Political Ethics and The United Nations
Based on a wealth of sources, files and interviews, and including previously unpublished material, this book explores the foundations of the political ethics of Dag Hammarskjöld, the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, examining how they influenced his actions in several key crisis situations. Hammarskjöld’s political innovations, such as the creation of peacekeeping forces, the use of private diplomacy and the concept of the international civil service, were bold attempts at translating the aims and principles of the UN charter into concrete thought and action. Kofi Annan described Hammarskjöld’s approach as a useful guideline to dealing with the problems of a globalized world. Offering a topical perspective on a subject that has not recently been explored, this book analyzes Hammarskjöld’s successes and failures in a way which offers insights into contemporary problems, and in doing so provides a significant and original contribution to UN studies. Political Ethics and The United Nations will be of interest to students of the United Nations, peace studies, and international relations in general.

A History of International Political Theory
Contemporary theory of international politics faces a twofold problem: the critical engagement with legacies of national power politics in connection to 20th Century International Relations and the regeneration of notions of humanity. This book contributes to this engagement by a genealogy of thoughts on war, peace, and ethics.
Report of the Dag Hammarskjöld Symposium on Respecting International Law and International Institutions
What does it mean to be an American, and what can America be today? Philosopher-journalist Lévy spent a year traveling in the footsteps of Alexis de Tocqueville. The result is a fresh look at a country we sometimes only think we know. From Rikers Island to Chicago mega-churches, from Muslim communities in Detroit to an Amish enclave in Iowa, Lévy investigates issues at the heart of our democracy: the nature of American patriotism, the coexistence of freedom and religion (including the religion of baseball), the prison system, the health of our political institutions, and much more. Both the grandeur and the hellish dimensions of American life are unflinchingly explored. At a time when Americans are anxious about how the world perceives them and, indeed, keen to make sense of themselves, a brilliant and sympathetic foreign observer has arrived to help us begin a new conversation about the meaning of America.--From publisher description.
Dag Hammarskjöld (1905-1961)
Dag Hammarskjöld war auf einer Friedensmission auf dem Weg in den Kongo, als sein Flugzeug unter bis heute ungeklärten Umständen am 18. September 1961 im damaligen Nordrhodesien abstürzte. Noch im selben Jahr wurde ihm posthum der Friedensnobelpreis verliehen. 50 Jahre danach erinnern die Essays dieses Bandes an die Pionierrolle Hammarskjölds, der wie kein anderer Generalsekretär die Aufgaben der Vereinten Nationen und die Rolle des Generalsekretärs prägte und gestaltete. Anlässlich der Suezkrise 1956 schuf er das bis heute gültige Konzept der UNO-Friedenstruppen. Er setzte auf Dialog und Diplomatie, ohne bei seinen Verhandlungen prinzipielle Werte preiszugeben. Einer Vereinnahmung...
Zeichen am Weg
Der Tod Dag Hammarskjölds am 17. September 1961 erschütterte die Welt. Warum seine UN-Sondermaschine über dem Kongo abstürzte, ist bis heute ungeklärt. Dass die Welt ihn danach nicht nur als Diplomaten sehen lernte, sondern auch als religiösen Philosophen und Dichter, ist auf das tagebuchartige Manuskript 'Vägmärken' (Wegzeichen) zurückzuführen, das er hinterließ.
