Following a theoretical introduction, experts in ethnopolitics provide in-depth case studies, covering each of the major approaches to conflict management and settlement in different geographic regions.
Building Bridges Between Academia, Politics, and Media
Ludger Kühnhardt, a globally active political scientist, consultant, and publicist, provides vivid and personal insights into the people and sources that shaped him, the thought paths he has followed, and the impulses his work in research and teaching has triggered over decades. A biographical workshop report of high authenticity, bringing together what often appears unconnected in the midst of professional everyday life. Insights that were ahead of their time are repeatedly illuminated from different perspectives, and findings that have remained timelessly relevant are recalled. A vividly written work biography about the inner driving forces and external contexts of a cosmopolitan public intellectual as an enlightening and advisory catalyst in the interplay of science, politics, and journalism. The book reflects German, European, and global contemporary history from the mid-20th century to the third decade of the 21st century in a scholarly work and its classification as a testimony to political culture.
Managing and Settling Ethnic Conflicts
Interest in the study of ethnic conflict has grown over the past decade. This is partly due to its re-emergence in Central and Eastern Europe after the collapse of communism, as well as its prolonged and violent manifestation in Sri Lanka, East Timor, Ethiopia/Eritrea, the Middle East, Corsica and the Spanish part of the Basque country. Moreover, events in Kosovo and East Timor prompted the international community to engage in controversial and often difficult peace-making and peacekeeping operations. This collection seeks to explore the issues surrounding this type of conflict. Following a theoretical introduction, recognized experts in ethnopolitics provide in-depth case studies, covering each of the major approaches to conflict management and settlement in different geographic regions. The conclusion summarizes the findings and assesses future prospects. Thus, a comprehensive picture of the state of the discipline emerges alongside an overview of current ethnic conflicts worldwide.
A Changing Turkey
Turkey is a longstanding ally of the United States and Europe. After the demise of the Soviet empire, Turkey's strategic importance has changed but not diminished. Today Turkey is facing a completely different foreign and security policy environment. However, Turkey is also undergoing extraordinary internal change. Many established political truths of the Republic's seventy-five-year-long tradition are increasingly questioned by a growing part of its people. Above all, there is the rise of political Islam and the ensuing clash of ideologies between ""secularists"" and ""Islamists"" as well as the debate about Turkey's ""Kurdish reality."" Turkey's allies will have to respond to this development by adapting their policies. Nothing less than a re-evaluation and, eventually, a re-orientation in relations with both the United States and Europe is required if Turkey is to remain anchored in the West. This book undertakes a comprehensive overview and analysis of Turkey's internal and external changes and provides elements of a new European and American policy toward a key strategic partner.
