Book Description
Der Forschungskreis Vereinte Nationen wurde 1999 als informelles Netzwerk für UN-Forschung gegründet mit dem Ziel, den Informationsaustausch unter den Wissenschaftlern der verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen und den Dialog mit den Praktikern zu fördern. Die regelmäßig stattfindenden Potsdamer UNO-Konferenzen des Forschungskreises Vereinte Nationen widmen sich der kritischen Analyse der UN-Forschung. Darüber hinaus bieten sie ein Forum für die Diskussion mit Politikern, UN-Mitarbeitern, Diplomaten und Journalisten über die Aufgaben der Vereinten Nationen und ihre Strukturen sowie über Konzepte zu ihrer Reform. Im vorliegenden Buch werden wichtige Referate der Potsdamer UNO-Konferenzen 2000 bis 2008 veröffentlicht, die sich unter anderem den Themenbereichen Friedenssicherung, Menschenrechtsschutz und Umweltschutz durch die Vereinten Nationen, der Reform der UN-Hauptorgane sowie der deutschen UN-Politik und der UN-Politik im Rahmen der Europäischen Union widmen, und die ergänzt werden durch Beiträge der beiden Herausgeber zu den Problemen und Perspektiven der UN-Forschung in Deutschland.

Book Description
The Law and Practice of the United Nations examines the law of the United Nations through an analysis of the Organization’s practice from its inception until the present, in particular to the transformations the UN has undergone since the end of the Cold War. Special consideration is given to Chapter VII of the UN Charter and its interpretation, the United Nations’ membership and organs’ competences, along with the peaceful settlement of disputes, and coercive action for the maintenance of international peace and security. In addition, this important new edition explores such areas as general and smart sanctions, peacekeeping, authorizations of the Security Council, territorial administrations, self-determination, human rights, financing of the Organization, acts adoptable by the UN organs, and a review of their legality. Offering a fully revised and updated analysis of the main legal issues surrounding the United Nations’ practice, The Law and Practice of the United Nations will be of interest to all those involved with legal issues surrounding the United Nations, the analysis of said issues, and their impacts on international practice

Book Description
The continuous social change and its dynamics also require a corresponding adaptability of the education system. Pluralisation, individualisation and digitisation in our living environments, increased demands and expectations of education, tendencies towards economisation (such as the "measurement and comparison" of education) as well as an increasing ecological awareness lead to changed framework conditions within a field of tension of the most diverse interests that the education system has to face. These and other aspects are examined and discussed in this monography by authors from 9 European countries, from different angles and with different perspectives. Der kontinuierliche, gesellschaftliche Wandel und seine Dynamik erfordern auch eine entsprechende Anpassungsfähigkeit des Bildungswesens. Die Pluralisierung, Individualisierung und Digitalisierung in unseren Lebenswelten, erhöhte Bildungsansprüche und -erwartungen, Ökonomisierungstendenzen sowie ein steigendes ökologisches Bewusstsein führen zu veränderten Rahmenbedingungen innerhalb eines Spannungsfeldes verschiedenster Interessen, denen sich das Bildungssystem stellen muss. Diese und weitere Aspekte werden in der vorliegenden Monographie von Autoren aus 9 europäischen Ländern, aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln und mit unterschiedlichen Perspektiven beleuchtet.

Book Description
How can we approach the complex United Nations system, a ‘family’of principal organs, subsidiary organs and specialized agencies? Where do we get summarizing information on the large number of reform concepts developed and implemented since the late 1990s, in particular in connection with the UN World Summit 2005? The present book provides orientation and information: It is the second updated English edition of the German "Lexikon der Vereinten Nationen". The book provides in addition to concise and comprehensive information on the UN system insight into recent UN developments and reform efforts in the face of global opportunities and challenges, such as the Millennium Summit 2000 and World Summit 2005, and the establishment of important new UN organs, the Human Rights Council and the Peacebuilding Commission, in 2006. The contributing authors are academic scholars of international law, economics and political sciences; active and former diplomats and UN officials; journalists and members of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and offer a variety of interesting perspectives. The entries are provided with bibliographies and with Internet addresses for further information and are supplemented in the annex by an informative text on the UN document numbering system and by a list of information facilities concerning the UN. This title was reviewed as „essential“ (highest category of recommendation) by Choice – Current Reviews for Academic Libraries in October 2010. 'A new edition of a mammoth, 900-page-plus encyclopedia covering every aspect of the United Nations and its work is now available in English in the United States... Among its many useful features are exhaustive lists of those bewildering UN acronyms, a key to decoding (and thus knowing how to look for) UN documents and a complete copy of the UN Charter. The easy-to-use alphabetical order of entries makes it easy for schoolchildren and adults to navigate.' Barbara Crossette in: The InterDependent, 4 October 2010 (www.theinterdependent.com). 'This multidirectional compass is extraordinarily well researched and written. It is a veritable research dream, without which no international collection could possibly be complete'. American Society of International Law, Newsletter of the UN21 Interest Group, January 2011 'This is an update... [of the 2002 edition], with articles contributed by a number of experts on the United Nations and international relations. Entries are either wholly updated or the original article is updated with a signed addendum, making the information current as of the end of 2008. Articles are very detailed and include copious references to other parts of the volume, indicated with an arrow. Most entries conclude with a bibliography of works useful for further research, many of which are extensive reviews of the literature on a particular topic in multiple languages. Entries range from overviews of the workings of the United Nations (including budget, membership rules, and organization) to more theoretical discussions of international law. ...[The book] will be indispensable for any research university with faculty in international relations or law. Summing Up: Essential. Graduate students and researchers/faculty. T. Miller, Michigan State University, Review in October 2010 in Choice – Current Reviews for Academic Libraries.'

Book Description
This book analyzes the achievements of the UN World Summit of September 2005 in the field of conflict prevention, human security, and the advancement of the security development nexus. The book examines the Summit Outcome Document, which contains important general endorsements of the objective to strengthen conflict prevention capacities at the UN and fully supports the mission of the Special Advisor of the Secretary General on the Prevention of Genocide. This document commits all Member States for the first time to develop a notion of "human security" that recognizes that all individuals, in particular vulnerable people, are entitled to freedom from fear and freedom from want. It embraces the concept of a "responsibility to protect" against genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. The book looks at how the newly established Peacebuilding Commission can play an important overall preventive role, in particular by ensuring that post-conflict countries do not relapse into armed conflict. It suggests the upcoming Comprehensive Report on Conflict Prevention by the UN Secretary General and a new General Assembly Resolution should operationalize and implement the shift from reaction to prevention. The United Nations for the 21st Century supports the call for a special summit meeting in 2010 on conflict prevention and human security with the objective to adopt a Global Action Plan on Conflict Prevention and Human Security, which should specify concrete agreements for allocating the resources necessary to bring peace planning, conflict prevention, and peacebuilding strategies to fruition.
