This book investigates the relationship between international security governance, democratic civil-military relations and the relevance of strategy, as well as of absolute and relative gains, in norms formation in hybrid orders. Highlighting caveats of the legacy of Huntington’s paradigm of military professionalism, the book applies a robust methodology and data collected in four sample regions in Pakistan. It gauges the effects of international and local actors’ support in the Security Sector Reform domain and examines instances of civil-military interactions and military transition. The book also analyses determinants and strategies that can influence them to demonstrate the impact of global governance in norms diffusion, as well as of absolute and relative utility gains and incentives in normative change. The author generates a new theory pertaining to international organisations and actors as determinants of transformation processes and consequently sheds new light on the issue of global security governance, especially its impact on civil-military relations and democratisation in hybrid orders. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of global governance, civil-military relations, grand strategy and foreign policy as well as Asian politics, South Asian studies, peace, security and strategic studies, International Relations and political science in more general.
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - Methods, Research, grade: 1,3, University of Constance (Fachbereich Politik- und Verwaltungswissenschaft), course: Kulturelle und politische Grundlagen sozialen Kapitals im Vergleich, language: English, abstract: Switzerland is recognized for its high level of direct democracy, citizens having the chance to participate directly in the process of decision making of public policies, to intend law initiatives, to amend ordinary laws or the Constitution, to submit referendums. Switzerland enjoys a strong federalism, with high degrees of decentralization at each of three federal levels. A high degree of political decentralization can boost social capital. I intend in this Hausarbeit to observe if the level political decentralization in Switzerland is increasing the social capital, defined in terms of generalized trust, civic cooperation and social cohesiveness.

Environmentally Degradable Materials (EDPs) should replace petroleum-based plastics where recycling is not viable for logistic or labor cost reason. This book discusses the general background of obtaining such systems, compatibilization methodologies, control of the rate of degradation and final products after degradation, life time assessment, tox
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: Mittel- und Südamerika, Note: 1,3, Universität Konstanz (Fachbereich Politik und- Verwaltungswissenschhaft), Veranstaltung: Politische Systeme und öffentliche Politik in Lateinamerika im Vergleich, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: I would like in this Hausarbeit to demonstrate, with a background from Arend Lijphart`s arguments, stated in the book „Patterns of Democracy. Government Forms and Performance in Thirty-Six Countries“, if Brazil it is or not a consensualist democracy. Arend Lijphart considers that each system of government can receive one of the next attributes: majoritarian or consensualist. He gives ten opposite criteria, on two dimensions, on which can extend the two types of democracy (majoriatrian and consensualist). I intend to make a logical digest, searching each of this criterion on Brazil`s case. At the end, after considering all ten criteria, I will be able to say if Federative Republic of Brazil it`s a consensualist democracy or not.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, language: Romanian, abstract: În prezenta teză de licenţă voi prezenta perspectivele conflictului internaţional, a rezoluţiei sale şi a procesului de menţinere a păcii prin metoda negocierii internaţionale. Nu există nici o regulă generală care să indice de către cine ar trebui implementate mijloacele de menţinere a păcii. Atât forţa, cât şi raţionamentul reprezintă ultimul resort, o alternativă omniprezentă pentru stimularea instrumentelor multilaterale de "rezoluţie alternaţivă a conflictului" prin dialog, mediere, convingere şi negociere. Este imposibil de recomandat care dintre aceste metode şi tehnici ar trebui să fie utilizată prima; cea mai atrăgătoare perspectivă ar fi să fie testate - sau, cel puţin, evaluate - toate, pentru a putea fi consolidată una din ele. De asemenea, nu există o interclasare nici în privinţa agenţilor - aceştia pot fi constituiţi de Naţiunile Unite, organizaţii locale sau regionale sau coaliţii statale neoficiale. Oraganizaţiile locale sau regionale şi coaliţiile statale pot iniţia activitatea pentru acţiunile oficiale şi pot fi utile pentru stimularea birocraţiilor diplomatice lente către angrenajul propriu-zis. Atunci câns statele preiau procesul de menţinere a păcii, exercitând întâi iniţiative unilaterale şi abia apoi acumulând suport multilateral, organizaţiile de diferite tipuri joacă un rol important ca parte integrantă din procesul general. Atunci când eforturile sunt încununate de succes, atât statele cât şi organizaţiile locale sau regionale şi coaliţiile statale trebuie să rămână implicate, denotând fiecare un comportament efectiv. Procesul de menţinere a păcii este unul colectiv şi o chestiune cu o dinamică continuă.
