Cultural Organizations Networks and Mediators in Contemporary Ibero-America

Cultural Organizations Networks and Mediators in Contemporary Ibero-America

This book proposes an innovative conceptual framework to explore cultural organizations at a multilateral level and cultural mediators as key figures in cultural and institutionalization processes. Specifically it analyzes the role of Ibero-American mediators in the institutionalization of Hispanic and Lusophone cultures in the first half of the 20th century by means of two institutional networks: PEN (the non-governmental writer’s association) and the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation (predecessor to UNESCO). Attempting to combine cultural and global history sociology and literary studies the book uses an analytical focus on intercultural networks and cultural transfer to investigate the multiple activities and roles that these mediators and cultural organizations set in motion. Literature has traditionally studied major figures and important centers of cultural production but other regions and localities also played a crucial role in the development of intellectual cooperation. This book reappraises the place of Ibero-America in international cultural relations and retrieves the lost history of key secondary actors. The book will appeal to scholars from international relations global and cultural history sociology postcolonial Studies world and comparative literature and New Hispanisms.

International Multiparty Mediation and Conflict Management Challenges of Cooperation and Coordination

International Multiparty Mediation and Conflict Management Challenges of Cooperation and Coordination

This volume aims to provide a detailed explanation of the effects of cooperation and coordination on international multiparty mediation in conflicts. Contemporary scholarship stresses that the crucial ingredients for a successful multiparty mediation are ‘consistency in interests’ and ‘cooperation and coordination’ between mediators. This book seeks to supplement that understanding by investigating how much the ‘consistency of interests’ and ‘cooperation and coordination’ affect the overall process and what happens to the mediation process when mediating parties do not share the same idea and interest in finding a common solution. At the same time it explores the obstacles in achieving coordination and coherence between various mediators in such an environment and how to surmount the problems that multiple mediators face when operating without a ‘common script’ in attempting to mediate a negotiated settlement. The study investigates three distinct mechanisms (both on the systemic and contextual level) that have the potential to deter defection from a (potential) member of the multiparty mediation coalition: geo-political shifts changes in the conflict dynamics and mediators’ ability to bargain for a cooperative relationship. As the number of states and international actors that are involved in mediation increases a careful assessment is necessary not only of their relative institutional strengths and weaknesses but also of how to promote complementary efforts and how to synchronize the whole process when one actor is transferring the responsibilities for mediation to others. This book will be of much interest to students of mediation conflict management war and conflict studies security studies and IR. | International Multiparty Mediation and Conflict Management Challenges of Cooperation and Coordination

Overcoming Social Division Conflict Resolution in Times of Polarization and Democratic Disconnection

Overcoming Social Division Conflict Resolution in Times of Polarization and Democratic Disconnection

Locked in our worldview communities and polarised through increasingly radical campaigning we are anxious of today's great uncertainty and our politicians have little incentive to reach across party lines. The problem of social division is real. The Brexit vote led to the highest spike in hate crimes in Britain ever recorded and heated situations like the far-right rally in Charlottesville USA are increasingly boiling over. Overcoming Social Division is not another book about dying democracies because horror scenarios don't make you act. Instead it is an optimistic response on what can be done and about how we can coexist in fragmented and polarised societies. Anatol Valerian Itten explains how public conflict resolution civic fusion and mediative decision making help us re-learn the ability to find common ground on controversial issues with our fellow citizens whom we tend to assume believe more extreme things than they really do. This book takes the reader through empirical key factors obstacles and blind spots and provides helpful guidelines for everyone interested in mitigating social division and resolving conflicts. The author's insights are based on his experience in conflict management a study of dozens of public conflict resolution cases and surprising stories of over twenty interviewed mediators. Overcoming social division can be a strenuous task. But talking to our enemies is necessary if we don't want to end up in dysfunctional democracies and it can be a more rewarding experience than we might think. This is a fascinating read for students and academics interested in conflict resolution and public participation from psychology social sciences law and related disciplines. It is also a unique resource for professionals including officials mediators lawyers and other practitioners dealing with conflict and public participation. | Overcoming Social Division Conflict Resolution in Times of Polarization and Democratic Disconnection

Bringing Cold War Democracy to West Berlin A Shared German–American Project 1940–1972

Bringing Cold War Democracy to West Berlin A Shared German–American Project 1940–1972

Within the span of a generation Nazi Germany’s former capital Berlin found a new role as a symbol of freedom and resilient democracy in the Cold War. This book unearths how this remarkable transformation resulted from a network of liberal American occupation officials and returned émigrés or remigrés of the Marxist Social Democratic Party (SPD). This network derived from lengthy physical and political journeys. After fleeing Hitler German-speaking self-professed revolutionary socialists emphasized anti-totalitarianism in New Deal America and contributed to its intelligence apparatus. These experiences made these remigrés especially adept at cultural translation in postwar Berlin against Stalinism. This book provides a new explanation for the alignment of Germany’s principal left-wing party with the Western camp. While the Cold War has traditionally been analyzed from the perspective of decision makers in Moscow or Washington this study demonstrates the agency of hitherto marginalized on the conflict’s first battlefield. Examining local political culture and social networks underscores how both Berliners and émigrés understood the East-West competition over the rubble that the Nazis left behind as a chance to reinvent themselves as democrats and cultural mediators respectively. As this network popularized an anti-Communist pro-Western Left this book identifies how often ostracized émigrés made a crucial contribution to the Federal Republic of Germany’s democratization. | Bringing Cold War Democracy to West Berlin A Shared German–American Project 1940–1972

Gender Mediation and Popular Education in Venice 1760–1830

Gender Mediation and Popular Education in Venice 1760–1830

Gender Mediation and Popular Education in Venice 1760–1830 examines how women with enough cultural capital could turn their identity as representatives of the public – those on the receiving end of education – to their advantage producing knowledge under the guise of relaying it. Author Susan Dalton demonstrates how elite women turned their reputation for ignorance into an opportunity to establish themselves as published authors at the dawn of the nineteenth century in Venice. Many literary figures saw women as a group in need of education. By deploying essentialist understandings of femininity whereby women possessed superior moral virtue but deficient rationality these women entered the world of print as cultural mediators identified by contemporaries as key players in the social projects of public education and moral edification central to the European Enlightenment. Focussing on Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi and Giustina Renier Michiel both renowned Venetian authors Dalton introduces two well-known Italian women of letters to English-speaking scholars re-evaluates the impact of their writing in Italy and raises questions about female authorship across Europe broadens our conceptions of gender norms and enriches our knowledge of a little-known period of women’s writing in Italy. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars alike interested in women’s and gender history early modern history and social and cultural history.

Victims and Restorative Justice

Victims and Restorative Justice

Restorative justice aims to address the consequences of crime by encouraging victims and offenders to communicate and discuss the harm caused by the crime that has been committed. In the majority of cases restorative justice is facilitated by direct and indirect dialogue between victims and offenders but it also includes support networks and sometimes involves professionals such as police lawyers social workers or prosecutors and judges. In theory the victim is a core participant in restorative justice and the restoration of the harm is a first concern. In practice questions arise as to whether the victim is actively involved in the process what restoration may entail whether there is a risk of secondary victimisation and whether the victim is truly at the heart of the restorative response or whether the offender remains the focal point of attention. Using a combination of victimological literature and empirical data from a European research project this book considers the role and the position of the victim in restorative justice practices focusing on legislative organisational and institutional frameworks of victim-offender mediation and conferencing programmes at a national and local level as well as the victims’ personal needs and experiences. The findings are essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of justice victimology and law. The publication will also be valuable to policymakers and professionals such as social workers lawyers and mediators. | Victims and Restorative Justice
