 International crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Snyder [1] defines an international crisis a "...a sequence of interactions between the governments of two or more sovereign states in severe conflict, short of actual war, but involving the perception of a dangerously high probability of war".
With the exception of a justification of hostilities, the study of international crises assumes that neither side actually wants to go to war, but must be visibly prepared to do so.
For information on international crises that resulted immediately in war, see List of wars.

 IUCN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
The overall aim of the Red List is to convey the urgency and scale of conservation problems to the public and policy makers, and to motivate the global community to try to reduce species extinctions.
For the 1996 list 5,205 species were evaluated resulting in 25% of all mammals and 11% of all birds being listed as threatened.
The IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria are leading IUCN in new directions that will allow sophisticated biodiversity analyses, which will contribute to scientific discovery and to political policies related to conservation at local, national, and regional levels.

There was an increased use of risk bearers and a decreased use in risk generators as sources while the negative focus on risk generators increased, and a significant increase in the use of medical and legal sources.
Media Coverage of Risk Events: A Framing Comparison of Two Fatal Manufacturing Accidents Risk communication addresses how individuals, groups or organizations frame their pictures of the world by addressing scientific evaluations of risks, the perceptions lay people have of them, and actions that are warranted in light of the degree of risk and people's tolerance.
As Edelman (1988) argued, "It is language about political events, not the events in any other sense, that people experience; even developments that are close by take their meaning from the language that depicts them" (p.

 The IR Theory Knowledge Base
If you know of a particular IR theory, for example, that is not listed and described below, please e-mail the name of the theory and a brief description of it to Mark Beavis at mark.beavis@excite.com.
Its prime focus is on the transformation of three basic parameters: one at the micro level of individuals, another at the micro-macro level where individuals and their collectivities interact, and the third is at the macro level of collectivities and their global structures.
The central concept at the micro level involves a skill revolution, whereas at the micro-macro level it involves the pervasiveness of authority crises experienced by all kinds of collectivities; and at the macro level it posits a bifurcation of global structures into the state-centric world of sovereignty-bound actors and the multi-centric world of sovereignty-free actors.

 Talking With Students About Violent Events - Iraq War Edition
There is ample research which says that viewing television coverage of violent or tragic events is correlated with increased chances of post-traumatic symptomology later, so it is important to limit the amount of television coverage children watch, regardless of age.
Some children are reluctant to talk about violent events because their feelings of fear and confusion overwhelm them, or because they don’t feel confident that adults will be able to hear their concerns and respond to them in a way that makes sense.
Due to the way these events are often portrayed in the media, it is natural for some children to be fascinated and, at times, excited by them.

 Samantha Powers, "Bystanders to Genocide," Atlantic Monthly, September 2001
UNAMIR (the acronym by which it was known) was equipped with hand-me-down vehicles from the UN's Cambodia mission, and only eighty of the 300 that turned up were usable.
It is true that the precise nature and extent of the slaughter was obscured by the civil war, the withdrawal of U.S. diplomatic sources, some confused press reporting, and the lies of the Rwandan government.
It is circular because public opinion is rarely if ever aroused by foreign crises, even genocidal ones, in the absence of political leadership, and yet at the same time, American leaders continually cite the absence of public support as grounds for inaction.
