Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,5, London School of Economics (European Institute), course: MPhil/PhD Programme, language: English, abstract: This paper assesses the dynamics of EU-IMF interaction over the course of European monetary unification. Thereby, it adds to a growing body of literature on the external dimension of EU policy-making. To illustrate how EU-IMF relations have changed over the last 20 years, the paper first finds that member states remain the primary, but not the only actors. Second, it provides a descriptive account of EU-IMF relations in the observed period, both in its institutional and functional dimension. Its main finding is that institutional and functional interaction have not developed in parallel, i.e. that the increase in day-to-day engagement between the IMF and the EU through the activities of surveillance, lending and technical assistance, in particular as a result of the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone, has not corresponded to formalization of EU-Fund relations. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, printed single-sided, grade: 1,0, University College Cork (Department of Government), course: Übung Global Governance, language: English, abstract: In the realm of international politics, few debates have become as tedious as the quest for United Nations (UN) Security Council reform. After an overview of the SC's role and functions, this essay discuesses previous attempts of reform and the reform models at stake. Weighing the balance between efficiency and legitimacy, this essay argues that the addition of new permanent members and a change of veto regulations are red lines which cannot be crossed, and that, instead, the addition of six non-permanent members might be the least common denominator. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, LMU Munich (Englische Philologie), course: Hauptseminar Postcolonial Literature, language: English, abstract: Henry Rider Haggard is often considered as a crude imperialist and chauvinist expansionist ideals, whereas Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness has often been called the anti-imperialist novel par excellence. In this essay, I argue against this perspective. I claim thatin comparison to Heart of Darkness, which indeed projects Africa as a negative foil for Europe, Rider Haggard manages to give Africa and its inhabitants, despite his literary shortcomings, a graceful quality not found in Conrad's work. While both authors depict Africa as 'the other world' in the way their ambitions and prejudices create an image with little historical accuracy, Haggard's embellished social utopia fails to display the deep-seated anxiety towards Africa Achebe finds in Conrad. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: South Asia, grade: 1,1, University College Cork (Department of Government), course: GV 4403 - Dynamics of State Politics, language: English, abstract: The Indian state of Punjab is mentioned mostly for the secessionist activities of its Sikh majority, the assassination of Indira Ghandi marking their inglorious peak in 1984. But despite strong Sikh nationalism, Punjab's sub-political system is comparatively weak. While the region is well off in comparison to other Indian states, a number of political and economic problems persist. By looking at Punjab's political history and the evolution of Indian federalism, I assess the degree to which these problems can be attributed to flaws in the federal design. In my view, they result from three factors: deliberate constitutional arrangements, especially regarding revenues, over-complexity and underdevelopment of local politics, and the political implications of Punjab's Sikh heritage. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, LMU Munich (Englische Philologie), course: Proseminar Postcolonial Literature, language: English, abstract: Ever since its publication in 1999, J.M. Coetzee's award-winning novel Disgrace has stirred up a lot of controversy. Its negative depiction of blacks has been seen as an endorsement of white racist stereotypes. In this essay, I first analyze the degree of realism in Disgrace. Second, I assess how Disgrace can be read as a criticism of 'New South Africa', a decade after the dismantling of the Apartheid system. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Munich (TUM School of Management), language: English, abstract: A significant number of incubators and accelerators have emerged to support start-ups aiming to solve societal or environmental problems. However, there is still limited understanding of how these ventures perceive the value proposition of incubators and accelerators - and whether their support needs differ from those of conventional start-ups. This study utilizes the framework of organizational sponsorship to explore the acceleration of social start-ups. It is based on in-depth interviews with the founders of 10 start-ups from an impact-oriented incubator in Duisburg, Germany. Through an inductive study of multiple cases, this research generates three main insights. First, the social-mission focus of these ventures leads to significant differences as compared to commercial ventures in how they perceive incubator benefits. Second, social start-ups profit more from intangible resources such as social capital and knowledge than from tangible resources such as seed funding. Third, incubators and accelerators need to adapt their service offerings to address the needs of social start-ups. This study contributes to the understanding of entrepreneurial support by presenting a systematic assessment of incubator and accelerator services from the perspective of social start-ups. Its main theoretical contribution is to extend the organizational sponsorship framework by proposing a novel support mechanism: impact acceleration. It provides practical recommendations for not only funders and managers of incubators and accelerators but also social start-ups seeking entrepreneurial support.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: 1,0, LMU Munich (Geschwister Scholl Institute for Political Sciences), language: English, abstract: Against the backdrop of the renminbi issue, this paper retraces the unique trajectory of the international law (IL) on exchange rates - from the lawlessness of the gold standard to a highly regulated system under Bretton Woods and back to the obscure arrangement that has prevailed ever since the Second Amendment of the IMF's Articles of Agreement. By employing the concept of legalization, it argues that international monetary stability is a public good which, as a collective action problem, provides strong incentives for cooperation. However, the analysis of the IMF's bilateral surveillance regime reveals that after the Second Amendment hard legalization no longer served the interests of the IMF membership, while the costs of hard legal rules tipped the scale in favour of soft commitments. Specifically, the paper finds that exchange rates are subject to high uncertainty costs stemming from measurement difficulties, complexity, goal incongruence and subjectivity; as well as sover-eignty costs due to reputational damage, distributional impact and loss of monetary power. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Westeuropa, Note: 2,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Geschwister-Scholl-Institut für Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Übung Politische Systeme, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Tradition des Parlamentarismus sieht sich in Irland in Gestalt des nationalen Parlaments, des Oireachtas, verwirklicht. Seiner direkten Legitimation entsprechend repräsentiert es den Volkswillen, der jegliches staatliche Handeln bindet. Doch nicht anders als in anderen Staaten wird das irische Parlament diesem hehren Anspruch nicht immer gerecht: stetig wird seine Bedeutung durch verschiedene Faktoren ausgehöhlt. Dieser Problematik soll diese Arbeit gewidmet sein. …

Forscher haben gezeigt, dass Rousseaus Konzept auf das Geschworenentheorem von des Marquis de Condorcet zurückgeht. Dieser Arbeit versucht das Verständnis des Gesellschaftsvertrag zu erleichtern, indem sie ihn in Bezug zu Condorcets Schriften setzt. …

Sie prüft, inwiefern China gegen die Verpflichtungen des IWF-Abkommens verstößt, das nach Art. 4 die Manipulation des Wechselkurses verbietet. Diese Arbeit kommt zum Schluss, dass dies aus objektiver, nicht jedoch aus subjektiver Sicht bejaht werden kann. Insofern bleibt das Völkerrecht in Währungsfragen ein stumpfes Schwert. …

Diese Arbeit prüft, inwiefern das WTO-Streitbeilegungsmechanismus Entwicklungsländern eine faire und effektive Durchsetzung ihrer Interessen ermöglicht.…
