    Keywords: Honey trade ; Rājī (Indic people) Social life and customs. ; Tarai (India and Nepal) ; South Africa ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: At the foothills of the Himalaya, along the border separating India and Nepal, Raji nomads still hunt for wild honey. They scale the trees of the great Terai forest, risking their lives to harvest the honey of the apis laboriosa - the largest migratory bee in the world. Both slave and master of the bees, Bahadur defies the towering trees and braves death for the survival of his people. After discovering written accounts of the Raji' way of life, photographer and filmmaker Eric Valli set out to discover what had become of these nomadic people.

    Keywords: Chachapoya Indians Antiquities. ; Peru. ; France ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: A people who lived on the brink of the abyss and buried their dead on sheer cliffs, defying all logic ... the Chachapoya culture flourished between 800 and 1500 AD in northern Peru, at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. No one knows for sure whether the Chachapoyas came out of the jungles or the mountains, but they settled in a place that seems impossibly difficult to live in: the mountainous fringes of the Peruvian jungle. An Explora Films team made up of specialists in high-risk film shoots, speleologists, mountain rescue experts, and archaeologists has reached the depths of Chachapoya territory to study their habits and customs. This group of specialists has explored the funerary 'chulpas,' or tombs, located on the sheer walls of the region's towering cliffs. The unimaginable constructions, enigmatic paintings and rock carvings, mummies that appear to communicate encrypted messages, and mysterious sarcophagi perched on rocky ledges have been examined by the archaeologists on the expedition. Looking for answers, this documentary shines a light on many of the unexplained mysteries hidden in the mountains and canyons of the Chachapoyas.

    Keywords: Excavations (Archaeology) ; Altai Mountains. ; Mongolia. ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: In the frozen steppes of the Altay, a Franco-Mongolian archeological expedition prepares to excavate the tomb of an Eastern Scythian warrior, 2 300 years old. Their ritual practice of deep burial of the dead, in combination with extreme climatic conditions, may mean that these scientists will discover the last frozen tombs on the planet, and will elucidate the mysteries surrounding this Scythian horseman. Who was he? How did he live? How did he die? This investigation will enable new light to be shed on this forgotten civilization. Alongside the excavations, a family of Kazakh nomads have set up their summer camp, attracted by the unusual activity. Striking similarities appear between the lifestyles and practices of these Kazakhs and the Eastern Scythians, two millennia apart in time. Intertwined with the archeological research is thus a fascinating ethno-archeological study, of one of the last peoples still isolated from modernity, and their possible very ancient ancestors. But for the Kazakhs too, the question arises - how long will they survive in their isolation?

    Keywords: Die Linke ; Kritische Diskursanalyse ; Politische Diskurs Analyse ; Deutsche Politik ; Diskursive Strategien ; Die Linke ; critical discourse analysis ; political discourse analysis ; discursive strategies ; German politics ; Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Anthropologie
    Abstract: Die Abschlussarbeit „Die Linke: A Political Discourse Analysis“ versucht zu verstehen a) wie und mit welchen Mitteln Sprache in der Politik strategisch genutzt wird, um Wähler zu beeinflussen b) welcher sozialer und politischer Kontext sich auf die Bildung von politischen Diskursen auswirkt c) welche Art von Effekten politische Diskurse auf aktuelle ‚policy making‘ Prozesse haben. Analysiert wird die Partei Die Linke. Das Ziel der Studie ist nicht, der schon existierenden Literatur über Die Linke, welche versucht den Erfolg der Partei mit dem rückläufigen wirtschaftlichen Wohlstand der Massen und dem erfolglosen ‚policy making‘ der anderen Parteien zu erklären, zu widersprechen. Um den Aufstieg von Die Linke besser verständlich zu machen, sollen jedoch linguistische Dimensionen der Analyse hinzugefügt werden. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, untersucht die Arbeit zuerst die diskursiven Strategien eines ausgewählten Texts und diskutiert anschließend die kontextualen Auswirkungen auf die beobachteten Strategien, in dem die Grundlagen der Kritischen Diskurs Analyse herangezogen werden. Die zentrale Hypothese dieser Untersuchung ist, dass der politische Diskurs von Die Linke als Teil einer politischen Strategie betrachtet werden sollte, welche versucht gegenhegemoniale diskursive Praktiken zu kreieren und darauf abzielt Prozesse des ‚policy-making‘ zu beeinflussen. Dass Die Linke erfolgreich die Lücke im linken Spektrum füllen konnte, hängt nicht nur mit dem erfolglosen ‚policy-making‘ der anderen Parteien zusammen, sondern ist auch der Kompetenz der Partei, Wähler mit Hilfe von politischen Diskursen zu beeinflussen, geschuldet.
    Abstract: The thesis ‘Die Linke: A Political Discourse Analysis’ tries to understand a) how and by which means language in politics can be strategically used in order to influence voters b) what kind of social and political context have an influence on the formation of political discourses and c) what kind of effects do political discourses have on actual policy making processes on the basis of the analysis of The Left Party (Die Linke in German). The overall aim of this study is not to oppose the already existing literature on Die Linke, which try to explain the party’s success with the declining economic prosperity of the masses and the unsuccessful policy making of its opponents but to add the linguistic dimension to the analysis in order to understand the rise of Die Linke more comprehensively. In order to achieve this aim, the research first identifies the discursive strategies of the selected text and then discusses the contextual impacts on the observed discursive strategies by adopting the main principles of Critical Discourse Analysis. The main hypothesis of this research is that political discourses of Die Linke should be considered as a part of the political strategy which tries to create counter-hegemonic discursive practices and aims to affect policy-making process. Die Linke’s success for filling the gap in the left is not only dependent on other parties’ unsuccessful policy-making but also on the party’s capacity to influence voters by its political discourses.

    Abstract: In dieser Masterarbeit wird eine konstruktivistische Diskursanalyse durchgeführt um die These zu unterstüt-zen, dass eine grundlegende Umgestaltung im amerikanischen Verständnis der türkisch-amerikanischen Be-ziehung unter Präsident Obama im zuge eines übergeordneten Wandels der amerikanischen Außenpolitik stattgefunden hat. Anhand einer analytischen Betrachtung diverser hochrangiger Diskurse und Präsidenten-Reden seit der Ära Ronald Reagans versucht diese Arbeit den chronologischen Weg der amerikanischen Au-ßenpolitik anhand politischer Sprache, politischem Handeln und struktureller Veränderung, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Türkei, aufzuzeigen. Die Formbarkeit dieser Beziehung soll mittels Anwendung der konstruktivistischen Theorie besonders hervorgehoben werden. Zudem wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich das Verständnis amerikanischer Führungspolitiker in Bezug auf ihre Rolle in der Welt und der Beziehung zur Türkei, abseits des strikten Kurs des Realismus, in den letzten Jahrzehnten verändert hat.
    Abstract: Using a constructivist discourse analysis, this thesis argues that there has been a fundamental shift in the American understanding of the U.S.-Turkish relationship under President Obama, situated within a broader change in the nature of American foreign policy making. By analyzing presidential and other high-level dis-course beginning in the Reagan era, this thesis examines the chronological path of American foreign policy, specifically in relation to Turkey, delving into political language, actions, and structural changes. By engaging constructivist theory, this thesis highlights the fluid nature of relations, endeavoring to answer the underly-ing question of how the high-level understanding of the U.S. role in world affairs generally, and in relation to Turkey specifically, has moved beyond a strict realist foundation over the past decades.

    Abstract: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die strukturellen Determinanten der türkischen Politik auf dem Balkan in der letzten Zeit zu erklären. Es wird versucht, mit einem konstruktivistischen Ansatz der internationalen Beziehungen und Alexander Wendts Auffassung über die Agentur-Struktur-Beziehungen in der internationalen Politik fol-gende Fragen zu beantworten: Ob und inwieweit werden das traditionelle Verständnis der Außenpolitik, die Identität und das Verhalten der neuen Akteure in der türkischen Außenpolitik beeinflusst?; Welche Elemente der "alten" idealistischen Struktur können in den aktuellen Beziehungen zwischen der Türkei und dem Balkan beobachtet werden? Ich benutze die außenpolitischen Grundsätze der Türkei, welche aus der Zeit der Grün-dung der Republik bis zum Ende des Kalten Krieges wahrnehmbar sind, als eine gegebene Struktur und ver-suche zu zeigen, wie sie die Gestaltung der sogenannten neuen türkischen Außenpolitik und das Verhalten der Türkei auf dem Balkan in der Zeit von 2009, als Ahmet Davutoğlu das Amt des Außenministers nahm, beeinflussen. Ich bin der Meinung, dass diese traditionellen Prinzipien ein grundlegender Teil Davutoğlus Vorstellung über die türkischen Beziehungen mit dem Balkan bilden und dass sie in den außenpolitischen Be-ziehungen zu den Balkan-Ländern sogar noch sichtbarer sind. In diesem Sinne unterstütze ich das Argu-ment, dass keine große Veränderung in der ideellen Struktur der Außenpolitik der Türkei seit dem Amtsan-tritt Davutoğlu passiert ist und dass die seit langem etablierten Prinzipien der türkischen Außenpolitik noch immer nachvollziehbar in der AKP - Ära liegen.
    Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to use the constructivist approach to international relations and Alexander Wendt's conception of agency-structure relationships in international politics to explain structural determinants of Turkey's policy towards the Balkans in the recent period. I’ll try to answer the question of how and to what extent the traditional foreign policy understanding influences the identity and behavior of new actors in Tur-key’s foreign policy and which are the elements of the “old” ideational structure that could be observed in the current relations between Turkey and the Balkans. I take Turkey’s foreign policy principles, observable from the period of founding of the Republic till the end of the Cold War as a given structure, and try to show how they influence the formulation of what is called Turkey’s new foreign policy and the behavior of Turkey towards the Balkans in the period from 2009, when Ahmet Davutoğlu took office of Minister of Foreign Af-fairs. I argue that traditional principles constitutively participate in Davutoğlu’s imagination of Turkey’s rela-tion with the Balkans and are even more observable in its foreign policy behavior towards Balkan countries. In that sense I support the argument that there was no great shift in the ideational structure of Turkey’s for-eign policy since Davutoğlu took office and that long-established principles of Turkish foreign policy are still traceable in the AKP Era.

    Keywords: panel data ; residential water demand ; water pricing ; price elasticity ; Landwirtschaft, Veterinärmedizin ; Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Anthropologie
    Abstract: Based on panel data from the City of Davis, California, comprising more than 15,000 urban water consumption units and 81 billing periods over 13 years, this study investigates residential water demand and the effectiveness of three structural water conservation measures. The city switched from a uniform to an increasing block pricing scheme, introduced a second tariff block for single-family residential households, and changed the calculation logic for the household sewer rate. An instrumental fixed effects regression analysis results in a price elasticity of -0.19 for residential consumers. The data also suggests that all structural tariff adjustments were effective, even under consideration of the general economic situation. This is the first study which demonstrates the effectiveness of coupling the sewer rate with a proxy for indoor water consumption on a household level.

    Abstract: Gentrification - a process of replacement of a poorer population in an urban neighborhood with a richer one and the change of the looks of this respective neighborhood - has become a widespread topic of societal debate in recent years. This process is connected to public art and cultural activities, and sometimes triggered by projects of urban revitalization by the respective cities. Public libraries are part of this process, as they are used in the concepts of urban revitalization as institutions of public culture. This puts them in an uneasy position, as they also become part in processes of repulsion of socially vulnerable groups. The text will discuss the position of public libraries in respect to gentrification, using the processes in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland, as a case study.

    Abstract: We journey through the north coast of Peru following the archaeological remains of the Moche culture, which thrived from the 1st Century BC to the 6th Century AD. Starting from the colonial city of Trujillo, this documentary reveals to us everything that can be seen along this route covering the desert, the Pacific Ocean, and the Andes. We discover spectacular island landscapes, parched wastelands, forests, inlets, beaches, canyons, and perpetually snowy peaks. We visit cities steeped in history and small villages near the archaeological digs, which unveil this mysterious land's past since the dawn of time.

    Abstract: Mit Hinweis darauf, dass sich rechts-populistische Bewegungen immer mehr in der westlichen Welt verbrei-ten, ist eine Neubewertung des extrem rechten politischen Denkens und der Bereitschaft in der Bevölkerung dies zu unterstützen angesagt. Dies is besonders notwendig aufgrund der Flut des kürzlichen Tea Party-esquen Aktivismus in Nordamerika, in Form der unverhohlenen Verehrung für die von 'Menschen angeführ-ten' pro Markt Revolution und der so genannten "Minutemen" Miliz, und die umfassende Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit zwischen den verschiedenen rechtsextremen Bewegungen in den europäischen Natio-nen, bis hin zu den jüngsten Gräueltaten in Norwegen. Dieses Papier stellt einen wichtigen Schritt auf dem Weg dar, die Probleme bezüglich rechts-populistischer Tendenzen der heutigen Zeit zu addressieren, vor al-lem im sozialen Bereich, wo viele Menschen Gefahr laufen, von diesen Bewegungen stark ausgegrenzt zu werden. Durch die vergleichende Analyse wirft diese Untersuchung einen Blick auf zwei rechts-populistische Bewegungen: die Tea Party in den USA und Pro-Köln in Deutschland und wie sie sich in einer Reihe von Vari-ablen unterscheiden, auch wenn ihre Anforderungen an die Gesellschaft sehr ähnlich sind.
    Abstract: With evidence that right-wing populist movements are becoming increasingly more widespread throughout the Western world, a reevaluation of far-right political thought and their propensity for popular support is in order. This is particularly necessary given the spate of recent Tea Party-esqe ‘activism’ throughout North America, in the form of unabashed reverence for ‘people-led’ pro market revolution and so called ‘minute-men’ militia, and the extensive communication and cooperation between the various far-right movements throughout the European nations, capped by the recent atrocities in Norway. This paper shall provide an im-portant stepping stone into addressing the very real problems concerning rightwing populist trends of today, particularly in the social realm, where many people run the risk of being severely marginalized by these movements. Through comparative analysis, this exploration takes a look at two right-wing populist move-ments, The Tea Party in America and Pro-Köln in Germany, and how they differ in a range of variables, even though their demands on society are very similar.

    Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Natur der russisch-türkischen Handelspartnerschaft und fokussiert de-ren Kooperation im natürlichen Gas Sektor. Dabei werden die jeweiligen globalen Bestreben der Länder, ihre Strategien in der Energiepolitik und ihre Motivationen im Handel miteinander ausführlich erforscht. Ziel ist es, die Energieziele und die Zufriedenheit der beiden Länder im Rahmen einer erweiterten Energie Partner-schaft zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zeigen, dass eine neue Ordnung in der Welt Vormachtstel-lung annimmt, die wiederrum von neoliberalen Zügen geprägt ist. Russland und die Türkei sind globale und regionale Potenzen, welche sich im internationalen freien Markt integrieren wollen. In dem sie neue Strate-gien umsetzen, suchen sie ihre Positionen als Hauptakteure in den weltweiten Märkten zu konsolidieren. Trotz signifikanter politischer Unterschiede, stellen Russland und die Türkei den „Pragmatismus“ und die „Unabhängigkeit“ an die erste Stelle ihrer Agenda. Beide Länder wissen, dass sie abhängig voneinander sind, um wirtschaftlich zu wachsen und dass eine multidimensionale ökonomische Allianz eine wichtige Perspektive in regionalen und globalen Punkten darstellt.
    Abstract: This thesis examines the nature of Russian-Turkish trade partnership with particular focus on their coopera-tion in the natural gas sector. In so doing, countries’ Global Aspirations, their Energy Strategies, the role of their National Champions in attaining countries’ broader objectives, and lastly their motivations in trading with each other are extensively explored for to understand the extent to which countries’ energy objectives are fulfilled in the framework of broader energy partnership. The findings of the research suggest that in a new world order influenced by virtues of neoliberal policy Rus-sia and Turkey, aspiring to rise as global and regional powers, are seeking to integrate themselves into the global free market system. By developing new and applicable strategies, they are aiming to consolidate their positions as major actors in the global markets. Hence, despite significant political differences, respective countries continue their trade by placing 'pragmatism' and 'interdependence' high on agenda for Russia and Turkey understand that they need each other for economic growth and that their multidimensional trade partnership holds a prospect for achieve-ment of their Regional and Global aspirations.

    Abstract: Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht theoretisch und empirisch gesundheitliche Selektionsprozesse auf dem deutschen Arbeitsmarkt und wie diese durch soziale Kontextfaktoren beeinflusst werden. Aufbauend auf der Humankaiptaltheorie werden eine reihe von Hypothesen aufgestellt über den kausalen Effekt der subjektiven Gesundheit und der krankheitsbedingten Fehltage auf den Jobstatus. Die Humankapitaltheorie wird so erweitert, dass der Effekt der Gesundheit mit dem Grad der Benachteiligung einer Person und dem Grad der sozialen Schließung des Jobs variieren kann. Konkret werden die moderierenden Einflüsse des Geschlechts und des öffentlichen versus privaten Sektors sowie der Geschlechteranteile im Beruf untersucht. Die empirische Analysen werden auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) durchgeführt. Verschiedene Methoden werden angewandt, um kausale Effekte der subjektiven Gesundheit auf den Jobstatus zu schätzen. Weiterhin wird eine Dekomposition der gesamten gesundheitlichen Ungleichheit in zeit-konstante und zeit-variante Faktoren und auf gesundheitlicher Selektion basierende Prozesse durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass gesundheitliche Selektion für Frauen im privaten Sektor gefunden werden kann, nicht aber im öffentlichen Sektor und auch nicht für Männer. Für krankheitsbedingte Fehltage kann ein kausaler Effekt für Männer im privaten Sektor gefunden werden, nicht aber im öffentlichen Sektor oder für Frauen. Unter den gewählten Bedingungen der Studie, sind gesundheitliche Selektionsprozesse daher eher in offenen Positionen und für Gruppen, die einer Benachteiligung gegenüber stehen zu finden.
    Abstract: In this PhD-thesis the social context of health selection processes on the German labor market are investigated theoretically and empirically. Based on human capital theory a number of hypotheses about the causal effect of subjective health and sickness absence on job status are derived. The theory is modified to allow the effect of health to vary with the degree of disadvantage a person faces and the degree of social closure of the job. In concrete terms, the moderating effect of gender and public versus private sector are investigated, as well as the occupational gender composition. The empirical analyses are based on the Socio-economic panel study (SOEP) using different methods to estimate causal effects of subjective health on subsequent job status. A decomposition of overall health inequalities into effects attributable to time-constant, time-varying confounders and into health selection processes is presented. The results show that health selection is present for women in the private sector, but not for men nor in the public sector. Sickness absence shows the strongest effects for men in the private sector, but not for women nor in the public sector. For the chosen setting, health selection processes are strongest in open positions and for groups that are disadvantaged.

    Abstract: Für die EU - vielleicht der wichtigste Akteur, der für das Verhindern der weiteren Ausbreitung von Massen-zerstörungswaffen eingetreten ist und immer noch eintritt - sind die Verhandlungen mit dem Iran im Zu-sammenhang mit dem iranischen Nuklear-Programm sehr wichtig; vor allem wenn man auf die zukünftigen weltweiten Sicherheitsmaβnamen blickt. Wenn aber die Resultate dieser Verhandlungen genauer betrachtet werden wird deutlich, dass sowohl die Strategien der E3, sowie der späteren EU, nur von geringer Bedeutung geblieben sind. Im Groβen und Ganzen ist es nicht gelungen den Iran dazu zu bewegen, auf die Forderungen der internationalen Gemeinschaft einzugehen. Diese Dissertation versucht das Engagement der EU näher zu diskutieren und geht im Besonderen auf die „Coercive Diplomacy“ des Irans ein, um zu untersuchen inwiefern diese Strategie in der Realpolitik des Irans sichtbar wird. Wichtig in diesem Zusammenhang ist zu erörtern, ob diese Art von Diplomatie Erfolge aufzeigt und welche möglichen negativen Konsequenzen sie mitbringt. Auf dem Gebiet der Analysen und Ausarbei-tungen der „Coercive Diplomacy“ wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit Alexander George’s Theorie als wichtigste Expertenmeinung hinzugezogen.
    Abstract: As one main actor seeking for non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the negotiations with Iran on its nuclear programme looms large in the EU’s aspirations for future security matters. However, consider-ing the outcomes of the negotiation process with Iran so far, it is apparent that both the initial E3 and then the EU strategies could not manage to dissuade Iran from its non-compliance with the demands of the inter-national community. This study tries to examine the European Union’s engagement with Iran on its nuclear programme in terms of coercive diplomacy implementations of the EU over Iran. In this regard; the concep-tual framework of the coercive diplomacy theory and the practical employment of the theory into the case are respectively dealt with. Thus, the major aim of this thesis is to answer the questions of, first, to what ex-tend the EU has achieved applying a successful coercive diplomacy strategy over Iran and second, what parts of its strategy have not been meeting the conditions favoring an eventual success. With an eye to dif-ferent depictions and analyzes subscribed by scholars through time, through this study the contributions conducted by Alexander George to the theorization of coercive diplomacy will be taken as the primary meth-odological assessment.

    Abstract: Diese Untersuchung soll zeigen, inwieweit die aktuellen Methoden, die sich rund um die Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) entwickeln, in den Rahmen der neoliberalen Kunst des Regierens in der Türkei eingebettet werden können. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass seine Bedeutung im Verlauf der letzten zehn Jahre weiter gewachsen ist, findet das Konzept immer mehr Beachtung seitens verschiedener Unternehmen und der akademischen Welt auf sich. Während sich der größte Teil der Literatur damit beschäftigt, wer die Akteure der CSR sind und was diese tun, versucht diese Untersuchung darüber hinaus zu gehen und unter Anwendung von ‚Governmentality Studies' die Rationalität hinter dem Aufkommen und der Entwicklung des Konzepts in der Türkei zu erforschen.
    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to show to what extend the current practices evolving around Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be placed in the realm of neo-liberal art of governing in Turkey. Having become increasingly relevant in the last decade, the concept has been attracting more and more attention from various organizations and academia. While most of the literature deals with who the CSR actors are and what they do, this study attempts to go beyond that and explore the rationality behind the emergence and development of the concept in Turkey, through the application of governmentality studies.

    Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, ausgehend von Michel Foucaults Theorie der „Governmentalität“, Prakti-ken der “Rückkehrförderung irregulärer Migrant_innen“ in Deutschland alsTechniken neoliberalen Regierens globaler „Migrationsströme“. „Regierung“ wird im Sinne Foucaults als „die Führung der Führungen“ konzep-tualisiert, und umfasst somit weit mehr als den Staatsapparat. Es wird eine Genealogie von Formen der Rückkehrförderung in Deutschland aufgezeichnet, welche sich heute verstärkt auf die Person des_der irregu-lären Migrant_in beziehen. Diese Genealogie wird dann zu sich verändernden Rationalisierungen von Migrati-on und globalem Raum in Relation gesetzt. Ich komme zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Einflussnahme auf als ir-regulär subjektivierte Migrant_innen in einer neoliberalen Regierungsrationalität relevant wird,weil diese den freien Fluss der „regulären“ Migrant_innen gefährden.Regulierter freier Fluss reguläre Migrant_innen wiede-rum ist in einer als globaler Raum konzeptualisierten Welt wichtig, da er einen globalen Markt für Humanka-pital darstellt.Weiterhin können aktuelle Programme der „Förderung freiwilliger Rückkehr“ als neoliberale Re-gierungstechniken interpretiert werden, die sich in dasdiskursive Feld der Migration ausbreiten. Dies bedeu-tet nicht, das souveräne Techniken wie Abschiebung durch diese Techniken ersetzt wurden; vielmehr bildet sich ein diskursives Feld des „Regierens von Rückkehr“ heraus, in dem souveräne und neoliberale Techniken logisch verknüpft sind und einander bedingen. Eine Fallstudie, die in einer der in mehreren Bundesländern speziell zur Rückkehrförerung gegründeten Institution durchgeführt wurde, untersucht schliesslich Regie-rungstechniken im Feld „Rückkehr“ auf institutioneller Ebene, und gibt einen Einblick in Subjektivierungen und Konzeptualiserungen der Arbeit und Zielsetzungen dieser Institution durch ihren Direktor. Auch hier, in einer Einrichtung, in der verschiedene (souveräne udnd liberale) Techniken der Rückkehrförderung zusam-menspielen, dominieren neoliberale Rationalisierungen der irregulären Migrant_innen und der angewandten Massnahmen.
    Abstract: Starting from Michel Foucault’s theory of governmentality, this thesis analyses practices of “fostering return of irregular migrants” in Germany as a neoliberal technique of governing global “flows of migration”. “Gov-ernment” is understood through Foucault as the “conduct of conduct”, and thus comprises far more than merely state institutions. The thesis traces a genealogy of fostering return in different forms in Germany, showing that current forms increasingly target irregular migrants. This genealogy is then set in relation to changing rationalizations of migration and world space. I conclude that exercising influence on migrants subjectivized as irregular becomes relevant within a neoliberal rationality of government, because they en-danger the free flow of “regular” migrants. A regulated, free flow of regular migrants in turn is important in a world conceptualized as a global space, because it represents a necessary global market of human capital. Furthermore, current programs of fostering “voluntary return” can be interpreted as neoliberal techniques of government, which are spreading into the discursive field of migration. This does not, however, mean that sovereign techniques such as deportation are being replaced. Rather, a discursive field of “governing return” is opened up, in which neoliberal and sovereign techniques are logically connected and depend on each oth-er. A case study, realized in one of the institutions founded specifically in order to foster return in different federal states in Germany, finally investigates upon government techniques in the field of “return” on an in-stitutional level, and offers insights into the subjectivization and conceptualizationsof the institution’s aims and work practices by its director. I find that within the institution, which is active at the intersection of dif-ferent (neoliberal and sovereign) techniques of fostering return, neoliberal rationalizations of the irregular migrants and the applied measures dominate as well.

    Abstract: Das Phänomen der Armut zählt zu den größten Problemen der Großstädte. Die im Fokus dieser Arbeit stehende Armut in zwei Städten kann nur mit einer breiteren Betrachtung der sozialen Ungleichheit, zunehmender Arbeitslosigkeit, der Verschlechterung von Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen, der Einkommensdisparitäten etc. verstanden werden. Diese Merkmale sind in zunehmendem Maße in Städten der Industrieländer wie Berlin zu spüren. Die wachsende Ausbreitung von Armut in den industrialisierten Gesellschaften sowie in den sogenannten Schwellenländern führte zu einer breiteren Diskussion über das Armutsphänomen auf internationaler Ebene. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Phänomen der Armut in zwei Großstädten untersucht. Mexiko-Stadt und Berlin sind zwei unterschiedliche Städte mit ähnlichen sozialen Problemen. Mexiko-Stadt ist die ,typische’ Stadt in einem Schwellenland, die sich von Städten der Industrieländer durch den Grad der sozialen Ungleichheit, die ausgeprägte Kluft zwischen arm und reich sowohl strukturell als auch funktionell deutlich unterscheidet. Berlin andererseits nähert sich nach der Wiedervereinigung den Problemen anderer großen Metropolen an. In den letzten Jahren traten folgende Phänomene auf: das Entstehen neuer Formen der Armut, eine wachsende Zahl von Sozialhilfeempfängern, eine zunehmende Migrationsbevölkerung ohne wirtschaftliche Perspektiven u.a. Die Studie fasst Untersuchungsergebnisse und Berichte über Armut in Mexiko-Stadt und Berlin zusammen. Es handelt sich nicht um die Erhebung neuer empirischer Daten, sondern um die Selektion, Darstellung und Analyse verschiedener Studien zu Armut in beiden Städten. Die Analyse widmet sich der Armut unter dem Gesichtspunkt gemeinsamer Aspekte, verschiedener Charakteristiken und der jeweiligen Entwicklungstrends in den zwei untersuchten Städten.
    Abstract: The phenomenon of poverty is one of the most serious problems of big cities. The focus of this doctoral thesis is an examination of poverty in two major cities, which must be understood on a broader basis while considering social inequality, rising unemployment, deterioration of working and living conditions, income disparities, etc. These increasing characteristics are notable in cities of developed countries such as Berlin. The growing spread of poverty in industrialized societies and in emerging countries has led to a broader discussion about the phenomenon of poverty at the international level. This doctoral thesis analyzes the phenomenon of poverty in two major cities. Mexico City and Berlin are two different cities with similar social problems. Mexico City is a ,typicalʼ city in a emerging country, which is structurally as well as functionally different from cities of developed countries by the degree of social inequality and the pronounced gap between rich and poor. On the other hand, after its reunification Berlin faces problems of other large cities. In recent years the following phenomena have occurred: the emergence of new forms of poverty, a growing number of welfare recipients, an increasing migrant population without economic prospects etc. This study summarizes investigative findings and reports on poverty in Mexico City and Berlin together. The goal is not to collect new empirical data, but rather to emphasize the selection, presentation and analysis of various studies on poverty in both cities. The analysis focuses on poverty from the standpoint of common aspects, differing characteristics and the respective development trends in the two researched cities.

    Abstract: Die Möglichkeit von Online-Appellen zur Wählermobilisierung hat im Verlauf der letzten 10 Jahre exponentielle Nutzung erfahren. Alle großen Wahlkampagnen auf lokaler, nationaler und europäischer Ebene wurden sowohl offline als auch online betrieben. Trotz dessen, fangen Wissenschaftler gerade erst an zu verstehen ob und in welchem Ausmaß Online-Appelle tatsächlich ihre intendierte Wirkung erbringen. Diese Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkung von Online-Apellen auf die Wahlbeteiligung auf der Basis von Wahlinformationen der Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament 2009 aus 15 EU-Ländern. Eine Innovation ist dabei die Möglichkeit zur Kontrolle von Offline-Mobilisierungsappellen, die die Wähler während der Kampagne erhalten haben. Anhand der Verwendung eines “Kausalitätstrichters” und einer Reihe von Strukturgleichungsmodellen kann aufgezeigt werden, dass Online-Appelle, wenn überhaupt, einen sehr begrenzten Effekt (auf die Wahlbeteiligung) haben. Unter Berücksichtigung der Politikinteressen der Befragten, sowie der Anzahl ihrer individuellen Kontaktierungen durch Parteimitglieder über Telefon, Mail, oder auch an der Türschwelle, kann kaum ein zusätzlicher Effekt von Online-Appellen festgestellt werden. Dies unterstreicht die Bedeutung der Kommunikationsform wie auch die Nutzung von Online-Nachrichten in Kampagnen, nämlich hauptsächlich zur Kontakthaltung mit dem jeweiligen eigenen Kern an Unterstützern. Die Analyse schließt mit der Herausstellung des Bedarfs weiterer Untersuchungen zu dem Thema, besonders im Zuge einer zunehmenden Weiterentwicklung von Möglichkeiten der Online-Kontaktierung. Zudem wird festgehalten, dass für den Wahlzyklus 2009 traditionelle Mobilisierungsmethoden effektiver waren als die Methode der Online-Mobilisierung.
    Abstract: The use of online mobilization appeals has grown exponentially in the past decade, with all major campaigns at the local, national and European levels being fought both online and offline. For all their use, scholars are just in the incipient phases of truly understanding whether and to what extent these appeals have their intended effect. This analysis puts to the test the ability of online campaign appeals to increase a voter’s involvement in the election, by relying on information collected during the 2009 European Parliament elections in 15 EU countries. The novel aspect of the study represents the ability to control for offline mobilization attempts which voters might have received during the campaign. By making use of a “funnel of causality” design, and a series of structural equation models, the results presented here suggest that online mobilization messages have a very limited, if any, effect. When taking into account a respondent’s interest in politics, as well as the extent to which they have been personally contacted by a party worker through the phone, mail, or even at the doorstep, there is little added effect which online messages bring. This highlights both a characteristic of the medium of communication, as well as the use of online messages by the campaigns: primarily to maintain contact with their core supporters. The analysis concludes by pointing toward the need for further investigations, needed as online messages become more sophisticated, and by noting that for the 2009 election cycle traditional channels of mobilization proved more effective than online ones.

    Abstract: Die (vergleichende) Wohlfahrtsstaatforschung neigt zum Gebrauch absoluter Kategorien wie „Staat“, „Markt“, „Klasse“ oder „Soziale Gerechtigkeit“, um die Entstehung und Entwicklung von Wohlfahrtsstaaten zu erklären, zu messen oder zu kategorisieren. Insbesondere auf der Grundlage der Arbeiten Michel Foucault‘s zum Thema Gouvernementalität versucht diese Masterarbeitarbeit, alternative Perspektiven auf die Trans-formation von Wohlfahrtsstaaten zu bieten und die Entwicklungen in ihrer historischen Gebundenheit und der Komplexität der sich in ihnen widerspiegelnden sozialen Beziehungen zu verstehen. Dafür werden Episoden türkischer Gesundheitspolitik seit dem späten Osmanischen Reich interpretiert. Die Kernthemen sind die sich ändernde politischen Vorstellungen von Gesundheit einerseits und andererseits Techniken und Strategien, die politische Akteure anwenden, um das Politikfeld Gesundheit zu strukturieren und das Verhalten relevan-ter Akteure zu steuern. Die Arbeit greift insbesondere auf Primärquellen, wie offizielle Regierungspapiere, Reden, oder Leitfadeninterviews mit Experten zurück. Die Analyse zeichnet den politischen Diskurs über Ge-sundheit(spolitik) nach, der von „Barmherzigkeit und Gnade“ über die „Sicherung der Stärke der Nation“ bis hin zu der Idee eines „Rechtes auf Gesundheit“ reicht, welche seit den 1980er Jahren durch neoliberales Vo-kabular wie „(minimaler) Universalismus“, „Eigenverantwortung“ oder „Effizienz und Wettbewerb“ ergänzt wird. Derweil blieben trotz der Entstehung und Ausdehnung des Politikfeldes mit zugeordnetem bürokrati-schen Apparat, viele Programme und Projekte aufgrund der gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Struktur sowie fortlaufender Konflikte zwischen unterschiedlichen Regierungsmentalitäten inkonsistent und unvollen-det. Erst mit dem sogenannten Health Transformation Program, das seit 2003 unter der Partei für Gerechtig-keit und Fortschritt (AKP) implementiert wird, scheint ein Gesundheitssystem entstanden zu sein, welches sich durchgängig auf eine neoliberale Regierungslogik bezieht und die formalen Prinzipien einer Marktwirt-schaft als Regierungsprinzip auf die Erstellung von Programmen, Projekten und Regulierungen im Gesund-heitssektor projeziert.
    Abstract: Scholars of the welfare state tend to use absolute categories such as “class”, “state”, “market” or “social jus-tice” to measure, classify and compare welfare states. Drawing predominantly on Michel Foucault’s lectures on governmentality, this master’s thesis attempts to offer alternative perspectives on the transformation of welfare states by analyzing developments in the Turkish health system in consideration of their historicity and of the complexity of social relations reflected in them. Interpreting different historical episodes of Turk-ish health policies since the late Ottoman Empire, special attention is paid not only to changing political con-ceptions of health, but also to the techniques and strategies that governments have relied on to influence the conduct of providers and receivers of health services. The study draws predominantly on primary sources such as official government papers, speeches and expert interviews. Dominant political discourses on health have reached from “charity and favor” under the Sultans over “securing the strength of the nation” in the early Republic to the idea of everybody’s “right to health”, that is eventually mixed and complemented with neoliberal vocabulary such as “(minimal) universalism”, “individual responsibility”, or “efficiency and compe-tition”. In spite of the emergence of healthcare as a policy area being attached to an expanding bureaucratic apparatus, most programs and projects have remained inconsistent and fragmentary due to the composition of Turkish society and economy and the persistent struggles between different forms of governments. The findings suggest that only with the so-called Health Transformation Program (HTP) that is implemented since 2003 under the government of the Justice and Development Party (JDP), a health system has emerged that is consistently based on a distinguished mode of government. Neoliberalism, understood as the attempt to take the formal principles of a market economy and projecting them onto a general art of government, con-stitutes the underlying tenet of the HTP’s wide net of programs, projects and regulations by which the gov-ernment attempts to create, rather actively but from a distance, a health system in which all players act ra-tional, economically and self-responsible.

    Abstract: This paper presents the application of a methodological approach originally developed for urban planning to urban anthropology. This research approach focuses on different materialities in order to analyze functional zones, special areas and several categories of markers of up- and downgrading processes within a city. This focus on materialities and their integration patterns into urban space enables to make systematic comparisons between different areas within a city as well as between different cities. Using examples of transects carried out in two Southern Caucasian capitals – Baku (Azerbaijan) and Tbilisi (Georgia) – different ways of implementing a transect, collecting and recording the data are discussed.

    Abstract: Samucha lives in the mountains of Tusheti, a tiny region in Georgia on the border with Chechnya. Proud and brave, Samucha looks like an American cowboy. He's a fabulous horse rider, a shepherd, a musician, singer, and storyteller. This year, like every springtime, Samucha migrates with his flock of 2,000 sheep to reach the high plains of the Caucasus, located at an altitude of 4000 meters. But he feels tired and old. After this season, it will finally be time for him to retire. He will spend the summer on the plateau accompanied by his two sons, David and Kwiria, to whom he will hand over his herd. Their time has come to be true Caucasian shepherds like their father and he hopes they will be worthy enough to perpetuate the traditions of their ancestors.

    Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore how classic upstream-downstream conflicts of water resources management can be interpreted more broadly in terms of spatial misfits and disparities between the river basin, territorial jurisdictions, degrees of political influence and socio-economic conditions. It applies the analytical concept of spatial fit in order to explore issues of governance in managing water in the Dongjiang River basin, selected by virtue of the huge political and economic asymmetries existing between the upstream Jiangxi Province and the downstream Pearl River delta region. Using the concept of spatial fit, the paper explores the complex environmental, socio-economic and political geographies which frame the interdependencies of water use and management within the river basin. It analyses attempts by stakeholders at different levels and locations in the basin to advance their own water-related interests and the initiatives some are developing to share benefits and costs more equitably across the basin.

    Abstract: This paper uses an empirical analysis of a water conflict in the German state of Brandenburg to explore diverse constructions of vulnerability to water scarcity by local stakeholders. It demonstrates how, in the absence of effective formal institutions, these constructions are getting translated into conflictual resilience strategies practiced by these stakeholders, creating situations in which “your resilience is my vulnerability”. The novel contribution of the paper to resilience research is threefold. Firstly, it illustrates how the vulnerability and resilience of a socio-ecological system—such as small catchment—are socially constructed; that is, how they are not given but rather the product of stakeholders’ perceptions of threats and suitable responses to them. Secondly, the paper emphasizes the role of institutions—both formal and informal—in framing these vulnerability constructions and resilience strategies. Particular attention is paid to the importance of informal ‘rules in use’ emerging in the wake of (formal) ‘institutional voids’ and how they work against collective solutions. Thirdly, by choosing a small-scale, commonplace dispute to study vulnerability and resilience, the paper seeks to redress the imbalance of resilience research (and policy) on dramatic disaster events by revealing the relevance of everyday vulnerabilities, which may be less eye-catching but are far more widespread.

    Abstract: This editorial sets the scene for the special feature by explaining the importance of geography to the commons and its governance, critically appraising the existing literature on this theme, highlighting important contributions from recent research and mapping out a future research agenda. It begins by reflecting on how little explicit attention has been paid to date to the spatial dimensions of the commons. The author critiques on the one hand the literature on the commons for conceiving of spatiality primarily as the local, physical context of commons use and regulation but also, on the other hand, the spatial science literature for generally neglecting the commons, both conceptually and empirically. The paper then pinpoints important exceptions in the fields of human geography and planning studies, assessing how these works contribute to a more thorough and robust understanding of the relationship between spatiality, the commons and their governance. The analysis of these select works making explicit reference to the commons is complemented with a reflection on how broader debates in the spatial sciences can enrich spatial research on the commons. The final section turns to the papers of the special feature, summarizing each of the papers in order and indicating how they each contribute to the themes developed in the editorial.

    Abstract: This paper applies the concept of a term structure to agricultural land rental prices. Based on theoretical considerations, we develop a hedonic pricing model that allows for different shapes of the term structure curve while controlling for other price-relevant characteristics. We apply this model to land lease contracts in Saxony-Anhalt concluded between 2002 and 2010. We find an upward-sloping term structure at the beginning, that is, market participants expected increasing rental prices. For the subsequent years, however, we detect a singlehumped term structure. Hence, market participants revised their expectations and assumed a decline of land rental prices in the long-term.

    Keywords: River basin management ; Water Framework Directive ; politics of scale ; Sozialwissenschaften
    Abstract: Scholars of environmental governance are increasingly intrigued by issues of scale. Efforts to institutionalise river basin management represent a pertinent exemplar, as they aspire to strengthen hydrological vis-à-vis political-administrative scales of governance. The EU Wa-ter Framework Directive (WFD) is one of the most ambitious policy initiatives worldwide to reconfigure water management planning around the hydrological scale of river basins. Whilst it is widely assumed that the WFD is rescaling water governance in Europe, few em-pirical studies have been conducted to ascertain how far this is the case, what scalar strate-gies and practices are emerging and to what effect. The paper addresses these open issues with a study analysing the multi-scalar actions of water authorities, water management or-ganisations, local authorities and interest groups involved in implementing the WFD. It in-vestigates how stakeholders are acting scalar from the local to the European scale and back to further their interests in the course of WFD implementation, focussing on the Wupper sub-basin in Germany. Drawing for conceptual insight on the human geography debate on the politics of scale and processes of rescaling, we demonstrate how all relevant stakeholders are increasingly working across scales to advance their interests but in very different ways, with different degrees of deliberation and to different effect. A typology of multi-scalar action is developed to interpret this diversity. The paper draws conclusions on how multi-scalar action is altering not only power relations between the actors but also the scalar configurations themselves.

    Keywords: Local energy transitions ; Berlin-Brandenburg ; Ownership ; Commons ; Sozialwissenschaften
    Abstract: As one of the most ambitious national energy transition initiatives worldwide, the German Energiewende is attracting a huge amount of attention globally in both policy and research circles. The paper explores the implementation of Germany’s energy transition through the lens of organization and ownership in urban and regional contexts. Following a summary of the principal institutional challenges of the Energiewende at local and regional levels the paper develops a novel way of conceptualizing the institutional to urban and regional energy transitions in terms of agency and power, ideas and discourse, and commons and ownership. This analytical heuristic is applied to a two-tier empirical study of the Berlin-Brandenburg region. The first tier involves a survey of the organizational landscape of energy infrastructures and services in cities, towns and villages in Brandenburg. The second tier comprises a case study of current, competing initiatives for (re-)gaining ownership of the power grid and utility in Berlin. The paper draws conclusions on the diverse and dynamic organizational responses to the Energiewende at the local level, what these tell us about urban and regional energy governance and how they are inspired by – or in opposition to – new forms of collective ownership resonant of recent debates on reclaiming the commons. It concludes with observations on how relational approaches to institutional research and the notion of the commons can guide and inspire future research on socio-technical transitions in general, and urban energy transitions in particular.

We then follow the story of the Prophet Mohammed in Mecca and the spread of the empire through the Middle East and North Africa. This episode balances the usual images of fanatical jihadis, to reveal the surprisingly peaceful and tolerant process by which the Islamic empire spread. We travel from Mecca to Damascus, Jerusalem to Cairo, Fez to Cordoba.

    Abstract: They were known in history as brutal savages, fearless slave raiders and above all - pirates. Hailing from the Sulu Sea region in the Southern regions of the Philippines, the Ilanun, Balangingi Samal & Taosug tribes raided and plundered settlements in the Philippines, Borneo, Java, the Straits of Malacca and all over South East Asia in the search for human cargo to feed the growing demands of the slave trade in the 16th to 19th century. They wielded deadly weapons, were well organized and built formidable fast warships that ran circles around the bigger and heavier Western ships. These men, either sanctioned by their respective Sultanates or their own tribal leaders, defied colonial occupation and rule, instigating a wave of terror throughout the archipelago for more than 300 years. But there is evidence that they were not merely the savages they were made out to be. Some historians have argued that these were indigenous people merely defending their way of life from the conquering colonial forces. Others have said that we need to put this violence and slave raids into the proper perspective. This is a story of men who clung fiercely to their faith, eluding a technologically superior foe. It is also a story of how these men who lived by the sword, eventually died by it. So were they pirates and barbarians? Or warriors and freedom fighters? Discover the truth behind the Raiders of the Sulu Sea, and judge for yourself.

    Abstract: It is autumn in southern Tibet and everyone is pulling together to get in the harvest. Like all farmers, Dundan is worried most about hailstones flattening his crops. In the past his brother Tseden, the local shaman, protected the fields with his spells. Now the local government has installed guns to disperse the clouds and this has put Tseden out of a job.In the nearby town of Gyantse, Rincheu, a local builder, struggles to find enough workers during the harvest to complete his all important first government commission.In the monastery, the monks recover from a hectic visit by the highest ranking Buddhist Lama in Tibet. After a riotous time celebrating the success of the event, they go home to help with the harvest.Tseden is also helping a local family to arrange their daughter's wedding. Despite months of preparation, nobody actually gets around to telling the bride she is going to be wed - nor does anybody mention that she is expected to marry her husband's brother as well.

    Abstract: In this episode we reveal how a golden age of invention and scholarship thrived in the Islamic World at a time when Europe lingered in the dark age. We see how Muslim scholars brought together for the first time the ideas of the Greeks and Romans with Persian and Indian mathematics and astronomy, and developed them into the beginnings of modern Science. We reveal the first contacts by which European scholars discovered this treasury of knowledge and how it was developed by generations of Arab-admirers (including Galileo & Copernicus) into modern science. This episode focuses on the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, the great university mosques of Cairo and uncovers ancient documents translated in Baghdad by Islamic scholars, now in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

    Abstract: This documentary will take us to one of the most hostile habitats of the planet: the grand Sahara desert. The Tuaregs are also known as the 'Blue Men' due to the colour adopted by their skin, soaked by the indigo used to dye their veils. They have always been feudal lords who dominated this immense territory. They assaulted caravans and controlled the routes. Travelers always feared them for their fierceness and ferocity. They are untamed people, impossible to subjugate. Their strict rules, where honour and hospitality are among the main ones, determine the life of their different tribes. We will travel next to the Madugu, who lead their salt caravans through the Tenere, a desert within a desert, also known as the 'Anvil of the Sun'. We will know their customs, their beliefs and their way of life and we will discovery the challenges they face today to continue living as they have always done: with no borders or governments.

    Abstract: All around the world, mankind perpetuates traditions, passing down skills and a way of life to future generations. Whether this involves rituals or mastery of techniques, handing down customs is a way of reinforcing the identity and singularity of a group of individuals in keeping with their lifestyle and their environment. Through the discovery of some exceptional locations, Alexandre Mostras leads us on an encounter with the last guardians of a unique heritage. In a first-person travelogue, he recounts the simple tale of a community and the importance of inter-generational transmission that plays a direct role in the survival of its culture. A photographer by training, the director captures the stunning beauty of the landscapes and offers us an almost dreamlike journey, in which he artfully illustrates the great fragility of our cultural heritage.

    Abstract: In Deutschland hat ein kleiner Anteil der deutschtürkischen UnternehmerInnen in letzter Zeit vielerlei wirtschaftliche Kontakte zu verschiedenen Ländern hergestellt und weltweit transnationale Firmen gegründet. Die vorliegende qualitative Studie zeigt, dass es nicht im Wesentlichen ethnische Netzwerke waren, auf die sie dabei gebaut haben, sondern dass sie aufgrund ihrer eigenen Voraussetzungen (hoher Bildungsstand, Fachwissen, Erfahrung, Unternehmergeist) in der Lage sind, die Möglichkeiten zu nutzen, die sich aus dem globalen Wandel ergeben. Im Gegensatz zu transnationalen Aktivitäten, die frühere Studien für die Amerikas dokumentieren, sind deutschtürkische transnationale UnternehmerInnen vielseitiger und globaler. Zum einen handeln Sie mit Textilien, Elektronik, Technologie, Unterhaltung, Tourismus und Lebensmitteln. Zum anderen unterhalten sie Geschäftsbeziehungen zu KundInnen aus der ganzen Welt, aus Asien, Afrika, Europa, Australien und den Amerikas. Grundsätzlich kann man sagen, dass deutschtürkische transnationale UntermehmerInnen vielseitige Verbindungen in den verschiedensten Länder der Welt pflegen und dass ihr unternehmerischer Erfolg nicht maßgeblich von Verbindungen zur Türkei abhängt.
    Abstract: In Germany, a minority of Turkish immigrant entrepreneurs recently have developed multiple economic linkages with different countries, and set up transnational firms across the globe. This qualitative research finds that they have not relied heavily on the ethnic networks but draw on sufficient human capital to exploit resources and opportunities arising from the globalising changes. Compared to the transnational activities in previous studies conducted in the Americas, the Turkish transnational entrepreneurs are more diverse and global. First, their ventures include textiles, electronics, technology, entertainment, tourism and food production. Second, their clientele is worldwide covering Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia and the Americas. In essence, the Turkish transnational entrepreneurs have developed multiple ties that span different countries all over the world, and their economic success is not largely dependent on ties with their home country.

    Abstract: All around the world, mankind perpetuates traditions, passing down skills and a way of life to future generations. Whether this involves rituals or mastery of techniques, handing down customs is a way of reinforcing the identity and singularity of a group of individuals in keeping with their lifestyle and their environment. Through the discovery of some exceptional locations, Alexandre Mostras leads us on an encounter with the last guardians of a unique heritage. In a first-person travelogue, he recounts the simple tale of a community and the importance of inter-generational transmission that plays a direct role in the survival of its culture. A photographer by training, the director captures the stunning beauty of the landscapes and offers us an almost dreamlike journey, in which he artfully illustrates the great fragility of our cultural heritage.

    Abstract: This episode follows the birth of civilization in Anatolia and the Middle East. We go back to the very beginnings, when hunter-gatherers pause in Gobekli Tepe and start to build the world's first structures around 12,000 years ago. We follow the first stages of civilization: the rise of agriculture, governance and writing in Mesopotamia. We visit ancient Babylon (Iraq) and Mari (Syria) to explore the world's earliest cities. The latter part of the episode explores Alexander's arrival in Troy and his conquest of the Persian Empire - a journey that made him realise what he owed to the East. In Miletus remarkable new finds show that the Greek god Aphrodite began as the eastern god Ishtar.

    Abstract: This spectacular episode explores the extraordinary powers and civilizations that have emerged from central Asia. First the Seljuk Turks took on the Byzantines, pushing their way into Anatolia. In a cave in Cappadocia we discover a long lost painting that reveals how the two cultures co-existed. We follow the Mongol invasions - in Bukhara we explore its destruction and in Esfahan, Iran we see how the Mongols eventually converted to Islam and began to settle. Then in Uzbekistan again the episode traces the rise of Timur and explores the glories of Samarkand. Finally we follow the successors of Timur as they spread south into India, creating the wonders of the Mughal Empire.

    Abstract: In the red desert of Southern Algeria, the younger generations are taught to carry on the millennium-old tradition of the foggaras, used to capture the desert water to irrigate an entire oasis and its palm groves. The foggara is considered the backbone of Saharan agriculture, and in particular oasis agriculture. However, the development of that agriculture is threatened by the arrival of modern irrigation systems that consume high levels of energy and are not protective of the environment.

    Abstract: In 2010 Afghan musicologist Dr. Ahmad Sarmast opened the Afghanistan National Institute of Music (ANIM), a coeducational vocational music school in Kabul that teaches Afghan, Indian and Western music. In 2011 the Society for Education, Music and Music Education (SEMPRE), an organisation that was offering financial support for ANIM staff development, sent ethnomusicologist and film-maker John Baily to visit the school. Made in the observational cinema style, the film provides a lyrical portrayal of the school's activities, with an emphasis on the teaching, rehearsal and performance of the music, building up to a performance of Ravel's Bolero for the visiting Swedish Ambassador.The film projects a very positive image of young people in Afghanistan today, challenging the usual negative stereotypes favoured by Western media.

    Abstract: In the depths of the Cambodian forest lies the ruin of Angkor. It was once the center of a powerful civilization from the 9th to the 14th century. This is the story of the rehabilitation of this archaeological treasure, throughout the chaotic modern history of Cambodia. It all started in the 19th century when Cambodia became a French protectorate. Ever since, numerous French archaeologists have devoted their lives to the reconstruction of Angkor, while trying to unveil the secrets of the Khmer culture. This scientific work of passion was accomplished against a backdrop of turmoil and war the Cambodian people had to face.

    Abstract: My contribution studies in-depth how Polish entrepreneurs in Munich, Germany, make use of their economic, social, and cultural capital acquired in Poland and in Germany to position themselves transnationally. I study these migrants’ life courses and draw attention to cross-border intersections between their cultural, social, and economic capital with roots in different places. I also throw light on the subjective evaluation of economic capital of migrants in a transnational frame. I discern three types of transnational social positioning of the migrants (single space, bi-local and overlapping), which suggest a new reading of Bourdieu’s work that is better adapted to the theoretical challenges faced by researchers who study people in transnational spaces.
