Beyond the examples above, this book presents us with in-depth analyses on several African countries which are seldom assessed when the topic is democracy and whose experiences vary on an axis that can be generalised and applied for other countries in the continent, since they happened in countries from different regions and with different backgrounds. Throughout the book, challenges and opportunities for democracy consolidation in Burkina Faso, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Rwanda and Zimbabwe are studied and invite the reader to promptly question conventional knowledge on the topic. In addition, the book also analyses the mechanisms and tools that the African Un...
La geopolitica, come disciplina, si è venuta qualificando in questo scorcio di secolo per la sua propensione ad inserirsi nel dibattito contemporaneo sui mutamenti strutturali e geografici degli Stati e sulle loro politiche, sull’allargamento dei confini mondiali, sulla globalizzazione, sull’ambiente e sull’economia del capitalismo finanziario. Basta per questo sondare gli aggiornamenti continui dei media sulle politiche mondiali e sul dialogo tra le nazioni, comprese le tensioni che conducono i vari Paesi del mondo a contrasti che sembrano insuperabili, come è il caso dell’affermazione graduale della democrazia politica in alcuni continenti come l’Africa. Questa disciplina, che ...

Il Rapporto della scienza con le condizioni geografiche dei vari Paesi rispecchia il tema delle risorse messe in campo per sostenere branche della ricerca, localizzando gli sforzi per ottimizzare al meglio i vari risultati, secondo i piani prestabiliti e in rapporto alle politiche di investimento. Ma il problema della allocazione delle risorse non è soltanto un problema politico e/o di strategia politica. È anche un problema di etica scientifica, laddove gli scienziati, che sono i diretti interessati, possono rappresentare una parte notevole di quel consenso che, a volte, non è questione scontata, e che, quindi, diviene il primo passo per l’attuazione di una certa politica della/nella r...

The human genetic make-up of Latin America is a reflection of successive waves of colonization and immigration. There have been few works dealing with the biology of human populations at a continental scale, and while much data is available on the genetics of Latin American populations, most information remains scattered throughout the literature. This volume examines Latin American human populations in relation to their origins, environment, history, demography and genetics, drawing on aspects of nutrition, physiology, and morphology for an integrated and multidisciplinary approach. The result is a fascinating account of a people characterized by a turbulent history, marked heterogeneity, and unique genetic traits.

"This study investigates US, UK and German news media coverage of a range of cases that involved human rights violations during military operations including Kosovo, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Egypt. It will be demonstrated that 'humanitarian intervention' and R2P are evoked in the news media if so called 'enemy' countries of Western states conduct human rights violations. The Western news media shows far less concern for human rights violations if they are conducted by Western states and their 'allies'. The news media is supposed to scrutinize governments particularly during times of war. Yet, this study demonstrates that the news media plays a crucial role in facilitating a selective process of shaming during the build-up towards military interventions. This process has led to an erosion of internationally agreed norms of non-intervention, as enshrined in the UN Charter".--Provided by publisher.
This book presents the main features of the Israeli constitutional system and a topical discussion of Israel's basic laws. It focuses on constitutional history and the peculiar decision to frame a constitution 'by stages'. Following its British heritage and the lack of a formal constitution, Israel's democracy grew for more than four decades on the principle of parliamentary supremacy. Introducing a constitutional model and the concept of judicial review of laws, the 'constitutional revolution' of the 1990s started a new era in Israel's constitutional history. The book's main themes include: constitutional principles; the legislature and the electoral system; the executive; the protection of fundamental rights and the crucial role of the Supreme Court in Israel's constitutional discourse. It further presents Israel's unique aspects as a Jewish and democratic state, and its ongoing search for the right balance between human rights and national security. Finally, the book offers a critical discussion of the development of Israel's constitution and local projects aimed at enacting a single and comprehensive text.
