Der israelisch-palästinensische Konflikt
Sah es nach dem Abkommen von Oslo Mitte der 90er Jahre fur einige Zeit so aus, als stunde der israelisch-palastinensische Konflikt vor seiner Losung, so ist diese Hoffnung in den vergangenen zwei Jahren weitgehend geschwunden. Nahezu taglich berichten Presse und Fernsehen von Selbstmordanschlagen radikaler Palastinenser und israelischen Vergeltungsaktionen in den besetzten Gebieten. Der aFriedensprozesso scheint unwiederbringlich zu Ende, neue Losungsansatze sind nicht zu erkennen. Der Band versucht, Hintergrunde und Zusammenhange in diesem oft unubersichtlichen Konflikt zu erhellen. Mit Beitragen von M. Asseburg, N. Bubis, S. Dorsch, Z. Elpeleg, A. Frangi, S. Hofmann, M. Junker, A. Martiny, S. Maul, E. Ottolenghi, A. Primor, A. Timm, P. Weyland, S. Witte, M. Zimmermann. (Franz Steiner 2003)
Professional Education for International Organizations
What does it take to work for an international organization and to succeed there? How can universities prepare their students for a career in international organizations? Answers to these questions come from in-depth studies at selected international organizations (EU, OSCE, ESA, UNEP, World Bank) and a comparative survey of degree programs and professional schools in the United States and Europe. The results are of interest to human resources managers at international organizations, faculty and program managers at institutions of higher education, and last but not least to students who aim for a career in international public service.

Transatlantic Perspectives on Security Imperatives
The third volume of the Transatlantic Public Policy Series contains papers prepared by members of the Transatlantic Policy Consortium (TPC), representing American and European universities and institutions. The 13 contributions focus on the future of NATO, the possibilities of transatlantic cooperation in the Middle East problems, and the challenges to human security. The collection serves as an illustration of the state of the debate on security problems in transatlantic relations at this specific time. It will contribute to greater synergies of thinking and studies of global security pursued in American and European institutions.
Eric Voegelin on China and Universal Humanity
Eric Voegelin on China and Universal Humanity: A Study of Voegelin’s Hermeneutic Empirical Paradigm aims to speak to comparative political theorists, philosophers, historians, sinologists, and anyone interested in understanding our current disorders and exploring a culturally non-specific paradigm for understanding equivalent practices and patterns in the global age, especially China and the West. Specifically, this book looks at Eric Voegelin’s (1901–1985) Theory of Order. It focuses on Voegelin’s interpretation of order/disorder, his penetration of the Tianxia (the Chinese Ecumene), and his comparison of two representative heterogenous Ecumenes in the ancient West and East. In doing so, the book explores the issue of universal humankind and the nature of order-searching.
