Improving nuclear strategic stability through a responsibility-based approach

Denne korte artikkelen samler flere kritiske elementer og viktige prinsipper i atomvåpenpolitikk. Det er et presserende behov for å finne mekanismer som kan bidra til å vri verdens kjernefysiske stater fra et stadig farligere spor til å gjenoppta diskusjoner om delte sikkerhetsinteresser. Et viktig bidrag ville være for statene å enes om en globalt delt definisjon av kjernefysisk strategisk stabilitet som tar hensyn til verdens kompleksitet i dag. En anerkjennelse av den foreslåtte ansvarskoden vil fremme en ansvarsbasert tilnærming.

How UN Peacekeeping Operations Can Adapt to a New Multipolar World Order

How will United Nations peacekeeping operations adapt to the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world order? The paper considers emerging dynamics in three areas that may suggest how UN peacekeeping are likely to be affected by a changing world order, namely strategic political coherence, the employment of force, and the outer limits of peace operations. It points out that one of the enduring characteristics of UN peacekeeping has been the resilience of its identity. Another has been the continuous evolution of the specific manifestations of that identity into practice. UN peacekeeping have thus shown a remarkable capacity to continuously adapt to new challenges over the past 70 plus years, and there is no evidence to suggest that it will not continue to do so into the future.
