International Organizations and the Rise of ISIL : Global responses to human security threats
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book seeks to understand the obligations of the international community to promote and protect state and human security in situations of international humanitarian crises.In Iraq and Syria, as well as in neighbouring states, the rise of ISIL has raised serious state and human security challenges. This study explores the relationships between the Global-Regional Partnership, the United Nations and nine organizations in their attempt to deal with the challenges presented by ISIL. Each organization is analyzed in terms of how it has responded in the past and how it is now responding to the ISIL threat based on three perspectives; resource capacities (military, political, economic, technological, normative); willingness and readiness; and impediments to capacity and abilities. The overall aim is to discern what capacities and abilities international organizations have to protect state and human security and prevent civilians from mass atrocities inflicted by ISIL forces. The study addresses the role of international organizations when the UNSC is unable or unwilling to uphold the most fundamental norms and values in the UN Charter. This approach acknowledges that within the international community there is an overall acceptance on security for a partnership between the UN and regional organizations, but that there is also a contested call for a renegotiated international contract on state and human security.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on a theoretical perspective linking international actors with domestic elites, this article explores how Ukraine’s process of democratization in the 2000s should be understood in terms of international pressure from the European Union (EU) and Russia squeezing the domestic elites into two alternative roadmaps for Ukraine. Ukraine, as a “swing-state” of democratic progress and problems, is assumed to have great impact on the regional democratic landscape. The contemporary hybrid nature of Ukraine’s political regime is a consequence of Ukraine being located geopolitically between the authoritarian Russia and the democratic member states of the EU, leading to competing political elites with alternative visions for the future of Ukraine.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- How may the international community sustain global democracy? This paper explores the patterns of democratization in strategic swing states around the world. Based on Larry Diamond’s conceptualization, swing states refer to those about 30 politically, economically and demographically major states that will have a disproportionate impact on the future of democracy in their regions. These swing states are among others Brazil, Colombia, China, India, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and Ukraine. It is argued that the patterns of democratization in these swing states will have regional and global impact on the status of global democracy. This paper includes an overall analysis on level of democratization in these swing states, followed by an in-depth analysis of illustrative strategic swing states in different geographical regions.
