Projects, Ideas and Issues

This section provides an overview of all projects and innovative ideas on teaching and research about the UN.

NEW We have added a "social tagging" feature to our wiki and started to "tag" some of our articles, i.e. we assigned key words to each articles that define and describe the content (so-called meta-data). We hope that users of our wiki portal will continue this work.

All existing tags are displayed in the tag cloud below. This tag cloud is a major indicator of key content of our wiki portal (as valued by our users). Popular tags are tags that have been assigned very often; they appear in a larger font size than less prominent ones. If you click on a specific tag, you will receive a list of articles containing this tag.
 
ACUNS, concept, conference, criminal_justice, Diplomatic_Academy, education, generational viewpoints, human_rights, interdisciplinarity, journal, knowledge_about_UN, leadership, legal, ontology, peace, peacekeeping, perspectives_on_UN, practitioners, project, reform, regions, research, Secretary-General, social_network, summer school, supranational_ideas, teaching, technology, theory, tutorial, UN_Charter, wiki  

In the future, we will use these tags to better refine our clusters of issues we wish to concentrate on, e.g. in the framework of creating a CyberShelf with reference material for practitioners who teach.

As of now, there are five loose clusters around which we initially center our activities:

Framing a concept of UN Studies

Some of the questions our working group addresses in order to draw a core concept of UN Studies (see ConceptUnstudies):

  • What are problems, challenges and shortcomings in current UN-related research and teaching?
  • Why is there a need for a coherent, encompassing field of UN Studies?
  • What is the purpose of UN Studies?
  • What could be distinguisihing features of a future field of UN Studies?
  • What issues, topics, approaches, theories (content) shall it comprise?
