Evidence-informed prevention of civil wars and mass atrocities / Rudolf, Peter   Journal Article
Rudolf, Peter Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The prevention discourse in all its forms has tended to ignore or at least downplay the epistemic problems with prevention. Forecasting political violence is not as easy as the debate on early warning often assumes. Effectively forestalling political violence and mass atrocities is much more difficult than the often used rhetoric of a ‘tool box’ implies, which creates the impression that one knows what works. An evidence-informed prevention policy needs to be aware of the limits of our knowledge, but at the same time knowledgeable of what social science research can provide – even if the results are provisional, often controversial and fraught with methodological problems.

Myth of the German way: German foreign policy and transatlantic relations / Rudolf, Peter 2005  Journal Article
Rudolf, Peter Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2005.
Description p133-152
Summary/Abstract Those critics who warn of a new German unilateralism have read too much into the Iraq crisis. The core components of Germany's traditional foreign policy conception include a general strategic preference for embedding German foreign policy into multilateral frameworks; the goal of a civilised international order; and a preference for non-military means and strong aversion to the use of military force. German policies regarding the Iraq war may have been at odds with one or more of these core components; however, there were cross-cutting pressures that made it very difficult to be entirely faithful to those traditions. Neither the foreign-policy discourse in Germany with respect to the transatlantic relationship nor actual policies in the wake of the Iraq crisis indicate a profound change in the orientation of German foreign policy. But we can expect the strains of further adjustment and non-adjustment to a changing transatlantic framework.

UN peace operations and the use of military force / Rudolf, Peter   Journal Article
Rudolf, Peter Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Peace operations have undergone considerable change since the turn of the century. Peacekeepers are deployed in a greater variety of scenarios, ranging from monitoring ceasefires to complex peace operations. The protection of civilians has become an important focus, and operations have become more robust in their use of force to defend their mandates. At least some missions have the explicit purpose of helping to stabilise a country in the midst of an ongoing conflict.
