Security Council Sanctions Governance
Little is known about how far-reaching decisions in UN Security Council sanctions committees are made. Developing a novel committee governance concept and using examples drawn from sanctions imposed on Iraq, Al-Qaida, Congo, Sudan and Iran, this book shows that Council members tend to follow the will of the powerful, whereas sanctions committee members often decide according to the rules. This is surprising since both Council and committees are staffed by the same member states. Offering a fascinating account of Security Council micro-politics and decision-making processes on sanctions, this rigorous comparative and theory-driven analysis treats the Council and its sanctions committees as di...
De Gruyter Handbook of Sustainable Development and Finance
Beginning with an exploration of the origins and evolution of sustainable development and finance, this book continues with sections on public and private sector finance and investment for sustainable development, climate finance, and the emerging ‘blue’ economy. A concluding chapter incorporates the recommendations for sustainable finance going forward in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and escalating global environmental crisis.
Inside the Un Security Council
UN Security Council decisions impact billions of people and yet its formal rules are minimal and tell us little about how decisions are made. Instead, informal, and often unwritten practices, form the basis of negotiations. Inside the UN Security Council analyses informal practices within Security Council decision-making, both in general and focused on the case of Darfur in the west of Sudan, to pull back the curtain on decision-making. Security Council negotiations on Darfur are analyzed in depth across issue areas of agenda-setting, sanctions, referral to the International Criminal Court, and peacekeeping. One way of understanding these informal practices is via the lens of legitimation. T...
The Law of the List
Governing though the technology of the list is transforming international law, global security and the power of international organisations.
Reproducing in an African City Today
Sub-Saharan Africa is considered the last region in the world where women still give birth to presumably too many children. However, within large cities such as Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, the average number of children per woman varies greatly. What is extraordinary, as this book shows, is that childbearing is a social action. Parenting allows one to consider different action alternatives, or rather, opportunities to act. These actions are not the same for everyone in different contexts. The book highlights that macro level socio- demographic changes, namely intraurban reproductive disparities are brought up by micro level (individual) actions.
Hybride Events
Schnippeldiskos, Kopfhörerpartys, BarCamps, Star Wars-Gottesdienste: Als Hybride Events bezeichnen wir solche inszenierten Ereignisse, die aus augenfälligen Kombinationen mindestens zweier Arten von Ereignissen bestehen, die als verschiedenen kulturellen Bereichen zugehörig angesehen werden (z.B. Fest und Feier, Ernst und Spaß, Information und Unterhaltung, Action und Comedy, Wissenschaft und Sport usw.). In dem Band untersuchen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher geisteswissenschaftlicher Disziplinen Fallbeispiele solcher Ereignisse, versuchen diese theoretisch zu fassen und gesellschaftsdiagnostisch auszuwerten.
Routledge Handbook of International Organization
This Handbook brings together scholars whose essays discuss significant issues with regard to international organization as a process and international organizations as institutions.

The state-of-the-art articles are meant to encourage current and future generations of scholars to enjoy working in and further exploiting the field and are also of great interest to practitioners of international organization and global governance
Hamburg - HafenCity und das Recht auf Stadt
Städte stehen im Mittelpunkt unseres Lebens und sind Schmelztiegel von Kulturen. Rund 2/3 der deutschen Bevölkerung lebt im urbanen Raum und noch mehr haben ihren Arbeitsplatz in diesen. Aber wem gebührt das Recht an eben jenem intensiv genutzten Raum und welchen Planungs- und Entwicklungsparadigmen unterliegt dieser? Nach einem einführenden Versuch der Abgrenzung des ruralen vom urbanen Raum auf Basis der Anwendung eines statistisch-administrativen Stadtbegriffs, einer soziologischen Betrachtungsweise und einer Bestimmung auf Grundlage von Interdependenzen folgt eine Herausarbeitung des „Recht[s] auf Stadt“. Hierbei rücken die als weitere Rechte interpretierbaren Forderungen nach d...
Raumbezogene qualitative Sozialforschung
Die AutorInnen aus der Humangeographie und Soziologie leisten einen Beitrag zur raumbezogenen qualitativen Sozialforschung, indem sie in kritischer Reflexion auf den spatial turn die soziale Welt erforschen und interpretieren. Einer schlagwortartig vorgebrachten Renaissance des Raumes in den Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften werden konkrete qualitativ-empirische und theoretisch-konzeptionelle Arbeiten gegenübergestellt, die einen eigenständigen, raumreflektierten Zugang zur Thematik bieten. Die AutorInnen verfolgen zwei Ziele: Zum einen geht es um die Überwindung von „just-do-it“-Ansätzen in der (raumbezogenen) Methodologie. Zum anderen wird deutlich, dass eine eingehende methodologis...
