Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What are the prospects and means of achieving development through a democratic politics of socio-economic rights Starting from the position that socio-economic rights are as legally and normatively valid as civil and political rights, this anthology explores the politics of acquiring and t…ransforming socio-economic rights in South Africa. The book brings together an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars in an examination of the multifaceted politics of social and economic policy-making, rights-based political struggles and socio-economic rights litigations. The post-apartheid South African experience shows that there is no guarantee that democracy will eliminate poverty or reduce social inequality, but also that democratic institutions and politics may provide important means for asserting interests and rights in regard to development. Thus it is argued that democratic politics of socio-economic rights may democratise development while also developing democracy.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book, prepared under the auspices of the ISA research committee on Comparative Sociology, focuses on a worldwide phenomenon: political mistrust, observable in almost all countries, in both established democracies and in authoritarian regimes.But ubiquity does not signify uniformity. T…he diversity of political regimes generates a multiplicity of forms and intensities of mistrust. Political mistrust seems inherent even in advanced democracies and in semi-democracies, where citizens are better prepared and more prone to criticize the dysfunctions of institutions and condemn the misconduct of politicians. Political mistrust is greatly nourished in many countries by a wide practice of public corruption. Of particular sociological interest is the vulnerability of political elites and of their frequent condemnation to 'civil death'.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This work brings together a number of papers written by experts, mostly senior and active international civil servants, but also retired staff, analyzing the measures taken in international organizations in order to obtain greater accountability. Codes of conduct have been introduced, as w…ell as more detailed measures of control. This has also required review of due process and dispute resolution provisions.The main objective of these codes of conduct is to foster appropriate behaviour of staff, but, ideally, these codes should also be instrumental in avoiding disputes, since staff knew more clearly what is expected of them. This book is a reflection of exchanges of views and information between administrative lawyers and, to some extent, investigators/prosecutors to ensure that the organizations become more transparent, corruption free and respective of the highest standards. Accountability and transparency have now become the rule, and increasingly also the practice. Much is still to be done, however. Discussions are ongoing in many organizations. This work's purpose is also to contribute to these discussions.In addition to the analytic and frank contributions, this work contains various documents of international organizations, reflecting the codes of conduct and charters of values now in place.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study examines North Germany during the transformative era of the French Revolution, Napoleonic occupation, and Wars of Liberation; it reveals international exploitation, military occupation, economic destruction of the city-state Hamburg as well as the republic's liberation and post-Napoleo…nic autonomy. Examining shifts within local culture and the role of public opinion on civic morality, this book underscores the relationship between the civic ethics, public language, and collective memory in the construction of political identity and concludes that the transformation in values at the local level ultimately provides the crucial direction in the process of modern nation-building. Throughout the 1800s, the public commemoration and memory of occupation and liberation, rather than the actual Napoleonic experience, shaped the development of German nationalism.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The essays in this volume focus on the relationship between Josephus' Judean and Jewish identity on the one hand, and his life and writings in the context of Flavian Rome on the other. From very different points of view the various contributions to this volume, which is the fruit of an internatio…nal colloquium entitled 'Josephus between Jerusalem and Rome' held in the city of Rome in 2003, shed light on the complex cultural interplay in Josephus' writings. After examining more general historiographical and literary questions, the volume proceeds to address specific issues of Josephus' presentation of Judaism and of historical 'data', inter alia about the war of 66-70 CE. A final section deals with the translation and transmission of his works.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This volume is about the long-neglected, but decisive influence of Uygur patrons on Dunhuang art in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Through an insightful introduction to the hitherto little-known early history and art of the Uygurs, the author explains the social and political forces that shape…d the taste of Uygur patrons. The cultural and political effects of Sino-Uygur political marriages are examined in the larger context of the role of high-ranking women in medieval art patronage. Careful study of the iconography, technique and style sheds new light on important paintings in the collection of the British Museum in London, and the Musée national des Arts asiatiques-Guimet, in Paris, and through comparative analysis the importance of regional art centres in medieval China and Central Asia is explored. Richly illustrated with line drawings, as well as colour and black-and-white plates.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Die Romane Brochs und Musils stehen zu Unrecht im Ruf, nicht narrativ, literaturfern, vorrangig theoretisch oder sogar Thesenromane zu sein. Anhand eines rhetorischen und narratologischen Instrumentariums deckt Gunther Martens erstmals systematisch die erzähltechnische Kreativität auf, die… beide Autoren zu bieten haben. Eine bisher unbekannte Bedeutung gewinnt dabei die Ebene der Erzählvermittlung. Dazu wird nachgewiesen, dass Auktorialität sich nicht länger mit Autorintentionalität oder mit den spekulatären Fällen von Allmacht oder Allwissen gleichsetzen lässt, sondern vielmehr rhetorische und narrative Textstrategien umfasst, mit denen die Perfomativität von Aussage- und Wahrnehmungsakten inszeniert wird. Die Untersuchung stellt diese als interdiskursiv charakterisierte Erzählvermittlung gleichzeitig in einen größeren theoretischen Zusammenhang, indem Brochs und Musils unterschiedliche Modernitätsauffassungen und -beobachtungen vor dem konzeptuellen und epistemologischen Hintergrund der Debatte zwischen der Kritischen Theorie und der so genannten 'affirmativen' Systemtheorie Niklas Luhmanns situiert werden. Über die Broch- und Musil-Lektüre hinaus bietet die Untersuchung zahleiche Anregungen zu einer Erzählrhetorik der overt narration und innovative Einsichten in das Verhältnis von Literatur und Philosophie, von (literarischer) Ideologiekritik und Systemtheorie.
