Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 2,0, University of Ghent, language: English, abstract: This article analyses the extent to which the European Union (EU) constitutes a normative power in its response on the Syrian Conflict. Normative power Europe is examined along principles, actions and impact. The empirical analysis focuses on two norms: democracy and human rights. According to analysis, taken measures by the EU have been moderate andless influential on the national level while the value promotion on the reginal level could prove its normative power.For several decades EU foreign policy analysis is concerned with the question of European Union (EU) actorness and the role of EU in international politics. Analysts are talking of the EU as a Military Power, Civilian Power, Soft Power or Cultural Power. General discussion of conceptual frameworks of the Normative Power Europe has become immensely popular in the EU studies and has provoked substantial debate. At the same time, the EU has been experiencing a dramatic change in its direct neighborhood. Syrian Arab Republic, the country located in the heart of Middle East, turned into a new hybrid war and the region was overwhelmed with one of the worst humanitarian crises the world has faced in the 21st century. About 5.6 million Syrians are recent refugees in neighboring countries, 11.7 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian assistance internally and over 560.000 became victims of the Syrian war. The extent and continuation of the conflict also has a destabilizing impact and turned the neighborhood into a 'ring of fire'. The displacement of people, the exacerbation of political and sectarian differences and the spread of terrorism are forming a new threat to the democratic institution of the EU.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject History Europe - Germany - Postwar Period, Cold War, grade: 1,0, University of Ghent, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the classic understanding of the Revolution in East Germany in 1989. The excluding criteria of violence will be challenged upon the revolutionary process. Furthermore, the reasons for the non-violent participation in the protest will be analysed upon a structural-behavioural approach within the Ration Action Theory. This paper examines the term 'Peaceful Revolution' and its outstanding characteristic of peaceful. First, the definition and framework of the Revolution will be discussed. The paper concentrates on the non-violent aspect through a behavioural-rational approach which will be also introduced to the reader.In the second part, the paper will discuss if the process in East-Germany fulfils the conditions of a Revolution. Furthermore, the reasons why people participated in demonstrations in the autumn of 1989, especially why the people choose a non-violent way, will be viewed. The paper follows the research question: Why did the protest in Autumn 1989 in East Germany remain peaceful How does the Peaceful Revolution challenge the classic definition of Revolution 1989 became a historically important year for Germany and the whole of Europe: The fall of the Wall on November 9th became a symbol for the self-liberation of East Germans. It marked the end of an authoritarian soviet Era and the reunification of one of the economically strongest nations in Europe. Today 30 years later the Peaceful Revolution is celebrated as a unique spontaneous and non-violent revolution in Germany.The GDR (German Democratic Republic) citizens reached for freedom during the Monday demonstrations in the main cities of Leipzig, Dresden, and East-Berlin after they were oppressed for 40 years by a socialist totalitarian regime. Elementary human rights such as freedom of travel, speech, and information were taken away from them. During one month, October 1989, East Germans started writing history: the dictatorship was peacefully challenged with demonstrations and rallies and then completely swept away. Divided Germany and Europe were gone. October 9th is seen as a milestone in Germany's road to freedom and finally resulted in the Fall of the Wall on November 9th.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Biographies, grade: 1,3, University of Erfurt, language: English, abstract: This paper will introduce the Mexican American labour organizer Cesar Chavez to the reader. Since he was an important and inspiring person for the marginalized labour movement in the United States in the 1960s and 70s, his organization United Farm Workers Organization Committee (UFWOC), his achievements, beliefs and methods will be closely examined in this paper. His understanding of social change and shifting the power relations between workers and employers was closely linked with nonviolent action.

The second part of the paper follows the research question: Why is non-violence an adequate strategy to fight injustice on the farm fields.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Frieden und Konflikte, Sicherheit, Note: 1,3, Universität Erfurt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit analysiert, welche Machtverhältnisse zwischen den Paschtunen und den Hazara in der afghanischen Gesellschaft vorliegen. Die zentrale Fragestellung lautet: Lässt sich das Verhältnis der Hazara und Paschtunen in der afghanischen Gesellschaft als 'Außenseiter-Etablierten-Beziehung' nach Norbert Elias darstellen Hierfür wird zuerst dessen Figurationstheorie vorgestellt sowie detaillierter auf die 'Außenseiter-Etablierten-Beziehung' eingegangen. Anschließend werden Hazara und Paschtunen als ethnische Gruppen kurz vorgestellt und analysiert, ob ihr Verhältnis auf eine 'Außenseiter-Etablierten-Beziehung' übertragbar ist. Der Menschenwissenschaftler und Soziologe Norbert Elias hat einen neuen Blickwinkel auf die Beziehung zwischen Gesellschaft und dem Individuum eröffnet. Elias ist auf eine allgemein bedeutende Grundfiguration des Sozialen gestoßen. In einer Fallstudie analysierten er und John L. Scotson machtbasierende zwischenmenschliche Interdependenzen zwischen einer Personengruppe. Sie stellten fest, wie sich die Etablierten und Außenseiter-Konstellationen in einer englischen, fiktiven Ortschaft manifestieren und ausdrücken. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse nutzte Elias, um ein Erklärungsmodell in der Analyse sozialer Ein- und Ausschlussprozesse herauszuarbeiten. Jedoch kann dieser Figurationsansatz heute als eurozentrisch kritisiert werden, weil sie außereuropäische Gesellschaften empirisch vernachlässigt und normative Kriterien der europäischen Kultur universalisiert. Um einer subjektivistischen Wissenschaftstheorie entgegenzuwirken und von einer eurozentralisierten Sichtweise zu befreien, nimmt diese Arbeit zwar Bezug auf das angeführte Beispiel von Elias, befasst sich aber mit einer außereuropäischen Problematik, dem ethnisch-gesellschaftlichen Verhältnis zwischen Paschtunen und Hazara in Afghanistan.
