Intrusive Impartiality
Impartiality is a central norm in United Nations peace operations that has long been associated with passive monitoring of cease-fires and peace agreements. In the twenty-first century, however, its meaning has been stretched to allow for a range of forceful, intrusive, and ideologically prescriptive practices. In Intrusive Impartiality, Marion Laurence explains how these new ways of being "impartial" emerge, how they spread within and across missions, and how they become institutionalized across UN peace operations. In doing so, Laurence sheds light on controversial changes in peacekeeping practice and provides an innovative framework for studying authority and change in global governance.

A New Model of Political Reasoning
Why politics and international relations “seem” to be driven by power/strategies in some conditions but “seem” to be attached to values/beliefs in other situations? Based on findings in (political) psychology and international relations, the book builds a new political reasoning model: a two-layered motivation-heuristic complex. The model grasps the internal mechanism that drives the co-existent and dynamic relationship between material and ideational considerations in making political choices/phenomena diverse and evolving across situations and periods. Applied to the case of China and human rights, the model helps understand several questions that attract those who are interested in the topic: e.g., the roots and contents of strategic and conceptual factors that continuously influence China’s human rights idea/policies; if, why and how the strategy-ideational relationships in such idea/policies evolve across periods; and the role that China's national security condition and external pressure play during such evolving relationships.
Die Parteiidentifikation
Sabrina Jasmin Mayer geht in ihrem Buch der Frage nach, wie die Parteiidentifikation theorieadäquat gemessen werden kann. Nach einer Konzeptualisierung der Parteiidentifikation im Ansatz der sozialen Identität werden Messinstrumente aus der sozialpsychologischen Forschung zur Operationalisierung von positiven, negativen und mehrfachen Parteibindungen adaptiert. Mit den Daten zweier umfangreicher Studien erfolgt die Konstruktvalidierung der neuen Messinstrumente. Sie zeigt, dass es hohe Anteile multipler und negativer Bindungen im Elektorat gibt, die mit den Standardmaßen nicht erfasst werden können.
Western Media on Foreign Crisis
Inhaltsangabe:Der Studiengang International Media Studies wurde in Kooperation von der Deutschen Welle-Akademie, der Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg und der Universität Bonn eingeführt. Introduction: Motivation: As the Russia-Georgia war of 2008 started, I had just arrived in Germany. At the time, nobody ever really believed that military actions would ever take place between the two countries, though there was a lot of talk about the possibility. During the first days of the war, while in Germany, it was challenging to get information from the Georgian media. Later I learned of the hacker attacks on Georgian websites, and also that people in Georgia could not visit any Russian websites. I was ...
Journalism
This volume sets out the state-of-the-art in the discipline of journalism at a time in which the practice and profession of journalism is in serious flux. While journalism is still anchored to its history, change is infecting the field. The profession, and the scholars who study it, are reconceptualizing what journalism is in a time when journalists no longer monopolize the means for spreading the news. Here, journalism is explored as a social practice, as an institution, and as memory. The roles, epistemologies, and ethics of the field are evolving. With this in mind, the volume revisits classic theories of journalism, such as gatekeeping and agenda-setting, but also opens up new avenues of theorizing by broadening the scope of inquiry into an expanded journalism ecology, which now includes citizen journalism, documentaries, and lifestyle journalism, and by tapping the insights of other disciplines, such as geography, economics, and psychology. The volume is a go-to map of the field for students and scholars—highlighting emerging issues, enduring themes, revitalized theories, and fresh conceptualizations of journalism.
Global Norms with a Local Face
This book argues that global rule-of-law standards in post-conflict states are reshaped in interactive translation processes between external and domestic actors.
Handbuch Globale Kompetenz
Ziel des Handbuches ist es, den wissenschaftlichen Forschungsstand zum Thema ‚Globale Kompetenz‘ praxisorientiert darzustellen. Globale Kompetenz beschreibt die Fähigkeit einer Person, weltweit effektiv und positiv mit seinen Mitmenschen umgehen sowie Krisen und Herausforderungen bewältigen zu können. Global kompetente Personen sind offen gegenüber kulturellen Normen und akzeptieren hierdurch geprägte Erwartungen, zum Beispiel hinsichtlich der Sprache, Gestik, Verhaltens- und Umgangsformen, Höflichkeit und Werten. Die Themen orientieren sich an den drei Säulen der Globalen Kompetenz: Nachhaltigkeit, interkulturelle Kompetenz und soziale Verantwortung in einer multi- und interdisziplinären Perspektive aus Psychologie, Soziologie, Politikwissenschaft und den Wirtschaftswissenschaften.
