No full textGreening International Jurisprudence: Environmental NGOs before International Courts, Tribunals, and Compliance Committees examines how international judicial and quasi-judicial bodies enforce international environmental law, with particular consideration to the role of environmental NGOs. The analytical structure of the study is based on four aspects of discussion and research: the enforcement deficit in environmental law; global environmental governance and sustainable development; the proliferation of international judicial and quasi-judicial bodies; and deliberation and democratic global governance. Author Cathrin Zengerling analyses the institutional structure, as well as the environmental case law from a total of fourteen international courts, arbitral tribunals, and compliance committees with special focus on accessibility, comprehensiveness, and transparency. Underlying this analysis is the fundamental question of whether the respective body appropriately contributes to the realization of democratic governance for sustainable development. After presenting her core findings, the author provides concrete recommendations for future best practices and discusses the need for a new World Environment Court. Researchers, practitioners, and students of international environmental law will find an important, thought-provoking and timely new text in Greening International Jurisprudence: Environmental NGOs before International Courts, Tribunals, and Compliance Committees
IDEOLOGI SEBAGAI RAMALAN MASA DEPAN: HAKIKAT IDEOLOGI MENURUT KARL MANNHEIM
No full textTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan hakikat ideologi menurut Karl Mannheim serta menganalisis landasan ontologis, epistemologis, dan aksiologis yang mendasari pemikirannya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian pustaka (library research), dengan memakai beberapa unsur metodis, yakni deskripsi, historis, analitika bahasa, abstraksi, hermeneutika, dan heuristika. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa menurut Mannheim, ideologi mengacu pada sebuah kondisi yang belum atau tidak terjadi, dalam arti tidak ada dalam kenyataan. Ideologi berarti ramalan tentang masa depan berdasarkan pada sistem yang saat ini sedang berlaku. Selain itu, Mannheim juga membedakan dua macam ideologi, yaitu ideologi partikular dan ideologi total. Ideologi partikular adalah ideologi yang dipahami secara psikologis oleh seorang individu; sedangkan ideologi total adalah ideologi yang dimiliki oleh suatu komunitas sehingga sangat dekat dengan pengertian welstanchauung. Dari perspektif ontologis, dalam pemikiran Karl Mannheim tentang ideologi terkandung asumsi adanya realitas objektif. Dari perspektif epistemologi, pemikiran Karl Mannheim tentang ideologi menyiratkan pemikiran subjektivisme epistemologis. Dari perspektif aksiologis, kekuasaan yang berkaitan dengan politik masih menduduki hierarki yang tertinggi dalam ideologi

This thesis analyses resistance to heteronormative gender power in order to explore both the possibilities and limits of this kind of resistance. Through a case study of young left-wing political activists in Gothenburg – a group of people that are supposed to offer an intense and well-articulated feminist resistance to dominating norms around gender and sexuality – the relation between power and resistance is brought into focus. The empirical materials drawn upon consist of interviews and focus group interviews with 36 activists in Gothenburg and documentation from part of the movement culture. Theoretically, resistance is seen as part of and depending on power, and vice versa. Through the activists’ strategies and attempts to resist the heteronormative gender power this very power structure is made visible. The alternative spaces produced are not free from power relations. In fact, they involve both traces of the heteronormative gender order, which they oppose, and new norms - so called counter-norms, and limits. Change and stability co-exist.
One important resistance strategy is to oppose subjectivation, either by counter-identification or by disidentification. Among the activists it is common to be very critical of the gender dichotomy and in different ways they seek to escape from it or eliminate it. Because of the penalties – often in the form of abjection – imposed on people who break norms around gender and sexuality in a way that disturbes the heteronormative gender order, even many of the activists tend to pay attention to the limits for their transgression and make sure that they are on the ”right” side, that they have so-called hetero protection. Those who challenge the boundaries between different identity categories or between the normal/intelligible and the abnormal/unintelligible are performing limit experience and are actively using the abject position to offer resistance.
Contradictions, emanating from opposing discourses trying to win superiority, are transformed into ambivalences, in the sense that the activists not only endure ambivalences, but that they also produce and use ambivalences as part of their resistance. The main ambivalence is the awareness of the possible in doing resistance and the impossible in leaving the structures and discourses behind. Through their passionate politics the activists both change and reinforce the heteronormative gender power.

Social support during social and mental active performance situations : effects on cardiovascular, emotional and cognitive stress reactivity in high and low socially anxious individuals
No full textIn dieser Studie wird der gemeinsame Einfluss von sozialer Unterstützung und sozialer Ängstlichkeit auf kardiovaskuläre, emotionale und kognitive Reaktionen in unterschiedlichen Belastungssituationen untersucht. Insgesamt neunundsiebzig normotensive, hoch- und niedrigsozialängstliche Frauen absolvierten soziale und mentale Aufgabenstellungen, wobei die Hälfte von ihnen soziale Unterstützung durch eine Freundin erhielt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass soziale Stressoren zu höheren Anstiegen der kardiovaskulären Parameter sowie der selbstfokussierten Aufmerksamkeit führten, als dies bei mentalen Stressoren der Fall war. Gemeinsame Effekte der Stressorausprägung in Wechselwirkung mit der sozialen Ängstlichkeit wurden in den Anstiegen des negativen Affekts und in Aspekten der kognitiven Bewertung deutlich. Diesbezüglich wiesen Hochsozialängstliche während des sozialen Stressors und in der an den mentalen Stressor anschließenden Ruhephase wesentlich stärkere Anstiege des negativen Affekts auf als Niedrigsozialängstliche. Zudem bewerteten Hochsozialängstliche den sozialen Stressor wesentlich negativer, als dies bei Niedrigsozialängstlichen der Fall war. In der kardiovaskulären Reaktivität wurden keine wesentlichen Unterschiede in Abhängigkeit von sozialer Ängstlichkeit und sozialer Unterstützung deutlich. Die Ergebnisse unterstützen die theoretischen Annahmen kognitiver Modelle der sozialen Ängstlichkeit. Darüber hinaus weisen sie auf eine Diskrepanz zwischen physiologischen und emotional-kognitiven Parametern während sozialevaluativer Belastungssituationen hin, insbesondere im Rahmen einer hohen sozialen Ängstlichkeit.This study investigated the joined influence of social support and social anxiety on cardiovascular, emotional, and cognitive responses to active performance situations. Seventy-nine normotensive females high and low in social anxiety completed social and mental evaluative active performance tasks, half of them receiving social support from a female friend. The results indicate more pronounced increases from baseline in social stressors as compared to mental stressors regarding both cardiovascular parameters and indices of self-focused attention. Joined effects of stressor type and social anxiety were evident concerning increases in negative affect and aspects of cognitive appraisal, with high anxious females exhibiting more pronounced increases in negative affect during social tasks and recovery from mental tasks as well as more negative cognitive appraisals during social tasks. Joined effects of social support and social anxiety were evident in few items of cognitive task appraisal, only. No differences in cardiovascular reactivity were found as a function of social anxiety and social support. The results support theoretical assumptions held by cognitive models of social anxiety. Moreover, they offer further evidence implying a discrepancy between physiological and emotional-cognitive parameters during social evaluative performance situations, particularly in high socially anxious individuals.Marie Cathrin Constantine, BScAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des Verfassers/der VerfasserinMasterarbeit Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 2021Enthält Zusammenfassungen in Deutsch und Englisc
