Krieg in der Ukraine: Hintergründe - Positionen - Reaktionen
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine poses the biggest threat to peace in Europe since the end of World War II. Moreover, the armed invasion on February 24, 2022 marks a turning point for the European peace and security system: Putin aims not only to extend his influence in eastern Europe but also to establish a new world order. The authors of this edited volume examine the background of the war in Ukraine and the constellation of conflict parties. Furthermore, they analyze positions based on ethics of peace as well as those of the church, and highlight Western reactions to the war.
Wege aus dem Krieg in der Ukraine: Szenarien - Chancen - Risiken
Based on six scenarios sketching various forms and ways of a possible end to the war in Ukraine, this volume examines the chances and risks connected with them. The authors discuss questions related to military victory, defeat and a negotiated settlement, approaching the various scenarios from the perspectives of international law, peace ethics, and legal ethics. Moreover, the volume focuses on the societal dimension of the war, covering Russian civil society, the role of the churches in the war zone and peace policy questions related to possible future rapprochement and reconciliation.
Stimmen zum Krieg in der Ukraine: Reaktionen jenseits der westlichen Welt
In its first resolution, the United Nations General Assembly condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine by a clear majority just a few days after the war began and called on Moscow to end its aggression. What at first glance looks like a worldwide condemnation of the Russian war does not stand up to a differentiated view. A closer look shows that it is not the international community of states that disapproves of the Russian aggression, but primarily the West. The volume focuses on the positions of the BRICS states, the MENA region, the post-Soviet space, and various regional organizations.
Coronafolgenforschung
"In the beginning was the rupture" – and it didn't stop at just one. The social, political, psychological, legal, ethical, economic, religious and ecclesiastical consequences of Corona will continue to affect living and future generations for years, if not decades. The scientific, literary, aesthetic and simply discursive everyday processing of this re-experience, a "collective trauma," will take time. Against this background, the authors in this volume - following on from the first FEST kompakt volume – take a look at the complex topic of corona impact assessment from different disciplinary perspectives.
