From Kosovo Rush to Mass Atrocities’ Hush. German Debates since Unification
Germany’s involvement in the Kosovo War marked its first active participation in combat operations since the Second World War. For many observers at the time, the intervention represented a fundamental policy shift in the West, and in Germany in particular. Mass atrocities, no longer to be observed from the sidelines, were now to be actively prevented. Twenty years later, this stance seems rather puzzling. Mass atrocities continued to be committe…

What Is a Safe Area? Definition, Typology and Empirical Cases
In today’s conflicts, the number of people needing physical protection is at an all-time high. Often, protection is provided by the creation of safe areas.

Safe areas for the protection of civilians. An overview of existing research and scholarship
Safe areas for the protection of civilians remain a possible instrument in the foreign policy-making toolbox.

Males used more scientific words and more body part words than females. In contrast to the previous study…
