Dieses Buch ist der Friedensbewegung gewidmet. Damit meine ich aile jene Leute, MiUionen und AbermiUionen, in Ost und West, die wissen, daB sich ein Nuklearkrieg einfach nicht ereignen darf; die wissen, daB das Wettrusten nicht endlos weitergehen kann, ohne zu Krieg zu fiihren; die wissen, daB Ab- rustungskonferenzen das Wettriisten nicht beenden werden, und die dies deutlich sagen, die entsprechend handeln und verzweifelt nach einem Aus- weg suchen.

Through a rigorous critique of the dominant narrative of the Rwandan genocide, Collins provides an alternative argument to the debate situating the killings within a historically-specific context and drawing out a dynamic interplay between national and international actors.

Preliminary overview of the economies of Latin America and the Caribbean 2016
This publication highlights a regional slowdown in GDP growth. It argues that the currency depreciation seen in several countries in the region could, if sustained, increase incentives for investment in tradeable sectors other than the region's traditional exports (commodities), while redirecting expenditure to ease pressure on the current account. Growth-supporting industrial, trade, environmental, social and labour policies that take into account the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises...
Unions, Immigration, and Internationalization (Europe in Transition: The NYU European Studies)
by L. Haus
Labor unions in France and the U.S. opposed certain restrictionist immigration policy measures in the late twentieth century, whereas they had pressured for restrictionism in the early twentieth century. Leah Haus asks why unions changed coalitions. Haus argues that one needs to focus on the challenges of internationalization to explain this change. Many union leaders consider economic internationalization and/or the internationalization of human rights as undermining the effectiveness and/or de...
Pursuing Power
While Latinos in the US are becoming a large, significant and growing political constituency, the US has has become increasingly and rapidly Latinized in many cultural aspects. This work takes an in-depth look at the political aspects of this cultural and political browning of America.
Few future contenders for the American presidency are more enigmatic than US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. She is both regularly voted one of the most influential women in the world, and, in a poll taken well into her new post, the preferred dinner guest for men, ahead of a celebrity field including Angelina Jolie and Oprah Winfrey. Yet for a senior politician with such wide appeal, very little is known about her private life. Condoleezza Rice, who has remained unmarried, gave interviews...

Bringing Religion Into International Relations (Culture and Religion in International Relations)
This book has several main themes and arguments. International Relations has been westerncentric, which has contributed to its ignoring religion; while religion is not the main driving force behind IR, international politics cannot be understood without taking religion into account; the role of religion is related to the fact that IR has evolved to become more than just interstate relations and now included elements of domestic politics. The book proceeds in three stages. First, it looks at why...
