Ripeness and readiness theories in international conflict resolution.

Ripeness and readiness theories in international conflict resolution.
(2016)
Cantekin, Aytekin
Abstract:
This paper offers a theoretical perspective on the relationship between ripeness theory and readiness theory within the structuralist paradigm of international mediation as a part of international conflict resolution. In order to do so, it explains the foundations of international mediation and these theories in question, discusses their primary notions and further argues and offers some practical generalizations for conflict analysis. It suggests that, first using readiness theory to understand each party separately, then using ripeness theory to map the bilateral coordination may be a better way to grasp basic foundations and change dynamics of the conflict to catch the ‘ripe’ moment.

Abstract:
In this article, we discuss the potential of cities and architectural environments as important spaces in conducting international education. Introducing La-Municipal boratoria of Central Europe, our proprietary methodological concept giving shape to the pedagogical activities we undertake in the context of education international, and more specifically as part of study programs abroad allows for American students staying at universities in Poland and Central Europe.We begin the description of this concept by considering the dimensions of the city that make it cities are currently playing a key role in international education as well as in practicalour pedagogy model. Then we explain in detail how it works they include Municipal Laboratories, citing specific examples taken from them from our work with students

International learning communities for global and local citizenship

International learning communities for global and local citizenship
(2011)
Cervinkova, Hana
Abstract:
In this paper, I describe our ongoing international project in engaged educational ethnography and participatory action research with young adults and consider its relevance for a discussion on the community-building role of adult education in a globalized context. I use the example of our case study to suggest that adult educators can generate viable communities by creating learning spaces that nurture critical consciousness, a sense of agency, participation and social solidarity among internationally and culturally diverse young adult learners. Furthermore, I argue that participation in international learning communities formed through this educational process can potentially help young adults become locally and globally engaged citizens. International learning communities for global citizenship thus present a proposition for conceptualizing the vital role of adult community education in supporting democratic global and local citizenship in a world defined in terms of cross-cultur...

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study: The scores are in!
(2020)
Moss, Peter; Urban, Mathias
Abstract:
This is the fourth colloquium for Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study, and marks the recent publication by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development of reports on the first round of this study. In it, the authors discuss what the results tell us, what they do not and what might come next. They conclude by supporting the need for comparative studies of early childhood education, but argue that the International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study is not the way to go.

Gambling: Identifying international trends, approaches and responses (MUSSI Working Paper Series no. 13)
(2020)
Vazquez Mendoza, Lucia; Kerr, Aphra; O'Brennan, John
Abstract:
In late 2019 an academic research team based at Maynooth University’s Department of Sociology and Maynooth Social Sciences Institute (MUSSI) including Prof. Aphra Kerr, Prof. John O’ Brennan and Dr Lucia Vazquez-Mendoza began work on a one-year project to examine the knowledge base and evidence on the nature and extent of gambling and gambling impacts in Ireland and how Ireland compares to international peer countries. The first stage of this project has involved desk research examining the international knowledge base on gambling and putting emerging trends in Ireland into an international perspective. This working paper provides an overview of the secondary academic research and publicly available data accessed to date in the project on gambling and its impacts on individuals and society.

State responsibility in international law for transboundary water‐related harm: The emergence of a new ecosystems‐based paradigm?

State responsibility in international law for transboundary water‐related harm: The emergence of a new ecosystems‐based paradigm?
(2020)
McIntyre, Owen
Abstract:
Though one might reasonably expect that transboundary harm caused to the riparian interests of watercourse States should quite easily give rise to findings of legal responsibility on the part of the State causing such harm, this has rarely been the case. One reason commonly advanced is that the primary rules of international water law, breach of which would give rise to State responsibility, are vague and uncertain as regards their precise normative implications. However, recent developments regarding the requirement to protect riverine ecosystems and to maintain related ecosystem services provide an important degree of clarity as regards the standard of conduct expected of watercourse States, and the types of harm which may be compensable. This is welcome considering the important role that State responsibility might be presumed to play in giving effect to the values and commitments enshrined in the rules and principles of international water law.

The myth of 'the myth of Irish neutrality': deconstructing concepts of Irish neutrality using international relations theories

The myth of 'the myth of Irish neutrality': deconstructing concepts of Irish neutrality using international relations theories
(2006)
Devine, Karen
Abstract:
A number of academics, journalists and political elites claim that Irish neutrality is a 'myth', and many also characterise public support for Irish neutrality as 'confused' and 'nonrational'. This 'unneutral' discourse in the academic literature and mainstream Irish media is based on an academic thesis, that of an Unneutral Ireland. The Unneutral thesis constructs a particular concept of neutrality in order to draw its conclusion that Ireland is 'unneutral'. Using a poststructuralist approach--a rarity in the discipline of International Relations (IR)--this paper deconstructs concepts of Irish neutrality using a framework of IR theories. The results show that the concept of neutrality put forward in the Unneutral Ireland thesis and the dominant discourses on Irish neutrality are based on a hegemonic IR theory, the theory of neorealism, rather than on seemingly 'objective' scientific research methods. The paper concludes th...

After the 'War on Terror': regulatory states, risk bureaucracies and the risk-based governance of terror
(2010)
Heng, Yee-Kuang; McDonagh, Kenneth
Abstract:
In March 2009, the Obama administration sent a message to senior Pentagon staff instructing them to refrain from using either of the terms ‘Long War’ or ‘Global War on Terror’ and to replace these terms with ‘Overseas Contingency Operations’. Similarly, the 2009 UK Strategy for Countering International Terrorism eschews military terminology, preferring instead National Risk Assessments whose overall aim is ‘to reduce the risk to the UK’. This paper seeks to explore what it terms an emerging risk-based approach being deployed by states. Such an approach has already played a significant role in the ‘War on Terror’ to date, particularly in relation to Anti-Terrorist Financing and Aviation security guidelines. The change in tone and, potentially, substance from the Obama White House may however create the opportunity for risk-based approaches to move further onto the centre stage in the war on terror, just as it has in the wider Risk Society. This paper argues that the end of the ‘War o...

Accountability in the delivery of 'A vision for change' - a performance assessment framework for mental health services
(2010)
Indecon International Economic Consultants
Abstract:
Currently there are limited mechanisms in Ireland for tracking mental health expenditure or its effectiveness. Yet accountability is a fundamental principle of human rights. Individuals need to be able to determine whether their government is fulfilling its obligation under human rights to progressively realise their right to the highest attainable standard of mental health. This report outlines the requirements to ensure accountability in the delivery of the Government’s mental health policy, A Vision for Change, and develops a performance assessment framework for mental health services in Ireland. The report was commissioned by Amnesty International Ireland (AI) and prepared by Indecon International Economic Consultants. This report takes place within the context of AI’s work on the right to the highest attainable standard of mental health and Indecon’s previous review of government spending on mental health services and progress on implementation of A Vision for Change, completed...

Statistically-constrained shallow text marking: techniques, evaluation paradigm and results
(2007)
VOGEL, CARL
Abstract:
We present three natural language marking strategies based on fast and reliable shallow parsing techniques, and on widely available lexical resources: lexical substitution, adjective conjunction swaps, and relativiser switching. We test these techniques on a random sample of the British National Corpus. Individual candidate marks are checked for goodness of structural and semantic fit, using both lexical resources, and the web as a corpus. A representative sample of marks is given to 25 human judges to evaluate for acceptability and preservation of meaning. This establishes a correlation between corpus based felicity measures and perceived quality, and makes qualified predictions. Grammatical acceptability correlates with our automatic measure strongly (Pearson?s r = 0.795, p = 0.001), allowing us to account for about two thirds of variability in human judgements. A moderate but statistically insignificant (Pearson?s r = 0.422, p = 0.356) correlation is found with judgements of mean...

International time
(1913)
Stanuell, Charles A.
Abstract:
In dealing with the subject of international time, I should like to state at once that I propose to deal with it in a popular style without any scientific terms, as I think that there have been some misunderstandings of the subject due to the elaborate scientific explanations which have been put forward, and not understood. I propose to first explain what I mean by the expression "International Time." I refer to an arrangement between the nations who belong to the Postal Union, entered into about 1884, under which a general system of time applicable to the whole world was introduced, and recommended to the various nations who had joined the Postal Union, nearly all the civilized globe.

Explaining International Differences in Rates of Overeducation in Europe
(2010)
DAVIA, MARIA A.; MC GUINNESS, SEAMUS; O'CONNELL, PHILIP J.
Abstract:
This paper examines the factors determining variations in international rates of overeducation. We find significant effects for a range of factors including labour market structural imbalances, risk, trade-union density and the structure of academic funding. The results suggest that international levels of overeducation are particularly sensitive to variations in higher education funding arrangements.

A review of the international literature on health promotion competencies: identifying frameworks and core competencies.
(2012)
Barry, Margaret M.
Abstract:
Building a competent health promotion workforce with the necessary knowledge and skills to develop, implement and evaluate health promotion policies and practice is fundamental to mainstreaming and sustaining health promotion action. This paper reviews the international literature on competencies in health promotion, examines the competencies developed to date, identifies the methods used in their development and considers what can be learned from the experience of others when establishing international core competencies. The paper considers the advantages and disadvantages of employing a competency approach and the extent to which the competencies identified to date can enhance the quality of practice and update the skill set required to work within changing social, cultural and political contexts.

Abstract:
Coordination of the survey was initiated in the meeting of the Working Group on International Pelagic Surveys (WGIPS) and continued by correspondence until the start of the survey. During the survey effort was refined and adjusted by the coordinator based on real time observations. The survey design applied followed methods described in ICES Survey design Manual (2015) and allowed for a flexible transect design and comprehensive coverage of the spawning aggregations. Overall weather conditions were mixed with periods of poor and good weather. All vessels, with the exception of Kings Bay experienced some downtime due to conditions with the Faroes experiencing the most prolonged period of bad weather at the end of the survey period. The entire survey was undertaken within 20 days and below the 21 day target threshold. The bulk of the survey was temporally consistent with the exception of one transect in the southern Rockall Trough.

Cosmopolitan spaces of international film festivals: Cannes Film Festival and the French Riviera
(2017)
Ostrowska, Dorota
Abstract:
Since its inception, the Cannes Film Festival was envisioned as a continuation, expansion and enhancement of the Riviera’s long-established cosmopolitan, carnivalesque and exclusive space. The Riviera’s cosmopolitanism was shaped by travel and the mobility of its international visitors, making it into a non-place; some of them, in addition, transformed the Riviera through their horticultural activity, thus literally rooting themselves in the Riviera. The particular version of the Riviera’s cosmopolitanism was mirrored in the internal architecture of the festival, in terms of its audiences and programming, which was international, elitist and characterised by the interplay of place and non-place. In this article, I argue that the origins of the festival as a cosmopolitan event are found in the nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century cultural history of the French Riviera—as it was rendered on the pages of the diarists who travelled to the region, and realised in the activities of the...

The Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in Ireland: will it make a difference?
(2012)
Smyth, Claire-Michelle
Abstract:
The divide between the protection and recognition of Civil and Political Rights compared with Social and Economic Rights is a stark one. In response to this divide the United Nations in June 2008 adopted the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights which for the first time allows for an international forum to determine breaches of social and economic rights within domestic systems. The task of bringing such an Optional Protocol to fruition was one fraught with opposition, particularly from states who grant little or no judicial protection to social and economic rights. Ireland is one of those states where the fight to judicially protect social and economic rights has been met with fierce resistance. The status of Social and Economic Rights in Ireland determined by the Supreme Court is that they do not warrant judicial protection and are solely within the ambit of the Executive arm of the state, a view which is consistent with many other...

Abstract:
Global staffing has been a key theme in research in international human resource management (IHRM) for a number of decades. Our review confirms that it continues to be an important contemporary area of research in IHRM. In the current paper, we review three key contemporary issues in global staffing research, namely, the emergence of global talent management and potentially a more strategic approach to global mobility, specifically changing patterns of global mobility, and the emergence of the non-employees as key alternatives in the global staffing literature. The paper also charts a future research agenda in each of these areas.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> The internationalisation of higher level education and the profiles - nationalities, ethnicities and cultural identities - of students who migrate to undertake higher level education programmes in a different country are increasingly complex. This article explores the way in which cultural backgrounds impact the student’s experiences of an international medical school, and how these experiences have the potential to inform the development and design of student support services for those students who are not coping well with the transition.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: Thirty one first year students were interviewed by sixteen second year students who were trained and supervised by an experienced researcher. Three focus ...

Our place matters: an exploration of young people’s participation in the Douglas community and international models for developing community participation
(2018)
Daunt, John
Abstract:
This research dissertation assesses the participation of young people within the Douglas Community in County Cork, Ireland as well as considering international models of community participation. This research was proposed by the community based working group ‘Douglas Matters’ and was subsequently formulated as a CARL project. Primary research was carried out qualitatively using a survey questionnaire which was created by the researcher. This survey was then circulated to transition year students in three secondary schools in Douglas. Secondary research was also carried out in the form of a review of both domestic and international literature relating to community participation. The findings of this research indicate that there is a need for further services for y/p in Douglas and a need to develop platforms whereby y/p can have a voice in decisions affecting them. The establishment of a youth café and a local youth council are recommended.

Russia’s international development aid in education
(2013)
Maximova, Anastasia; Gray, Patty A.; Murphy, Jennifer
Abstract:
Education has been a prominent part of Soviet development assistance. As a re-emerging donor Russia also recognizes its importance and provides its assistance in several ways, including free higher education in Russia to students from developing countries, contributions to the education pooled funds and a few programs being administered via multilateral institutions. Russia is facing various challenges in the area of international development assistance, such as limited institutional capacity for aid delivery, incomplete legal basis, shortage of qualified and experience staff, weakness of development assistance institutions and so on. If unresolved these problems might undermine the effectiveness of Russia's development effort for the attainment of MDGs and any future development goals.

Placing Irish Social Work in a Global Context: Assembling International Comparisons Through the Literature

Placing Irish Social Work in a Global Context: Assembling International Comparisons Through the Literature
(2020)
Flynn, Susan
Abstract:
There is an absence of literature that places social work practice in Ireland within a global context. This circumstance is obstructive to students and practitioners of social work in Ireland, who must increasingly demonstrate understanding of social work as an international endeavour. Ireland is also steadily more globalised and multi-cultural. In social work, related changes underway include increased transience of persons across national lines, and complex transnational social problems. In this context, social workers may broaden their understanding of Irish practice through drawing upon learning from elsewhere. To facilitate this, a theoretically informed critical commentary on the literature is presented in this article. The specific focus is on globalisation in the Republic of Ireland. The core argument of the paper is that variance in international socioeconomic wellbeing must be better understood by social work students and practitioners in Ireland, as a response to intensif...

Sword or shield? The influence of international organizations in counterterrorism law and policy making
(2018)
Hamilton, Claire
Abstract:
The protections afforded citizens in human rights treaties drafted by international organisations such as the United Nations may frequently be seen as a way of protecting unpopular minorities such as offenders from the “tyranny of the majority”.Yet, criminal justice policies promulgated by these same bodies can often cut, swordlike, deep into citizens’ freedoms. This tension – between drives towards human rights, on the one hand, and towards criminalisation and punitive measures on the other –is particularly acute in the field of counterterrorism, where bodies such as the UN Security Council have been active since the events of 9/11. Taking the field of counterterrorism as an exemplar, it is the aim of this paper to explore the tension between the “shield” and “sword” functions of international organisations, drawing on two case studies. The first concerns the United Nations where the security of the state has secured a major advantage over the ethic of human rights, within rather ...

Water and a fluid international development agenda
(2018)
Fagan, Honor; Munck, Ronaldo
Abstract:
Access to, and the socio-ecological management of, water resources is a vital component of any international development framework that seeks to eradicate poverty and address global socio-economic inequities. The shifting approaches taken to the question of water over the past 30 years neatly reflects the changes, continuities and challenges in the evolution of development policy itself. The negotiation around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has shown the limitations and contradictions of the international development agenda, and none has shown those limitations more so than the water goals. Perhaps this is because the efforts made around water resourcing and distribution are being made in the context of an unfettered top-down political economy of water. We are in an era of the global ‘water grab’ (Transnational Institute (TNI), 2013) with ten major firms controlling water in over 100 countries (Salleh, 2016, p. 958). It is increasingly unlikely that even these most comprom...
