Yes, We Are Stupid in America! A Former Principal’S Reality Check on Why Our Public Schools Are Failing【電子書籍】[ Dr. Vicky Wells ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Students in countries such as Finland, South Korea, and Singapore continue to outperform their peers in America. But that hasnt stopped the United States government from spending more money on education as achievement plummets.</p> <p>Dr. Vicky Wells, a former school principal, explores whats going on at the federal, state, and local levels so that members of the public can hold bureaucrats accountable. In a series of reality checks, she explains how to</p> <p>meet the growing crisis head on;<br /> equip students with the necessary skills upon graduation;<br /> make decisions based upon the input of real-life educators; and<br /> ignore politics in order to best serve students.</p> <p>Teachers and parents trust leaders to make decisions based on whats best for the students. Even so, all too often, decision making seems to be more about politics and quid pro quoand this does not best serve students, educators, or the community.</p> <p>The educational system continues to decline, and students keep dropping out or graduating without the knowledge they need to succeed. Its time to stop constantly changing curriculum and start focusing on the real problems confronting teachers and students.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 468円

Alterations of Excitation-Contraction Coupling in the Failing Human Heart【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Alteration of excitation-contraction coupling in the failing human heart was deemed an interesting subject for a dialogue between basic scientists and clinical researchers in continuation of previous Gargellen Conferences concerned with the function of the normal and failing human myocardium. In 1987 basic mechanisms and clinical implications of then new insights into cardiac energetics was followed by a comprehensive review of inotropic stimulation and myocardial energetics in 1989. Here, we undertook a re-evaluation of the principles of inotropic stimulation and of its potential therapeutic value, based on new observa tions from experiments with human myocardium. In 1992 the risk due to myocardial phenotype change as a consequence of adaptation in heart failure was published. Here, alterations of subcellular structures and functions as a consequence of chronic heart failure, summarized as phenotype change, could be described as an essential characteristic of the failing human myocardium. This topic was discussed in greater depth in the volume "Cellular and Molecular Alterations in the Failing Human Heart", considering both the sarcolemma and the phosphodiesterases, as well as excitation-contraction coupling and contractile proteins, extracellular matrix, and mitrochondrial function.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,076円

Worth Dying For Canada's Mission to Train Police in the World's Failing States【電子書籍】[ Terry Gould ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Timed to the 25th anniversary celebration of the RCMP's first mission to train police in the world's failing states, a brilliantly reported account of a year in the life of our</strong> <strong>"CivPol" missions in Afghanistan, Palestine and Haiti, and an intimate portrait of the idealism and courage our police officers bring to this complicated and dangerous work. Brought to us by the only journalist ever granted unfettered access to these missions.</strong><br /> As Canadians' sense of pride in their country's "blue helmet" global peacekeeping role fades away, little attention is paid to the RCMP's International Peace Operations Branch, a unit that travels to the world's most desperate places to help train corrupt police forces in ethical practices. With exclusive access to the Canadian CivPol (civilian police-trainers) units in Afghanistan, Palestine and Haiti, Terry Gould gives us the untold story of the extraordinary individuals behind these missions: the city, provincial and Mounted Police officers who volunteer and the cops they set out to train in law enforcement ideals amidst the entrenched violence and oppression unique to each troubled nation. Gould explores the hope, heartbreak and tragedy experienced by Canadian cops as they try to lend the right kind of help by establishing trust with local cops and civilians against a history of Western colonial exploitation. And he shows us why the creation of an ethical police force is essential to the renewal of these failing states, and to a peaceful future for all of us. RCMP Superintendent Joe McAllister, a veteran of 4 Afghan training missions, tells the author why he and his colleagues volunteer for such hazardous assignments: they believe in a code of service that is worth dying for.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,419円

Red Line American Foreign Policy in a Time of Fractured Politics and Failing States【電子書籍】[ P. J. Crowley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Over the past quarter century, four consecutive American presidentsーtwo Democrat, two Republicanーhave spent more time, diplomatic capital, and military resources on Iraq than any other country in the world. Much as the Vietnam syndrome cast a long shadow over American security policy in the decades after the end of the Vietnam War, Iraq provides the commanding narrative for this generation of American leaders. In this book, former Deputy Secretary of State P. J. Crowley, one of America’s most insightful national security commentators, unpacks the legacy of American triumphs and failures in Iraq . He argues that presidents have fallen victim to the Iraq Syndromeーthe disconnect between politics, policy, strategy, and narrativeーthat has hampered America’s foreign policy in the Middle East and hotspots throughout the world. In order to maintain America’s global leadership role, Crowley argues that the next president must realign American’s national security politics, policies, strategies, and narrative for the long term.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,699円

On the List Fixing America's Failing Organ Transplant System【電子書籍】[ Steve Farber ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Two families came together in the waiting room of a Denver hospital on May 11, 2004, to await kidney transplants for loved ones. In the first operation, Gregg Farber, 32, a real estate executive, donated a kidney to his father, Steve, a 60-year-old Denver lawyer and power broker. In the second, Guatemalan refugee and landscaper Ernesto Delaroca, also 32, donated a kidney to his sister Sandra, 19, a restaurant worker.</p> <p>The stories of how the Farber and Delaroca families made their separate journeys to the operating room offers insight into the hazards and inequities of a cobbled-together system that each year leaves more than 98,000 gravely ill Americans on the waiting list for a life-saving transplant. Steve Farber's experience inspired him to write <em>On the List</em> with Harlan Abrahams. They examine the ethical, legal, political, and economic debates over organ transplant policies, expose the gray market for transplants in Third World countries, and propose solutions to one of the world's most pressing health issues.</p> <p>An informative and inspiring guide to those who face transplant operations, the book is also a call to reform a system that is truly, and fatally, flawed.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,497円

How Will Capitalism End? Essays on a Failing System【電子書籍】[ Wolfgang Streeck ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>After years of ill health, capitalism is now in a critical condition. Growth has given way to stagnation; inequality is leading to instability; and confidence in the money economy has all but evaporated.</p> <p>In <em>How Will Capitalism End?</em>, the acclaimed analyst of contemporary politics and economics Wolfgang Streeck argues that the world is about to change. The marriage between democracy and capitalism, ill-suited partners brought together in the shadow of World War Two, is coming to an end. The regulatory institutions that once restrained the financial sector's excesses have collapsed and, after the final victory of capitalism at the end of the Cold War, there is no political agency capable of rolling back the liberalization of the markets.</p> <p>Ours has become a world defined by declining growth, oligarchic rule, a shrinking public sphere, institutional corruption and international anarchy, and no cure to these ills is at hand.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,054円

Firm Commitment Why the corporation is failing us and how to restore trust in it【電子書籍】[ Colin Mayer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The corporation is one of the most important and remarkable institutions in the world. It affects all our lives continuously. It feeds, entertains, houses and, employs us. It generates vast amounts of revenue for those who own it and it invests a substantial proportion of the wealth that we possess. But the corporation is also the cause of immense problems and suffering, a source of poverty and pollution, and its failures are increasing. How is the corporation failing us? Why is it happening? What should we do to restore trust in it? While governments are subject to repeated questioning and scrutiny, the corporation receives relatively little attention. Firm Commitment provides a lucid and insightful account of the role of the corporation in modern society and explains why its problems are growing. It gives a fresh perspective on the crises in financial markets, developing countries, and the environment. Based on decades of analysis and research, it describes a new approach to thinking about the firm which not only stops it destroying us but turns it into the means of protecting our environment, addressing social problems, and creating new sources of entrepreneurship and innovation. It sets out an agenda for converting the corporation into a twenty-first century organization that we will value and trust. It takes you on a journey that starts in the Galapagos, ends in Ancient Egypt, and in the process brings you to a new level of appreciation of the economic world we inhabit.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,587円

Edge of Chaos Why Democracy Is Failing to Deliver Economic Growth-and How to Fix It【電子書籍】[ Dambisa Moyo ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>From an internationally acclaimed economist, a provocative call to jump-start economic growth by aggressively overhauling liberal democracy</strong></p> <p>Around the world, people who are angry at stagnant wages and growing inequality have rebelled against established governments and turned to political extremes. Liberal democracy, history's greatest engine of growth, now struggles to overcome unprecedented economic headwinds -- from aging populations to scarce resources to unsustainable debt burdens. Hobbled by short-term thinking and ideological dogma, democracies risk falling prey to nationalism and protectionism that will deliver declining living standards.</p> <p>In <em>Edge of Chaos</em>, Dambisa Moyo shows why economic growth is essential to global stability, and why liberal democracies are failing to produce it today. Rather than turning away from democracy, she argues, we must fundamentally reform it. <em>Edge of Chaos</em> presents a radical blueprint for change in order to galvanize growth and ensure the survival of democracy in the twenty-first century.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,030円

Joe Biden Tweets During the First Year of His Failing Presidency, Volume One Reversing Trump, while Dividing and Destroying America, January through June 2021【電子書籍】[ Gary F. Zeolla ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Joseph R. Biden Jr. was inaugurated as President of the United States (POTUS) on January 20, 2021. In his inauguration speech, Biden gave glowing remarks about his goal being to unite America and to “Build Back Better.” But in fact, his main goal seems to have been to reverse everything his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, accomplished during his four years as President. Never mind if a policy was benefiting America, if Trump did it, it had to be reversed. This reversal of Trump’s policies did little to unite and benefit America. Instead, Biden’s policies began alienating the half of Americans who supported Trump for those very policies. By reversing Trump’s beneficial policies, Biden began destroying America, as his presidency began to be failing. Biden’s early actions also set the stage for more failures later in his presidency, so it is important to remember them. On the day Biden was inaugurated, he took over the @POTUS account on Twitter and began tweeting profusely. His tweets promoted his “Build Back Better” policies. But with them being a reversal of Trump’s policies, they were often subtle attacks on Trump and his supporters. This two-volume set reproduces Biden’s tweets for the first year of his presidency. It also includes my comments I posted on Twitter in response to his tweets. Some of my comments were added later and reflect later developments. I have also added an occasional “Extended Comment” to provide further context and commentary to some tweets. This Volume One of this two-volume set records all of Biden’s tweets from January 20, 2021 to the end of July 2021. Volume Two will cover his tweets from the beginning of August 2021 to January 20, 2022.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 560円

Grenzen und M?glichkeiten der VN in der Konfliktverh?tung und Konfliktbeilegung im Angesicht von 'failing-states' in Afrika am Beispiel Somalia【電子書籍】[ Wolf Langecker ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Afrika, Note: 3,0, Freie Universit?t Berlin (Otto-Suhr-Institut), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: .... Ist ein friedlicher afrikanischer Kontinent den Mitgliedern der VN nicht wichtig genug um einzugreifen? Oder ist das System der VN im Rahmen des peace-buildings nicht in der Lage rechtzeitig und effektiv einzugreifen? Nach der Entlassung der afrikanischen 'Staaten' in die Unabh?ngigkeit ist Afrika auch oft zum Spielball und Spielplatz der am sog. 'kalten Krieg' beteiligten Gro?m?chte USA und UDSSR geworden (s. Zaire u.A.). Aufgrund der heraus- ragenden Stellung der beiden Gro?m?chte, vor allem im VN-Sicherheitsrat (Veto- M?chte) und ihrer machtpolitischen Differenzen waren die VN gr??tenteils nicht in der Lage, ja es war ihnen teils nahezu unm?glich (oder egal?)5, ein einheitliches, Afrika befriedendes Vorgehen planen oder gar durchsetzen zu k?nnen. Die Folge fehlender staatlicher Strukturen bzw. von Staatszerfall und der oft damit einher-/ vorhergehenden Miss- und Vetternwirtschaft ist oft Armut, was wiederum, nach dem ehem. US-Pr?sidenten Truman 'den N?hrboden von Terror und Gewalt bildet'. In Anbetracht der weltweiten Zunahme terroristischer Aktivit?ten und Gefahren muss Afrika und v.a. den sog. failing-states mehr Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt werden. ...... Die Analyse der M?glichkeiten, die am Beispiel des Somalischen B?rgerkriegs vollzogen wird, stellt zwei Fragen in den Mittelpunkt, n?mlich ob und wie die VN ?berhaupt in der Lage bzw. ob die Mitgliedsstaaten der VN, vor allem in Gestalt der Sicherheitsrats-Mitglieder, auch willens sind, dauerhaften Frieden in Afrika zu schaffen und zu bewahren. Dabei wird davon ausgegangen, dass die VN kein eigentlicher Akteur sind, sondern nur die Struktur f?r das Handeln der Mitglieds- staaten vorgibt, welche von eben diesen auch beeinflusst und ver?ndert werden kann.....</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 914円

Putin's Russia Life in a Failing Democracy【電子書籍】[ Anna Politkovskaya ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A searing portrait of a country in disarray and of the man at its helm, from "the bravest of Russian journalists" (<em>The New York Times</em>)</strong></p> <p>Hailed as "a lone voice crying out in a moral wilderness" (<em>New Statesman</em>), Anna Politkovskaya made her name with her fearless reporting on the war in Chechnya. Here, she turned her steely gaze on the multiple threats to Russian stability, among them Vladimir Putin himself.</p> <p>Rich with characters and poignant accounts*, Putin's Russia* depicts a far-reaching state of decay. Politkovskaya describes an army in which soldiers die from malnutrition, parents must pay bribes to recover their dead sons' bodies, and conscripts are even hired out as slaves. She exposes rampant corruption in business, government, and the judiciary, where everything from store permits to bus routes to court appointments is for sale. And she offers a scathing condemnation of the war in Chechnya, where kidnappings, extra-judicial killings, rape, and torture beget terrorism rather than fighting it. Finally, Politkovskaya denounces both Putin, for stifling civil liberties as he pushes the country back to a Soviet-style dictatorship, and the West, for its unqualified embrace of the Russian leader.</p> <p>Sounding an urgent alarm, <em>Putin's Russia</em> is a gripping portrayal of a country in crisis and the testament of a great and intrepid reporter, who received death threats and survived assassination attempts for her scathing criticism of the Kremlin. Tragically, on October 7, 2006, Politkovskaya was shot and found dead in an elevator in her Moscow apartment building. After several years of investigations, five men were imprisoned for her murder.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,936円

Cardiovascular Health How Conventional Wisdom is Failing Us【電子書籍】[ Jay N. Cohn M.D. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>We all think we are well-informed about cardiovascular health. But is what we think we know really accurate? Here, a renowned cardiologist describes the biological processes leading to heart and blood vessel disease. He challenges the conventional view that risk factors, poor diet, and lack of exercise are the biggest culprits. Each of these widely-described risk factors is individually discussed and Dr. Cohn concludes that their role in affecting cardiovascular health is often overstated. He promotes a greater emphasis on an individual’s personal and largely inherited cardiovascular health by simple assessment of the function and structure of the arteries and heart. By identifying early disease likely to progress he advocates for early intervention, often with drug therapy, to slow disease progression and prevent symptoms of cardiovascular disease.</p> <p>ThroHe concludes that health care providers can better treat patients with medications that slow the biological processes that contribute to the development of artery and heart disease. These medications lower blood pressure and cholesterol, but their main effect is to slow progression of disease even in those whose blood pressure and cholesterol levels are not elevated. He describes a strategy for identifying and treating these early abnormalities before symptoms develop. Ultimately, early diagnosis and treatment, he argues, can contribute to better prevention and the slowing of cardiovascular disease progression that would otherwise shorten our lives.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,801円

The Supreme Court on Unions Why Labor Law Is Failing American Workers【電子書籍】[ Julius G. Getman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Labor unions and courts have rarely been allies. From their earliest efforts to organize, unions have been confronted with hostile judges and antiunion doctrines. In this book, Julius G. Getman argues that while the role of the Supreme Court has become more central in shaping labor law, its opinions betray a profound ignorance of labor relations along with a persisting bias against unions. In <em>The Supreme Court on Unions</em>, Getman critically examines the decisions of the nation’s highest court in those areas that are crucial to unions and the workers they represent: organizing, bargaining, strikes, and dispute resolution.</p> <p>As he discusses Supreme Court decisions dealing with unions and labor in a variety of different areas, Getman offers an interesting historical perspective to illuminate the ways in which the Court has been an influence in the failures of the labor movement. During more than sixty years that have seen the Supreme Court take a dominant role, both unions and the institution of collective bargaining have been substantially weakened. While it is difficult to measure the extent of the Court’s responsibility for the current weak state of organized labor and many other factors have, of course, contributed, it seems clear to Getman that the Supreme Court has played an important role in transforming the law and defeating policies that support the labor movement.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,064円

Why America Is Failing【電子書籍】[ George Burdette Jr ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Money<br /> What is money? We spend a very large part of our lives chasing the very thing we know so little of. When we are asked what we do, the answer usually is our occupation, not recreation. We place ourselves at the mercy of a system far removed from our daily lives.<br /> Money is defined as: “something (as metal currency) accepted as a medium of exchange.” Money is freedom, a means to an end, it represents time saved for the participation in the preservation and safeguarding of both. Metal is used as a basis for currency ensures durability, divisibility, and transportability when storing your excess labor in the form of wealth. The value of industry and its fruits are recognized, “by promoting the introduction and circulation of the precious metals, those darling objects of human avarice and enterprise…” 1<br /> Article I. Section 8 Clause 5 of the Constitution authorizes Congress “To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.” The U.S. Treasury prints paper money with “The Unites States of America” and “Reserve Note” on it. However, “from the pestilent effects of paper money on the necessary confidence between man and man…”, “The power to make anything but gold and silver a tender in payment of debts, is withdrawn from the States, on the same principle with that of issuing paper currency.” 2<br /> For hundreds of years people have been trying to use alchemy to turn lead into gold. The modern equivalent is our servants printing paper money. The Federal Reserve is the agent of circumvention around the intent of the prevention of the existence of a government run bank. This fiat (fake) currency is printed by the U.S. Government for an independent, centralized banking system for distribution; an act that seems to be in clear violation of Article X. of the Bill of Rights, which states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The authority afforded to the government has already been specifically outlined in the Constitution in reference to currencies. Any additional attempt to control the value of labor will only prove detrimental to the property rights of the citizenry.<br /> This paper currency is transferred to the Federal Reserve, which then places it into the market knowing full well this action will reduce your buying power. This technique has been described as “magical” by participants in the banking system. This magical event is nothing more than using one dollar as collateral to lend nine, which is borrowed and re-lent in a cycle that fabricates counterfeit wealth from nothing more than ones and zeros in the Federal Reserve computers; an event that places you on a type of hamster wheel, for the purpose of creating wealth for those who run the banks, and those who own the stock.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 120円

Women and the Criminal Justice System Failing Victims and Offenders?【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Bringing together academics and professionals, this edited collection considers key issues in current criminal justice policy and practice related specifically to women to answer the important question: are women being failed by the criminal justice system? In a landscape where women’s involvement in the criminal justice system still tends to be ignored or lost in discussions about men, contributors place special emphasis on women as both victims and offenders. The chapters cover a wide range of topics relating to women and crime, including: violent and sexual victimisation, violent offending, sentencing and punishment, and rape myths.</p> <p>Since the peak of feminist criminal justice scholarship in the 1990s, the place of women in the criminal justice system has arguably slipped down the agenda and the authors of this collection draw on original research to make the compelling case for a swift remedy to this. Drawing on recent academic studies and professional experience to set an agenda for future research ? as well as legal and policy reform ? this book injects new life into the dialogue surrounding women and the criminal justice system. Innovative and timely, this collection of essays holds broad appeal to academics and practitioners, as well as students of criminology, criminal justice and law, and all those with an interest in feminism, justice, and inequality.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 18,231円

Sudan at the Crossroads - Between Consolidation and a Failing State Between Consolidation and a Failing State【電子書籍】[ Jens Parnow ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: 1,0, Helmut Schmidt University - University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg (Fakult?t f?r Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften), course: Staatszerfall und Konflikt?konomien in Afrika, language: English, abstract: The recent Darfur crisis and the humanitarian catastrophe have put some public view on the Sudan. Voices to intervene have been raised and quick connections to the massacres in Rwanda in 1994 are made. The fact that the Sudanese people have been suffering from almost 40 years of intermitted civil war seems to play at best an inferior role. Despite the neglect by a vast majority of the public the southern regions are just recovering from devastating civil war and peace is still fragile. The transition to a democratic system is far from being realized, droughts have increased nutrition problems in the South and the revenues from economic growth are distributed very unevenly. In addition to these problems, neighbouring states are either dictatorships with rivalling interests, in a period of uncertain transition or former stable states such as Chad and Kenya which are tumbling towards domestically crisis. Nevertheless to understand the aims of the opposing actors and how these conflicts were able to develop it is necessary to have a close look on Sudan's recent past. The essay covers Sudan's way from a British colony to its independence, followed and accompanied by two severe civil wars and their reasons up to the Darfur crisis today. In the second part the author analyses the aims of the different, local, national and international actors and assesses reasonable strategies for a lasting peace in Sudan. The leading thoughts in this essay are expressed by the main questions: How did the Sudanese civil wars, which culminated in the recent Darfur crisis, evolve? What would be a reasonable strategy to secure a stable peace in Sudan? The author wants to emphasize the necessity to bring Sudan to a stable peace. As the biggest country in Africa this could contribute to stability in the whole eastern African region, preventing humanitarian crisis and agony. Hasty decision derived from compassion and quick accusations without the necessary background may lead to false directions. This analysis shall provide objective evidence about the current situation and is intended to contribute to a wider comprehension among students of international politics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,373円
