International Military Humanitarian Intervention as a Solution for International Conflict Management

Scholarly debates for and against military humanitarian intervention have raged on. For non-interventionists, nothing could justify unilateral or multilateral interventions against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of a state. For interventionists, states should not hold unto their sovereignty and grossly abuse the rights of their populations while the international community just watches. By looking at the arguments of both sides, this paper is a sweeping examination of the general concept of International Military Humanitarian Intervention as a last-resort solution for International Conflict Management. It starts with a historical overview of the humanitarian intervention concept, looking at the cause célèbre surrounding the legality of the Use of Force and other concerns surrounding humanitarian intervention. It further examines the concept of Responsibility to Protect, as a contemporary re-definition of humanitarian intervention and a gap bridger between sovereignty & military humanitarian intervention. While military intervention is the last-resort solution under the Responsibility to Protect, the latter provides an opportunity for the use of other diplomatic tools in conflict management. This paper also examines some successful and failed state case studies where military humanitarian intervention was deployed to resolve conflicts, ensure peace and alleviate mass sufferings. In addition, the paper analyses the challenges and criticisms of military humanitarian intervention. Finally, the paper agrees that military humanitarian intervention constitutes a last-resort solution for conflict management when it is done under the right authority of the UN Security Council, with the right intention, proportionality of force size and with reasonable prospects of success. This is to save human populations from gross mass atrocities when states have failed to do so. Discussions are also on other related issues that may support or challenge military humanitarian interventions such as: state sovereignty, the selectivity problem, political realism, and post-conflict peace building after interventions.

Otro Mundo es Posible - Transcultural Tongues and Times of Change

In an era of economic globalization shaped by hegemonic capitalism, resistance movements introduce different alternatives for a life beyond capitalism. The powerful and dominant system logic criticizes such movements for being utopian dreamers with no pragmatic sense of plausible social change. The 'ontology of the possible' for emancipatory social change is dominated by the coloniality of power and epistemic violence of modernity. Time becomes a powerful measurement tool developed by Western clocks in order to measure the successes and failures of social movements and categorize their impact on social change. Based on the analysis of an ethnographic research with the campaign for Marichuy in Mexico, I argue that this indigenous movement constructs a conception of time related to social change, which challenge the Western notion of a measurable evolutionary timeline. Such iconoclastic strategy of indeterminacy becomes their emancipatory potential, which envisions the possibilities for emancipatory social change. The purpose of this study is to contribute to a global conversation with scholarship and activism. Through a combination of theoretical literature and ethnographic data material, this thesis intends to challenge the status quo conception of time horizons for change

국제 핵 비확산 레짐과 중견국의 역할에 대한 연구: 한국의 사례

학위논문 (석사) -- 서울대학교 대학원 : 국제대학원 국제학과(국제협력전공), 2020. 8. 신성호.Contemporary global nuclear non-proliferation regime suffers from internal and external challenges where the regional and political fragmentation of the member states deteriorates the effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of middle powers in the non-proliferation regime through the case study of South Korea, then suggest pertinent policy measures to advance the middle power capacity and contribution to strengthening the regime. To this end, this paper first examines the theories relevant to the concept and adopts the three-level role theory model for the analysis. The following chapter delves into the history and structure of the non-proliferation regime, before analyzing the key issues of the contemporary landscape and the resolvable potential of middle powers against these challenges. Subsequently, this thesis analyzes South Korea as a nuclear middle power based on the established framework and its three criteria to verify South Koreas status as a nuclear middle power and evaluate its performance within the domain of international nuclear non-proliferation. This paper concludes with policy recommendations to consolidate South Koreas nuclear middle power status and bolster its capacity to contribute in strengthening the non-proliferation regime.최근의 국제 핵비확산 레짐은 회원국들의 정치적, 지역적 분열로 인해 대내외적으로 적지 않은 문제점을 보이고 있다. 본 논문의 주요 목적은 현대 국제 핵비확산 레짐의 주요 문제들과 한국의 사례 분석을 통해 레짐 내 중견국의 역할에 대해 연구하는 것이다. 또한, 이를 토대로 국제 핵비확산 레짐 강화와 중견국으로서의 역량을 증진 시킬 수 있는 정책 제언을 모색하였다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 본 논문은 가장 적합한 분석 모델 채택을 위한 중견국 이론과 역할론에 대한 이론적 논의를 행하였다. 이러한 논의를 참조하여, good international citizen, supporter of multilateralism, supporter of international nuclear order 라는 세가지 축을 중심으로 한 three-level 분석 틀을 설정하였다. 이어서 국제 핵비확산 레짐의 역사적 형성 과정과 핵비확산 전략 및 구조, 그리고 레짐 내 최근 문제점들에 대한 중견국의 역할에 대하여 분석하였다. 다음 장에서는, 앞에서 설정된 분석 틀에 입각하여 원자력 중견국으로서의 한국의 역량 평가와 기여 성과에 대해 실증적으로 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 본 논문은 사례 분석의 결과를 토대로 한국이 원자력 중견국으로서의 위상과 역량을 강화하고, 나아가 국제 핵비확산 레짐 강화에 더 효율적으로 기여할 수 있는 정책 방안들을 제시하였다.CHAPTER I.

Case Study of Lived Experiences: Three Male Peer Recovery Coaches at a Community-based, Spiritual, Residential Substance Abuse Recovery Program

Substance use disorder is one of the most universal clinical and public health concerns in the United States. A shift in the behavioral health field from short-term cures to long-term recovery found peer-based recovery services to be a notable asset. The peer recovery coach (PRC), experientially equipped through personal substance use disorder history and recovery, is the fastest growing role in peer services. Very limited research exists into the lived experience of PRCs and the impact of the PRC role on personal recovery. This investigation aimed to fill gaps in the literature related to PRCs’ lived experience and personal recovery. The theoretical orientation of the re-entry experience of an ex-offender into home, community, and work life supplied a framework for research into the re-entry experience of a PRC. The first research question was “What are the home, community, and work life re-entry experiences of a male PRC working at a community-based, spiritual, residential substance abuse recovery program?” The second research question explored how the home, community, and work life experiences influence PRCs’ present recovery. This qualitative case study collected data through semi-structured interviews. Data analysis themes demonstrated that the PRCs’ home, community, and work life experiences were residential stability, restored relationships, togetherness, recovery support, role, feelings, benefits, and challenges. Experiences that influenced personal recovery categorized as relationships, accountability, triggers, and recovery tools. PRCs, on a journey of personal recovery themselves, need clinical support; the findings of this study could strengthen clinical support systems

The Commercial Application of Missile/Space Technology, Parts 1 and 2

This report is concerned with the transfer of technology from missile and space programs to non-missile/space applications in the United States. It presents the findings of a University of Denver Research Institute study sponsored by a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant awarded in November 1961. Initial stimulation for the unsolicited proposal leading to this study came from a 1960 Brookings Institution report to NASA, Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs

Rhiz|comics: The Structure, Sign, and Play of Image and Text

This dissertation combines Gregory Ulmer\u27s post-criticism with multimodal composition resulting in a work that critiques the medium of comics in comics format. Six traditional text chapters forge a theoretical and practical foundation; punctuated within and without by occasional visual interludes and three comic sections. I advocate teaching multimodal composition through comics\u27 interplay of image and text
