Schutzverantwortung auf dem Spiel

In Syrien wurde bisher keine vom Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen genehmigte humanit re Intervention eingeleitet. Versuche, einen Waffenstillstand zwischen den beteiligten Parteien zu erreichen, sind wiederholt gescheitert. In dieser Studie werden drei internationale Akteure im Hinblick auf ihre Haltung zur R2P-Doktrin (Responsibility to Protect) untersucht. Insbesondere wird die Option untersucht, die Verantwortung f r humanit re Interventionen zu institutionalisieren. Zu diesem Zweck wird die R2P-Doktrin anhand von zwei internationalen Organisationen, der NATO und der EU, und einem wichtigen nationalen Akteur, den Vereinigten Staaten, analysiert. F r die USA spielen geopolitische Faktoren eine gro e Rolle, und es wird erl utert, dass die politische Struktur und die Entscheidungen des Pr sidenten f r die Entscheidungen des Landes entscheidend sind. F r die NATO spielt der Mangel an Legitimit t eine zentrale Rolle, wenn es um R2P geht, zusammen mit dem historischen Pr zedenzfall ihrer Beteiligung am Konflikt in Libyen 2011. Schlie lich wird die EU beschrieben, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den institutionellen Beschr nkungen und ihrem Potenzial liegt, eine normative Autorit t f r R2P zu werden. Durch die Analyse dieser internationalen Akteure wird der Versuch unternommen, den Syrienkonflikt in eine breite internationale Perspektive zu stellen.

En Syrie, aucune intervention humanitaire autoris e par le Conseil de s curit des Nations unies n'a t lanc e jusqu' pr sent. Les tentatives de cessez-le-feu entre les parties impliqu es ont chou plusieurs reprises. Cette tude examine le bilan de trois acteurs internationaux en ce qui concerne la doctrine de la responsabilit de prot ger (R2P). Plus pr cis ment, elle examine l'option consistant institutionnaliser la responsabilit en mati re d'intervention humanitaire. Pour ce faire, la doctrine de la responsabilit de prot ger est analys e travers deux organisations internationales, l'OTAN et l'UE, et un acteur national important, les tats-Unis. Pour les tats-Unis, les facteurs g opolitiques jouent un r le majeur, et il est expliqu que la structure politique et les d cisions du pr sident sont cruciales pour les choix du pays. Pour l'OTAN, le manque de l gitimit joue un r le central en ce qui concerne la R2P, ainsi que le pr c dent historique de son implication dans le conflit en Libye en 2011. Enfin, l'UE est d crite en mettant l'accent sur les limites institutionnelles et son potentiel devenir une autorit normative en mati re de R2P.

In Siria, finora non stato avviato alcun intervento umanitario autorizzato dal Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite. I tentativi di cessate il fuoco tra le parti coinvolte sono falliti ripetutamente. Questo studio analizza tre attori internazionali in relazione al loro operato in merito alla dottrina della responsabilit di proteggere (R2P). Pi specificamente, viene esaminata l'opzione di istituzionalizzare la responsabilit per l'intervento umanitario. A tal fine, la dottrina R2P viene analizzata attraverso due organizzazioni internazionali, la NATO e l'UE, e un importante attore nazionale, gli Stati Uniti. Per gli Stati Uniti, i fattori geopolitici giocano un ruolo fondamentale e viene spiegato che la struttura politica e le decisioni del presidente sono cruciali per le scelte del Paese. Per la NATO, la mancanza di legittimit gioca un ruolo centrale quando si parla di R2P, insieme al precedente storico del suo coinvolgimento nel conflitto in Libia nel 2011. Infine, l'UE descritta con enfasi sui limiti istituzionali e sul suo potenziale di diventare un'autorit normativa in materia di R2P. Attraverso l'analisi di questi attori internazionali, si cerca di collocare il conflitto siriano in un'ampia prospettiva internazionale.

Anti-War Theatre After Brecht

Anti-War Theatre After Brecht

Lara Stevens

Palgrave Macmillan
2016
sidottu
Examining the ways in which contemporary Western theatre protests against the ‘War on Terror’, this book analyses six twenty-first century plays that respond to the post-9/11 military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine. The plays are written by some of the most significant writers of this century and the last including Elfriede Jelinek, Caryl Churchill, Hélène Cixous and Tony Kushner. Anti-war Theatre After Brecht grapples with the problem of how to make theatre that protests the policies of democratically elected Western governments in a post-Marxist era. It shows how the Internet has become a key tool for disseminating anti-war play texts and how online social media forums are changing traditional dramatic aesthetics and broadening opportunities for spectator access, engagement and interaction with a work and the political alternatives it puts forward.

'Hypergamy: marriage into an equal or higher caste or social group' --Merriam Webster. Who are you dating? Have you considered hypergamy? Perhaps you should. There are real, consequential reasons behind women's long-held preferences for mates of high breeding, wealth, and ability. My well-researched book discusses the nature, history, and current-day implications of this preference and practice, and draws some very interesting conclusions. Do you have a list of qualifications for your ideal date? A thoughtful read of this book just might change that list. Making hypergamy a requirement in your dating search will serve not only to provide access to a better standard of living but to screen out unsuitable prospects. Only men who fit the bill will bother to apply. And you'll see a drastic improvement in your love life. Why? Because protective care is one of the greatest gifts a man can give -- and one of the greatest rewards of being a woman.

Performing Climates

Performing Climates

Eddie Paterson; Lara Stevens

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
Performing Climates features 13 interconnected essays exploring theatre and performance’s relationship with more-than-human elements at a time of climate emergency. This book argues that Western performance – how we conceive of it, as well as how we train and educate people in and about it – needs to reorient its ways of making and thinking about itself to reconsider patterns of breakdown, decay and renewal happening on and off stage in a literal play of cells and particles. Performing Climates examines live performance as a uniquely compostable artform, formed by sonic vibrations and movements of air and matter, more-than-human elements, composition and decomposition. This book will appeal to undergraduate audiences, postgraduate scholars and performance studies colleagues, offering exciting possibilities for reconsidering theatre and performing in an age of crisis.

Ecology and Climate in Theatre and Australian Performance

Ecology and Climate in Theatre and Australian Performance

Peta Tait; Denise Varney; Lara Stevens

Cambridge University Press
2026
sidottu
Charting a history of theatrical resistance to environmental exploitation, this study places drama and theatrical performance staged in Australia within the context of international scholarship to address major concerns about changing ecological systems. Exploring the staging of calamities ranging from droughts and floods to forest fires and rising seas, it examines a strikingly diverse body of work that reflects the entanglement of socio-economic and natural forces leading to ecological damage and climate change. Weather phenomena become protagonists in plays by Jack Davis, Andrea James, Louis Nowra and Hannie Rayson, while mutant creatures manifest climate threats in Jill Orr's work, and performances by the Australian Indigenous Marrugeku and Bangarra Dance Theatre invite grief for immense losses. Featuring First Nations performance and the profound knowledge of biodiverse multispecies habitats it presents, this study challenges the ways in which socio-ecological disaster is called 'natural' and positioned outside human responsibility.

Seventh-day Adventism in Crisis

Seventh-day Adventism in Crisis

Laura L. Vance

University of Illinois Press
1999
nidottu
As a "remnant of the remnant," Seventh-day Adventism's early years were distinguished by the leadership of women, most prominently the visionary and prophet Ellen White. However, after 1915 the number of Adventist women in leadership began a dramatic and uninterrupted decline that was not challenged until the 1980s. Tracing the views of the church through its official and unofficial publications and through interviews with dozens of Adventist informants, Laura Vance reveals a significant shift around the turn of the century in women's roles advocated by the church: from active participation in the functioning, spiritual leadership, teaching, and evangelism of Adventism to an insistence on homemaking as a woman's sole proper vocation. These changes in attitude, Vance maintains, are inextricably linked to Adventism's shift from sect to church: in effect, to its maturation as a denomination. Vance suggests that the reemergence of women in positions of influence within the church in recent decades should be viewed not as a concession to secular feminist developments but rather as a return to Adventism's earlier conception of gender roles. By examining changes in the movement's relationship with the world and with its own history, Seventh-day Adventism in Crisis offers a probing examination of how a sect founded on the leadership of women came to define women's roles in ways that excluded them from active public participation and leadership in the church.
