Leading scholars use critical case studies to shed light on new approaches used by international courts and experts to balance these two bodies of law. Divided into four thematic parts, chapters explore the protection of specific groups and actors during conflicts, including organised armed groups, armed non-state actors, and refugees, as well as using divergent methodological approaches to analyse the extra-territorial application of human rights treaties. Shifting to post-conflict, the book further examines the tools and practices involved in building lasting peace and sustainable post-conflict order while avoiding future resurrection of armed conflict. It concludes by considering whether the traditional interpretation of international law is still apt for the twenty-first century. Underlining the necessity of a more coherent application of international humanitarian law and human rights law, this incisive book will be invaluable to students and scholars from the two areas of law. Global in scope, it will also prove useful for humanitarian workers, and practitioners and policy makers involved in human rights law.}, language = {en} } @book{TaylorNanzTaylor2020, author = {Taylor, Charles and Nanz, Patrizia and Taylor, Madeleine Beaubien}, title = {Reconstructing democracy}, publisher = {Harvard University Press}, address = {Cambridge}, isbn = {978-0-674-24462-7}, pages = {107}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Across the world, democracies are suffering from a disconnect between the people and political elites. In communities where jobs and industry are scarce, many feel the government is incapable of understanding their needs or addressing their problems. The resulting frustration has fueled the success of destabilizing demagogues. To reverse this pattern and restore responsible government, we need to reinvigorate democracy at the local level. But what does that mean? Drawing on examples of successful community building in cities large and small, from a shrinking village in rural Austria to a neglected section of San Diego, Reconstructing Democracy makes a powerful case for re-engaging citizens. It highlights innovative grassroots projects and shows how local activists can form alliances and discover their own power to solve problems.}, language = {en} } @book{HummelLuttermann2020, author = {Hummel, Detlev and Luttermann, Claus}, title = {Eurasian Dynamics for Project Finance Development}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-947802-47-0}, pages = {43}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @book{Juchler2018, author = {Juchler, Ingo}, title = {Political Narrations}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-70753-2}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {123}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This book analyzes narrations embedded in political disputes, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of modern political reality. The author explores this theme in readings of the Sophocles tragedy Antigone, the Melian Dialogue of Thucydides, Heinrich von Kleist's novella Michael Kohlhaas, Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Grand Inquisitor and E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime novel, taking into account the relevant interdisciplinary aspects of the narratives. His study of these four narrations focuses on key political concepts, such as might and right, self-interest, legality and justice, the nation-state and democracy, and relates them compellingly to current actuality. Since narrations can exert comprehensive and lasting influence on individuals' political discernment, this systematic analysis allows for a better comprehension of politics in education and civics.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-40989, title = {Global Forest Governance and Climate Change}, series = {Palgrave Studies in Natural Resource Management}, journal = {Palgrave Studies in Natural Resource Management}, editor = {Nuesiri, Emmanuel O.}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-71945-0}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {322}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This edited collection assesses governance in forestry programmes and projects, including REDD+ governance. It examines political representation, participation and decentralisation in forest governance, providing insight as to how forest governance arrangements can be responsive to the socio-economic interests of local people and communities who live adjacent to and depend on forests. Global Forest Governance and Climate Change argues that inclusive complementary representation of local communities is required for strong participatory processes and democratic decentralisation of forest governance. Responsiveness to local people's socio-economic interests in forestry initiatives require paying attention to not just the hosting of participatory meetings and activities, but also to the full cast of appointed, self-authorized, and elected representative agents that stand, speak, and act for local people. This book will be of interest to students and academics across the fields of climate change governance, forestry, development studies, and political economy.
