Autocratic regimes in the Middle East will continue to coexist with capitalism. Six structural factors strengthen authoritarianism: oil rents, protectionism in a globalized economy, the threat of ethnic and other cleavages, external threats, patrimonial networks, and cultural traditions. Outside interventions to impose democracy will not succeed; at the same time Western support for non-democratic regimes undermines Western credibility. Only slow and careful cooperation with existing (secular and religious) groups might contribute to democracy in the long term.

Traduccion de Jacqueline Hernandez Vicent El Informe del Banco Mundial sobre el desarrollo en 1984 describe dos escenarios basicos designados: Casos de Alto y de Bajo Rendimiento (High and Low Cases), con el fin de mostrar la variedad de posibilidades que tiene la economia mundial para el periodo 1985-1995. El caso de Bajo Rendimiento indica lo que pasaria si los paises industrializados no hicieran nada por mejorar la actuacion que tuvieron durante la decada pasada en lo relativo al crecimiento del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB), al control de la inflacion y los deficits presupuestarios.

This article deals with the consequences of global governance for democratic decision-making. Does globalization lead to a decrease in opportunities for democratic decision-making to occur within nation states? Junne shows that increasing globalization leads to an increase in complex policy domains and thus an increase in the number of actors that need to be taken into consideration when making policy. This leads to four indirect consequences for democracy: changes in ‘party landscape’, regionalization of politics, polarization of society and huge volatility. Policy-making more and more takes place at large distance from the citizen, thus decreasing opportunities for direct democratic legitimacy.

Corporates face biotech revolution. Big corporations account for an increasingly large share of the R&D budget as regards biotechnologies. Their own constraints would seem to have led them to slow down rather than accelerate the applications of these new techniques. This could continue to be the case as long as the "Fordist" options that until now have influenced agricultural growth have not been called into question. The new research options could thereafter allow for a gradual change in the prédominant technological paradigms.

In 2006 Pax Christi Netherlands succeeded in establishing contacts between the Government of Uganda and the Lord's Resistance Army as the first step in a process that should have led to a negotiated solution of a war that had lasted for almost twenty years and that had had devastating humanitarian and economic effects on the population of the northern Uganda. The article describes and analyzes the dilemmas faced by the peacemakers when the International Criminal Cou rt issued warrants to arrest the very persons in the LRA leadership with whom Pax Christi was talking; the challenge of having to deal with overwhelming publicity in a process that could only benefit from utmost confidentiality and a low profile; the competition with other civil; society organizations that felt entitled to also play a leading role in the negotiations; the mental agility required to keep a conversation going between a diverse and divided LRA delegation and a united group of government hardliners and finally the challenge of dealing with state actors that were unable to perceive the added value of a role of a civil society actor in the mediation process - leading to Pax Christi's exit from the talks more than a year before these definitively collapsed. The article concludes with a plea for cooperation between governmental and non-governmental actors in negotiations between asymmetrical adversaries A number of concrete suggestions are made as to how to optimize this cooperation.

The typical African entrepreneur is a necessity entrepreneur, who works in the informal sector on a small piece of land. Young people would like to be a successful entrepreneur, but hesitate to start a formal enterprise. Their role models are different. Entrepreneurship in Africa has to face more uncertainty than elsewhere, because of the five “C”s: corruption, crime, conflict, competition, and climate change. High uncertainty leads to short-term time horizons. Other constraints include limited education, lack of finances, and bad infrastructure. If these limitations were addressed on a large scale, an enormous entrepreneurial potential could be unleashed.

Die internationale Schuldenkrise habe, so betonen Vertreter internationaler Organisationen und Banken, an Schärfe verloren. Die Situation sei unter Kontrolle. Kritischere Stellungnahmen sind von ihnen auch nicht zu erwarten. Öffentlich geäußerte Befürchtungen wichtiger Akteure könnten leicht zur »self-fulfilling prophecy« werden. Die beschwichtigenden Stellungnahmen können jedoch nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, daß die Probleme nicht gelöst sind. Langfristig hängt die Zahlungsfähigkeit der Entwicklungsländer von ihrer Fähigkeit ab, sich durch zunehmende Exporte die Devisen zu erwirtschaften, die sie für den Schuldendienst benötigen. Entweder müßte sich der Trend zu einer »neuen internationalen Arbeitsteilung«fortsetzen, in deren Rahmen ein wachsender Teil der Industrieproduktion für den Weltmarktin Entwicklungsländern angesiedelt wäre (F röbel, Heinrichs, Kreye 1977). Oder die Nachfrage nach Rohstoffen aus den Entwicklungsländern (oder auch deren Preis) müßte nachhaltig steigen. Nur b...

De 'nieuwe oorlogen' van de afgelopen 20 jaar onderscheiden zich van oorlogen in het verleden. Oorlogen vinden nauwelijks meer plaats tussen landen maar vooral binnen landen. De meeste gewapende conflicten in de afgelopen decennia zijn burgeroorlogen geweest. Spelen internationale betrekkingen dan amper meer een rol bij interne conflicten? Gerd Junne toont aan de hand van tien internationale ontwikkelingen aan waarom dat niet zo is.
