Content: European Social Policy brings together a distinguished group of specialists who examine the development and current status of European social policies in areas such as social security, industrial relations, regional development, gender equity, agriculture, and immigration. The authors emphasize the distinctive dynamic that arises from a multitiered system in which individual member states share policymaking responsibilities with central authorities. European social policy, emerging in conjunction with the construction of the common market, is the result of a pluralistic process in which member states, social actors, and European institutions, such as the Commission and the European Court of Justice, all vie for influence. According to the authors, the highly fragmented structure of European social policy typifies policymaking in the new European polity, where policy develops without being under the firm control of any particular political group

Content: The book also provides a comparison of social policymaking in the EU with that in Canada and the United States, two other multitiered, or federal, systems

Content: When New German cinema directors like R. W. Fassbinder, Ulrike Ottinger, and Werner Schroeter explored issues of identity--national, political, personal, and sexual--music and film style played crucial roles. Most studies of the celebrated film movement, however, have sidestepped the role of music, a curious oversight given its importance to German culture and nation formation. Caryl Flinn's study reverses this trend, identifying styles of historical remembrance in which music participates. Flinn concentrates on those styles that urge listeners to interact with difference--including that embodied in Germany's difficult history--rather than to "master" or "get past" it. Flinn breaks new ground by considering contemporary reception frameworks of the New German Cinema, a generation after its end. She discusses transnational, cultural, and historical contexts as well as the sexual, ethnic, national, and historical diversity of audiences. Through detailed case studies, she shows how music helps filmgoers engage with a range of historical subjects and experiences. Each chapter of The New German Cinema examines a particular stylistic strategy, assessing music's role in each. The study also examines queer strategies like kitsch and camp and explores the movement's charged construction of human bodies on which issues of ruination, survival, memory, and pleasure are played out.

Note: Includes bibliographical references and index , Introduction: "strategies of remembrance" -- Mourning, melancholia, and "new German melodrama" -- Modernism's aftershocks: Peer Raben's film music for Fassbinder -- Kluge's assault on history: trauma, testimony, and difference in the patriot -- Undoing act 5: history, bodies, and operatic remains: Kluge's the power of emotion -- Restaging history with fantasy: body, camp, and sound in the films of Treut, Ottinger, and Von Praunheim -- Introjecting kitsch: Werner Schroeter, music, and alterity

Blank -- An Islamic concept of conflict in its historical context / Lewis B. Ware -- Cultural and historical influences on conflict in Sinic Asia : China, Japan, and Vietnam / Lawrence E. Grinter -- Culture and conflict in Latin America : myth or reality? / Bynum E. Weathers -- Culture and conflict in Africa's history : the transition to the modern era / Karl P. Magyar , "Five specialists examine the historical relationship of culture and conflict in various regional societies. The authors use Adda B. Bozeman's theories on conflict and culture as the basis for their analyses of the causes, nature, and conduct of war and conflict in the Soviet Union, the Middle East, Sinic Asia (China, Japan, and Vietnam), Latin America, and Africa. Drs. Blank, Lawrence Grinter, Karl P. Magyar, Lewis B. Ware, and Bynum E. Weathers conclude that non-Western cultures and societies do not reject war but look at violence and conflict as a normal and legitimate aspect of sociopolitical behavior."--Publisher's website
