwanda and will portray weaknesses of UN Peacekeeping operations. ····· 10361101579

Such scholarships have emphasized a wide variety of domestic actors like the degree of state control, strength of civil society and role of the military.The need therefore to reexamine the increasing importance of the external dimension which seems neglected has been emphasized. By employing time tested theory this book offers a critical attempt at bringing such factors to light by critically assessing the role of the external factors in Ghana`s democratization process. This is done by subjecting two key players in Ghana`s democracy drive in the light of their democracy promotion effort and their effectiveness. ····· 10361101540

The cost of the placement of a landmine is very low, the cost of the removal is very high. The annual number of casualties in the whole world is between 15.000 and 20.000 civilians. Even a suspicion of the presence of landmines can already have a devastating effect on communities and their social-economic well being. This research describes the evaluation of the humanitarian mine action (HMA) programs that are funded by the Netherlands for the period 1996-2004. The programs are evaluated specifically on their embeddedness into a broader development strategy. Embeddedness has increasingly attracted attention, because landmines and ERW are a direct threat to individuals and communities, but also indirectly by being a barrier for short-term emergency interventions and long-term development efforts. This research is specifically interesting for organizations in the HMA sector. The research is also relevant for other organizations in the development aid sector that work in countries that are contaminated. ····· 10361101300

The time-frame covers period from signing-up of the PCA between the EU and Ukraine in June 1994 till February 2007, when the latest evaluation of the ENP Action Plan for Ukraine was done. EU strategic interests towards Ukraine always predetermined character of democratic conditions and size of rewards suggested to Ukraine for the implementation of democratic reforms. The fact that the EU is not yet ready to integrate Ukraine into its institutions explains the vagueness of democratic conditions and mere scope of political incentives. Nevertheless, even providing precise and negative` democratic conditionality for Ukraine, the EU hardly intends to break relationship and leave Ukraine out of the European orbit even if Ukraine violates democratic provisions. After the Orange revolution, shift in the political regime of the country proved that pro-democratic government can implement democratic reforms even under imprecise conditions from the side of EU. Integration incentives could have contributed to stability of democratic initiatives of new Ukrainian government. ····· 10361101214

Though mentored by the infamous Yuri Andropov, Gorbachev was not a product of the Great Patriotic War but rather a new-age Russian technocrat who realized that the experiment of the CPSU was coming to a close. He could not anticipate that he would unleash a dynamic torrent of unintended consequences that would cause the implosion of the entire Soviet Union and its satellite system transforming the Russian experiment in socialism to a new phase of experimental engagement with western-style democracy. Students of the political dynamics of the Russian empire will observe the evolutionary nature of the transition that the visionary Gorbachev precipitated. Historians and comparative political scientists will understand the gravity and important implications that this dramatic twist in Russian political history has wrought and the continued dramatic changes in store for the Medvedev-Putin siloviki administration in the current nationalized Russian state. ····· 10361101160

Since the flow of water does not respect political boundaries, co-operation in measures leading to consultations, joint planning and water management frameworks remain the only options for a sustainable future in a prevailing emerging era of ecological interdependence. It is therefore imperative that basin-wide regimes redressing the institutional and legal framework governing water rights and allocation issues be established at the regional level in order to promote equity in the utilisation of shared water resources as envisaged in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Water Protocol. ····· 10361101006

The Indo-Pak struggle for the deterrent capability has always been in conflict with the norms as well as the writ of the global nonproliferation regime that encompasses several treaties, extensive multilateral and bilateral diplomatic agreements, multilateral organizations and domestic agencies, and the domestic laws of participating countries. The non-proliferation regime lacks the instruments which are universally acceptable. In case of South Asian nuclearization, nuclear acquisitions were somehow dependent on the international non- proliferation regime which has been moderated by the interests of great powers, especially the Cold War blocks and their policies subject to the nonproliferation. Regional conflicts further intervened and proved to be benefiting South Asian nuclear desire. The main objective of this monograph is to highlight the issues that have challenged the writ of global non-proliferation regime. ····· 10361100923

Transformation in Croatia was not an easy one, nor the most rapid one, but it was certainly very interesting as it did not follow the classical transitional processes of post communist countries. However, it came to the last phase and today it is successfully consolidating democracy. This study explores the transformation process of Croatia through three different phases: pre-transition, transition and consolidation phase. The research is concentrating mainly on the evolution of democratisation process and on the external influences that had impact on the consolidation of democracy. It assumes that democratic consolidation in Croatia is not completely natural it is a product of political engagement to satisfy the demands of the EU for the accession. In that context, the question of the EU - Croatian partnership will be evoked, as during the research one could not help but realise that no one wants to be governed by the puppet government . ····· 10361100887

While the theoretical framework for the analysis relies on recent political science literature on governance and policy implementation, the analytical framework is based on a neo-institutional approach to the interaction between the partners. The model of analysis identifies the main actors in the partnership and aims to analyze the fulfillment of socio-economic demands by looking into the contractual agreement between these parties, examining the partners` perception of the agreement itself, touching the role of the state and its agencies as mediators and issues such as culture and identity. The puzzle to be solved is whether, given the economic benefits out of the contractual agreement between partners, such partnerships can be considered a durable win-win situation. ····· 10361100813

Having no or only limited energy resources, most European countries are in need of oil and natural gas supplies. However, heavy demand for natural gas from Russia makes the majority of EU Member States absolutely dependent on Russian gas. This sometimes brings unfavorable consequences and drives the EU to search for such alternative sources as Central Asia. This book contains three interconnected chapters which study the partnership between the EU, Russia, and Central Asia and analyzes future perspectives for cooperation especially in the field of natural gas supply. Furthermore, the book reveals the benefits and obstacles deriving from the interests of each, thus creating a picture of possible collaboration between them.

The interest of the European Union to this region started in the early 1990s. With help of UN, OSCE, Council of Europe and NATO, as well as the Commonwealth of Independent States and GUAM, EU promoted two kinds of security in this region, such as external and internal security. External security is influenced by geopolitical rivalries and future relations with regional actors and internal security is threatened by political tensions and separatist conflicts.

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This study contrasts European and American strategies for building democracy abroad it is argued EU and US approaches differ not only ideologically but also politically. On one hand, the United States acts out of a genuine commitment to fostering civil society and democratic change from below, and European thinking tends to approach democracy promotion in terms of strengthening state capacity. On the other hand, the United States, being a political and economic superpower, can effectively employ negative strategies such as sanctions and negative conditionality, and the EU, as a civilian power, is capable of exerting normative influence, but lacks effective leverage in relations with third countries without a membership perspective. Both approaches can be complementary, but they are best suited for different collaboration partners and have varying impacts as well as contextual applicability. Both claims are supported by a detailed account of Western involvement in Ukraine`s Orange Revolution. ····· 10361100715

These groups include: The Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Wasat party, Tagammu, Wafd, Al-Ghad, and Karama. It examines groups across ideological, generational, legal, and Islamist and secular divides.
