The document outlines the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research's (HIIKR) definition of political conflict and their methodology for measuring conflict intensity on a scale from dispute to war. A political conflict involves at least two assertive actors with opposing positions on issues relevant to a society, carried out through observable measures outside of established procedures that threaten core state functions or international order. The HIIKR system classifies conflicts as disputes, non-violent crises, violent crises, limited wars, or wars based on the level of physical violence used and the consequences of conflict measures.

Soft power: A conceptual appraisal of the power of attraction
This lecture covers discussion surrounding the concept of power, the place of soft power within broader discussions about power, and how soft power is operationalized.
Structural realism
Structural realism argues that states inherently compete for power in an anarchic international system where there is no overarching authority. This competition arises from five key assumptions: 1) great powers are the main actors; 2) states have offensive military capabilities; 3) states cannot be certain of others' intentions; 4) the main goal of states is survival; and 5) states are rational actors. While defensive realists argue enough power is enough, offensive realists believe states should maximize their power and potentially pursue hegemony. The system polarity - multipolar, bipolar, or unipolar - also impacts state behavior and conflict. Overall, structural realism sees international politics as inherently about power in an anarchic system.

The document discusses some of the hidden dangers of using Facebook based on an expert's analysis. It outlines 5 main risks: 1) personal information being shared with third parties through applications and connections; 2) privacy settings reverting to less safe defaults with site redesigns; 3) ads potentially containing malware; 4) friends unintentionally exposing personal information; and 5) profile information retention even after deleting accounts. The expert warns that Facebook's business practices sometimes compromise users' privacy for marketing goals.
Types of war unit 5
The document discusses different types of war including total war, civil war, limited war, guerrilla war, and how terrain can impact warfare. Total war involves entire populations mobilized for war and seeking unconditional surrender. Civil wars are fought within nations between competing factions. Limited wars since WWII have involved limited objectives to avoid escalation. Guerrilla warfare relies on blending with local populations for concealment. Terrain like mountains favors infantry and guerrilla tactics while open plains are better for mechanized forces.
international relation
(1) Realism has three key principles: statism, survival, and self-help. Statism focuses on the state as the main actor with sovereignty. Survival examines whether power is an end in itself or for security. Self-help means states operate in an anarchic system without higher authority.
(2) Realism comes in three forms: classical, structural, and contemporary. Classical realism sees states as self-serving, while structural realism examines how the international system creates a struggle for power. Contemporary realism incorporates domestic factors into states' behavior.
(3) Criticisms of realism question what it means for states to seek power and whether power is a means or end. It is also
Democracy and Legitmacy - Law & Politics
Legitimacy maintains political stability because it establishes a regime's right to rule, and so underpins the regime's authority over its people. Legitimacy may be based on traditional, charismatic or legal–rational authority. Nevertheless, structural imbalances in modern society may make it increasingly difficult to maintain legitimacy. Legitimation crises may arise from the conflict between the pressure for social and economic interventionism generated by democracy on the one hand, and the pressure generated by market economy on the other.
There is considerable controversy about how liberal-democratic systems work in practice. Pluralists praise the system's capacity to guarantee popular responsiveness and public accountability. Elitists highlight the tendency for political power to be concentrated in the hands of a privileged minority. Corporatists draw attention to the incorporation of groups into government. The New Right focuses on the dangers of 'democratic overload'. And Marxists point to tensions between democracy and capitalism.There are a number of rival models of democracy, each offering its own version of popular rule. Classical democracy, which is based on the political system of Ancient Athens, is defended on the grounds that it alone guarantees government by the people. Protective democracy gives citizens the greatest scope to live their lives as they choose. Developmental democracy has the virtue that, in extending participation, it widens liberty and fosters personal growth. People's democracy aims to achieve economic emancipation, rather than merely the extension of political rights.
Liberalism
Liberalism advocates for individual freedom and rights. It first emerged during the Enlightenment and was used to justify revolutions in America and France. Liberal governments were then established across Europe, North America, and Latin America in the 19th century. Key liberal thinkers included John Locke, who advocated for life, liberty, and property; Mary Wollstonecraft, who argued for women's freedom; and Voltaire, who supported freedom of expression. However, not all thinkers supported liberalism, like Thomas Hobbes who believed people were inherently evil.
Realism
The document discusses several concepts from realist international relations theory including power, survival, and anarchy. It summarizes views of different theorists such as Thucydides, Machiavelli, Morgenthau, and Waltz. A key point discussed is the idea that in the international system, where there is no overarching authority, states are driven primarily by self-interest and power maximization in their relations with other states.

Revisiting haiti gangs and organized violence
This document summarizes research on urban gangs in Haiti. It finds that while international organizations view the gangs as criminal, Haitians see them more as political or community groups. Through interviews with gang members and residents, the research aims to better understand the gangs' composition, activities, and motivations. It finds that rank-and-file members of both gangs and former military insurgent groups often join for similar reasons like improving their lives, and come from similar backgrounds involving family violence. However, gang members believe more that their own actions can influence events, while former military members feel events are beyond their control. The research suggests reexamining assumptions about Haiti's gangs.
Liberalism in global politics
Liberalism views the global political system as characterized by complex interdependence rather than realism's focus on power. It argues that states are interdependent through multiple channels including non-state actors like corporations and NGOs. States are connected on multiple issues beyond just security, and military force is less effective due to these connections. As a result, cooperation is more common than conflict according to liberalism. The spread of democracy, nuclear weapons, wealth redistribution, and technology have increased complex interdependence in the modern world.
overview of liberalism part 1 08
Liberalism focuses on individual freedom and limiting the power of the state. Classical liberalism believed in negative freedom and laissez-faire economics, with the state playing a minimal role. Modern liberalism shifted to positive freedom, seeing a role for the state in providing services to empower individuals and ensure equal opportunity. It supported a mixed market economy and welfare state to help people achieve their potential. Overall, liberalism has evolved from focusing on non-interference by the state to allowing some intervention to promote individual fulfillment.
Geopolitical theory
Geopolitics is the study of how geographical factors like territory, population, resources, and location influence international politics and relations between states. Key thinkers in geopolitical theory include Alfred Thayer Mahan who argued sea power was essential for trade and power, Halford Mackinder who developed the Heartland Theory that control of the Eurasian core landmass meant control of the world, and Nicholas Spykman who argued control of the rimlands of Europe and Asia was more important than the heartland. Immanuel Wallerstein viewed the global political economy as consisting of core states that exploited peripheral states, with semi-peripheral states acting as buffers between them.
Types of States
There are several types of states depending on their system of government and leadership. Monarchies have a king or queen as the head of state, typically for life, while republics have a leader chosen by citizens for a fixed term, such as a president. Democracies are characterized by free and fair elections, separation of powers, and government rule by the people. States can also be classified based on their role in the economy, such as liberal states with minimal intervention or welfare states that provide social services, as well as their level of decentralization.
hard v soft power
This document discusses the differences between hard power and soft power in international relations. Hard power refers to coercion and military force, while soft power involves persuasion and attraction. It notes that after WWII, the US had significant hard and soft power, relying more on hard power after 9/11. Soft power involves attracting others through culture, values and policies. While hard power is sometimes necessary, many countries now focus on soft power approaches. The conclusion debates whether it is better for a country to be feared or loved in international relations.
Political communication 2012
Fauzi Bowo is running for re-election as governor of Jakarta in 2012 and is known by his nickname "Bang Kumis" which means "Mister Mustache". He responds to opponents who say the nickname refers to Jakarta being run-down and poor by insisting that Jakarta still needs his mustache to eliminate slums and poverty.
Geopolitical Theory
Geopolitical theory examines the relationship between geography, politics, and international relations. Key thinkers in geopolitical theory include:
- Alfred Thayer Mahan (1890) who argued that naval power was essential for trade and that countries with long coastlines and access to key sea lanes would be most powerful.
- Halford Mackinder (1904) who developed the heartland theory that whoever controlled the strategically located heartland region of Eurasia would control the world.
- Nicholas Spykman (1940s) argued that the inner crescent region (Western Europe, Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia) known as the rimland was most important, as it provided access to both sea and
State and nation
A state is defined as a community of people occupying a defined territory, with its own government, and sovereignty over internal affairs. It is composed of people, a territory, a government, and sovereignty. A state differs from a nation as a state is a political concept based on these elements, while a nation refers more to a shared social identity of a group of people. Several theories were discussed on the origins of the state, including the divine right theory which argues the ruler is ordained by God; the necessity theory which sees states forming through conquest; the paternalistic theory which views the state evolving from the family unit; and the social contract theory which proposes states form through voluntary agreement between people to organize governance.
02a types of international conflict
International conflicts can take several forms:
1) Interstate conflicts occur between two or more governments, such as the World Wars.
2) Intrastate conflicts are between a government and non-governmental party, like civil wars.
3) Intrastate conflicts with foreign involvement have one or both sides receiving support from other governments, as seen in the Spanish and Angolan civil wars.
4) Extra-systemic conflicts are between a state and non-state group outside its territory, such as colonial wars of independence.
C7 - International Conflicts
This chapter discusses different types of international conflicts including wars, disputes, and ideological clashes. It examines theories for what causes conflicts on individual, domestic, and global levels. Nationalism and ethnicity are identified as major forces that influence international relations and often lead to conflicts when groups demand statehood or adjusted borders. Ethnic conflicts sometimes involve ethnic cleansing or genocide. While religion and ideology can exacerbate tensions, they usually do not directly cause conflicts, which tend to have more underlying political or economic drivers.
Realist theories of global politics
This document provides an overview of realism as a theoretical perspective in international relations and global politics. It discusses two main versions of realism - classical realism and structural realism. Classical realism sees the pursuit of power as an innate human tendency, while structural realism views it as a result of the anarchic nature of the international system.
The document then contrasts offensive and defensive structural realism. Offensive realism believes states should maximize their power and pursue hegemony whenever possible to ensure survival. Defensive realism argues this is strategically foolish and states should seek an "appropriate" amount of power to avoid triggering a balancing response from other states. The document concludes by outlining how offensive and defensive realists
LA PRIMERA GUERRA MUNDIAL
La Primera Guerra Mundial fue un conflicto global entre las potencias aliadas y las potencias centrales que duró de 1914 a 1918. Fue causada por las rivalidades imperialistas y el sistema de alianzas en Europa. Involucró a 70 millones de soldados y tuvo consecuencias devastadoras en toda Europa y el mundo. Los tratados de paz como el de Versalles impusieron duras condiciones a los países derrotados y contribuyeron a un periodo de inestabilidad política en Europa en las décadas siguientes.
Climate change and its implications on national security
This document summarizes a presentation on climate change and its implications for national security. It discusses how climate change poses threats to global stability by deteriorating infrastructure, depressing economies and social systems, and challenging political stability. Specific threats include risks to human health, water and food security, and increases in extreme weather events. Weak states and low-lying island nations are most vulnerable. The document concludes that climate change challenges national security by exacerbating issues like poverty, migration, and resource conflicts, and calls for political action, adaptation strategies, and climate security initiatives to enhance nations' resilience.
Week 2
This document discusses the nature of war and conflict from theoretical perspectives. It examines Clausewitz's theory that war is an extension of politics and is influenced by the interaction between passion, chance and reason. The document also looks at Jomini's approach to understanding war through universal principles and strategies to achieve victory. Finally, it explores different approaches to analyzing and understanding conflict, including examining the sources of discontent, phases of escalation, and how conflicts can transform into more constructive relations or end in violence.
Role of bureaucracy in formulation of foreign policy.
Bureaucracies play an important role in foreign policy formulation according to the bureaucratic politics model. They generate the information and policy alternatives presented to policymakers. Bureaucracies also frame issues according to their interests and perspectives. Additionally, bureaucracies influence policy through negotiating their positions within the power structures of government. Allison applied this model to explain the Cuban Missile Crisis as the result of bargaining between government actors rather than a unified decision. However, critics argue it obscures the president's control over policy and implementation.
OCEE Capitalism Presentation PPT
Capitalism relies on private property, voluntary exchange, and an absence of coercion, but it is not inherently "pro-business" or "anti-government" and governments still play important roles. There are variations in how capitalism is implemented in different countries based on factors like the level of democracy and welfare policies. While capitalism has generally produced economic growth, there are ongoing debates about its relationship with democracy and tensions that can arise.
Max chinese civil war
The Chinese Civil War began in 1946 and ended in 1949 with the victory of Mao Zedong and the Communist Party of China over the Kuomintang nationalist party led by Chiang Kai-shek. The war resulted from the struggle for power and control of China between the nationalists and communists after their alliance against Japan in World War II. By 1948, many nationalist soldiers had defected to the communists who also had greater popular support from peasants. This helped the communists achieve several decisive victories over the nationalists. In 1949, communist forces took control of Beijing and mainland China, forcing the nationalists to retreat to Taiwan.
5 political theories
The document discusses competing theories about the relationship between the state and society. It examines how the state emerged from society but gained autonomy through tools like taxation, military, and bureaucracy. Sociological theories view society as prior to the individual, while pluralist theories see the state balancing competing interest groups. The development of the modern nation-state was influenced by industrialization, citizenship, and nationalism. Today, theories debate the balance between state power and individual rights, as well as how globalization is impacting the nation-state model.
U.s. foreign policy presentation
The document discusses U.S. foreign policy and how it is established. Foreign policy is created by the government to manage relationships with other countries and achieve national goals. The president can independently enact policy or propose legislation to Congress. Congress can influence policy through resolutions, restrictions, or denying funds. Key historical policies and organizations that shaped U.S. foreign policy include the Marshall Plan, NATO, and the United Nations. Current foreign policy aims to progress international relationships but also deals with conflicts in countries like Iran, Iraq and Israel, which can impact American public opinion.
Balance of power presentation
The document discusses balance of power theory, a realist international relations theory. According to the theory, national security is strengthened when military power is distributed so that no single state can dominate others. If one state becomes stronger, it may attack weaker neighbors, prompting threatened states to form defensive coalitions. When faced with an external threat, states can counter through balancing, bandwagoning, buck-passing, or bloodletting. Balancing involves increasing one's own military capabilities or forming alliances to counter a rising power. Bandwagoning means aligning with the stronger power, while buck-passing passes responsibility for countering the threat to another state. Bloodletting causes rivals to engage in prolonged conflict while remaining neutral.
Just war theory
This document outlines the principles of just war theory, which specifies conditions for determining whether going to war is just and how a war should be fought. It discusses two main categories: jus ad bellum, which covers the right to go to war, and jus in bello, regarding proper conduct in war. Under jus ad bellum are criteria like just cause, last resort, and proportionality. Jus in bello includes distinction between combatants and non-combatants, proportionality in attacks, and fair treatment of prisoners. The document examines how just war theory applies to issues like humanitarian intervention, the Iraq War, and terrorism.

Power refers to man's control over other minds and actions to influence their behaviors according to one's own ends. The document discusses different types of power including domestic and international power. It also examines the foundations and factors of power, listing geography, natural resources, technology, population, national character, economic development, political structure, ideological development, leadership, military preparedness, and diplomacy.
Elements of National Power

Gene sharp
The document discusses nonviolent action as a realistic alternative to violence in conflicts. It provides examples of nonviolent struggles throughout history against oppressive regimes, occupations, and dictatorships. The key points are:
- Nonviolent action has been successfully used across many cultures and eras as a powerful means of waging conflicts without violence.
- Examples include resistance to Nazi occupation, the US civil rights movement, anti-apartheid struggles in South Africa, and movements that overthrew dictatorships in the Philippines, Eastern Europe, and Serbia.
- For nonviolent action to be a viable alternative to violence, it needs to be able to effectively address "hard cases" like opposing oppression,
Gene sharp
The document discusses developing a realistic alternative to war and other violence for resolving acute conflicts where fundamental issues are at stake. It argues that nonviolent action provides a substitute for violence that is a powerful means of waging conflict without relying on war. Nonviolent action has been successfully used across many cultures and centuries in a variety of conflicts against oppression, dictatorship, invasion, and other threats. When fundamental issues are involved, nonviolent action can replace violence as the means of last resort for defending principles or existence without submitting to the opponent.
Conflict Theories by Abid Zafar
This document discusses conflict theories and terminology. It defines conflict and explores explanations for conflict including communication theory, human needs theory, and abuse of power. It then examines approaches for responding to conflict such as conflict management, mediation, and peacekeeping. Finally, it outlines ways of overcoming conflict including conflict resolution, peace-building, and conflict transformation.
Compare conflicts
This document discusses various types of conflicts, including intrapersonal, interpersonal, conscious vs unconscious, and implicit vs explicit conflicts. It also describes strategies for dealing with conflicts, such as avoiding, facing, reconciling, negotiating, and fighting. Reconciling involves finding mutual concessions through negotiation or mediation. Fighting is used for non-negotiable conflicts and aims to establish a winner and loser. While some conflicts seem non-negotiable, there may always be room for negotiation if the relationship is to be preserved. Cultural conflicts concern opposing value systems and beliefs.
Political science part xi
The document discusses key concepts in international politics and international law, including:
1) Concepts such as power, models which theoretically represent empirical data, and theories which systematically explain practical data.
2) Theories of international politics including realism, pluralism, Marxism, and idealism. Realism views politics through power politics while idealism focuses on legal norms.
3) Elements of power for states including demographic, geographic, economic, military, and leadership factors. Location, size, and climate affect a state's geographic power.
4) Models for analyzing international politics, such as the power politics model which focuses on competition, and political interdependence which recognizes state interdependence.
Political science part x
The document discusses key concepts in international relations including the study of relationships between countries, international organizations, and non-state actors. It also examines different theories of international relations such as realism and structuralism. Several moral issues in international relations are explored like war, terrorism, human rights, poverty, and environmental protection.
Week 8 - Counterterrorism and Counterinsurgency.pdf
1) Irregular warfare such as terrorism and insurgency are driven by a combination of religious, social, cultural, and economic factors but ultimately seek political goals.
2) There is no consensus on how to define irregular warfare due to disagreements over terminology and the blurring of lines between terrorism and insurgency. Terrorism involves small groups using violence against civilians for political aims, while insurgencies have broader popular support and seek to control territory.
3) Successful counterinsurgency and counterterrorism requires isolating irregular groups from popular support through addressing grievances, limiting their mobility, and offering amnesty to induce fighters to abandon violence.
Concept that breed violence
The document discusses different concepts related to conflict, including definitions of conflict and reasons why conflicts arise. It describes conflict as a divergence of interests or a belief that competing parties' goals cannot be achieved simultaneously. Conflicts result from perceived differences, the timing of satisfying aspirations, human interactions, and are not inherently violent. The document also discusses types of conflict resolution processes, including win-win resolution which aims for compromise, and win-lose resolution where one party gains an advantage. It provides examples of conflicts being resolved through coercive or non-coercive means.
Defence and Security
This document discusses various topics related to state security including theories of security, defense, law and order, and limitations of state protection. It outlines Hobbes' argument that the main task of the state is to provide physical security for citizens through a monopoly on force. It also discusses defense against external threats, conflict resolution methods, military spending, crime and punishment, product safety regulations, and challenges like terrorism and international crime. Realism and idealism are presented as competing theories of international relations with realism emphasizing self-interest and power.
SSTR - Opportunities and Challanges
The document discusses opportunities and challenges related to civil-military cooperation in Sri Lanka. It provides background on the conflict in Sri Lanka and overview of the LTTE. It emphasizes the importance of a holistic and long-term approach to building peace that addresses root causes, rather than just symptoms. It also discusses perceptions each side has of the other and guidelines for civil-military relations according to the IASC, including maintaining separation of roles and seeking military assistance only as a last resort.
Realism v Liberalism
This document provides an overview and critique of realism and liberalism as international relations theories. It notes that realism views states as rational actors seeking power and security, with a competitive human nature. Realism is criticized for ignoring non-state actors and non-military forces. Liberalism emphasizes interaction between states and other actors as leading to a more cooperative world, but is critiqued for downplaying the importance of wars and reducing predictability. The document concludes by framing an evaluation of structural realism and liberalism, suggesting strengths and weaknesses be weighed with supporting evidence.
Class-Lecture-4 conflict and development
This document discusses the role of development aid in conflict transformation. It outlines three main approaches: conflict settlement focuses on negotiated agreements but does not address underlying causes; conflict resolution aims to address root causes through process; and conflict transformation pursues long-term peacebuilding through outcomes, processes, and structural changes. The document also discusses strategies like do-no-harm and supporting local peacebuilding capacities. Overall, the role of development aid is to facilitate empowerment, community building, and inclusive decision-making processes in order to help societies manage conflicts nonviolently and establish stable, democratic institutions.
Public International Law ppt
Boko Haram is a local terrorist group in Nigeria that has adopted insurgency tactics. Their formal name translates to "People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad." They were nicknamed "Boko Haram" meaning "western education is forbidden." In 2013, the US designated them a terrorist organization due to fears they had developed links with other militant groups like al-Qaeda. A global campaign was launched for the release of kidnapped Chibok girls. They consider education an enemy to their ideology and represent concepts like non-international armed conflict and insurgency under international law.

The Utility of Hard and Soft Power in Counterterrorism
Hard power consists of coercive techniques that force other parties to change their behaviors regardless of their desire to do so.
Soft power consists of co-opting techniques that encourage other parties to change their behaviors because they view it is in their best interests to do so.
Military Hard Power
Military Retaliation/Reprisal
Military retaliation or reprisal refers to military action taken against an entity as punishment for acts that entity has already committed.
Military forces can target terrorist organizations, state-sponsors of terrorist organizations, or both, depending on the desired effect.
International law is generally understood to define the legal use of military reprisal when:
Peaceful redress has failed.
Retaliatory action results in damages proportional to those caused by the offending act and does not harm innocent people.
Occurs within a limited time period following the offending act, usually interpreted to be within seventy-two hours.
Military Preemption
Preemptive attack refers to military strikes in advance of a hostile act in order to prevent it from occurring, such as when an attack is deemed imminent, or to avoid injury should it occur, such as when an attack would result in catastrophic destruction even if its occurring it not deemed imminent.
While military preemption against terrorist organizations has its time and place, approaches relying on traditional criminal justice techniques or co-opting terrorist organizations into a legitimate political process has historically outperformed military preemption as an effective counterterrorism strategy (indeed, it is the most effective method so far).
Commando Raids
Unlike full military interventions or highly public air strikes against enemy targets, small groups of elite forces – often referred to as “commandos” – can be deployed to neutralize specific parts of a terrorist organization or its capabilities.
Besides their ability to be deployed discreetly, commando raids have historically high accuracy rates and place innocent people at must lower risk than larger scale attacks.
Assassinations
In the context of this course, assassinations refer to the targeted killing of individuals who represent key terrorist capabilities.
When governments employ assassinations, they generally do so only with careful consideration and often deny their use, as in most circumstances the public rarely feels that assassinations represent a counterterrorism method consistent with their values and the balance between security and justice.

Dispute resolution.pptx
This document discusses conflict resolution and alternative dispute resolution. It begins by defining conflict and explaining conflict theories, particularly focusing on Karl Marx's conflict theory about class struggles. It then discusses the five main conflict resolution strategies according to Thomas-Kilmann: avoiding, competing, accommodating, collaborating, and compromising. The document also summarizes Republic Act No. 9285, the Philippine Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 2004, which promotes the use of ADR. It defines key ADR terms like arbitration, mediation, mediation-arbitration and explains the state's policy of encouraging the use of ADR.

The document discusses armed violence reduction (AVR) and how it relates to development. It argues that AVR is too broad a concept to be useful for development programming. Instead, development programs are better suited to address specific types of armed violence, such as those related to conflicts, disarmament and demobilization, community policing, or illicit trafficking. The document also notes that different types of armed violence, such as conflict, criminal, and interpersonal violence, often occur simultaneously in fragile contexts and peacebuilding situations, requiring tailored approaches to different phenomena. Overall, the document concludes that AVR sits at the interface of security and development policy and is best addressed through specific concepts targeting particular armed violence issues rather than as a
Concept of Political Mediation in International Conflict Management
Conflicts are an integral part of any society, and negotiations are regarded as the most effective tool of conflict management or conflict resolution. In situations, when it is difficult for the parties to resolve the conflict by themselves due to several factors, a third party is involved in a negotiation process. Political mediation has been an effective way in resolving disputes in international relations. In this article, the author seeks to analyze conflict management, nature of political mediation and provide important insights of political mediation, its types, strategies, role of mediators in international conflict management and mediation bias in case of 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. Mavluda Nurmetova "Concept of Political Mediation in International Conflict Management" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-4 , June 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.compapers/ijtsrd42510.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.comhumanities-and-the-arts/political-science/42510/concept-of-political-mediation-in-international-conflict-management/mavluda-nurmetova

Politics, poverty and violent conflicts exploring their
This document discusses the complex relationship between politics, poverty, and violent conflict in Nigeria, focusing on the fourth republic. It argues that when political leaders allocate resources to enrich themselves rather than the public, it increases poverty and can fuel frustration, aggression, and ultimately violent conflict. The frustration-aggression theory is used as a framework, suggesting that when basic needs and expectations are not met, people may direct their anger towards those they hold responsible. The paper examines concepts like politics, poverty, conflict, and violence, and analyzes how misused political power can entrench poverty, which has direct and indirect links to conflict in Nigeria.
Nonviolence
This document provides an overview of nonviolence and nonviolent action. It discusses different types of nonviolence, including non-resistance, active reconciliation, moral resistance, selective nonviolence, and Gandhian nonviolence. It also examines two dimensions of nonviolent action: the tactical-strategic dimension and the pragmatic-ideological dimension. Finally, it provides examples of nonviolent action campaigns in Australia, noting that most have taken a tactical and pragmatic approach, using nonviolence as an effective means to achieve short-term goals, with differing views on issues like sabotage and secrecy.

Configurationalism
Configurationalism was developed by Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead, two students of Franz Boas. It views culture as an integrated system of traits that are uniquely patterned. While related to functionalism, configurationalism emphasizes that cultural traits diffuse between societies are adapted to fit the receiving culture. Benedict and Mead conducted ethnographic fieldwork to demonstrate how different cultures configure traits in unique ways to produce distinct patterns of enculturation and personality types, challenging views that biology determines human behavior.
Functionalism
Functionalism was an anthropological theory that challenged theories of unilinear evolution and historical particularism. It focused on understanding the role of cultural traits and practices in contemporary societies rather than seeking origins. There were two strands represented by Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown. Malinowski focused on present-day fieldwork and believed customs developed to fulfill universal biological needs. Radcliffe-Brown viewed historical explanations as conjectural and advocated examining the role of cultural practices in modern societies. He believed anthropology should be synchronic rather than diachronic.
Historical particularism
Franz Boas developed the theory of historical particularism, which rejects the idea that cultural traits follow single evolutionary paths. Through his research on immigrant populations in the US and indigenous groups in the Pacific Northwest, Boas demonstrated that human biology and culture are influenced by environmental and historical context rather than predetermined. Historical particularism stresses that cultural traits diffuse between societies but take on distinct histories as they are adapted locally. Comparisons of cultural traits across societies are not valid because their origins and meanings have been shaped by different historical processes.
Unilinear Evolutionism
1. 19th century anthropologists like Lewis Henry Morgan and Edward Tylor proposed theories of unilinear evolutionism, which argued that all human societies evolved through the same linear stages of development, from savagery to barbarism to civilization.
2. Morgan's 1877 book "Ancient Society" divided savagery and barbarism into distinct sub-stages based on technological and cultural achievements. However, his assumptions of a single evolutionary path and criteria for stages have been criticized.
3. Tylor applied evolutionary theory to religion, proposing societies evolved from animism to polytheism to monotheism and eventually science. He and Morgan were interested in "survivals," or practices that survived into
Differing definitions of terrorism
The document discusses different definitions and perspectives on terrorism. It presents several competing definitions from various news articles and outlines key issues around defining terrorism, including: methods/results used; who the perpetrators and targets are; motives; and points of view. Students are asked to develop their own "terrorism checklist" based on these issues and use it to evaluate different scenarios. The document emphasizes that there is no single agreed definition of terrorism and explores how the term is used for political advantage.
UWCCR GloPo Student Presentations (IMF)
The IMF was created in 1945 after WWII to prevent another Great Depression and promote international monetary cooperation. It is governed by 188 member countries and led by a Managing Director. The IMF aims to facilitate balanced global economic growth and make resources available to countries experiencing financial crises. It provides loans with conditions requiring economic reforms. While the IMF helped stabilize economies like China, programs in countries like Venezuela failed due to public backlash against imposed austerity measures, demonstrating how IMF involvement can infringe on national sovereignty.
Violent protest groups
The document discusses violent protest movements in Colombia, focusing on the two main leftist rebel groups: FARC and ELN. It provides a brief history of both groups, noting that FARC was formed in the 1960s by communist militants and peasants in response to political violence, while ELN was dominated by students, Catholics, and intellectuals. It also discusses right-wing paramilitary groups. While both FARC and ELN oppose US influence and privatization, FARC primarily operates rurally while ELN is more urban. Both are designated as terrorist organizations by the US, though some argue FARC has been able to sustain itself for decades through more than just criminal activities.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Fivefold typography of conflict
- 1. Conflict IB Global Politics UWC Costa Rica
- 2. Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research • The HIIK's annual publication Conflict Barometer describes the recent trends in global conflict developments, escalations, de-escalations, and settlements • Coup d’état, attempted coups d'états, as well as implemented measures of conflict resolution are also reported. • It is subdivided into five world regions and presents all present conflicts in detailed charts and short descriptions. • The methodological approach consists of the conflict definition and the measuring of the conflict intensity.
- 3. HIICR Definition of Conflict A political conflict is a positional difference between at least two assertive and directly involved actors regarding values relevant to a society which is carried out using observable and interrelated conflict measures that lie outside established regulatory procedures and threaten core state functions, the international order, or hold the prospect of doing so
- 4. Positional Difference and Conflict The essence of a political conflict lies in a contradiction, adequately represented by the concept of a “positional difference” A positional difference is a perceived incompatibility of ideas and beliefs
- 5. Elements of positional difference #1 • There must be at least two entities possessing intellectual capacity and vision, and who are capable of communicating. • Such an entity is called an actor
- 6. Elements of positional difference #2 • In order for the actors to sense incompatibility between their ideas and beliefs, there must be reciprocal actions and acts of communication between said actors. • These actions and acts of communication are called measures
- 7. Elements of positional difference #3 • Conflict actors are individuals or collectives that are relevant because they are taken into account by other conflict actors in their decision-making processes. Collective actors are characterized by their high degree of internal cohesion manifesting in a coherent structure of preferences. They include states, international organizations and non-state actors • Conflict measures are actions and communications carried out by a conflict actor in the context of a political conflict. • Conflict issues are material or immaterial goods pursued by conflict actors via conflict measures
- 9. Intensity Definition Dispute A political conflict is classified as a dispute if it meets all elements of the basic concept. Non-violent crisis A political conflict is classified as a non-violent crisis if physical violence is being implicitly or explicitly threatened to persons or property by at least one of the actors, or if one actor uses physical violence against property, without regarding the injury of people as acceptable. A threat of force is understood as a verbally or non-verbally communicated prospect of violent measures that is based on the conflict item. An acceptance of the injury of persons is present when the use of force against property includes the possibility of the injury of people but the violator is indifferent to this possibility. Violent crisis A political conflict is classified as a violent crisis when at least one actor uses force sporadically against persons - or things in case that physical violence against people is considered acceptable. The applied means and consequences altogether are limited. Limited war A political conflict is classified as a limited war when at least one actor uses force against persons and maybe things in a distinctive way. The applied means and consequences altogether are serious. War A political conflict is classified as a war when at least one actor uses force massively against persons and maybe things. The applied means and consequences altogether need to be framed as extensive.
