    Abstract: This publication presents contributions by international experts on various aspects of West African migration. It provides a contrasting perspective to current debates which essentially focus on security issues. This rather non-institutional approach promotes a constant dialogue based on analyses of the actual situation: the authors encourage "win-win" mobility for all parties involved (Europe, North Africa and West Africa), whether it be a host, transit or departure country.

    Abstract: Creativity has become part of the language of regeneration experts, urban planners and government policy makers attempting to revive the economic and cultural life of cities in the 21st century. Concepts such as the creative class, the creative industries and bohemian cultural clusters have come to dominate thinking about how creativity can contribute to urban renewal. Spaces of Vernacular Creativity offers a critical perspective on the instrumental use of arts and creative practices for the purposes of urban regeneration or civic boosterism. Several important contributions are brought into one volume to examine the geography of locally embedded forms of arts and creative practice. There has been an explosion of interest in both academic and policy circles in the notion of creativity, and its role in economic development and urban regeneration. This book argues for a rethinking of what constitutes creativity, foregrounding non-economic values and practices, and the often marginal and everyday spaces in which creativity takes shape. Drawing on a range of geographic contexts including the U.S., Europe, Canada and Australia, the book explores a diverse array of creative practices ranging from art, music, and design to community gardening and anticapitalist resistance. The book examines working class, ethnic and non-elite forms of creativity, and a variety of creative spaces, including rural areas, suburbs and abandoned areas of the city. The authors argue for a broader and more inclusive conception of what constitutes creative practice, advocating for an approach that foregrounds economies of generosity, conviviality and activism. The book also explores the complexities and nuances that connect the local and the global and finally, the book provides a space for valuing alternative, marginal and displaced knowledges. Spaces of Vernacular Creativity...
    Abstract: provides an important contribution to the debates on the creative class and on the role of value of creative knowledge and skills. The book aims to contribute to contemporary academic debates regarding the development of post-industrial economies and the cognitive cultural economy. It will appeal to a wide range of disciplines including, geography, applied art, planning, cultural studies, sociology and urban studies, plus specialised programmes on creativity and cultural industries at Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels.

    Abstract: This theoretically innovative anthology investigates the problematic linkages between conserving cultural heritage, maintaining cultural diversity, defining and establishing cultural citizenship, and enforcing human rights. It is the first publication to address the notions of cultural diversity, cultural heritage and human rights in one volume. Heritage provides the basis of humanity's rich cultural diversity. While there is a considerable literature dealing separately with cultural diversity, cultural heritage and human rights, this book is distinctive and has contemporary relevance in focusing on the intersection between the three concepts. Cultural Diversity, Heritage and Human Rights establishes a fresh approach that will interest students and practitioners alike and on which future work in the heritage field might proceed.

    Abstract: This report covers a broad range of SME taxation issues, including possible effects of taxation on the creation and growth of SMEs, and considerations arising from a relatively high compliance burden. Differing income tax and social security contribution burdens of unincorporated and incorporated SMEs are considered in detail, with analysis of average statutory tax rates carried out to investigate possible tax distortions to business creation and business structure decisions of a single worker/owner of an SME. Various arguments are presented for and against the targeting of tax incentives at SMEs. Country examples of SME tax incentives and compliance cost reduction measures are provided in the report.

    Abstract: Sind die unzähligen Sprüche und Schriftzüge auf Häuserwänden, Haltestellen, Parkbänken, etc. nur Zufallsprodukte und unsystematische Mitteilungen oder wohnt ihnen eine weiterreichende Bedeutung inne? Sind Graffiti leere Parolen und Sprüche oder ernstzunehmende Projektionen gesellschaftlicher Phänomene des urbanen Lebens?Der Sammelband stellt Graffiti als Sprache an den Wänden in das Zentrum einer interdisziplinären wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung. Die Beiträge fokussieren dabei nicht nur die konkrete Seite des Phänomens Graffiti, sondern entfalten einen theoretischen Rahmen zur weiterführenden Betrachtung. Grundannahme ist es dabei, dass Graffiti in ihrer Gesamtheit die sozialen und politischen Verhältnisse, Befindlichkeiten und Einstellungen in Abhängigkeit von Zeit und Ort ihrer Kreation widerspiegeln.

    Abstract: Vom 19. Jahrhundert als einer Mediengesellschaft zu sprechen, erscheint als ein Anachronismus. Der Begriff sucht den Bedeutungsgewinn und die Diversifizierung der Medien in der Gegenwart zu erfassen und damit nicht zuletzt heutige von früheren Gesellschaften abzugrenzen. Die Annahme, dass Medien in früheren Gesellschaften nicht ebenfalls eine zentrale und spezifische Rolle zukam, wäre jedoch irrig. So war das 19. Jahrhundert nicht nur vom Aufstieg einer Vielzahl einstmals neuer Medien geprägt, sondern auch dadurch, dass sich die Gesellschaft über öffentliche und mediale Kommunikation erst konstituierte und ausdifferenzierte. Der Band macht es sich zur Aufgabe, ineinander greifende zentrale mediale und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen für Deutschland und für Frankreich in einer übergreifenden wie vergleichenden Perspektive vorzustellen.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung "Innovationsverantwortung" bildet den dritten Band im Rahmen des Projekts "Innovation und Recht". Das Projekt zielt auf eine systematische, trans- und interdisziplinäre Untersuchung des bestehenden Rechts hinsichtlich seiner förderlichen oder hemmenden Einflüsse auf technologische Innovationsprozesse und soll Ansatzpunkte für seine Weiterentwicklung aufzeigen. Der Begriff der Innovationsverantwortung bezieht sich auf Vorkehrungen zur Sicherung der Gemeinwohlverträglichkeit von Innovationen und ist damit Chiffre für eine normative Orientierungen und Vorgaben sichernde Begleitung von Innovationsprozessen. Einleitend werden die Aufgaben und Kapazitäten des Rechts zur Sicherung von Rechtsgütern und rechtlich geschützten oder nur gesellschaftlich anerkannten Interessen bei der Entwicklung von Innovationen ausgelotet. Aus soziologischer und ökonomischer Perspektive werden ferner die übergreifenden Bezugspunkte von Vorsorge und Folgenabschätzung innovationsbezogen konkretisiert. Anschließend werden Referenzgebiete von der Nanotechnologie über Neuroimplantate und grüne Gentechnik bis zum Chemikalienrecht (REACh) und dem Elektrogesetz auf die Verankerung und jeweilige Ausgestaltung einer Innovationsverantwortung hin untersucht. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden dann querschnittsartig die zentralen Elemente der rechtlichen Umhegung von Innovationsprozessen analysiert: Verfahren, Risikokommunikation, Qualitätssicherung, haftungsrechtliche Verantwortungszuweisung und -verteilung, angemessener Instrumentenmix sowie eine dynamische Informationsordnung.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhalt: W.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Der Sachsenspiegel des Eike von Repgow gehört ohne Frage zu den bedeutendsten Rechtsdenkmälern des deutschen Mittelalters. Diese Bedeutung gewinnt das Werk nicht nur aus sich selbst heraus, sondern vor allem durch seine ganz ungewöhnlich weite, geradezu pan-europäische Verbreitung. Zahlreiche Rechtsbücher nahmen einzelne Rechtssätze bis hin zu umfangreichen Teilen des Spiegels in sich auf und sicherten so die Weiterverbreitung nicht nur weit über die Grenzen seines sächsischen Entstehungsraumes, sondern auch weit über das Mittelalter hinaus. Dieser ungewöhnlichen Karriere geht die vorliegende Arbeit nach. Dabei werden zum einen spätere Rechtsbücher auf den konkreten Umfang der sich in ihnen manifestierenden Sachsenspiegelrezeption befragt, zum anderen eine erste Geschichte des "Sachsenrechts" von der Entstehung eines seiner absoluten Fundamentaltexte im frühen 13. Jahrhundert bis hin in die Gegenwart rechtshistorischer Forschung vorgelegt.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhaltsübersicht: A. Einleitung - B.

    Abstract: Reisen zu indigenen Kulturen sind wegen deren angeblichen Verletzlichkeit verpönt. Diese Berechtigung dieser Ansicht wird am Beispiel von Tourismus zu Tuareg-Nomaden in der Region Agadez, Zentralsahara, überprüft. Dazu wurden die historischen, politischen, ökonomischen und kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen und Entwicklungsprozesse der Region sowie auch jene des Bergdorfes Timia in den Aïr-Bergen untersucht. Besonderes Augenmerk galt den Strukturen der regionalen Tourismusentwicklung, wozu regionale Agenturbetreiber, Sahara-Touristen sowie Angehörige der betroffenen Landbevölkerung interviewt wurden. Weiters wurden die Kataloge von europäischen Reiseveranstaltern analysiert. Schließlich wurde auch eine Trekking-Reise mittels teilnehmender Beobachtung evaluiert, wobei keine wesentlichen soziokulturellen und ökologischen Belastungen nachweisbar waren. Als Evaluationsmaßstab wurde das System einer kybernetischen Ethik entwickelt, die sich als personelle Ausprägung der "nachhaltigen Entwicklung" versteht. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt war die ideologiekritische Analyse des Tuareg-Mythos."Tuareg-Tourismus" wird überwiegend von urbanisierten Tuareg-Nomaden und einstigen Tuareg-Rebellen betrieben. Charakteristisch sind das weitgehend ungelenkte Tourismuswachstum, intensives Konkurrenzverhalten der Reiseveranstalter und geringe interkulturelle Qualifikation des Personals. Die Region leidet unter Arbeitslosigkeit und Dürren, weshalb die ökonomische Rolle des Tourismus signifikant ist. Jedoch trägt diese Einkommenschance auch zu inneren Konflikten bei. Insofern weist Tourismus sowohl stabilisierende als auch destabilisierende Tendenzen auf. Die Belastungen des gesamten Tourismusaufkommens, maximal 4.000 Personen pro Jahr, halten sich aufgrund des großen Reisegebiets in Grenzen. Die Befragung der Bewohner der Bergoase Timia ergab, dass Tourismus als willkommene...
    Abstract: Einkommensalternative sowie als Mittel zur Requirierung von Entwicklungsprojekten betrachtet wird. Dieser Sichtweise wurde abschließend vor dem Hinterrund der Transzendentalpragmatik und des Kulturalismus auf deren Legitimationskraft analysiert. Im Ergebnis konnte die spezifische Form des Tuareg-Tourismus als vertretbar nachgewiesen werden, weil in seiner gegenwärtigen Form die stabilisierenden Effekte dominieren. Die Kritik am Tuareg-Tourismus konnte insofern im Wesentlichen als Ausdruck exotisierender Projektionen entlarvt werden. InhaltsverzeichnisInhaltsübersichtTabellenverzeichnisAbkürzungsverzeichnisTeil A: Theoretische Grundlagen1 Einleitung2 Theoretische Grundlagen einer universellen Tourismusethik3 "Entwicklung": Ideologischer Wandel und Krise eines Entwicklungsbegriffs4 "Entwicklungshilfe" Tourismus?5 Wahrnehmung und Interaktion zwischen Reisenden und "Bereisten"Teil B Empirische Untersuchung des Tourismusmarktes Agadez6 Die Region Agadez7 Geschichte des Tourismus in Agadez8 Die Tourismuspotentiale von Agadez9 Struktur des Tourismus in Agadez10 Strukturelle Probleme der Tourismusentwicklung in Agadez11 Die Marke "Tuareg" - Mythos und Images12 Der Markt des Tuareg-Tourismus13 Das Reiseprodukt: Versuch der Evaluation einer Trekking-Reise ins Aïr14 Konflikte im Einzugsbereich des Tuareg-TourismusTeil C: Das Verhältnis der Kel Timia zum Tourismus15 Portrait der Kel Timia: Tradition und Wandel16 Die Kel Timia heute: Kernprobleme und Lösungsstrategien17 Tourismus bei den Kel Timia18 Die wirtschaftliche Rolle des Tourismus in Timia19 Werte, soziokultureller Wandel und die Rolle des Tourismus20 Potentielle Tourismusentwicklung: Vier Testprojekte21 Probleme durch Tourismus bei den TuaregTeil D Gesamtevaluation22 Die ethische Relevanz der Meinung der Kel Timia23 Gesamt-SchlussfolgerungenQuellenverzeichnisAnhang.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Virtuelle Umgebungen umfassen Güter, die Eigenschaften physischer Gegenstände simulieren. Diese Güter sind ihrem Code nach ausschließlich angelegt, in ihrer Inhaberschaft übertragbar und repräsentieren Informationen mit digitalem Funktionswert. Daraus resultiert ein Vermögenswert, der Fragen nach Begründung und Reichweite rechtlichen Schutzes des faktischen Inhabers aufwirft. Entgegen der Virtual Property Theory resultieren die Befugnisse gegenüber dem Betreiber dabei nur aus dem Zusammenspiel faktischer Einwirkungsmöglichkeiten mit der Gesamtheit der dem Verpflichtungsgeschäft immanenten schuldrechtlichen Ansprüche. Im Verhältnis zu Dritten verläuft die Rechtsschutzproblematik aufgrund der Client-Server-Architektur virtueller Umgebungen parallel zu der extern gespeicherter Datenbestände. Die Lösung liegt hier im Zusammenwirken der aktiven Schutzpflichten des Inhabers des Speichermediums mit den Grundsätzen der Drittschadensliquidation.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhaltsübersicht: Einleitung: 1: Grundgedanken - Gang der Untersuchung - 1.

    Abstract: How can we grasp the complex religious lives of individuals such as Peter, an ordained Protestant minister who has little attachment to any church but centers his highly committed religious practice on peace-and-justice activism? Or Hannah, a devout Jew whose rich spiritual life revolves around her women's spirituality group and the daily practice of meditative dance? Or Laura, who identifies as Catholic but rarely attends Mass, and engages daily in Buddhist-style meditation at her home altar arranged with symbols of Mexican American popular religion? Diverse religious practices such as these have long baffled scholars, whose research often starts with the assumption that individuals commit, or refuse to commit, to an entire institutionally framed package of beliefs and practices. Meredith McGuire points the way forward toward a new way of understanding religion. She argues that scholars must study religion not as it is defined by religious organizations, but as it is actually lived in people's everyday lives. Drawing on her own extensive fieldwork, as well as recent work by others, McGuire explores the many, seemingly mundane, ways that individuals practice their religions and develop their spiritual lives. By examining the many eclectic and creative practices -- of body, mind, emotion, and spirit -- that have been invisible to researchers, she offers a fuller and more nuanced understanding of contemporary religion.

    Abstract: Where does the nation-state end and globalization begin? In Territory, Authority, Rights, one of the world's leading authorities on globalization shows how the national state made today's global era possible. Saskia Sassen argues that even while globalization is best understood as "denationalization," it continues to be shaped, channeled, and enabled by institutions and networks originally developed with nations in mind, such as the rule of law and respect for private authority. This process of state making produced some of the capabilities enabling the global era. The difference is that these capabilities have become part of new organizing logics: actors other than nation-states deploy them for new purposes. Sassen builds her case by examining how three components of any society in any age--territory, authority, and rights--have changed in themselves and in their interrelationships across three major historical "assemblages": the medieval, the national, and the global. The book consists of three parts. The first, "Assembling the National," traces the emergence of territoriality in the Middle Ages and considers monarchical divinity as a precursor to sovereign secular authority. The second part, "Disassembling the National," analyzes economic, legal, technological, and political conditions and projects that are shaping new organizing logics. The third part, "Assemblages of a Global Digital Age," examines particular intersections of the new digital technologies with territory, authority, and rights. Sweeping in scope, rich in detail, and highly readable, Territory, Authority, Rights is a definitive new statement on globalization that will resonate throughout the social sciences.

    Abstract: Are postcolonies haunted more by criminal violence than other nation-states? The usual answer is yes. In Law and Disorder in the Postcolony, Jean and John Comaroff and a group of respected theorists show that the question is misplaced: that the predicament of postcolonies arises from their place in a world order dominated by new modes of governance, new sorts of empires, new species of wealth-an order that criminalizes poverty and race, entraps the "south" in relations of corruption, and displaces politics into the realms of the market, criminal economies, and the courts.  As these essays make plain, however, there is another side to postcoloniality: while postcolonies live in states of endemic disorder, many of them fetishize the law, its ways and itsmeans. How is the coincidence of disorder with a fixation on legalities to be explained? Law and Disorder in the Postcolony addresses this question, entering into critical dialogue with such theorists as Benjamin, Agamben, and Bayart. In the process, it also demonstrates how postcolonies have become crucial sites for the production of contemporary theory, not least because they are harbingers of a global future under construction.

    Split Decisions : How and Why to Take a Break from Feminism (2008)

    Abstract: Is it time to take a break from feminism? In this pathbreaking book, Janet Halley reassesses the place of feminism in the law and politics of sexuality. She argues that sexuality involves deeply contested and clashing realities and interests, and that feminism helps us understand only some of them. To see crucial dimensions of sexuality that feminism does not reveal--the interests of gays and lesbians to be sure, but also those of men, and of constituencies and values beyond the realm of sex and gender--we might need to take a break from feminism. Halley also invites feminism to abandon its uncritical relationship to its own power. Feminists are, in many areas of social and political life, partners in governance. To govern responsibly, even on behalf of women, Halley urges, feminists should try taking a break from their own presuppositions. Halley offers a genealogy of various feminisms and of gay, queer, and trans theories as they split from each other in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. All these incommensurate theories, she argues, enrich thinking on the left not despite their break from each other but because of it. She concludes by examining legal cases to show how taking a break from feminism can change your very perceptions of what's at stake in a decision and liberate you to decide it anew.

    Abstract: Governments intervene in the agricultural sector through policies that both support and shape agricultural production. This leads to two important outcomes. First, agriculture specific programmes intended to increase the welfare of farmers can become capitalised into asset values. Second, many policies, in particular regulatory ones, reduce asset mobility, resulting in reduced economic efficiency due a sub-optimal allocation of resources. This study focuses on the capitalisation of government support into land rents and prices. It assesses the consequences of inflated asset values, and suggests lessons for future policy making.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Das klassische Bild vom Staat als "Leistungsstaat", der im öffentlichen Interesse stehende Leistungen in Eigenerstellung erbringt, wird zunehmend abgelöst von der Idee des Gewährleistungsstaats, der zwar Gemeinwohlinteressen zu sichern, die hierfür notwendigen Leistungen aber nicht notwendig eigenhändig zu erbringen hat. Die Einbeziehung Privater in die Erfüllung öffentlicher Aufgaben erfolgt in vielfältiger Weise. Sie reicht von unterschiedlichen Formen der Partizipation über die Übertragung von substantiellen Beiträgen zur Aufgabenerfüllung im Rahmen von Kooperationsverhältnissen bis zur materiellen Privatisierung. Das koreanisch-deutsche Symposium zum Verwaltungsrechtsvergleich, dessen Vorträge in diesem Band dokumentiert werden, ermöglicht durch die Betrachtung spezifischer Referenzfelder eine vergleichende Gesamtschau des Stands der Forschung zur Einbeziehung Privater in die Erfüllung öffentlicher Aufgaben. Die Thematik der Aufgabenwahrnehmung im Gewährleistungsstaat wird in einer großen Bandbreite behandelt und unter verschiedenen Aspekten beleuchtet. Die vergleichende Analyse der Rechtslage in Deutschland und Korea bringt einen intensiven Erfahrungsaustausch in zentralen Gegenwarts- und Zukunftsfragen des Verhältnisses von Staat und Gesellschaft. Sie ermöglicht eine Verdichtung der Perspektive der Verwaltungsforschung unter Einbeziehung von Erkenntnissen und Anregungen aus einem anderen Rechtskreis.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhalt: J. H.

    Abstract: "A kaleidoscopic presentation of the riches of feminist geography, revealing at every turn the breadth of its theoretical perspectives, the variety of its objects of inquiry, and the reach of its methodologies. At once poetic, polemical and rigorous, the Companion to Feminist Geography cross-cuts contemporary feminist research at all scales with historiographies of feminist thought in the field. With chapters by a truly international group of authors, this anthology inscribes feminist geography at the heart of the discipline as it makes the vitality of geographic thought vivid not only for other fields but for a range of political movements as well." Cindi Katz, Graduate Centre, City University of New York "Though each of the essays can be read for its own distinctive contribution, the anthology as a whole is designed to provide a mosaic of feminist geography for both scholars and students." Reference and Research Book News, Vol 20/1, Feb 2005 "An extensive resource written by influential feminist thinkers and practitioners...All Blackwell Companions are relevant to academics, researchers and students in their disciplines and beyond, but this volume on feminist geography will have more general appeal" Reference Reviews.

    Abstract: Leading geographer Denis Cosgrove provides a series of personal reflections on the complex connections between seeing, imagining and representing the world geographically. In a series of eloquent essays he draws upon pictorial images - including maps, sketches, cartoons, paintings, and photographs - to explore and elaborate upon the many and varied ways in which the vast and varied earth, and at times the heavens beyond, have been both imagined and represented as a place of human habitation. The essays include reflections upon geographical discovery; urban cartography and utopian visions; ideas of landscape and the shaping of America; wilderness and masculinity; conceptions of the Pacific; and the imaginative grip of the Equator. Extensively illustrated, this engaging work reveals the richness of the geographical imagination as expressed over the past five centuries._x000D__x000D_'A richly evocative set of meditations on landscape and vision by a master craftsman. ... Across myriad times and spaces, he displays for us the kaleidoscope of meanings that we humans have attached to the terrestrial sphere.

    Abstract: In dieser Monographie wird, beginnend mit einem biographischen und zeitgeschichtlichen Grundriss, zum ersten Mal das umfangreiche strafrechtliche, rechtsphilosophische und philosophische Gesamtwerk Arthur Baumgartens dargestellt. Baumgarten war im Jahr seiner bei Franz v. Liszt verteidigten Dissertation (1909) nach Genf berufen worden und lehrte in Köln, Basel, Frankfurt/M. und Berlin. Von der dreiteiligen "Wissenschaft vom Recht" (1922) urteilte Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy im "Archiv des öffentlichen Rechts", hier sei die Jurisprudenz auf Philosophie gegründet, und die Lehre Baumgartens werde neben Stammler und Nelson die stärkste Wirkung aufs Rechtsdenken gewinnen. Mit seinen philosophischen Schriften wurde Baumgarten, beeinflusst von James und Dewey, in den zwanziger und dreißiger Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts ein Vordenker des sozialliberalen Pragmatismus in der deutschen Philosophie und nahm deren Hinwendung zur angloamerikanischen philosophischen Tradition um Jahrzehnte vorweg. 1933 erklärte er, unterm NS-Regime nicht Rechtwissenschaft lehren zu können, und ging von Frankfurt in die Schweizer Emigration. Die Erfahrung von Faschismus und Krieg führte ihn in der Mitte der vierziger Jahre zu sozialistischen Überzeugungen und Erwartungen und zur Marxschen sozialwissenschaftlichen Methode, so dass er, nach Frankfurt nicht zurückberufen, gleich anderen antifaschistischen Intellektuellen in die Ostzone und spätere DDR zog. Gerd Irrlitz behandelt die Hauptwerke und die marxistisch orientierten Texte Baumgartens - wie überhaupt die sozialliberale und die späte sozialistische Periode - nicht als Gegensätze, sondern als aufeinander bezogene und einander bedingende Konzepte, überzeugt, dass das Werk des Rechtsphilosophen unterm Erfordernis der Erneuerung des sozialen Liberalismus in der hochindustriellen Zivilisation neue Aktualität gewinnen...

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten hat die deutsche Asylrechtsprechung ein festes Gerüst asylrechtlicher Rechtsfiguren und Auslegungsgrundsätze geschaffen, dessen tragende Pfeiler auf einer in weiten Teilen völlig eigenständigen Interpretation maßgeblicher Vorschriften der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention beruhen. Der Prozess der Harmonisierung des Flüchtlingsrechts auf europäischer Ebene und vor allem die Richtlinie 2004/83/EG des Rates vom 29.04.2004 (Qualifikationsrichtlinie) als eines der zentralen Elemente dieser Asylrechtsharmonisierung verlangen der deutschen Asylrechtsprechung eine grundlegende Revision und Neuorientierung ab. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht die Autorin, selbst Richterin am Verwaltungsgericht, am Beispiel des Widerrufs von Flüchtlingsanerkennungen im Einzelnen der Frage der Völkerrechts- und Europarechtskonformität der deutschen Rechtsprechung nach. Annegret Titze legt dabei besonderes Gewicht auf die dogmatische Entfaltung der für alle Auslegungsfragen im materiellen Asylrecht nunmehr maßgeblichen methodischen Grundlagen, die bei der Auslegung von Völkervertragsrecht einerseits und der Auslegung von EG-Recht andererseits sowie bei der Verzahnung beider Rechtskreise im Bereich der Qualifikationsrichtlinie zu beachten sind. Sowohl die Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention als auch die Qualifikationsrichtlinie werden nach Auffassung der Autorin durch die gegenwärtige Rechtsprechung des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts interpretatorisch verfehlt.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhaltsübersicht: Einführung und Gang der Untersuchung - 1.

    Abstract: International anti-corruption treaties, including the UN Convention against Corruption, require member states to establish two types of anti-corruption institutions – one to prevent corruption and the other to combat corruption through law enforcement. The treaties also establish standards for such anti-corruption institutions – they should be independent, specialised and have sufficient resources to meet their challenging tasks. This book analyses the main functions of prevention and combating corruption and discusses practical ways to ensure the independence, specialisation and resources of anti-corruption bodies. The book further studies the different forms of specialisation which exist in different countries and describes 14 anti-corruption agencies from around the world, including preventive, law-enforcement and combined or multipurpose agencies. Analysis of key factors which can lead anti-corruption bodies to success or failure, together with a rich body of country specific information, practical facts and contact details will make this book a useful tool for those policy-makers who seek to strengthen anti-corruption institutions in their countries.

    Keywords: Flüchtling ; Menschenrecht ; Afrika
    Abstract: Of the over 33 million refugees and internally displaced people in the world today, a disproportionate percentage are found in Africa. Most have been driven from their homes by armed strife, displacing people into settings that fail to meet standards for even basic human dignity. Protection of the human rights of these people is highly uncertain and unpredictable. Many refugee service agencies agree advocacy on behalf of the displaced is a key aspect of their task. But those working in the field are so pressed by urgent crises that they can rarely analyze the requirements of advocacy systematically. Yet advocacy must go beyond international law to human rights as an ethical standard to prevent displaced people from falling through the cracks of our conflicted world.Refugee Rights: Ethics, Advocacy, and Africa draws upon David Hollenbach, SJ's work as founder and director of the Center for Human Rights and International Justice at Boston College to provide an analytical framework for vigorous advocacy on behalf of refugees and internally displaced people. Representing both religious and secular perspectives, the contributors are scholars, practitioners, and refugee advocatesùall of whom have spent time on the ground in Africa. The book begins with the poignant narrative of Abebe Feyissa, an Ethiopian refugee who has spent over fifteen years in a refugee camp from hell. Other chapters identify the social and political conditions integral to the plight of refugees and displaced persons. Topics discussed include the fundamental right to freedom of movement, gender roles and the rights of women, the effects of war, and the importance of reconstruction and reintegration following armed conflict. The book concludes with suggestions of how humanitarian groups and international organizations can help mitigate the problem of forced displacement and enforce...
    Abstract: the belief that all displaced people have the right to be treated as their human dignity demands. Refugee Rights offers an important analytical resource for advocates and students of human rights. It will be of particular value to practitioners working in the field.

    Abstract: Challenging many common perceptions, this is the first book fully dedicated to understanding a major new phenomenon-the large numbers of skilled urban workers who are now coming across the border from Mexico's cities. Based on a ten-year, on-the-ground study of one working-class neighborhood in Monterrey, Mexico's industrial powerhouse and third-largest city, Metropolitan Migrants explores the ways in which Mexico's economic restructuring and the industrial modernization of the past three decades have pushed a new flow of migrants toward cities such as Houston, Texas, the global capital of the oil industry. Weaving together rich details of everyday life with a lucid analysis of Mexico's political economy, Rubén Hernández-León deftly traces the effects of restructuring on the lives of the working class, from the national level to the kitchen table.

    Abstract: Ce rapport présente la première analyse internationale systématique des effets du changement climatique sur la fiabilité de l’enneigement dans les Alpes. Ces dernières années ont été parmi les plus chaudes des cinq siècles écoulés, et les projections des modèles climatiques annoncent des changements encore plus nets dans la région au cours des décennies à venir. Conjuguée au recul des glaciers et à la fonte du permafrost en altitude, la diminution de la quantité de neige, plus bas, aura un impact non négligeable sur les activités touristiques tributaires de la neige et sur la gestion des risques naturels. Au-delà des Alpes, les implications de cette évaluation peuvent être extrapolées à d’autres chaînes de montagnes susceptibles d’être confrontées à des problèmes climatiques et contextuels similaires, par exemple en Amérique du Nord, en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande.

    Abstract: Achieving sustainable development depends on good governance practices, particularly the effective implementation of national sustainable development strategies which integrate government decision-making in the economic, environmental and social spheres. This volume contains recommendations for the true “institutionalisation” of sustainable development. Institutionalisation will embed the concept in government operations for the long-term and will reduce the vulnerability of sustainable development aims to shorter-term political objectives.

    Abstract: Declining fish stocks and expanding fishing fleets have combined with growing competition from aquaculture to put increased pressure on the fishing sector to adjust the size and nature of its operations in many countries. In some fishing communities, almost sixty percent of jobs are linked to fishing and in many coastal areas there are few alternative employment opportunities for fishers. This conference proceedings analyses the social issues and policy challenges that arise from fisheries adjustment policies, and how OECD member countries are meeting those challenges.

    Abstract: This first book in the new OECD Insights Series examines the increasing economic and social importance of human capital - our education, skills, competencies, and knowledge. As economies in developed countries shift away from manufacturing, economic success for individuals and national economies is increasingly reliant on the quality of human capital. Raising human capital has emerged as a key policy priority, particularly for low-skilled individuals, who are at risk of being left even further behind. Policy in this area is focusing on early childhood development, improving quality and choice in schooling, creating excellence in tertiary education, and widening access to adult learning. Drawing on the research and analysis of the OECD, this dynamic new book uses straightforward language to explain how countries across the OECD area are responding to the challenge of raising their levels of human capital. This book includes Statlinks, URLs linking statistical tables and graphs in the text of the book to Excel spreadsheets showing the underlying data.

    Abstract: This edition of the Development Centre's annual report on policy coherence focuses on migration. The book examines the costs and benefits of migration for developing countries and how these flows can be better organised to yield greater benefits for all parties concerned -- migrant-sending countries, migrant-receiving countries, and the migrants themselves. It takes stock of what we know about the effects of migration on development, and distills from that knowledge a set of policy recommendations for sending and receiving countries alike. It draws on a large number of country and regional case studies co-ordinated by the OECD Development Centre to illustrate the mechanisms that link migration and development: labour-market effects, brain drain, remittances, diaspora networks and return migration.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Pascale Cancik untersucht die Offizialisierung und Professionalisierung von Verwaltungskommunikation im Preußen des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts. Zu dieser Zeit erreichte der aufklärerische Öffentlichkeitsdiskurs der 'Sattelzeit' verschiedene Bereiche von Gesellschaft und Recht (Parlamente, Gerichte, Presse). Die Verwaltung indessen, die damals ihre modern-bürokratische Form entwickelte, wird von der historischen Forschung kaum mit jenen liberalen Öffentlichkeitsforderungen in Verbindung gebracht. Ist das gegenwärtig wieder viel untersuchte Thema Verwaltung und Öffentlichkeit zu Recht kein Thema (rechts-)historischer Forschung? Die Autorin zeigt zunächst, dass es durchaus einen zeitgenössischen Publizitätsdiskurs gab, der sich gerade auch auf Verwaltung bezog. Aber kam dieser auch in der Praxis von Recht und Verwaltung an? Da Öffentlichkeiten sich in Kommunikationen manifestieren, werden zwei Felder von Verwaltungskommunikation genauer untersucht: die Publikation staatlichen Handelns durch die Verwaltung sowie die Entwicklung konkreter Verwaltungsverfahren, innerhalb derer die Verwaltung mit Bürgern kommuniziert. Im Zentrum stehen dabei jeweils die Rolle von Recht und Rechtspraxis. Es ergibt sich ein komplexes Bild von Motiven und Intensitäten der Einbeziehung oder gar Beteiligung von Bürgern. Bis heute genutzte Techniken, Medien und Verfahren wurden damals mit Hilfe von Recht konzipiert und eingeübt. Sie sind nicht, wie manchmal behauptet, ausschließlich mit Demokratie verbunden.

    Abstract: Honorable Mention for the 2008 Robert Park Outstanding Book Award given by the ASA's Community and Urban Sociology Section Mardi Gras, jazz, voodoo, gumbo, Bourbon Street, the French Quarter-all evoke that place that is unlike any other: New Orleans. In Authentic New Orleans, Kevin Fox Gotham explains how New Orleans became a tourist town, a spectacular locale known as much for its excesses as for its quirky Southern charm. Gotham begins in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina amid the whirlwind of speculation about the rebuilding of the city and the dread of outsiders wiping New Orleans clean of the grit that made it great. He continues with the origins of Carnival and the Mardi Gras celebration in the nineteenth century, showing how, through careful planning and promotion, the city constructed itself as a major tourist attraction. By examining various image-building campaigns and promotional strategies to disseminate a palatable image of New Orleans on a national scale Gotham ultimately establishes New Orleans as one of the originators of the mass tourism industry-which linked leisure to travel, promoted international expositions, and developed the concept of pleasure travel. Gotham shows how New Orleans was able to become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States, especially through the transformation of Mardi Gras into a national, even international, event. All the while Gotham is concerned with showing the difference between tourism from above and tourism from below-that is, how New Orleans' distinctiveness is both maximized, some might say exploited, to serve the global economy of tourism as well as how local groups and individuals use tourism to preserve and anchor longstanding communal traditions.

    Abstract: This book enhances understanding and consensus on why and how we need to work more strategically and coherently on the integration of human rights and development. It reviews the approaches of different donor agencies and their rationales for working on human rights, and identifies the current practice in this field. It illustrates how aid agencies are working on human rights issues at the programming level, and it draws together lessons that form the core of the current evidence around the added value of human rights for development. Lastly, it addresses both new opportunities and conceptual and practical challenges to human rights within the evolving development partnerships between donors and partner countries, as well as in relation to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness as a new reference point of the international aid system. By giving numerous examples of practical approaches, this publication shows that there are various ways for donor agencies to take human rights more systematically into account – in accordance with their respective mandates, modes of engagement and comparative advantage.

    Abstract: In West Africa, approximately 16 million people depend directly or indirectly on cotton cultivation. But subsidies in the developed world have suppressed cotton prices and have made it difficult for West African producers to compete. Compounding the problem, WTO negotiations on the problem have been suspended. This publication contends that the dialogue between developed and developing countries on this topic must continue. It sets out the regional stakes linked to the economic and social importance of cotton in West Africa. It retraces the consultation process on the West African cotton crisis with the aim of finding a negotiated solution acceptable to all parties. Also discussed are the challenges and the measures that need to be taken over the medium and long term in order to prevent this sub-sector’s sudden collapse.

    Abstract: These workshop proceedings assess the third party liability and compensation mechanisms that would be implemented by participating countries in the event of a nuclear accident taking place within or near their borders. To do so, two fictitious accident scenarios were developed: one involving a fire in a nuclear installation located in the Slovak Republic and resulting in the release of significant amounts of radioactive materials off-site, and the other a fire on board a ship transporting enriched uranium hexafluoride along the Danube River. The first scenario was designed to involve the greatest possible number of countries, with the second being restricted to countries with a geographical proximity to the Danube. These proceedings contain the papers presented at the workshop, as well as reports on the discussion sessions held.

    Abstract: The movement of people, goods, capital and information is a central aspect of living in the inter-connected, globalised late-modern world. Although this broader view of mobility is recognized, this book focuses mainly on migration or the movement of people and examines multiple dwelling as a societal response to the major influences of increased mobility and amenity tourism (visiting or residing in high quality landscapes such as mountains, beaches and forests for leisure experiences).

    Abstract: Ordnungs- und Regulierungsstrukturen bei der Ausgestaltung der Informationsgesellschaft diskutieren führende Vertreter von Regulierungsorganisationen aus Bund und Ländern, im interdisziplinären und intersektoralen Dialog skizzieren Wissenschaftler und Praktiker strategische Aspekte der multimedialen Breitbandkommunikation. Die Konvergenz der Medien erzwingt Entscheidungen darüber, ob die bisherigen Ordnungsstrukturen ausreichend sind und welche neue Strukturen erarbeitet werden müssen. Das Recht bildet den Ordnungsrahmen, andererseits brauchen technische, wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Innovationen Freiheit, eine "Gasse für Innovation". Im Urheberrecht, den Schutzrechten für Jugend und Verbraucher, im umfassenden Medienrecht, in der globalen Governance sowie in neuen ökonomischen Ansätzen für die Errichtung technischer Infrastrukturen liegen zentrale Gestaltungsaufgaben für die Informationsgesellschaft.

    Continuity and Change Among Canadian Mennonite Brethren (2006)

    Keywords: Evangelical Mennonite Brethren ; Kanada
    Abstract: More than 450 years after their birth in the Anabaptist movement, 125 years after their secession from Russian Mennonitism, and 60 years after their immigration to Canada, the Mennonite Brethren exhibit specific and measurable signs of sectarian viability and religious vitality. To explain the persistence of the sect, Hamm analyses the process of sacralization within the Canadian Mennonite Brethren Church - which "safeguards identity, a system of meaning, or a definition of reality" - and the process of secularization - which "erodes boundaries, dislodges stable structures, and destroys identity." It is an oversimplification, the author argues, to insist that the factors of continuity - ethical and cognitive norms, family solidarity, ethnicity, worship, evangelism, community and church structures, and service agencies - are solely integrative and that the factors of change - urbanization, education, occupational change, and economic affluence - are solely disruptive. Instead, a complex dialectic between the two processes is at work that prevents restrictive rigidity within the sect and excessive accommodation to the host society. According to the author, "this analysis of the Canadian Mennonite Brethren becomes a case study to test the utility of an identity theory of religion, which hinges on the integration/differentiation dialectic. It is, at the same time, a serious self-study in religious sociology, by which the author seeks to gain a better understanding of the processes of growth and decline, of continuity and change, and of the ongoing tension resulting from the religious movement's confrontation with society.".

    Abstract: Toxic Diversity offers an invigorating view of race, gender, and law in America. Analyzing the work of preeminent legal scholars such as Patricia Williams, Derrick Bell, Lani Guinier, and Richard Delgado, Dan Subotnik argues that race and gender theorists poison our social and intellectual environment by almost deliberately misinterpreting racial interaction and data and turning white males into victimizers. Far from energizing women and minorities, Subotnik concludes, theorists divert their energies from implementing America's social justice agenda. Insisting, in the words of James Baldwin, that "not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced," and that thoughtful Americans regardless of race and gender can handle frank conversations about difficult topics, Subotnik's critique of race and gender theory pulls no punches as it confronts such inflammatory issues as single parenthood, the merit system in academic and business settings, gender privilege in the classroom, and crime.

It draws on empirical work and a range of theoretical frameworks, arguing that tourism matters precisely because of the lessons it can teach us about everyday life.

    Abstract: This publication presents four studies which represent recent core work of the OECD Investment Committee. The first study, "Transparency and Third Party Participation in Investor-to-State Dispute Settlement ," aims to enhance understanding of the role of transparency and third party participation in investor-state dispute settlement procedures. It examines the current rules, steps taken to improve transparency, and the perceived advantages as well as the challenges of additional transparency. Two other studies touch upon two of the most frequently contested provisions in investor-state arbitration. "Fair and Equitable Treatment Standard in International Investment Law" clarifies the concept, based on jurisprudence and state practice. "‘Indirect Expropriation’ and the ‘Right to Regulate’ in International Investment Law" identifies the main criteria found in investment agreements and used by tribunals to articulate the difference between the two concepts. The final paper looks at most favoured nation treatment.

    Abstract: In recent years, the main focus of territorial policy has been on sustaining growth, not only to address relative decline, but also to make regions more competitive. Putting this in practice is complicated because different regions have different characteristics (urban, intermediate, industrial, rural, etc.), which imply specific policy and investment needs. This report assesses the strategies pursued by OECD member governments to address the competitiveness of regional economies and the accompanying governance mechanisms on which the implementation of these strategies rests. The report is principally based on findings from the series of reviews undertaken by the OECD Territorial Development Policy Committee at national and regional levels.

    Abstract: This book rejects apocalyptic pronouncements that the end of the millenium represents the 'end' of nature as well. Remaking Reality brings together contributors from across the human sciences who argue that a notion of 'social nature' provides great hope for the future. Applying a variety of theoretical approaches to social nature, and engaging with debates in politics, science, technology and social movements surrouding race, gender and class, the contributors explroe important and emerging sites where nature is now being remade with considerable social and ecological consequences. The essays are organised around two themes: 'capitalising and envisioning nature' and 'actors, networks and the politics of hybridity'. An afterword by Neil Smith reflects on the problems and possibilities of future names. For critics and activists alike, Remaking Reality provides essential theoretical and political tools to rethink environmentalism and progressive social natures for the twenty first century.

    Keywords: Brown, Oliver ; Schwarze ; Rassendiskriminierung ; Eugenik ; Bildungspolitik ; USA ; Topeka, Kan.
    Abstract: In this fascinating examination of the intriguing but understudied period following the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, John Jackson examines the scientific case aimed at dismantling the legislation. Offering a trenchant assessment of the so-called scientific evidence, Jackson focuses on the 1959 formation of the International Society for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics (IAAEE), whose expressed function was to objectively investigate racial differences and publicize their findings. Notable figures included Carleton Putnam, Wesley Critz George, and Carleton Coon. In an attempt to link race, eugenics and intelligence, they launched legal challenges to the Brown ruling, each chronicled here, that went to trial but ultimately failed. The history Jackson presents speaks volumes about the legacy of racism, as we can see similar arguments alive and well today in such books as The Bell Curve and in other debates on race, science, and intelligence. With meticulous research and a nuanced understanding of the complexities of race and law, Jackson tells a disturbing tale about race in America.

    Abstract: Timescapes of Modernity explores the relationship between time and environmental and socio-cultural concerns. Using examples such as the BSE crisis, the Sea Empress oil pollution and the Chernobyl radiation Barbara Adam argues that environmental hazards are inescapably tied to the successes of the industrial way of life. Global markets and economic growth; large-scale production of food; the speed of transport and communication; the 24 hour society and even democratic politics are among the invisible hazards we face. With this unique 'timescape' perspective the author dislodges assumptions about environmental change, enables a rethinking of environmental problems and provides the potential for new strategies to deal with environmental hazards.

    Abstract: This book brings together the findings of key sector- and media-specific analyses of the environment in the Eastern Europe, Caucasus, and Central Asia (EECCA) area and puts forward a set of indicators to provide a one-stop, concise and up-to-date assessment that is accessible also to a non-specialist audience. It systematically looks at environmental legislation, policies, and institutions; pollution prevention and control; natural resources management; environmental policy integration; financial resources for the environment; environmental information and public awareness; and co-operation on transboundary issues. It finds that the problems are serious, but they vary across countries. A significant burden of environmental disease persists – one out of 1 000 children born in Tajikistan dies before the age of five due to diarrhoeal diseases closely associated to lack of safe water. Despite low income levels, natural resources are under heavy pressure – nine out of twelve countries forming the region are water-stressed. To confront those problems, institutional development and policy responses would need to be stepped up. This assessment finds that current policies are often ineffective in stimulating significant improvements, scarce resources are spent without clear programmatic frameworks, and policy integration is very limited.

    The March of Unreason : Science, Democracy, and the New Fundamentalism (2005)

    Keywords: Wissenschaftliches Zeitalter ; Fundamentalismus ; Globalisierung ; Demokratie
    Abstract: In The March of Unreason, Dick Taverne argues cogently that pessimism and distrust of science and technology has become rife in society, combined with the growth of irrationality and practices unsupported by evidence, such as alternative medicine. The growth of eco-fundamentalism, arising from a misguided belief that Nature is best has resulted in an enthusiasm for organic farming, a campaign against the MMR vaccine, and above all a concerted effort to block the development and growing of genetically modified crops - a technology that may greatly alleviate world hunger. Taverne argues that this dangerous trend leads to intolerance and a threat to democracy. Only reason and science can form a sound basis on which to build a just and open society.

    Keywords: Internationale Kriminalität ; Organisiertes Verbrechen ; Illegalität ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: Illicit Flows and Criminal Things offers a new perspective on illegal transnational linkages, international relations, and the transnational. The contributors argue for a nuanced approach that recognizes the difference between "organized" crime and the thousands of illicit acts that take place across national borders every day. They distinguish between the illegal (prohibited by law) and the illicit (socially perceived as unacceptable), which are historically changeable and contested. Detailed case studies of arms smuggling, illegal transnational migration, the global diamond trade, borderland practices, and the transnational consumption of drugs take us to Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and North America. They allow us to understand how states, borders, and the language of law enforcement produce criminality, and how people and goods which are labeled "illegal" move across regulatory spaces.
