Die vorgestellte Untersuchung hat ihren Ursprung in der politikwissenschaft- chen Frage nach einer moglichen Verschiebung von input- zu outp- orientierten Legitimationskriterien. Wahrend bis vor einiger Zeit politische - gitimation vor allem uber die Partizipationsmoglichkeiten der Burgerinnen und Burger hergestellt werden konnte (input) und auch daran gemessen wurde, sind in neuerer Zeit auch Kriterien der effizienten Problemlosung massgebend (o- put; vgl. (Hurrelmann/Krell-Laluhova/Schneider 2005, Scharpf 1999). Als eine Moglichkeit zur Messung von output-orientierter Legitimation wurde wissenschaftliches Wissen definiert im Sinne von systematisch und - jektiv erhobener Information zur Eff...
Im Dezember 2001 wurde auf dem deutschen Petersberg ein ehrgeiziges Ziel gefasst: Afghanistan sollte befriedet, neu aufgebaut und demokratisiert werden. Doch zwischen dem Sturz der Taliban Ende 2001 und dem angekündigten Strategiewechsel des amerikanischen Präsidenten Obama im Dezember 2009 liegen rund acht erfolglose Jahre Krieg und Wiederaufbau am Hindukusch. Martina Meienberg analysiert, warum der politische Wiederaufbau in Afghanistan bisher in vielen Bereichen gescheitert ist. Die Untersuchung des Fallbeispiels zeigt, wie sich die Interventionen auf das Verhalten verschiedener Akteure, u.a. der Regierung Karzai, der Taliban und der Bundeswehrmitglieder, ausgewirkt haben.
Der Stellenwert von Experten, die Ereignisse in den Medien kommentieren und analysieren, wurde in den letzten Jahren immer wieder diskutiert: Greifen Journalisten heute stärker auf Expertenquellen zurück? Wie entstehen mediale Expertenfiguren und welche Interessen verfolgen sie bei Medienauftritten? Brigitte Huber hat zwei Tageszeitungen im Zeitraum 1995 bis 2010 analysiert. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf eine zunehmende Bedeutung von Expertenquellen hin. Auf Basis von Interviews mit Journalisten und Experten zeichnet die Autorin Etablierungsprozesse von medialen Expertenfiguren nach und identifiziert neben kommunikativen Fähigkeiten auch Netzwerke und Vertrauen als zentrale Komponente. Die Motive der Experten, in die Medienöffentlichkeit zu treten, sind heterogen und reichen von der Bereicherung des öffentlichen Diskurses bis hin zur Werbung für eigene Bücher, das eigene Unternehmen oder den Auftraggeber. Journalisten sind gefordert, diese Motive zu hinterfragen und dem Rezipienten transparent zu machen.

The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Israel addresses the need in the literature on Israel for a comprehensive impartial information source about the various diplomatic and political personalities, institutions, organizations, events, concepts, and documents that together define the political life of the Jewish state. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, government institutions, political parties, and battles, as well as entries on Israel's economy, society, and culture.
A keen analysis of the impact of European regionalism in the Mediterranean, focusing on the politics of representation and constructions of identity. The Mediterranean - as a region, as an area of EU policy and as a place on the fringe of a rapidly integrating Europe - has been a theoretically under-researched area. Containing empirical research on Greece, Malta and Morocco, this theory-led investigation into the political effects of the Mediterranean's symbolic geography, complements work done on the constitution of entities such as nations, Europe and the West. The Politics of Regional Identity draws on the field of critical IR and critical geopolitics to examine both the theoretical and empirical manifestations of these changing geopolitical images and discourses. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of politics, international relations and the European Union.
The European Union's (EU) Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) stipulates that all member states must unanimously ratify policy proposals through their representatives on the EU Council. Intergovernmentalism, or the need for equal agreement from all member nations, is used by many political scientists and policy analysts to study how the EU achieves its CFSP. However, in European Foreign and Security Policy, Catherine Gegout modifies this theory, arguing instead for analyses based on what she terms 'constrained intergovernmentalism.' Gegout's theory of constrained intergovernmentalism allows for member states, in particular France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, to bargain with one another and to make rational decisions but also takes into account the constraints imposed by the United States, the European Commission, and the precedents set by past decisions. Three in-depth case studies of CFSP decision-making support her argument, as she examines the EU position on China's human rights record, EU sanctions against Serbia, and EU relations with NATO.

In 1945, Germany experienced the greatest outburst of deadly violence that the world has ever seen. Germany 1945 examines the country's emergence from the most terrible catastrophe in modern history. When the Second World War ended, millions had been murdered; survivors had lost their families; cities and towns had been reduced to rubble and were littered with corpses. Yet people lived on, and began rebuilding their lives in the most inauspicious of circumstances. Bombing, military casualties, territorial loss, economic collapse and the processes of denazification gave Germans a deep sense of their own victimhood, which would become central to how they emerged from the trauma of total defeat, turned their backs on the Third Reich and its crimes, and focused on a transition to relative peace. Germany's return to humanity and prosperity is the hinge on which Europe's twentieth century turned. For years we have concentrated on how Europe slid into tyranny, violence, war and genocide; this book describes how humanity began to get back out.
