"Many efforts have been undertaken to address dysfunctional security sector governance in West Africa. However, security sector reform (SSR) has fallen short of radical – transformational – change to the fundamental structures of power and governance in the region. Looking more closely at specific examples of SSR in six West African countries, Learning from West African Experiences in Security Sector Governance explores both progress and reversals in efforts by national stakeholders and their international partners to positively influence security sector governance dynamics. Written by eminent national experts based on their personal experiences of these reform contexts, this study offers new insights and practical lessons that should inform processes to improve democratic security sector governance in West Africa and beyond. “This volume has markedly moved the ball forward in the continuous efforts to better understand SSR experiments, specifically in West Africa. Through what could be dubbed ‘street level analysis of SSR’ (their concept of “micro-dynamics of SSR”), the editors have introduced a perceptive and innovative vista through which to examine and take stock of SSR processes. A must read volume for academics and practitioners of SSR alike in order to integrate the lessons and add to their knowledge base the valuable insights contained in the various chapters.

Wie entstehen Konflikte, wie verlaufen sie und unter welchen Umständen lösen sie sich auf? Diese Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt der Einführung. Dabei werden in einem ersten Teil zunächst verschiedene Theorieansätze zum sozialen Konflikt betrachtet, und zwar strukturanalytische, funktionalistische, spieltheoretische, eskalationstheoretische und schließlich systemtheoretische Ansätze. Im zweiten Teil werden einige bislang wenig bearbeitete Aspekte zur Entstehung, Eskalation und Deeskalation von Konflikten bearbeitet. Das Ergebnis ist eine Einführung in die Soziologie des Konflikts, die in gut lesbarer Form innovative Entwicklungen des Gebiets präsentiert. Besprochen in: dvs-information, 18 (2003)

Gerry Fitt was a key political figure in Northern Ireland for over 20 years, yet there is no major historical evaluation of his contribution, nor of his legacy or place in the memory of the minority community there. Drawing on unpublished party and private papers, recently released Irish and British government papers, and interviews, this book studies the role of Gerry Fitt in the politics of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and examines the first decade of the party through the lens of his leadership.

Good business needs a peaceful and just world in which to operate and prosper. Likewise, peace thrives in a healthy economic environment. However, many companies - either directly or indirectly - are involved in the arms race and in a battle to exploit and control scarce resources. As a result of the ambiguous power of business, a timely reflection on its impact on war and peace is needed as well as a conscious pro-peace commitment. Business, Ethics and Peace gathers a selection of papers presented at the International SPES Conference Business for Peace, Strategies for Hope at Ypres, April 10-12, 2014. Among the many initiatives commemorating the centennial of World War I, this project focuses on the ethical need to prevent the next conflict. It interprets and presents peace as a holistic and evolving concept, defining the need for an ethical charter of human rights and responsibilities. The papers illustrate the impact of religion in peace management and present solutions and practices for corporate peace-building.
