Cornell studies in security affairsBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-322-50482-2 0-8014-5003-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.The dilemma -- Negotiating mediation -- Why accept mediation? -- Raison d'être : short-term benefits of mediation -- The struggle for self-enforcing peace -- Mediation in intrastate conflicts -- Implications, applications, and conclusions.Mediation has become a common technique for terminating violent conflicts both within and between states; while mediation has a strong record in reducing hostilities, it is not without its own problems. In The Mediation Dilemma, Kyle Beardsley highlights its long-term limitations. The result of this oft-superficial approach to peacemaking, immediate and reassuring as it may be, is often a fragile peace. With the intervention of a third-party mediator, warring parties may formally agree to concessions that are insupportable in the long term and soon enough find themselves at odds again.Beardsley examines his argument empirically using two data sets and traces it through several historical cases: Henry Kissinger's and Jimmy Carter's initiatives in the Middle East, 1973-1979; Theodore Roosevelt's 1905 mediation in the Russo-Japanese War; and Carter's attempt to mediate in the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis. He also draws upon the lessons of the 1993 Arusha Accords, the 1993 Oslo Accords, Haiti in 1994, the 2002 Ceasefire Agreement in Sri Lanka, and the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding in Aceh. Beardsley concludes that a reliance on mediation risks a greater chance of conflict relapse in the future, whereas the rejection of mediation risks ongoing bloodshed as war continues.The trade-off between mediation's short-term and long-term effects is stark when the third-party mediator adopts heavy-handed forms of leverage, and, Beardsley finds, multiple mediators and intergovernmental organizations also do relatively poorly in securing long-term peace. He finds that mediation has the greatest opportunity to foster both short-term and long-term peace when a single third party mediates among belligerents that can afford to wait for a self-enforcing arrangement to be reached.Cornell studies in security affairs.Mediation, InternationalConflict managementPeace-buildingDiplomatic negotiations in international disputesPacific settlement of international disputesElectronic books.Mediation, International.Conflict management.Peace-building.Diplomatic negotiations in international disputes.Pacific settlement of international disputes.327.1/7Beardsley Kyle1979-1048793MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458153703321The mediation dilemma2477304UNINA04585nam 22005655 450 99654317030331620230808014301.090-485-1990-X10.1515/9789048519903(CKB)5710000000146431(DE-B1597)653603(DE-B1597)9789048519903(MiAaPQ)EBC30541627(Au-PeEL)EBL30541627(EXLCZ)99571000000014643120230808h20142014 fg engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTechnè/Technology Researching Cinema and Media Technologies, their Development, Use and Impact /Annie Oever1st ed.Amsterdam : Amsterdam University Press, [2014]©20141 online resource (413 p.)The Key Debates: Mutations and Appropriations in European Film Studies ;4Frontmatter -- Contents -- Editorial -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Researching Cinema and Media Technologies -- PART I Philosophy of Technology: Reassessing Key Questions -- The Philosophy of Technology in the Frame of Film Theory: Walter Benjamin’s Contribution -- Toward an Archaeology of the Cinema/ Technology Relation: From Mechanization to “Digital Cinema” -- Technē and Poiēsis: On Heidegger and Film Theory -- Stiegler’s Post-Phenomenological Account of Mediated Experience -- What Are Media? -- PART II Cinema and Media Technologies: Hardware, Software, Wetware -- The “History of Vision”-Debate Revisited -- Will the 3D Revolution Happen?

Comprehensive as well as innovative, it is not organized around a single thesis — except the assertion that technique is a major concern for fi lm and media scholars, whether this is approached in terms of philosophy, techno-aesthetics, semiotics, apparatus theory, (new) fi lm history, media archaeology, the industry or the sensory/cognitive experience.The Key Debates: Mutations and Appropriations in European Film StudiesCinematographyTechnological innovationsMotion picturesTechnological innovationsTechnology in motion picturesPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / GeneralbisacshMedia Technology.CinematographyTechnological innovations.Motion picturesTechnological innovations.Technology in motion pictures.PERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / General.Oever Annie, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1423435Chateau Dominique, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbChristie Ian, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbCooley Heidi Rae, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbCrogan Patrick, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996543170303316Technè3551187UNISA02467nam a2200265 i 450099100426522600753620251022090127.0190218s2019 enka rb 001 0 eng d9781108496988Bibl.

The fundamental tools of particle physics are introduced and accompanied by historical profiles charting the development of the field. Theory and experiment are closely linked, with descriptions of experimental techniques used at CERN accompanied by detail on the physics of the Large Hadron Collider and the strong and weak forces that dominate proton collisions. Recent experimental results are featured, including the discovery of the Higgs boson. Equations are supported by physical interpretations, and end-of-chapter problems are based on data sets from a range of particle physics experiments including dark matter, neutrino, and collider experiments. A solutions manual for instructors is available online. Additional features include worked examples throughout, a detailed glossary of key terms, appendices covering essential background material, and extensive references and further reading to aid self-study, making this an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduates in physicsParticles (Nuclear physics)ebook version :9781108579407991004265226007536Elementary particle physics4452502UNISALENTO
