This collection of primary sources for the first time gives a pan-European insight into the experiences of ordinary people living under German occupation during World War II, their everyday life, ...their search for supplies and their strategies to fight scarcity.
With this book the editors complete the three-volume series on
modern Japanese colonialism and imperialism that began with The
Japanese Colonial Empire, 1895-1945 (Princeton, 1983) and
The Japanese ...Informal Empire in China, 1895-1937
(Princeton, 1989). The Japanese military takeover in Manchuria
between 1931 and 1932 was a critical turning point in East Asian
history. It marked the first surge of Japanese aggression beyond
the boundaries of its older colonial empire and set Japan on a
collision course with China and Western colonial powers from 1937
through 1945. These essays seek to illuminate some of the more
significant processes and institutions during the period when the
empire was at war: the creation of a Japanese-dominated East Asian
economic bloc centered in northeast Asia, the mobilization of human
and physical resources in the older established areas of Japanese
colonial rule, and the penetration and occupation of Southeast
Asia. Introduced by Peter Duus, the volume contains four sections:
Japan's Wartime Empire and the Formal Colonies (Carter J. Eckert
and Wan-yao Chou), Japan's Wartime Empire and Northeast Asia
(Louise Young, Y. Tak Matsusaka, Ramon H. Myers, and Takafusa
Nakamura), Japan's Wartime Empire and Southeast Asia (Mark R.
Peattie, E. Bruce Reynolds, and Ken'ichi Goto), and Japan's Wartime
Empire in Other Perspectives (George Hicks, Hideo Kobayashi, and L.
H. Gann).
Nationalists hold that the state derives its territorial rights from the prior claim of a cultural nation to territory. This article develops an alternative account: the legitimate state theory. This ...view holds that a state has rights to territory if it meets the following four conditions: (a) it effectively implements a system of law regulating property in that territory; (b) its subjects have a legitimate claim to occupy the territory; (c) the state’s system of law “rules in the name of the people,” by protecting basic rights and providing for political participation; and (d) the state is not a usurper.
In this article, the role of periodicals in the propaganda activities of the occupation authorities of the Reichskommissariat Ukraine and the military administration zone has been revealed; the ...content and types of periodicals have been shown; the task set before them by the Nazi occupation authorities in forming appropriate ideological structures to influence the population of the occupied territories of Ukraine has been disclosed. It is shown that Hitler’s governance used the press as one of the effective means of influencing not only the opinion, but also the consciousness of the population of the temporarily occupied territories. The subject of the study is the content of periodicals and their influence on the behaviour, moral and psychological condition of the population of the Ukrainian territories occupied by the Nazi army. The main aspects of Nazi Germany’s information policy in the occupied territories have been revealed with the use of comparative-historical and problem-chronological methods, as well as content analysis, which allowed to analyse the content of periodicals and to highlight the features of their content lines. The occupation administration used various forms of propaganda: publishing newspapers and magazines in Ukrainian; demonstrating special films in cinemas; releasing visual agitation in the form of posters and leaflets, as well as documentary exhibitions; through theatre plays, radio broadcasts in Ukrainian, Russian and other languages. It resorted to the modern methods of using the press in times of the war. The population of the temporarily occupied territories of the USSR demanded news as the only opportunity to navigate in those difficult conditions. That is why Hitler’s governance used the press as one of the effective means of influence not only the opinion, but also the consciousness of the population of the temporarily occupied territories. The German occupation authorities tried to take advantage of the “information hunger” that prevailed after the retreat of Soviet troops and to fill the information vacuum with their own propaganda. In order to spread the necessary information among the population, the Nazi occupation authorities published newspapers and magazines in each region, district, city.
On Nov 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly voted to establish a Jewish state (alongside an Arab state) in the Land of Israel. Sixty-nine years later, on Dec 23, 2016, the UN Security Council voted to ...try to save it. Resolution 2334 that was approved that Friday is a gust of good news, a breath of hope in the sea of darkness and despair of recent years. Just when it seemed that everything was going downhill -- the deepening occupation increasingly supported by America, with Europe galloping to the right -- along came a Hanukkah resolution that lights a thin candle.

The relationship between European Union and International Human Rights Law has not always been close. The global projection of the EU, specially, its interest in becoming a leader in international ...trade, is facing its negative impact in some territories, specially those affected by human rights violation or negation of fundamental rules of International Law, such as ius cogens self-determination of people. This paper will examine to what extend the practice of the European Union trading with occupying and administrative powers in some territories could jeopardise its compliance with its own values and principles.

Transitional administrations represent the most complex operations attempted by the United Nations. The missions in Kosovo (1999—) and East Timor (1999–2002) are commonly seen as unique in the ...history of the United Nations. But they may also be seen as the latest in a series of operations that have involved the United Nations in ‘state‐building’ activities, in which it has attempted to develop the institutions of government by assuming some or all of those sovereign powers on a temporary basis. Viewed in light of earlier UN operations, such as those in Namibia (1989–1990), Cambodia (1992–1993), and Eastern Slavonia (1996–1998), the idea that these exceptional circumstances may not recur is somewhat disingenuous. The need for policy research in this area was brought into sharp focus by the weighty but vague responsibilities assigned to the United Nations in Afghanistan (2002—) and its contested role in Iraq (2003—).This book seeks to fill that gap. Aimed at policy‐makers, diplomats, and a wide academic audience (including international relations, political science, international law, war studies, and development studies), the book provides a concise history of transitional administration and a treatment of the five key issues confronting such operations: peace and security, the role of the United Nations as government, establishing the rule of law, economic reconstruction, and exit strategies. Research for the book has been conducted through extensive field research and interviews with key UN staff and local representatives in almost all of the territories under consideration. The unifying theme is that, while the ends of transitional administration may be idealistic, the means cannot be.
