This volume provides researchers and students with a discussion of a broad range of methods and their practical application to the study of non-state actors in international security.All researchers face the same challenge, not only must they identify a suitable method for analysing their research question, they must also apply it. This volume prepares students and scholars for the key challenges they confront when using social-science methods in their own research. To bridge the gap between knowing methods and actually employing them, the book not only introduces a broad range of interpretive and explanatory methods, it also discusses their practical application. Contributors reflect on how they have used methods, or combinations of methods, such as narrative analysis, interviews, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), case studies, experiments or participant observation in their own research on non-state actors in international security. Moreover, experts on the relevant methods discuss these applications as well as the merits and limitations of the various methods in use. Research on non-state actors in international security provides ample challenges and opportunities to probe different methodological approaches. It is thus particularly instructive for students and scholars seeking insights on how to best use particular methods for their research projects in International Relations (IR), security studies and neighbouring disciplines. It also offers an innovative laboratory for developing new research techniques and engaging in unconventional combinations of methods.This book will be of much interest to students of non-state security actors such as private military and security companies, research methods, security studies and International Relations in general.

The third edition of this popular core textbook provides wide-ranging coverage of the structure, internal working, policies and performance of international organizations such as the UN, EU, IMF and World Bank. Such organizations have never been so important in addressing the challenges that face our increasingly globalised world. This book introduces students to theories with which to approach international organizations, their history, and their ability to respond to contemporary issues in world politics from nuclear disarmament, climate change and human rights protection, to trade, monetary and financial relations, and international development. Underpinning the text is the authors'' unique model that views international organizations as actual organizations. Reacting to world events, political actors provide the ''inputs'' which are converted by the political systems of these organizations (through various decision-making procedures) into ''outputs'' that achieve varying levels of real-world impact and effectiveness.This is the perfect text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of politics and international relations taking courses on International organization and global governance, as well as essential reading for those studying the UN, the EU and Globalization. New to this Edition:- Draws on the most recent research in the field and considers some of the significant world events of the last decade to ensure that the book is completely up to date.- Two separate chapters considering Trade and Development, and Finance and Monetary Relations respectively.- Fully accounts for the challenges to international organizations by the emerging powers, the Trump administration and Brexit

Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine verständliche und umfassende Einführung in die Grundzüge und die Analyse der heutigen Weltpolitik. Zu diesem Zweck verbindet es eine systematische Untersuchung des Wandels weltpolitischer Rahmenbedingungen und Akteurskonstellationen mit der theoriegeleiteten Analyse der kollektiven Bearbeitung globaler Herausforderungen in den zentralen Feldern „Sicherheit“, „Wohlfahrt“ und „Herrschaft“. Veränderungen der internationalen Machtstruktur, der Prozess der Globalisierung und der Wandel weltpolitischer Leitideen haben, zusammen mit dem Auftreten neuer politikmächtiger Akteure im globalen System, zu neuen grenzüberschreitenden Problemen geführt und alte verschärft. Zu deren Bearbeitung sind verschiedenartige Steuerungs- und Regulierungsarrangements auf globaler Ebene auch jenseits des zwischenstaatlichen Multilateralismus entstanden. Das Lehrbuch zeigt auf, welche Formen von Weltregieren (Global Governance) in den verschiedenen Problemfeldern zu beobachten sind, wie ihr Auftreten zu erklären ist und inwiefern sie geeignet erscheinen, transsouveräne Probleme – wie z.B. die Verbreitung von Massenvernichtungswaffen, den transnationalen Terrorismus, ausgeprägte globale Wohlstandsdisparitäten, den Klimawandel oder systematische Menschenrechtsverletzungen – effektiv und legitim zu bearbeiten.

Internationale Organisationen mit globaler oder regionaler Reichweite (z.B. UN, IWF, Weltbank, WTO, EU) spielen eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle bei der Schaffung und Implementierung von internationalen Normen und Regeln, mithin bei Global Governance. Die Sicherheit, das ökonomische Wohlergehen, der Schutz der Menschenrechte und die ökologischen Lebensbedingungen von Menschen weltweit werden von der Fähigkeit bzw. Unfähigkeit internationaler Organisationen, Kooperation und Regieren jenseits des Nationalstaates möglich zu machen und zu stabilisieren, beeinflusst. Das Lehrbuch will die Leserin bzw. den Leser daher theoretisch informiert und empirisch fundiert mit den Entstehungsbedingungen, der Entwicklung, Funktionsweise und den Tätigkeiten internationaler Organisationen vertraut machen. Es führt in die wichtigsten Theorien über internationale Organisationen ein und bietet einen historischen Überblick über internationale Organisationen in verschiedenen Politikfeldern. Das Lehrbuch analysiert ferner die Akteure, Strukturen und Prozesse, die die Entscheidungsfindung in internationalen Organisationen prägen. Schließlich werden die Tätigkeiten eines breiten Spektrums internationaler Organisationen und deren Beitrag zur kooperativen Bearbeitung grenzüberschreitender Probleme in den Sachbereichen „Sicherheit“, „Wirtschaft“, „Umwelt“ und „Menschenrechte“ untersucht.
