Væbnede konflikter

War and Peace in Contemporary India examines the importance of institutions and the role played by international actors in crucial episodes of India's strategic history.

This book explores the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) phenomenon - its impact and implications for Israel and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as well as the inextricable linkage between its anti-Israeli/anti-Zionist propaganda and antisemitism, unraveled from yet unknown perspectives.

This volume addresses the normative legitimacy of international institutions, asking how we can make sense of legitimacy claims of increasingly diverse global governance institutions and practices and how their legitimacy relates to and differs from state legitimacy.

Thi book emphasizes how a delegitimizing lexicon of terms and concepts is often used in highly politicized anti-Zionist scholarship. This volume focuses on this linkage between language and thought partly because it is long a staple focus for political theory and philosophy.

This book examines how wars end from a multidisciplinary perspective and includes enquiries into the politics of war, the laws of war, and the military and intellectual history of war.

Emerging technologies have inspired much speculative commentary, but academic scholarship can improve the discussion with disciplined theory-building and rigorous empirics. This book aims to contribute to the debate by exploring the role of technology in shaping international security.

I 2002 rasede den anden intifada på den besatte Vestbred, i Gaza og resten af det israelsk besatte Palæstina. I skyerne fra tåregas og lyden af kampvogne og skud mødtes en gruppe internationale aktivister. De var rejst dertil fra hele verden for at bære vidnesbyrd om palæstinensernes kamp og dokumentere Israels overgreb. Mødet blev begyndelsen på netværket International Solidarity Movement (ISM), der nu i 2022 har fungeret i tyve år. Den danske del af ISM går under navnet Palæstina Fredsvagter og har gennem tiden faciliteret hundredvis af frivilliges rejse til Palæstina, så de med egne øjne kunne bevidne konsekvenserne af israelsk besættelsen og støtte op om kampen for et frit Palæstina. Vi har her samlet beretninger fra flere end 30 forskellige fredsvagter, unge som gamle, der alle for altid er berørte af deres oplevelser i Palæstina. Vi håber, at deres vidnesbyrd vil tjene til inspiration for fremtidige generationer og bidrage til en voksende støtte for landet, der strækker sig fra floden til havet.

This book revisits and reframes the old, but active, debate on the relationship between criminality and civil war by bringing both the state and political power into the equation. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Political Power.

Invasionen af Ukraine rejser endnu engang spørgsmålet om, hvad det vil sige at være sikker. Kan ’sikkerhed’ løsrives fra klasser, magtrelationer, ulighed, udbytning og de klimaforandringer, der på diabolsk facon opsummerer hele den kapitalistiske verdensorden, der nu er i opbrud? Den vestlige kapitalistiske verdensordens opretholdelse først og fremmest af NATO, men NATO-landene har i årenes løb givet sig selv mandat til at udvide operationsområdet, både kvantitativt- geografisk (Afrika, Mellemøsten, Det indiske Ocean, Stillehavet) og nu også kvalitativt i form af klimaforandringerne og de folkevandringer, de vil give anledning til – ofrene bliver til sikkerhedsproblemer.Der hersker på den europæiske venstrefløj efter Ruslands invasion af Ukraine endog meget modstridende opfattelser af den sikkerhedspolitiske udvikling i Europa efter Murens fald og dermed også af Ukraine-krigens karakter. Redaktionen af denne bog er ingen undtagelse, men vi forsøger at redegøre for det, vi opfatter som to hovedsynspunkter under overskrifterne ’Ukraine har ret til selvbestemmelse og til at forsvare sig’ og ’Stop krigen omgående’.Fordi bogen forsøger at give et i videste forstand ’dansk’ perspektiv, så har Rigsfællesskabet naturligvis en fremtrædende plads for alle tre rigsdele har strategisk betydning, og hvor især Grønlands betydning har ændret sig.Invasionen af Ukraine har stillet venstrefløjen overfor spørgsmål, den ikke kan undgå at svare på: Hvordan ser det venstreorienterede og socialistiske bud på en troværdig sikkerhedspolitik ud? Denne bog kan ikke give færdige svar, men kan forhåbentligt med sine bud på en sikkerhedspolitik, sine faktuelle oplysninger og sin dokumentation kvalificere den nødvendige debat og eftertanke på venstrefløjen.

This book explores the practical and theoretical opportunities as well as the challenges raised by the expansion of transitional justice into new and 'aparadigmatic' cases.

Debating the War in Ukraine discusses whether the war in Ukraine could have been avoided, and, if so, how? In this dialogical book, the authors discuss nodal points of history in terms of counterfactuals and contrastive explanations, concluding by considering future possibilities.

"Rhetorical contests about how to frame war itself run alongside many armed conflicts. But how do different individuals utilize the frames around them? Written for anyone interested in conflict and peacebuilding, and based on over 100 in-depth interviews in Colombia, this book examines how gendered framing contests between warring groups affect long-term peace"--
