This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A theme that emerges from the papers on systemic transition selected from the IEA 1992 Congress in Moscow is the contemporary battle of post-communist countries with time.

It also has chapters on training, computers and capital adequacy. It recognises that different types of banks will apply the basic principles in ways reflecting their overall strategy and nature of their business. It adapts to these, but stresses strong warnings on certain policies or lack thereof. It is thus prescriptive rather than merely descriptive. 246 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this authoritative study, one of the first to appear in English, Erik Levi explores the ambiguous relationship between music and politics during one of the darkest periods of recent cultural history. Utilising material drawn from contemporary documents, journals and newspapers, he traces the evolution of reactionary musical attitudes which were exploited by the Nazis in the final years of the Weimar Republic, chronicles the mechanisms that were established after 1933 to regiment musical life throughout Germany and the occupied territories, and examines the degree to which the climate of xenophobia, racism and anti-modernism affected the dissemination of music either in the opera house and concert hall, or on the radio and in the media. 303 pp. Englisch.
