Scholars and practitioners usually regard the nuclear non-proliferation regime as composed of two categories of countries – those with and those without nuclear weapons. The latter are regarded as the core designers of that regime, while the former have their prominence in shaping non-proliferation institutions eclipsed or ignored. This book proposes to go beyond that duality by focusing on a usually neglected group of states: latent nuclear countries. Those are the countries that possess advanced nuclear capabilities but no weapons. This book shows that latent nuclear countries not only participate actively in non-proliferation institutions but also promote the creation of new frameworks ...
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. This collection is the first on ex-extremists and combatants (Formers) in violence prevention work. While the engagement of Formers in violence prevention programs--especially in the context of countering and preventing violent extremism (P/CVE), and peacebuilding--has expanded across the world, their involvement has been controversial and contested. This volume captures a variety of work Formers are engaged in across a range of contexts, broadly divided into three ...
Trajectories of Governance studies the complex dynamics of order-making, violence and governance in peripheral cities in Latin America from a comparative, historical and multi-scalar approach. It aims to discover more about the drivers, contexts and uneven levels of violence through the case studies of Chalatenango and Sonsonate in El Salvador and Pereira and Tunja in Colombia. Based on a multidisciplinary analytical framework, it explains why and how some peripheral cities have become the locus of violent orders, whereas others have managed to control violence, and to examine the role of violence in the workings of local governance.
This book describes and explains the development of international parliamentary institutions and asks why international organizations establish parliamentary institutions without, however, granting them relevant decision-making powers.
Arruda fora, enquanto esteve de alguma forma no poder e na mídia, sem sombra de dúvida, na minha ótica, foi a personalidade mais controvérsia do cenário político brasileiro. Nem mesmo a grande raposa, Antônio Carlos Magalhães, vulgo (ACM) conseguiu ser mais sínico e contraditório. Entre as suas ações mais populares estão: Violação do painel do senado, o choro e a dissimulação - a (Mentira) em rede nacional. A propina recebida para caixa dois de campanha vista e revista na TV, com “requintes de crueldade,” pela exposição midiática exacerbada da Rede Globo, fato que o tornou a persona mais exposta da política brasileira no mundo todo, com isto piorou a imagem, já arru...
This book examines the interplay between sanctions and nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. The volume aims to tackle three separate but closely intertwined issues: It aims to revisit the debate on, and deconstruct the concept of, sanctions; to provide a working theoretical framework; to differentiate between positive sanctions (or incentives or carrots) and negative sanctions; to identify the actors who may initiate sanctions (i.e. states, regional, and/or international organizations); to ascertain the legality and legitimacy of such sanctions taking place; to problematize and discuss the utility of sanctions; and so on. It aims to disentangle the concepts of nuclear disarmament and n...
Ao explicitar a agenda da política pública dirigida ao enfrentamento da macrocriminalidade, Octahydes extrai a projeção normativa presente no Direito brasileiro das Convenções de Viena, de Mérida e de Palermo, cada qual com seus reflexos e (esperados) resultados internos. A abordagem dirige-se, pois, à política criminal irradiada desses compromissos assumidos pelo Estado brasileiro na seara internacional. Seguidamente, a pesquisa distingue temas que comumente são confundidos no momento de se pensar alternativas para seu enfrentamento: como se apresentam os vetores da política brasileira de enfrentamento de cada um desses componentes da macrocriminalidade e como esses vetores se relacionam tanto com o contexto sociopolítico quanto com a ausência de presença estatal em espaços de crise emergencial (como os presídios brasileiros)?
Banning nuclear weapons is an aspiration at the core of most disarmament and non-proliferation initiatives. It gained new momentum with the "Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons." The negotiation of that treaty, and its subsequent approval and entry into force, sheds light on the complexities and dissent surrounding diverse regional perspectives on the appropriate means and timing regarding the elimination of nuclear weapons and establishing a related global norm. Scholars from different academic backgrounds and epistemological standpoints jointly discuss these perspectives through lenses from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia. We seek to discuss how regional issues may shape global non-proliferation and disarmament politics, with a focus on the nuclearweapon-ban norm. This debate also reveals the broad trends and patterns organising and driving the current shifts in the global nuclear order, such as interrelations between regional and global institutions as well as domestic politics and decision-making.
