O uso das intervenções humanitárias coercitivas e suas conseqüências para a resolução de conflitos intra-estatais na era pós-guerra fria / The use of coercive power in humanitarian interventions in the post-cold war, and its consequences for conflict resolutionMarcelo Braga Alcantara 01 August 2007 (has links)
Com o fim da Guerra-Fria uma série de conflitos surge em diferentes pontos do globo. Em sua maioria eles são de natureza intra-estatal, marcados por alto grau de violência e com múltiplos atores envolvidos. Acompanha essa nova realidade a adoção de uma postura coercitiva por parte da Organização das Nações Unidas, doravante comum nas chamadas intervenções humanitárias. A partir deste quadro propõe-se aqui analisar os fatores constitutivos desses conflitos, representados em dois estudos de casos emblemáticos do tema em foco, Somália (1992) e Timor Leste (1999), bem como o comportamento da ONU em face desses novos desafios. O fio condutor de toda a pesquisa consistiu em demonstrar sua principal hipótese: o sucesso dos processos de resolução de conflitos chefiados pela ONU foi comprovado somente em episódios nos quais a organização internacional considerou outros recursos além do uso da força militar e enfatizou abordagens mais abrangentes, as quais consideravam atores da sociedade civil originários de diversas camadas sociais. / The end of the Cold War is followed by many internal conflicts around the world. Most of these conflicts, are characterized by a high level of violence and composed by actors from different origins. This work is an analysis of coercive power in humanitarian interventions, ruled by the United Nations, concerning conflict resolution process and humanitarian interventions undertaken in East Timor (1999) and in Somalia (1992). The main goal is to discuss the reasons why United Nations used military force in humanitarian interventions, as well as to highlight the approach to conflict resolution processes developed by international organizations. This work argues that conflict resolution processes tend to be successful when they are based on a broader approach, which concerns actors form civil society, coming from different social origins.

Connection between human rights and the state capacity in SomaliaMendrok, Katarzyna January 2011 (has links)
This thesis is about human rights and states. To be more specific, condition of human rights in Somalia. Human rights are universal moral laws of a fundamental nature, belonging to any individual in its relations with the state. Literature treats state as a main protector of human rights and at the same time as a main violator. When protector turns into major threat? Does the state capacity matter? My analysis provides support for my hypothesis that the stronger the state, the better condition of human rights. Strong state is able to protect its citizens, while weak states lack capacity to provide security. The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether Somalia as a failed state has capacity to protect human rights.

持續危機下的糧食援助 ─以世界糧食計畫署於索馬利亞的行動為例 / Food Aid In A Time Of Prolonged Crisis – Assistance From World Food Programme In Somalia陳彥廷 Unknown Date (has links)
糧食援助一直以來是國際關係所面臨的重大議題，對於援助者與受援國之間的互動往往超出糧食援助真正的人道關懷目標，雖然糧食產量足以供給全球人口需求，但世界上仍有許多飢荒地區民獲取不到糧食或是長期營養攝取不足，糧食無法平均分配給每一個人至今仍是糧食援助所面臨的難題之一。此外，因國內政局動盪所導致的人為飢荒，更是讓糧食援助雪上加霜。
本研究試著從糧食援助的歷史脈絡出發，從早期為解決糧食產量過剩的問題，糧食援助成為剩餘糧食處理的手段，經過聯合國與許多非政府組織的努力下，至今糧食援助已是人道主義共識下的產物。在糧食援助主體方面，糧食援助也從早期雙邊國家的互惠關係，逐步演變成多邊參與，援助主體也不僅限於國家，許多國際組織與非政府組織對於糧食援助更是不遺餘力。糧食援助的客體也從飢荒地區的短期糧食供給，轉變為解決長期糧食營養不足的問題，甚至在持續危機之下，成為改善災區民眾生活的方式之一。
文獻上已有學者針對飢荒的成因不同作出分類，透過該些分類檢視飢荒嚴重地區的國家，歸納出飢荒嚴重地區的國家大多是由於人為因素所刻意形成的外示飢荒。在案例研究上，透過聯合國糧食計畫署在索馬利亞的援助計畫，觀察如何在持續危機之下進行糧食援助。索馬利亞先天的地理條件造成乾旱引發糧食產量不足，固然是導致飢荒的因素之一。然而長年下來政局的動盪不安，政府更迭頻繁，拒絕國際糧食援助等人為飢荒，才是造成該國民眾長期食物匱乏，營養不足的主因。因此如何在持續危機之下進行糧食援助，有效改善飢荒地區民眾的生活才是國際社會共同努力的目標。本研究也希冀藉由案例研究的方式對糧食援助能有更深一層的認識。

Exploring Maritime Border Disputes using the Issues Approach : Comparative analysis of Ghana-Ivory Coast and Kenya-SomaliaMahajan, Roli January 2021 (has links)
Maritime boundaries are man-made constructs which are critical to resources like oil and gas, fisheries as well as trade. Recently, these delimitations in the sea have also gained importance in the environmental discourse because the role of the sea has become scientifically more significant in the field of climate change. Drawing upon the disciplines of international law of the sea and political science, this study scrutinizes the causes that underpin the peaceful settlement of a maritime delimitation dispute between two states. This thesis delves into maritime border disputes in Africa. It aims to examine the question “why do some states resolve their marine border disputes while others do not” by opting for a qualitative approach to compare two cases: Ghana--Ivory Coast and Somalia--Kenya. It outlines how the governance of the sea through UNCLOS is important, differences as well as similarities between land and sea border issues, and then delves into wider political connotations that impact the resolution of maritime borders issues between countries. Using the issues framework, it tests the hypothesis: the more the number of security issues between two states, the less the likelihood of the resolution of maritime border issue between them.

Soukromé vojenské a bezpečnostní společnosti v boji proti pirátům od Jihočínského moře po Africký roh / Private military and security companies in the fight against pirates from the South China Sea to the Horn of AfricaPerglerová, Soňa January 2012 (has links)
The international system has been confronting with constant changes since the end of the Cold War. Especially in the last twenty years on the international chessboard has emerged a new player that provides a wide range of military and security services - private military and security companies (PMSCs). While operations PMSCs are mainly associated and confined with conflict and war zones in Africa and the Middle East, this thesis entitled "Private military and security companies in the fight against the pirates from the South China sea to the horn of Africa" is about private military and security companies which provide special security services - naval. The growing demand for these services leads to the increase of private providers not only along the Somali coast, but also in Southeast Asia. The aim of the thesis is to explain why PMSCs engage in the fight against piracy, respectively what are the conditions for the initiation and development of private naval security activities.

Climate and Conflict in Somalia : Drought as an Exacerbation of State-Based ViolenceLahti, Sara January 2023 (has links)
As the effects of climate change grow more severe, scholars and policymakers have paid increased attention to the intersection of climate and conflict. This study examines one subset of that crossing: how drought leads to the exacerbation of state-based violence. While researchers generally agree that droughts increase conflict risks, the underlying link that connects them remains a key uncertainty. This study puts forth a newly assembled causal mechanism of staple insecurities, forced displacement and recruitment opportunities. It argues that as water and food become scarce due to drought, individuals are forcibly displaced in search of basic necessities. Subsequent vulnerabilities and lack of economic alternatives give warring parties an opportunity to recruit members, ultimately leading to an escalation of the conflict. Using a structured focused comparison method with elements of process tracing, this study analyzes four cases (time periods of drought and non-drought) which are drawn from the southern area of Somalia. The findings are aligned with the hypothesized relationship, thus contributing to the academic literature by providing evidence of a causal mechanism through which drought – and therefore climate change – can exacerbate state-based violence.

Educational Challenges Faced By Unaccompanied Refugee Youths In StockholmBerhane, Merhawi, Koroma, Samuel January 2015 (has links)
This research paper explores the educational challenges faced by unaccompanied refugee youths in Stockholm. It focuses on the ongoing educational challenges that stem after separating from their families or other representatives in struggling to find a safe place; and adjust to a foreign country with minimal support. The research also examines what educational services that have been made available to these unaccompanied refugee youths. Furthermore, how successful they have been in adjusting into the Swedish educational system and achieving their educational goals. We have conducted a qualitative research method using semi-structured interviews to provide insightful findings into this research topic. The sample included ten unaccompanied refugee youths and three professionals that are experts in the area of unaccompanied refugee youths. The findings underscore that most of the unaccompanied refugee youths´ dropout from school before they are able to achieve their post- secondary education due to different challenges that influence their educational pursuit. Key words: challenges, support, imbalance, education, and unaccompanied Refugee youths.

Modes of mobilisation : socio-political dynamics in Somaliland, Somalia, and AfghanistanSandstrom, Karl January 2011 (has links)
This thesis provides a framework for viewing socio-political contexts and how these relate to interventionist projects. The framework draws on and combines strands from international relations and sociological perspectives of social interaction. The central question becomes how intervention and existing social contexts interact to produce unintended outcomes. It applies the analysis to two separate wider contexts: Afghanistan and Somalia, with a particular focus on the self-declared independent Somaliland as an internally generated and controlled transformational process. Unlike abstract directions of theoretical development the framework seeks to provide a platform that sets aside ideological assumptions and from which interventionist projects can be observed and evaluated based on literature, field observations and interviews. Drawing on such diverse influences as fourth generation peace and conflict studies, Morphogenetics, and social forces theory, the framework explores conditions and interest formations to capture instances of local agency that are part of a continuity of local realities. It views social interaction without imposing Universalist value assumptions, but also without resorting to relativism or raising so many caveats that it becomes impractical. It exposes the agency of local interest formations hidden beneath the discourses of ideologically framed conflicts. These social agents are often dismissed as passive victims to be brought under the influence of for example the state, but are in reality able to subvert, co-opt, constrain or facilitate the forces that are dependent on them for social influence. In the end, it is the modes of mobilisation that emerge as the most crucial factor for understanding the relevant social dynamics.
