Die ESVP zielt darauf ab, das zivile und militrische Instrumentarium der EU kohrent und effektiv zur Bewltigung von Konflikten auf globaler und europischer Ebene einzusetzen. Damit stellt es die Union nicht zuletzt vor die juristisch bedeutsame Herausforderung, sie sowohl in eine universelle Ordnung internationaler Friedenssicherung, als auch in das Integrationskonzept einer immer engeren Union einzufgen. Der vorliegende Band beleuchtet die spezifischen Probleme der ESVP aus vlkerrechtlicher und europarechtlicher Sicht: Eine juristische Perspektive zugrunde legend, werden auch Erkenntnisse aus Politikwissenschaft und dem Bereich der Internationalen Beziehungen einbezogen. So wird deutlich, dass die EU in der Friedenssicherung als Organisation kollektiver Sicherheit eine wertvolle Rolle bernehmen kann. Whrend jedoch die institutionellen Voraussetzungen weitestgehend erfllt sind, klaffen materiell-rechtlich und demokratiepolitisch noch bedenkliche Lcken. more...

Electoral processes. have, however, been found wanting to greater or lesser extents in all these countries. Electoral malpractices are of critical concern to all South Asian countries. It is in this background that the International Centre for Ethnic Studies,. Kandy,Sri Lanka, with funding from the Ford Foundation, organized in 2002, an. international conference on electoral processes and governance in South Asia. The South Asian countries selected for study were Bangladesh, India, Nepal,. Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and papers were presented by experts in the area of. electoral processes and governance in these countries.
