Inhalt: Why have nuclear weapons not been used since Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945? Nina Tannenwald disputes the conventional answer of 'deterrence' in favour of what she calls a nuclear taboo - a widespread inhibition on using nuclear weapons - which has arisen in global politics. Drawing on newly released archival sources, Tannenwald traces the rise of the nuclear taboo, the forces that produced it, and its influence, particularly on US leaders. She analyzes four critical instances where US leaders considered using nuclear weapons (Japan 1945, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War 1991) and examines how the nuclear taboo has repeatedly dissuaded US and other world leaders from resorting to these 'ultimate weapons'. Through a systematic analysis, Tannenwald challenges conventional conceptions of deterrence and offers a compelling argument on the moral bases of nuclear restraint as well as an important insight into how nuclear war can be avoided in the future.

Inhalt: This work offers a comparative analysis of state practice with regard to the Geneva Conventions. It seeks to answer three questions of critical importance to understanding their role and impact: (1) How have the Geneva Conventions been incorporated into the laws and practices governing armed forces in particular countries? (2) In what ways has the Geneva regime constrained the behavior of states facing situations such as guerrilla warfare and terrorism, where one would expect the Conventions to come under the greatest pressure? (3) What factors have contributed to the successes and failures of the Geneva Conventions to protect human rights in wartime?

Inhalt: Ein nukleares Tabu wird als normatives Erklärungselement herangezogen, weshalb die USA seit 1945 keine Nuklearwaffen eingesetzt haben. Realistische Vertreter der Theorie Internationaler Beziehungen lehnen hingegen die Existenz bzw. den unabhängigen Einfluß einer solchen normativen Variable auf allgemeine Verhaltensmuster hinsichtlich eines Nicht-Einsatzes von Nuklearwaffen ab. Die Gegenthese des Artikels lautet: Erklärungen, die die normative Regel berücksichtigen, sind aussagefähiger als rein materialistische Begründungen eines Nicht-Einsatzes von Nuklear-Waffen. Als Folge von Normen werden regulierende, konstituierende und permissive Wirkungen aufgezeigt und beispielhafte Fälle für den Einfluß des "nuclear taboo" auf die außenpolitischen Entscheidungsprozesse der Vereinigten Staaten genannt (Japan 1945, Korea-Krieg 1950-53, Vietam-Krieg der 60er Jahre, Golfkrieg 1991). Schlußfolgerung: Normen beeinflussen das militärische Potential und damit die Praxis der Selbsthilfe im Internationalen System. (SWP-Ebg)

Inhalt: A multifaceted portrait of the Hiroshima bombing and its many legaciesOn August 6, 1945, in the waning days of World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The city's destruction stands as a powerful symbol of nuclear annihilation, but it has also shaped how we think about war and peace, the past and the present, and science and ethics. The Age of Hiroshima traces these complex legacies, exploring how the meanings of Hiroshima have reverberated across the decades and around the world.Michael D. Gordin and G. John Ikenberry bring together leading scholars from disciplines ranging from international relations and political theory to cultural history and science and technology studies, who together provide new perspectives on Hiroshima as both a historical event and a cultural phenomenon. As an event, Hiroshima emerges in the flow of decisions and hard choices surrounding the bombing and its aftermath. As a phenomenon, it marked a revolution in science, politics, and the human imagination-the end of one age and the dawn of another.The Age of Hiroshima reveals how the bombing of Hiroshima gave rise to new conceptions of our world and its precarious interconnectedness, and how we continue to live in its dangerous shadow today.
