    Series Statement: Political economy of institutions and decisions
    Content: This book examines monetary policy by focusing on how the President and the Senate influence monetary policy by appointing Federal Reserve members. It attempts to answer three questions about the appointment process and its effects. First, do politicians influence monetary policy through Federal Reserve appointments? Second, who influences the process - the President alone or both the President and the Senate? Third, what explains the structure of the Federal Reserve appointment process? The test models show that the President alone, both the President and Senate, or neither, may influence monetary policy with Federal Reserve appointments. The structure of the process reflects political battles between the Democrats and Republicans regarding the centralization of authority to set monetary policy within the Federal Reserve System. The study extends the analysis to the European Central Bank and shows that the Federal Reserve process is more representative of society than the European Central Bank process.

    Series Statement: Nachhaltige Entwicklung Band 10
    Content: Whether smartphone, smart home or smart city—digitalisation determines almost all areas of our lives today. The topic of sustainability is also omnipresent in 2019 and numerous challenges associated with it are currently being discussed. Digitalisation and sustainability can thus be regarded as the two megatrends of the 21st century. The question of whether digitalisation is an instrument for achieving sustainable development is increasingly at the centre of the debate. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) developed by the United Nations as part of the 2030 Agenda are of particular interest for assessing digitalisation as a potential means of achieving sustainable development. With the help of empirical work by students from the University of Kaiserslautern, this edited volume provides answers to the question of how different digital technologies can help to achieve these 17 goals. With contributions by Katharina Spraul, Cynthia Friedrich, Matthias Klos, Florian Wiegner, Marius Wienand, Antonino-Enrico Bucceri, Jana Becher, Pierre Kohlmann, Teresa Körber, Viktoria Kruppenbacher

    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: Nachhaltigkeit ist auf dem Finanzmarkt und in Banken angekommen. Die Nachhaltigkeitsdebatten transportieren eine andere Handlungslogik, andere Werte und Normen, an denen sich das Bankgeschäft, die Produktentwicklung, Kommunikation mit Stakeholdern oder die Eigenlage ausrichtet und legitimiert. Wie kam es zu diesem organisationalen und institutionellen Wandel? Warum haben sich Akteur_innen auf der Ebene einzelner Banken für die Ausgestaltung von Nachhaltigkeit und so zu einer Institutionalisierung einer Nachhaltigkeitslogik im deutschen Bankwesen eingesetzt? Das Buch beantwortet diese Fragen und trägt darüber hinaus zu einer Klärung des Akteursbild in der soziologischen Organisationstheorie bei
    Content: Sustainability has arrived on the financial market and in banks. The sustainability debate conveys a different form of procedural logic and different values and norms, towards which the banking industry, product development, communication with stakeholders or the banks’ own security deposit strategies are orientated and on which they are legitimised. How did this organisational and institutional change emerge? Why did actors at the level of particular banks advocate the implementation of sustainable symbols and practices and thus institutionalise thinking in terms of sustainability in the German banking sector? This book answers these questions and also helps to clarify the image of individual actors in sociological organisational theory

    Content: As marketing specialists know all too well, our experience of products is prefigured by brands: trademarks that identify a product and differentiate it from its competitors. This process of branding has hitherto gained little academic discussion in the field of literary studies. Literary authors and the texts they produce, though, are constantly 'branded': from the early modern period onwards, they have been both the object and the initiator of a complex marketing process. This book analyzes this branding process throughout the centuries, focusing on the case of the Netherlands. To what extent is our experience of Dutch literature prefigured by brands, and what role does branding play when introducing European authors in the Dutch literary field (or vice versa)? By answering these questions, the volume seeks to show how literary scholars can account for the phenomenon of branding.
