Unpacking the major debates, this Oxford Handbook brings together leading authors of the field to provide a state-of-the-art guide to governance in areas of limited statehood where state authorities lack the capacity to implement and enforce central decision and/or to uphold the monopoly over the means of violence. While areas of limited statehood can be found everywhere - not just in the global South -, they are neither ungoverned nor ungovernable. Rather, a variety of actors maintain public order and safety, as well as provide public goods and services. While external state 'governors' and their interventions in the global South have received special scholarly attention, various non-state actors - from NGOs to business to violent armed groups - have emerged that also engage in governance. This evidence holds for diverse policy fields and historical cases. The Handbook gives a comprehensive picture of the varieties of governance in areas of limited statehood from interdisciplinary perspectives including political science, geography, history, law, and economics. 29 chapters review the academic scholarship and explore the conditions of effective and legitimate governance in areas of limited statehood, as well as its implications for world politics in the twenty-first century. The authors examine theoretical and methodological approaches as well as historical and spatial dimensions of areas of limited statehood, and deal with the various governors as well as their modes of governance. They cover a variety of issue areas and explore the implications for the international legal order, for normative theory, and for policies toward areas of limited statehood.

This book collects Thomas Risse's most important articles together in a single volume. Covering a wide range of issues – the end of the Cold War, transatlantic relations, the "democratic peace," human rights, governance in areas of limited statehood, Europeanization, European identity and public spheres, most recently comparative regionalism – it is testament to the breadth and excellence of this highly respected International Relations scholar's work. The collection is organized thematically – domestic politics and international relations, international sources of domestic change, and the diffusion of ideas and institutions – and a brand new introductory essay provides additional coherence. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of International Relations, European Politics, and Comparative Politics.

This book provides practical information about web archives, offers inspiring examples for web archivists, raises new challenges, and shares recent research results about access methods to explore information from the past preserved by web archives. The book is structured in six parts. Part 1 advocates for the importance of web archives to preserve our collective memory in the digital era, demonstrates the problem of web ephemera and shows how web archiving activities have been trying to address this challenge. Part 2 then focuses on different strategies for selecting web content to be preserved and on the media types that different web archives host. It provides an overview of efforts to address the preservation of web content as well as smaller-scale but high-quality collections of social media or audiovisual content. Next, Part 3 presents examples of initiatives to improve access to archived web information and provides an overview of access mechanisms for web archives designed to be used by humans or automatically accessed by machines. Part 4 presents research use cases for web archives. It also discusses how to engage more researchers in exploiting web archives and provides inspiring research studies performed using the exploration of web archives. Subsequently, Part 5 demonstrates that web archives should become crucial infrastructures for modern connected societies. It makes the case for developing web archives as research infrastructures and presents several inspiring examples of added-value services built on web archives. Lastly, Part 6 reflects on the evolution of the web and the sustainability of web archiving activities. It debates the requirements and challenges for web archives if they are to assume the responsibility of being societal infrastructures that enable the preservation of memory. This book targets academics and advanced professionals in a broad range of research areas such as digital humanities, social sciences, history, media studies and information or computer science. It also aims to fill the need for a scholarly overview to support lecturers who would like to introduce web archiving into their courses by offering an initial reference for students.

Eine Programmiersprache ist ein Notationssystem, in dem Anweisungen für eine Rechenanlage formuliert werden können. Sie ist aber gleichermaßen auch ein Werkzeug zur Beschreibung von Problemen und deren Lösungswegen. Deshalb hat eine neue Programmiersprache immer dann ihre Berechtigung, wenn sie im Vergleich zum Bestehenden neue, mächtigere Konzepte und adäquatere Abstraktionsmittel anbietet, die das Lösen von Problemen erleichtern und es erlauben, Lösungen verständlicher darzustellen. In den nächsten Kapiteln werden wir die Elemente der Programmiersprache Modula-2 (MODUlar programming LAnguage; im folgenden werden wir Modula synonym mit Modula-2 verwenden) im einzelnen vorstellen und den Umgang mit ihnen an vielen Beispielen vorführen. Im folgenden aber sei für den jenigen, der bereits Erfahrung mit Programmieren hat, dargelegt, was Modula-2 gegenüber Pascal beispielsweise an Neuem zu bieten hat. Das wichtigste neue Abstraktionsmittel der Programmiersprache Modula-2 ist ihr Modulkonzept. Mit ihm lassen sich Programme in überschaubare und voneinander weitgehend unabhängige Teile - in sogenannte Moduln - gliedern, deren Aufspaltung in Definitions- und Implementationsteil (Definitionsmodul und Implementationsmodul) ein separates Übersetzen ermöglicht. Diese Moduln können in einer Programmbi bliothek abgelegt werden. In ihrem Definitionsteil wird von den Details der Real isierung der Modulfunktion abstrahiert. Er beschreibt, was das Modul leistet, nicht wie.

From Commitment to Compliance

The Persistent Power of Human Rights

In exploring the special nature of alliances among democracies, the author argues that the West European and Canadian allies exerted greater influence on American foreign policy during the Cold War than most analysts assume. This book's findings evaluate the post-Cold War's transatlantic security community and its survival.

This book celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by showing how global human rights norms have influenced national government practices in eleven different countries around the world. Had the principles articulated in the Declaration had any effect on the behavior of states towards their citizens? What are the conditions under which international human rights norms are internalized in domestic practices? And what can we learn from this case about why, how, and under what conditions international norms in general influence the actions of states? This book draws on the work of social constructivists to examine these important issues. The contributors examine eleven countries representing five different world regions - Northern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe - drawing practical lessons for activists and policy makers concerned with preserving and extending the human rights gains made during the past fifty years.

International Norms and Domestic Change

The Power of Human Rights

"Areas of limited statehood are ubiquitous. Most states in the contemporary international system contain areas in which states are too weak to set and enforce rules and/or lack the monopoly of the use of force. The modern ("Western") nation-state with full control over its territory and sufficient capacity to enforce the law is the exception rather than the rule. At the same time, areas of limited statehood are neither ungoverned nor ungovernable. Some actors always engage in governance. Rebels, "traditional" authorities, companies, (I)NGOs and foreign governments seek to make rules and provide collective goods and services, such as security, human rights and the rule of law, democracy, health, education, food security, and others. Three drivers, alone or in combination, explain effective "governance under anarchy": First, the governing actors and institutions must enjoy legitimacy and social acceptance. Second, governance institutions have to be "fit for purpose," adequately resourced, as well as inclusive, fair, and transparent. Third, social trust relations among citizens and within local communities are crucial in enabling collective action capacity "under anarchy.""--
