Čínské chování v Mezinárodní organizaci práce - status quo nebo revizionistický aktér? / Chinese Behaviour in the International Labour Organization- status quo or revisionist actor?Köppen, Julia January 2017 (has links)
What is Chinese behaviour like in the International Labour Organization (ILO) - is China a Status Quo or a Revisionist Actor? Despite the prominence of the issue of China's rise in international relations studies, little research has been published on China's behaviour in international organizations in other realms than the economic. This thesis, therefore, seeks the answer to the posed question. Chinese statements are examined concerning forced and child labour, as well as other distinct themes, their structure and a potential underlying strategy. The findings are retrieved from an analysis of Chinese statements in sittings of ILO organs and checked against information provided in ILO reports to detect discrepancies. A major finding is that the overall behaviour of China in the ILO can categorized as reform-minded status quo, even though there are some factors which could be interpreted as revisionist tendencies. Due to this categorization, a continued peaceful rise of China is considered to be possible.

RETURN TO THE FIRST IMAGE: A PLACE FOR PEOPLES IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSScherer, Danielle K. January 2018 (has links)
This project examines the relationship between the international system and the lived experience of peoples. This dissertation is aimed at understanding the ways in which recognition at the international level can shape not only the way people choose to behave, but also the way they conceive of their own identities. It introduces theorizing on the concepts of identity, habitus, and hysteresis to the field of international relations (IR) in an attempt to better understand often overlooked conflicts created by the international state system. In doing so, it includes an exploration of the role that recognition plays in creating idealized identities for everyone in the state system and the resulting conflicts that arise when individuals possess group identities that do not align with the state-based identities that the international system and its structures are premised upon. Through a return to studying the first image in the IR literature I explore the ways in which varying forms of recognition in international institutions (states, collections of law, and IO positions, agreements, and membership rules) impact the way different groups of people view themselves within the larger global order, and how that in turn alters the way they behave politically over time. I argue that misrecognition of the identities of individuals and collectives of individuals by international institutions and actors threatens their habitus, potentially resulting in shifts in their political behavior dependent upon the cohesion of the collective’s sense of self and the support they have from other members of the international community. / Political Science

Financing the Provision of Global Public Goods.Anand, Prathivadi B. January 2002 (has links)
No / This paper examines the concept of global public goods (GPGs) and in that context explores the extent of aid (ODA) presently being diverted to GPG provision and whether such diversion skews aid-flows towards some recipients. These are examined on the basis of OECD data for the late 1990s. The main argument of this paper is that ODA should not be used for financing GPG provision by developing countries. Instead, it is suggested that other sources of financing the provision of GPGs should be developed keeping in view the various technologies by which the GPGs can be produced and design principles for supra-national institutions. Various arguments from Sandler, Barrett and Kanbur are considered. In particular, Kanbur's suggestion of two tensions involving the principles of economies of scale, subsidiarity, economies of scope and specialisation, is explored further.

The world “In Search of its Soul”: UNESCO, America, and the struggle to build a postcolonial worldOlson, David 24 June 2024 (has links)
This dissertation traces the international, intellectual, and institutional history of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This organization became the intellectual branch of the United Nations and was able to mobilize intellectual resources from around the world. Historians, educators, economists, and communications theorists used the organization’s conferences, roundtables, and meetings to forge transnational networks. American and European statesmen exploited these networks to encourage postwar peace and promote their own visions of international society. Third World diplomats and intellectuals embraced the organization but campaigned against its Eurocentric priorities. They pushed it to focus on discrediting the set of ideas and assumptions that underpinned the imperial world order. American diplomats and intellectuals championed UNESCO’s anticolonial agenda for decades and assisted such global campaigns as the fight against illiteracy, the preservation of ancient monuments, and the transfer of communications technology. By the 1970s, however, intellectual disagreements about the international economic system sparked a war of ideas and instigated a diplomatic crisis that led to American withdrawal from the organization. The decline of European imperialism and the rise of the Third World led to decades of economic, diplomatic, and military tension. This dissertation concludes that this sea change in world history also led to profound confrontation in the international realm of information and ideas. UNESCO was not the only forum devoted to the international exchange of information and ideas. But its authority as the intellectual arm of the United Nations made it one of the major battlegrounds in the struggle to create a postcolonial world.

Odškodňování obětí v kontextu mírových operací mezinárodních organizací / Compensation of victims in the context of peace operations of international organisationsČervenková, Tereza January 2017 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the compensation of victims in the peace operations of international organizations. The issue of compensation to victims in the context of peace operations of international organizations is very complex, because i tis closely connected with many other issues, such as the subjectivity of international organizations, their responsibility or immunity, and it is also closely related to international humanitarian law. It is also a very actual issue, as peace operations are a phenomenon occurring quite often and it can be assumed that they will still be needed in view of the various conflicts that are taking place today. In thesis I deal with the subjectivity of international organizations and their responsibility. The main part consists of chapters dedicated to assessing third-party claims in peace operations and the characteristics of the individual's process options of the victims. The aim of this thesis is primarily to analyze the compensation of victims in peacekeeping operations from a theoretical and practical point of view and to point out some specific problems related to the subject, as well as to conclude whether the current regulation allows victims to exercise their rights adequately. In the first chapter I deal with the subjectivity of international...

The Rules of the Game : A comparative case study on the conditions for the socialization of permanent representatives in the EU and NATODanielson, August January 2017 (has links)
Cooperation in international organizations is to a large degree driven and sustained by socialization – the process of inducting actors into the norms and rules of a given community. In the context of international organizations, the most influential state agents are the permanent representatives, the member states’ ambassadors to an international organization. However, systematic studies on the conditions for the socialization of permanent representatives are conspicuously absent in the literature. Instead, most previous research has focused on the conditions for socialization of “high-level officials” in the European Commission. This quite narrow perspective has led to a “N=1” problem and the generalizability of these studies have suffered as a result. In this thesis, I have aimed to broaden this perspective by testing six hypotheses on the conditions for socialization within two committees of permanent representatives in two different international organizations, the PSC (EU) and the NAC (NATO). This has been done by conducting elite interviews with 21 permanent representatives and deputies in Brussels. In contrast to previous research, the results of this thesis suggest that four of the six tested hypotheses should be disregarded, while two hypotheses – the representative’s relation to its MFA and the ambiguity of the international organization’s norms– should be given more theoretical consideration in future research. In addition, the interviews have shown that the degree of “internalization”, which can be understood as the goal and outcome of socialization, is stronger in the NAC than in the PSC. This outcome also contests the conventional wisdom that the EU is a sui generis case of socialization. On the basis of these results, I argue that the socialization of permanent representatives in international organizations is likely to occur if the organization’s norms have unambiguous, existential and materialistic consequences.

Increasing the Players: Expanding the Bilateral Relationship of Conflict ManagementStull, Emily A. 05 1900 (has links)
This research seeks to explore the behavior of international and regional organizations within conflict management. Previous research on conflict management primarily examines UN peacekeeping as the primary actor and lumps all non-UN actors into a single category. I disaggregate this category, examining how international and regional organizations interact when deciding to establish a peace mission, coordinate a peace mission with multiple organizations, and finally, how this interaction affects the success of peace missions. I propose a collective action theoretical framework in which organizations would rather another actor undertake the burden and costs of implementing a peace mission. I find the United Nations is motivated to overcome the collective action problem through an increase in the severity of the conflict. Regional organizations are motivated to establish a peace mission as the economic and political salience of the conflict increases, increasing the possibility of the regional organization acquiring club goods for its member states. The presence of a regional hegemon within a regional organization also significantly increases the likelihood of an organization both establishing a peace mission and taking on the primary role when coordinating a joint mission. I argue this is because a regional hegemon allows the organization to more easily overcome the collective action problem between its own member states due to the presence of a privileged actor.

Previous issue date: 2013-08-01 / This research aims to study the influences of the constitutional text and the following
international organizations: World Bank (WB), United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) e
Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLA), in the
development of basic education in Brazil in the period of 1988 through 2011. It
handles the study of the results obtained in the basic education sector after the
enactment of the 1988 Constitution and the reflections coming from the influences
received from supranational bodies. The study is made in a historical context that
involves the resumption of democratic freedoms wrapped in influences of
neoliberalism in the world. Education as a social right, toward the formation of the
subject and education designed to capacitate for the job market are conflicting points
when studying the reflections of the projections that international organizations make
for Brazil. Basic education, a constitutionally recognized social right, has not reached
the expected level of democratization of educational quality, walks, often under the
guidance of supranational organizations. There is an urgent need to build a true
system of education in Brazil, the difficulty is the lack of theoretical knowledge of
Brazilian educators. There have been significant advances in the indicators used to
assess the progress made in the educational sector, however, the results have not
achieved the excellence that is desired. The coexistence of public and private school
raises criticism about the public policies adopted by Brazil in the educational sector.
Education has substantial importance for the maintenance of the supremacy of the
State, therefore, can’t be conducted according to the projects that look after the
interests of supranational organizations. It is essential the care of the actual interests
of the Brazilian nation. The almost universalization of elementary education did not
represent an improvement in quality, although the projected goals have made
progress, there was no significant progress. The results achieved in basic education
in Brazil, counted with the participation of the public sector, with funding and
collaboration of the international organizations under study and the society, yielding
results that indicate, though in timid manner, progress in the educational sector. / Esta pesquisa tem o propósito de verificar as influências do texto constitucional e
das seguintes organizações internacionais: Banco Mundial (BM), Organização das
Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura (UNESCO), Fundo das
Nações Unidas para a Infância (UNICEF) e da Comissão Econômica para a América
Latina e o Caribe (CEPAL) no processo de desenvolvimento da educação básica no
Brasil, no período compreendido entre 1988 e 2011. Este estudo, de natureza
teórico-documental, cuida do estudo dos resultados obtidos no setor da educação
básica após a promulgação da Constituição de 1988 e dos reflexos oriundos das
influências recebidas dos organismos supranacionais. O estudo se dá em um
contexto histórico que envolve a retomada das liberdades democráticas envolto em
influências do neoliberalismo no mundo. A educação como um direito social, voltada
para a formação do sujeito, e a educação destinada a capacitar para o mercado são
pontos conflitantes quando do estudo dos reflexos das projeções que as
organizações internacionais fazem para o Brasil. A educação básica, direito social
reconhecido constitucionalmente, não alcançou a esperada democratização do
ensino de qualidade e caminha, muitas vezes, sob a orientação de organizações
supranacionais. É premente a necessidade de construção de um verdadeiro sistema
de educação para o Brasil. A dificuldade encontrada está na insuficiência teórica dos
educadores brasileiros. Houve avanços significativos nos indicadores utilizados para
averiguar os progressos obtidos no setor educacional, no entanto, os resultados não
alcançaram a excelência que se objetiva. A coexistência entre a escola pública e a
privada suscita críticas acerca das políticas públicas adotadas pelo Brasil no setor
educacional. A educação tem importância substancial para a manutenção da
supremacia do Estado, portanto, não pode ser conduzida segundo os projetos que
cuidam dos interesses de organizações supranacionais. Indispensável o
atendimento dos efetivos interesses da nação brasileira. A quase universalização do
ensino fundamental não representou melhora na qualidade. E, embora as metas
projetadas tenham apresentado avanço, não houve progressos significativos. Os
resultados alcançados na educação básica do Brasil contaram com a participação
do setor público, com os financiamentos e colaboração das organizações
internacionais em estudo e da sociedade, trazendo resultados que indicam, embora
de maneira tímida, progressos no setor educacional.

A política externa e de segurança comum da União Europeia após o Tratado de Lisboa: a caminho da supranacionalidade? / The European Unions common foreign and security policy after the Lisbon Treaty: towards supranationality?Pereira, Demetrius Cesario 19 February 2013 (has links)
Esta tese pretende analisar a emergência da União Europeia (UE) como ator político relevante das relações internacionais. Para isso, avaliou-se a influência do Tratado de Lisboa na supranacionalidade da Política Externa e de Segurança Comum (PESC) da UE. No trabalho, procurou-se apresentar as teorias das relações internacionais, concentrando-se na perspectiva institucionalista para a análise da PESC. A partir daí, discute-se o conceito de supranacionalidade, para então identificar seus elementos característicos nas organizações internacionais, como a composição dos órgãos, o processo decisório, o ordenamento jurídico e a personalidade. Estudou-se também a evolução da Europa como entidade influente na política mundial, desde o Concerto Europeu, passando pela Comunidade Europeia (CE) e Cooperação Política Europeia (CPE) até as discussões que levaram à criação da UE e da PESC pelo Tratado de Maastricht, para depois examinar suas características e evoluções nos Tratados de Amsterdã e Nice. Por fim, o Tratado de Lisboa é analisado, verificando-se a hipótese do aumento no grau de supranacionalidade que ele trouxe à PESC. Assim, o trabalho relaciona os avanços do Tratado de Lisboa com as previsões feitas pelos teóricos institucionalistas, avaliando a validade de seus argumentos e tecendo cenários futuros com o auxílio da teoria, especialmente em relação à coesão da política externa européia. / This thesis aims to analyze the emergence of the European Union (EU) as a relevant political actor in international relations. For this, we evaluated the influence of the Lisbon Treaty in the supranationality of Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). At this paper, we tried to present the theories of international relations, focusing on the institutionalist perspective to analyze the CFSP. Thereafter, we discuss the concept of supranationalism, and then identify its characteristic features in international organizations such as the composition of the bodies, decision-making, juridical order and the legal personality. It was also studied the evolution of Europe as an influential entity in world politics since the European Concert, passing by the European Community (EC) and the European Political Cooperation (EPC) to the discussions that led to the creation of the EU and the CFSP in the Maastricht Treaty, and then examined their characteristics and developments in the Treaties of Amsterdam and Nice. Finally, the Lisbon Treaty is analyzed, verifying the hypothesis of an increased degree of supranationalism that it brought to the CFSP. Thus, the research relates the progress of the Lisbon Treaty with the theoretical predictions made by institutionalists, assessing the validity of their arguments and weaving future scenarios with the aid of the theory, especially in relation to the cohesion of European foreign policy.

Reflections on current directions in leadership research : a reflexive-ethnographic examination of leader-follower and group dynamics in an international human rights based organizationAlbuloshi, Fatemah Mohammed K. January 2017 (has links)
This study problematizes the down play of heroic perspectives in the currently rising critical and post-heroic leadership research. It argues that compromising either the critical or the post-heroic perspectives in favour of the other would constrict or mislead our understanding of the social influence of leadership processes. This study calls for maintaining the theoretical uniqueness of both perspectives in order to enhance new understandings and broader knowledge claims. Therefore, the study adopts a reflexive-ethnographic examination of the leader-follower and group dynamics, in an International Human Rights Based Organization. The overall aim is to develop an understanding of how individuals in an International Organization like Global Peace Organization (GPO) cope with the universal scope of their organization and the diversity in their work environment. This aim is fulfilled through examining self-narratives generated by the participants in their day to day interactions. To facilitate the coherence between the two leadership perspectives in this examination, a dialectical dimension is enhanced by extending the emerging tactics of reflexivity and intertextuality to the various stages of research. The critical perspective then reveals a context-driven approach in the self-narratives where participants use their particular worldviews to interpret dilemmas and conflicts originating in their work. Conflicts between participants and their leaders also reflect power interplays based on crafting a sense of we-ness / us in self-Other encounters. However, an added perspective on interpersonal relations suggests the significance of the single factor where the less secure participants tend to mask their resistance with creative impression-management strategies. This eventually transforms their insecurities into more positive attitudes and behaviours which repositions them as informal leaders in their groups.
