Individual Agency and Policy Change at the United Nations

Individual Agency and Policy Change at the United Nations

Ingvild Bode

Taylor Francis Ltd
2021
nidottu
This book highlights how temporary international civil servants play a crucial role in initiating processes of legal and institutional change in the United Nations system. These individuals are the “missing” creative elements needed to fully understand the emergence and initial spread of UN ideas such as human development, sovereignty as responsibility, and multifunctional peacekeeping. The book:Shows that that temporary UN officials are an actor category which is empirically crucial, yet usually neglected in analytical studies of the UN system. Focussing on these particular individual actors therefore allows for a better understanding of complex UN decision-making. Demonstrates how these civil servants matter, looking at what their agency is based on. Offering a new and distinctive model, Bode seeks to move towards a comprehensive conceptualisation of individual agency, which is currently conspicuous for its absence in many theoretical approaches that address policy changeUses three key case studies of international civil servants (Francis Deng, Mahbub ul Haq and Marrack Goulding) to explore the possibilities of this specific group of UN individuals to act as agents of change and thereby test the prevailing notion that international bureaucrats can only act as agents of the status quo.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of international organizations and the United Nations.

Autonomous Weapons Systems and International Norms

Autonomous Weapons Systems and International Norms

Ingvild Bode; Hendrik Huelss

McGill-Queen's University Press
2022
sidottu
Autonomous weapons systems seem to be on the path to becoming accepted technologies of warfare. The weaponization of artificial intelligence raises questions about whether human beings will maintain control of the use of force. The notion of meaningful human control has become a focus of international debate on lethal autonomous weapons systems among members of the United Nations: many states have diverging ideas about various complex forms of human-machine interaction and the point at which human control stops being meaningful.In Autonomous Weapons Systems and International Norms Ingvild Bode and Hendrik Huelss present an innovative study of how testing, developing, and using weapons systems with autonomous features shapes ethical and legal norms, and how standards manifest and change in practice. Autonomous weapons systems are not a matter for the distant future – some autonomous features, such as in air defence systems, have been in use for decades. They have already incrementally changed use-of-force norms by setting emerging standards for what counts as meaningful human control. As UN discussions drag on with minimal progress, the trend towards autonomizing weapons systems continues.A thought-provoking and urgent book, Autonomous Weapons Systems and International Norms provides an in-depth analysis of the normative repercussions of weaponizing artificial intelligence.

sidottu
Strikk nydelege klede som kan vare i generasjonar! Ingvild Grane har i mange år delt strikkeglede i ein uvanleg delikat fargepalett på instakontoen @skaperrom. No har ho laga si alle første strikkebok. Her får du klassiske og enkle oppskrifter til baby, barn og dame, alt frå kvardagsgenserar, sokkar og luer til festfin kardigan og genseren for dei vakraste sommarkveldane. Ingvild Grane synest ikkje strikkeoppskrifter skal vera så avanserte. Hennar erfaring etter årevis med strikking, er at ho vender tilbake til dei enkle oppskriftene. Dei strikkar ho gjerne gong på gong i ulike fargar, strukturar og garnkvalitetar. I staden for å gje deg avansert strikk har ho difor fylt boka med elegante og funksjonelle plagg som kan strikkast på nytt og på nytt i mange år framover, og som har eit så klassisk snitt at dei kan gå i arv. Dette er ei bok for deg som strikkar masse, for deg som strikkar litt, og for deg som ikkje strikkar, men som har veldig lyst til å starte. Ingvild Grane (f. 1982) kjem frå Naustdal og er busett på Nesodden. Ho er mellom anna utdanna journalist. På dagtid jobbar Grane i Fabel, og på kveldstid lagar ho strikkeoppskrifter og strikkar til seg sjølv og dei ho har kjær. Ho er kjend for instakontoen @skaperrom.

Clothes and Monasticism in Ancient Christian Egypt

Clothes and Monasticism in Ancient Christian Egypt

Ingvild Saelid Gilhus

Routledge
2021
sidottu
This book is an exploration of the ideals and values of the ascetic and monastic life, as expressed through clothes. Clothes are often seen as an extension of us as humans, a determinant of who we are and how we experience and interact with the world. In this way, they can play a significant role in the embodied and material aspects of religious practice. The focus of this book is on clothing and garments among ancient monastics and ascetics in Egypt, but with a broader outlook to the general meaning and function of clothes in religion. The garments of the Egyptian ascetics and monastics are important because they belong to a period of transition in the history of Christianity and very much represent this way of living. This study combines a cognitive perspective on clothes with an attempt to grasp the embodied experiences of being clothed, as well as viewing clothes as potential actors. Using sources such as travelogues, biographies, letters, contracts, images, and garments from monastic burials, the role of clothes is brought into conversation with material religion more generally. This unique study builds links between ancient and contemporary uses of religious clothing. It will, therefore, be of interest to any scholar of religious studies, religious history, religion in antiquity, and material religion.

Laughing Gods, Weeping Virgins

Laughing Gods, Weeping Virgins

Ingvild Saelid Gilhus

Routledge
1997
sidottu
Laughing Gods, Weeping Virgins analyses how laughter has been used as a symbol in myths, rituals and festivals of Western religions, and has thus been inscribed in religious discourse. The Mesopotamian Anu, the Israelite Jahweh, the Greek Dionysos, the Gnostic Christ and the late modern Jesus were all laughing gods. Through their laughter, gods prove both their superiority and their proximity to humans.In this comprehensive study, Professor Gilhus examines the relationship between corporeal human laughter and spiritual divine laughter from c`ussical antiquity, to the Christian West and the modern era. She combines the study of the history of religion with social-scientific approaches, to provide an original and pertinent exploration of a universal human phenomenon, and its significance for the development of religions.

Beautifully told with humor and tenderness, a Norwegian Christmas tale of sisterhood and financial struggles, far-off dreams and tough reality, acclaimed by reviewers and beloved by readers across Europe, where it has been a major bestsellerChristmas is just around the corner, and Ronja and Melissa's dreamer of a father is out of work again. When ten-year-old Ronja hears about a job at a Christmas tree stand near where the family lives in central Oslo, she excitedly tells her dad. Soon, the fridge fills with food, and their father comes back home with red cheeks and a smile on his face. But one evening he disappears into the night under the pretense of buying Christmas gifts--and the daughters know he has gone to his favorite local pub, Stargate, and they come to terms with the fact that he may soon lose his wonderful new job. Melissa decides to take his place at the Christmas tree stand, working before and after school in the December afternoon dark, and bringing little Ronja with her, who quickly charms all the middle-class customers. On rare breaks the sisters dream of a brighter place of kindness and plenty, and find help from some of those around them--but both understand that their family structure is a precarious one, and that they are going to need luck and strength to transcend their circumstances. Imaginatively told, evoking the delight, misunderstandings, and innocence of a child's voice, Brightly Shining is small in stature but with an outsize impact on the reader, and has all the markings of a modern classic.
