This book is about France's security policy during François Mitterand's presidency which was dominated by the end of the Cold War and the German unification. The author examines the successive layers of French security policy and analyses its nature, essence and success. The focus of the book is on France's independence in security matters and the role of France in European security policy.
While both public opinion and scholars around the world are currently pointing out the danger of increasingly popular life-logging devices, this book articulates this debate by distinguishing between automatic and manual life-logging approaches. Since new definitions of life-logging have excluded the latter approach and have been mainly focused on effortless life-logging technologies such as Google Glass and Quantified Self applications in general, this book theoretically frames life-stowing. Through extensive etymological research, this book defines life-stowing as a manual and effortful practice conducted by life-stowers, individuals who devote their life to sampling reality in predefined frameworks. Also as part of this book, an historical overview introduces life-stowers and distinguishes between Apollonian and Dionysian varieties of these practitioners. Lastly, in order to understand the future reception of lifestowing, particularly in relation to digital media, this book discloses the author’s ongoing life-stowing project to a small audience.
The essays in this collection cover not only multiple countries, but also multiple aspects of the concept of neutrality: political, economic, cultural and legal. These case studies have led to a re-evaluation of the notion of neutrality, and the role of neutrals, during the First World War, making this collection of great value to all scholars of neutrality, the history of individual neutral countries, and of the war itself.

Seit 2003 hat die EU insgesamt 23 Operationen und Missionen auf drei Kontinenten durchgeführt - mit breiten Angeboten für den Aufbau staatlicher Institutionen. Die EU hat vor allem in der Praxis den zivil-militärischen Ansatz der Krisenbewältigung - insbesondere im Zusammenwirken mit der UNO, der NATO, der OSZE und der Afrikanischen Union - umfassend ausgebaut. Dieses Buch setzt sich vor allem zum Ziel, ausgehend von der Entstehungsgeschichte und den Konzepten für eine europäische Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik, die wesentlichen Akteure in diesem Bereich darzustellen, bevor der Schwerpunkt der Analyse auf die EU, deren Krisenbewältigung sowie auf den zivil-militärischen Ansatz des EU-Krisenmanagements gelenkt wird. Dieses komplexe und in der Öffentlichkeit weniger bekannte Themengebiet soll hiermit auch einer interessierten Leserschaft zugänglich gemacht werden.

From the beginning of 2000 the European accession process was placed at the centre of peace-building in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The prospect of EU membership provided a common vision that encouraged different segments of society and the political elites to bridge ethnic divergences and engage in authentic post-war reconciliation. As pre-accession criterion the European Union required Bosnia and Herzegovina to unify its fragmented policing system at the level of the state. This requirement proved, however, to be a step too far, resulting in a protracted and ultimately unsuccessful process of political negotiations that lasted from 2004 to 2007. The European Unionś insistence on placing law enforcement authority at the state level came to be viewed as an identity threat, which affected interethnic group dynamics in a negative way. From this premise, this study assesses the impact of the negotiating process on the political discourse in Bosnia and Herzegovina and on public notions of societal security and illustrates the background and rationale of the European Unionś strategy.
