A World Without Conflict
Applying the CDE concept to conflict and post conflict states provides a means to achieve sustainable development and lasting peace. Conflict is a complex and prevalent theme within the scope of international relations. It is multifaceted and can be dependent on a variety of factors. These can simply boil down to an incompatibility of goals or can be as complicated as a long standing ethnic or religious disagreement. Conflict is largely characterized by the context in which it exists and colored by the unique political and historical features of a given nation-state. Conflict zones are then further convoluted by already existing attempts to resolve the conflict as well as the disposition of ...
A Universal Human Rights Model
One of the biggest issues in the world today is the violation of basic human rights. Across the globe, from Syria to Rwanda to Myanmar, millions of innocent people have been tortured, killed or persecuted for their beliefs or minority status. Ethnic cleansing and genocide have murdered millions more, and the widespread of denial of equal rights to women is still in the increase. Even in our own backyard, people are being subjected to torture and unlawful detention, and forced disappearance. No country in the world is unaffected by human rights abuse. But finally, we have a practical tool for solving the global human rights problem. It is this book, A Universal Human Rights Model. There are p...
Community Development Enterprise
The post Cold War period saw the emergence of armed conflicts, the transformation of the concept of international security and the deepening of economic inequality and social exclusion. The global community has been reformed through an international convergence of agendas on topics such as peace, security and development. Focus has been placed on individuals and communities with the evolution of concepts such as human security, a HRBA to development and the "responsibility to protect" norm. Evidence of such global phenomena can be identified through the observation of conflict trends in recent years. After nearly two decades of decline, the numbers of conflict have begun to increase. Researc...

Delta Democracy
"For decades, the United States has funded democracy promotion programs in the Middle East to little avail. Delta Democracy: Pathways to Incremental Civic Revolution in Egypt and Beyond argues that there is another way forward for US democracy aid. Drawing upon the author's ethnographic research on Egypt's nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, Delta Democracy uncovers the strategies that local NGOs used to incrementally build a more democratic and just society. As it takes the reader inside the walls of Egypt's NGOs, the book illuminates local activists' perspectives on democracy in Egypt and reveals how savvy organizations promoted it as they na...

Goldthwait, former US Ambassador With global climate change upon us, it is imperative to start thinking about the massive numbers of people who will be displaced by environmental crises.

Wennersten and Denise Robbins face the difficult questions that will have to be answered: How will people be relocated and settled? Is it possible to offer environmental refugees temporary or permanent asylum? Will ...
Middle East Transitions
Since the onset of the Arab Spring, economic uncertainty in Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Yemen (Arab Countries in Transition, ACTs) has slowed already sluggish growth; worsened unemployment, particularly of youth; undermined business confidence, affected tourist arrivals, and depressed domestic and foreign direct investment. Furthermore, political and social tensions have constrained reform efforts. Assessing policy options as presented in the voluminous literature on the Arab Spring and based on cross-country experience, this paper concludes that sustainable and inclusive growth calls for a two pronged approach: short term measures that revive growth momentum and partially allay popular concerns; complemented with efforts to adjust the public’s expectations and prepare the ground for structural reforms that will deliver the desired longer tem performance.
