Prof. Geldenhuys annab Skytte instituudis kaks loengut tavapärasest hälbiva olukorra kohta rahvusvaheliste suhete areenil. Loengud toimuvad inglise keeles.

Eriliselt vaidlustatud riigid. Lõuna-Aafrika “sõltumatud” mustanahaliste kodumaad

In academic studies of contested (or de facto) states, the fate of Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei is largely overlooked. These four former black African homelands or Bantustans became nominally independent states during the era of apartheid in South Africa. Like other contested states (e.g. Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Northern Cyprus and Somaliland), the so-called TBVC states met the basic requirements of statehood, but lacked international recognition. The reasons for the universal rejection of the four entities’ statehood make them contested states of a special kind. They could not survive the demise of apartheid in 1994.

Kohandamatu käitumise väljavaated rahvusvahelises poliitikas

Non-conformist (or rule-breaking or deviant) behaviour is common in international politics; we live in a world of saints and sinners among states and also non-state actors. This reality opens up endless opportunities for academic studies of bad behaviour in world politics. What rules have been broken? Who made the rules? Who are the rule-breakers among states and non-state actors? Who steps in to uphold common rules? What consequences do rule-breakers face for their errant conduct? The presenter will outline the types of non-conformist behaviour he has studied and the analytical tools used:

• Foreign policy making by a rule-breaking state
• A comparison of the international isolation experienced by several such states
• The ‘remaking’ of previously rule-breaking states after the Cold War
• Types of deviant behaviour among states and non-state actors since the Cold War
• Contested states as international outcasts
• The politics of persecution
