Hermeneutics And The English School: Gadamer&#039 / s Hermeneutics And Wight&#039 / s Approach To International Theory

Gulle, Muhammed Bahadir 01 December 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis attempts to discover the hermeneutic orientation of the English School&rsquo / s approach to international relations. It is argued that the English School approach has a distinctive interpretivist character. The thesis concentrates on the works of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Martin Wight. Martin Wight&rsquo / s anti-positivism, the historical character of his analysis of the traditions in international theory, and the centrality of language in his studies shows strong resemblance to Hans-Georg Gadamer&rsquo / s hermeneutics. The main purpose of this thesis is to show the relationship between the hermeneutics and the English School approach by discovering the common points between the thoughts of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Martin Wight.

China’s Nuclear Perception: How does the English School explain the case of China’s shift from nuclear proliferation to nonproliferation?

Sahlin, Jonathan January 2010 (has links)
This explanatory single-case study explains why China shifted its policy fromproliferation of nuclear weapons and technology, to nonproliferation. In doing so,English School (ES) theory is used in order to explain this shift – stressing theimportance of both the international system as well as the international society. Tostreamline the methodological inconsistencies of the ES tradition, a constructivistmethodology is applied. The study concludes that China’s perception of theinternational system and society is the most important feature when formulatingforeign policy and complying with the nonproliferation regime. From applying astreamlined constructivist view of ES theory the result is the discovery of China’snational rationale, which serves as a benchmark for its foreign policy. China isprimarily driven by national interest and while adhering to international norms,rules, and structures – it will still see domestic stability and defending itssovereignty as its main priorities.

The Political Impact of the Rising Salafi-Wahhabi Influence in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Panos, Nicholas Christopher 14 May 2015 (has links)
This thesis examines the political impact of Salafi-Wahhabism in contemporary Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) since the El Mujahed Brigade of mujahedeen introduced this puritanical Saudi form of Islam during the 1992-1995 War that broke apart the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFROY). This study employs tenets of the English School of International Relations and utilizes a historical analytic approach to identify durable features of Bosnian Muslim religious economic activity, Bosnian education, and Bosnian political processes to answer the research question: what kind of influence has Salafi-Wahhabism had on BiH society and government since the end of the 1992-1995 Balkan War? Emergent evidence captured by these variables suggests a momentum of Salafi-Wahhabism influence is developing that may undercut the sovereignty of BiH and possibly impede its European Union membership bid. As a result of this rising Wahhabi influence in several facets of Bosnian society, the aggregate level of Islamism in the country is also likely increasing. / Master of Arts

Ética e política na escola inglesa de relações internacionais / Ethics and politics in the English School of international relations

Cláudia Alvarenga Marconi 27 January 2009 (has links)
A presente pesquisa pretende, de modo geral, analisar o quão sólida é a vertente normativa da Escola Inglesa das Relações Internacionais. Para tanto, em um primeiro momento é feita uma discussão acerca do lugar ocupado pela teoria política normativa na literatura de Relações Internacionais. Em seguida, são identificados os três grandes temas que unem os escritos tanto modernos quanto contemporâneos de teoria política internacional. O primeiro deles se refere à dicotomia inside/outside, o segundo tema trata da tensão particularista/universalista e o terceiro tema aponta para a diferenciação entre o sistema e a sociedade internacionais. Finalmente, a pesquisa busca nos escritos mais contemporâneos da EI as respostas para esses dilemas éticos e políticos, visando concluir se a vertente normativa dessa abordagem teórica de RI é suficientemente forte e capaz de tratar a tensão existente entre ordem e justiça nas relações internacionais. / The main objective of this research is to analyze how consistent is the normative wing of the English School of International Relations (IR). In order to reach such an objective, firstly, there is a debate about the place occupied by normative political theory in IR literature. Secondly, three main themes of both modern and contemporary writings of international political theory are identified. The first of them refers to the dichotomy inside/outside, the second one regards the tension particularism/universalism, and the third raises the difference between international system and international society. Finally, the research tries to find the answers to these ethical and political dilemmas mainly within the contemporary writings of the English School, aiming at concluding whether the normative wing of such a theoretical approach is sufficiently robust and able to deal with the tension between order and justice in international relations.

Civis Sacer: peacekeeper abuse and international order

kovalchuk, alexander (sasha) 28 September 2016 (has links)
Although United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKO) are said to protect humanitarian rights, peacekeepers are found to commit sexual assault, war crimes, and gross negligence. International legal immunities exempt peacekeepers and the UN from criminal liability and civil litigation. Whereas the literature on peacekeeper abuses conceptualizes the problem to be one of implementation of immunities, this thesis contends that such views are uncritical towards peacekeeping, immunity itself, and international society that organizes UNPKO. I theorize that the legal structures permitting such abuses (e.g. the UN Charter) render individuals expendable and hence objectified for the sake of international order. The argument presents a case study of the Srebrenica Massacre and ensuing legal cases to illustrate how immunities objectify individuals. Drawing on Agamben's theory of homo sacer, I introduce the term civis sacer to describe individuals excluded from international law with UNPKO immunities that objectifies them for the sake of maintaining international order. / Graduate / 0616

ČLR a USA v mírových operacích OSN v letech 1989-2010 / China and USA in UN peacekeeping operations in 1989-2010

Evanová, Jitka January 2012 (has links)
China and USA in UN Peace Operations in 1989-2010 Mgr. Jitka Evanová Summary The thesis discusses the growing role of China and decreasing role of USA in UN peace operations since 1989 with the aim to find the reasons behind their behavior. First, two chosen theories of international relations - neorealism and its modified version and English school - are described, independent variables determined and consequent hypotheses formulated. Second, the increasing Chinese and decreasing American activities in UN peace operations is shown by describing their gradually changing behavior in three areas: voting in the Security Council, personnel contributions to peacekeeping operations and financial contributions to the UN peacekeeping budget. Third, the hypotheses are tested using the congruence method that examines the explanatory power of the theories. If a reality is consistent with the hypotheses' prediction, there is a possiblity of a causal relationship between independent variable and the dependent one. I conclude that modified neorealim has the highest explanatory power as its predictions are consistent with the outcome in both cases. English school can to a certain degree explain Chinese behavior but is weak in the American case. Neorealist predictions are weak in both cases. In the end, I suggest possible...

Postavení Ruské federace v postsovětském prostoru na základě typologie Anglické školy / Position of Russian Federation in post-soviet area based on typology of english school

Vinterová, Lucie January 2014 (has links)
The submitted diploma thesis focuses on the role of Russian federation within the post- communist area. The issue will be surveyed on the basis of Adam Watson's typology. Adam Watson is one of the representatives of the English school. The thesis describes the development of the Russian foreign policy, with regard to post-soviet area, from the disintegration of the Soviet Union to the present. The attention is paid to the idea of the eurasianism, or new eurasianism, which has become the most popular in the Russian foreign policy. The other part of the thesis presents the detailed analysis of the development of the Russian federation's relations with the other states and its degree of influence on the states within the post-soviet area. It examines both the degree of influence of the Russian federation's states and the degree of influence which Russia has within the integration groups, which came into being after the Soviet Union disintegration.

[en] TRADITION AND AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, FROM 1898 TO 1917 - A DISCUSSION ABOUT POLITICS AND IDEAS / [pt] TRADIÇÃO, NORMAS E A POLÍTICA EXTERNA BRASILEIRA PARA OS DIREITOS HUMANOS

GUSTAVO SENECHAL DE GOFFREDO 23 May 2002 (has links)
[pt] Esta é uma dissertação de relações internacionais. Seu objetivo é analisar o limite da inclusão da política externa brasileira para os direitos humanos dentro do marco da sua tradição diplomática de respeito ao direito internacional depois da redemocratização do país. Antes, contudo, faz-se uma descrição histórico-jurídica do funcionamento dos regimes internacional e interamericano de proteção para especificar as obrigações a que estão atrelados os Estados que fazem parte desses sistemas de proteção. No que se refere ao quadro de referência teórica, parte-se da perspectiva da Escola Inglesa, uma vez que ela ressalta o respeito às normas como um aspecto fundamental da política internacional. Aqui, busca-se principalmente demonstrar como o discurso e a prática da política externa para os direitos humanos vão-se inserindo dentro de uma certa tradição inventada da diplomacia brasileira. / [en] This is an international relations dissertation. Its objective is to assess the extent to which the Brazilian foreign policy for human rights after the countrys redemocratization is in accordance with the its diplomatic tradition of respect to international law. Before, however, a historical-juridical description of the functioning of the International and Inter-American regimes is undertaken as a means to specify the obligations by which the States- parties of those systems of protection are bound to. As far as the theoretical framework is concerned, the starting point will be that of the English School, once it highlights respect to international norms as a fundamental aspect of world politics. Here the main purpose is to demonstrate how the discourse and practice of foreign policy towards human rights are being gradually inserted into a certain invented tradition of the Brazilian diplomacy.

[en] THE DYNAMICS OF RECOGNITION: HEGEL S CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEBATE ON THE ENGLISH SCHOOL / [pt] A DINÂMICA DO RECONHECIMENTO: CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE HEGEL PARA O DEBATE DA ESCOLA INGLESA

CAROLINA VON DER WEID 22 July 2004 (has links)
[pt] A dissertação tem como tema principal a avaliação da proposta da Escola Inglesa, uma das principais tentativas de historicização da teoria de Relações Internacionais. Primeiramente procura-se demonstrar a contradição inerente à proposta inglesa ao partir de uma perspectiva jusnaturalista e projetar uma proposta de historicização da disciplina. Embora as análises recaiam constantemente neste paradoxo, é possível detectar no conceito de sociedade internacional um ponto de partida para tal projeto. A partir deste diagnóstico, a pesquisa volta-se para um estudo da ontologia histórica desenvolvida por Hegel, especialmente sua teoria do reconhecimento. Uma vez esclarecido os principais pontos da perspectiva hegeliana sobre a realidade social, consideram-se algumas questões pertinentes a sua filosofia política. Finalmente, argumenta-se que por meio da teoria do reconhecimento, cujo desdobramento está pautado por uma noção de historicidade própria da filosofia hegeliana, é possível retirar o conteúdo de natureza presente na formulação original do conceito de sociedade internacional e dotá-lo do dinamismo necessário para dar conta das necessidades de temporalização das correntes teóricas da disciplina. / [en] The main theme of this dissertation is to analyse the English School`s project for International Relations, one of the key attempts to historicize IR theory. First of all, the work examines the English project and its contradictory proposal based on natural rights` principles and the attempt to bring history into the discipline. Although the analysis usually repeat this paradox, it is possible to consider the concept of international society as a valuable starting point to unite history and IR theory. The study, then, turns towards the investigation of the historical ontology developed by Hegel, especially his theory of recognition. Once the major points of the Hegelian perspective are made clear, some questions about his political philosophy are examined. Finally, it will be argued that through the Hegelian concept of recognition, which is based on Hegel`s own idea of historicity, it is possible to avoid the usual natural right`s principle associated to the original concept of international society. By adding recognition to the concept of international society, its content is provided with dynamism and therefore, it becomes capable of avoiding the traditional ahistoricism of IR theories.

Deslocados internos por perseguição religiosa e o Estado islâmico: uma análise do caso iraquiano (2006 - 2014) / Internally displaced by religious persecution and the Islamic state: an analysis of the Iraqi case (2006 - 2014)

Its general objective is to emphasize the importance of religion as one of the explanatory variables of contemporary international politics. In order to do so, it uses concepts from the English School to analyze the increase in the number of internally displaced persons due to religious persecution in Iraq after the rise of the terrorist group Islamic State between 2006 and 2014. It is therefore argued that there is a relation between the two facts. In order to verify this assumption and achieve the general objective of the research, the main religious elements that can influence international relations are classified, emphasizing the concepts of non-state religious actor and transnational religious issues. It then discusses how these elements can be understood in the light of the main theories of IR, such as Realism, Liberalism, Constructivism and English School, but emphasizes the latter. It is also conceptualizes terms such as internal displacement and religious persecution, with reference to the main sources of international law. Finally, it is demonstrated, through analysis of the official propaganda of the Islamic State, how Islamic religious elements were used by the group in order to persecute Christians and Yazidis in Iraq. This fact caused a large number of internally displaced persons due to religious persecution in the country. It is concluded, therefore, that, although religion is still an explanatory variable of IR neglected in the academic world, it is increasingly present in events of international politics, especially after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. / Esta dissertação discute a influência da religião nas Relações Internacionais (RI) e tem como objetivo geral ressaltar a importância da religião enquanto uma das variáveis explicativas da política internacional contemporânea. Para isso, utiliza-se de conceitos da Escola Inglesa para analisar o aumento do número de deslocados internos por perseguição religiosa no Iraque após a ascensão do grupo terrorista Estado Islâmico, entre 2006 e 2014. Defende-se, portanto, que existe uma relação entre os dois fatos. A fim de verificar esse pressuposto e alcançar o objetivo geral da pesquisa, classifica-se os principais elementos religiosos que podem influenciar as relações internacionais, dando ênfase aos conceitos de ator religioso não estatal e questões religiosas transnacionais. Em seguida, discute como esses elementos podem ser compreendidos à luz das principais teorias de RI, como Realismo, Liberalismo, Construtivismo e Escola Inglesa, ressaltando, porém, essa última. Conceitua-se também termos como deslocado interno e perseguição religiosa, tendo como referente as principais fontes de Direito Internacional. Por fim, é demonstrado, por meio da análise da propaganda oficial do Estado Islâmico, como elementos religiosos islâmicos foram instrumentalizados pelo grupo a fim de perseguir cristãos e yazidis no Iraque. Fato que ocasionou um grande número de deslocados internos por perseguição religiosa no país. Conclui-se, portanto, que, embora a religião ainda seja uma variável explicativa das RI negligenciada no meio acadêmico, está cada vez mais presente em eventos da política internacional, sobretudo após os atentados terroristas do 11 de setembro de 2001.
