This chapter concentrates on the Beijing government’s attachment to a view that human protection requires a state to be economically developed, domestically stable, and strongly effective and capable. The chapter places the focus on Chinese official arguments in support of this articulated triadic position, but also examines a range of Chinese and non-Chinese scholarly perspectives on this topic area. It situates Chinese voices within a larger, mostly UN-centred, policy literature that explores the relationship between economic development and the management of international peace and security. The chapter explores whether there is a gap between UN and Chinese thinking on how best to prevent conflict and give better protection to individuals caught up in violence, entertaining also the possibility that there has been something of a convergence of UN and official Chinese perspectives.

<p>The significance of poverty consequences in contemporary social system and the role of economic development in consolidating the basis of international peace and security led to conduct a research on factors affecting the establishment of development. The question - on the one hand–is that: what's the role of International law in economic development and -on the other hand- what's the relationship between observance of regulations of international law by governments and their economic development? Based on the theory of the formation of international law mechanisms derived from it must reflect Humanity's collective demands and in concrete manifestation must found norms that ensure and deepen human rights in the International scope. However, since the governments are considered the first and the most important subject of international law, the achievements obtained by international law cannot be apart from the governments actions, so that national sovereignties normativism and observance of regulations of international law- in line with multiple characteristics necessary for achieving economic development- are pivotal factors in the economic development.</p>

World Perspective

The author examines detente in the context of the relationship between the two superpowers, the relationships between them and their bloc partners respectively, their relationships with the Third World, and the cause of international peace and security, equity and justice. He finds that detente is either ambiguous, irrelevant, dysfunctional, or positively dangerous, and either ignores or thwarts the interests and aspirations of the Third World countries, which cannot therefore view it as anything more than a diplomatic and psychological ploy for the continued denial of equality, autonomy and economic development to them.

The Relationship

International criminal justice emerged in the tradition of international peace and security. The relationship between the ICC and the Security Council has been problematic since the inception of the Court. While some delegations argued that the nexus to collective security is helpful because it might make ICC justice more effective in terms of enforcement, other delegations feared that it might render the Court vulnerable to alignment with politics. This chapter examines dilemmas that have emerged in the interaction between the Court and the Council in the first decade. It focuses on several key areas: referrals, deferrals, and institutional interaction, most notably cooperation and funding. It seeks to offer a constructivist vision on the interplay between the ICC and the Council, by offering some targeted recommendations to improve the status quo.

The Relationship

This chapter examines the relationship between law, terrorism, and globalization. Terrorism is the use of violence for political end. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the response to the attacks have reshaped relationships between law and politics. That day marks a point of rupture—one consequence of which has been the increasing transnationalization of counterterrorism law, which exists in the space between and across rules of international peace and security, and national laws. Today, there is a growing appreciation of the intrinsic and causal links between activities of states and of international organizations to combat terrorism and the risk of further terrorist attacks. Globalization, terrorism, and the response to terrorism are all disruptors. Their interplay will reshape states and their authority for decades to come.

Law Making

AbstractThis article considers the relationship between the United Nations and its member states in view of the Security Council's assertion of legislative powers. It claims that the exponential growth in UN powers at the expense of the powers of its member states cannot be arrested by legal means, because of the nature of the UN system and the absence of legally enforceable criteria and compulsory dispute-settlement mechanisms. For this reason, it proposes a different approach to law-making in the area of international peace and security – one that is built around the principle of subsidiarity, as reflected in Article 2(7) of the UN Charter. The role of the principle of subsidiarity in this respect is to determine which authority is best suited to exercise legislative power and how such power should be exercised in order to attain the objective of peace and security more efficiently. It is thus contended that the principle of subsidiarity promotes co-operative relations between the United Nations and its member states by protecting the latters' jurisdictional authority from unnecessary interference.

The Relationship

This chapter examines the division of competence between the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly concerning matters of international peace and security but placed within the context of the prohibition on the use of force. Although the Security Council can authorize the use of force by states, what is not clear is whether the General Assembly can recommend that states take military action. The chapter considers the conundrum faced by the United Nations with respect to an imminent and catastrophic use of force or act of egregious violence, when the UN Security Council is deadlocked because of the lack of agreement between the permanent members. It discusses the debate over the legality of the (in)famous Uniting for Peace Resolution of 1950 within the context of the emerging principle of a Responsibility to Protect (R2P) as well as within existing principles of international law.

The Relationship

Dag Hammarskjöld’s term in office stands for an expansion of the UN’s activities for the maintenance of international peace and security. Despite the constraints of the Cold War, new tools for preventive diplomacy and peacekeeping were developed under his leadership. He also articulated a new doctrine for the world organization as well as the international civil service that built on various philosophical sources and central aspects of his personality. His interaction with the Security Council at the time was decisive in bringing about these innovations, but it also highlighted severe differences between the Secretary-General and leading member states. The Council that had given him unprecedented leeway in crisis situations became more and more disturbed by an all too active Secretary-General. The chapter traces the dynamics of the relationship between an active Secretary-General and an assertive, yet oftentimes divided Security Council in that crucial era.

The Relationship

The review outlines the connection between E. Reinert’s book and the tradition of structural analysis. The latter allows for the heterogeneity of industries and sectors of the economy, as well as for the effects of increasing and decreasing returns. Unlike the static theory of international trade inherited from the Ricardian analysis of comparative advantage, this approach helps identify the relationship between trade, production, income and population growth. Reinert rehabilitates the “other canon” of economic theory associated with the mercantilist tradition, F. Liszt and the German historical school, as well as a reconside ration of A. Marshall’s analysis of increasing returns. Empirical illustrations given in the book reveal clear parallels with the path of Russian socio-economic development in the last twenty years.
