This article discusses some aspects of the changing structure and dynamics of the global humanitarian system with particular reference to non-governmental agencies and their increasingly diverse organisational philosophies and modes of intervention. The article has two goals. First, an analytical framework is proposed, based on game-theoretical concepts, which allows us broadly to classify different forms of non-governmental humanitarian action and their relations with states. Second, crucial changes regarding constraints and orientations which have reshaped the interactions between humanitarians and states in global society are explored – changes which cannot be understood without a closer look both at the interpretive cultures of specific aid agencies in different countries and at the operational arenas in which these agencies find themselves today. 相似文献

This article examines recent controversies over the relationship between human rights and intellectual property rights (IPRs).
Many activists have claimed that IPRs conflict with human rights. Others have argued that IPRs are themselves human rights.
The article approaches the debate as an opportunity to clarify the nature of IPRs in relation to human rights, as well as
the nature of contemporary struggles over these rights. After surveying the dual expansion of both human rights and IPRs and
rejecting the view that IPRs are rooted in human rights, the author investigates the example of the HIV/AIDS crisis and the
global Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines in order to illustrate attempts to represent IPRs as an outright threat
to human rights. Highlighting the limitations of a human rights-based critique of IPRs, he concludes by proposing to study
contemporary conflicts over IPRs and human rights as struggles for recognition and as struggles over the institutionalization
of a transnational “recognition order.”

Based mostly on extensive interviews with diplomats and human rights activists, this article questions the claim advanced
by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas that current transatlantic relations can be described in terms of a “Divided West.”
We examine the scope and depth of shared understandings between key actors in the United States, Germany, and Canada with
regard to the definition, monitoring, and implementation of international human rights and to the reform of human rights-related
mechanisms within the broader context of current UN reforms. While we do find differences between US, German, and Canadian
perspectives, we argue that the meaning attributed to these differences by diplomats and nongovernmental organizations does not justify the polarizing discourse
of the Divided West. In addition, we argue that this discourse tends to obfuscate other important trends in the human rights
world such as the growing assertiveness of non-Western powers. 相似文献
