    Content: Dieses Buch entwickelt ein umfassendes Konzept zur humanitären Theorie und Praxis, welche die Subjektivität und Handlungsfähigkeit der Opfer von Katastrophen in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Während traditionelle humanitäre Ansätze ihr Handeln grundsätzlich auf die Politik des Mitleids stützen, indem sie Opfer als passive Empfänger von Hilfe, als Gegenstände des Mitleids und als Begünstigte externer Hilfe betrachten, zeigt dieses Buch, dass ein solcher Ansatz den Opfern von Katastrophen nicht gerecht wird. Es demonstriert deshalb die Notwendigkeit, über diese traditionellen Ansätze der humanitären Hilfe hinauszugehen und die Würde der Opfer in den Mittelpunkt der humanitären Diskurse und Praktiken zu stellen
    Content: This book provides an insightful view in the philosophical foundation of one the most crucial global practices, namely humanitarian action, in view of current developments in international ethics. Indeed, in a globalized world, the suffering of many people has become more tangible than ever, and therefore also a philosophical and global political puzzle. Since the first phases of the globalization, which include the founding of the Red Cross, humanitarian action in the form of various assistance and support services, emerged as a cross-border concern. After the Second World War, humanitarian actors have significantly expanded their activities and also increased in size. Along with the emergence of this humanitarian practice, an evolving humanitarian theory has emerged which intended to provide the foundations for this commitment and to determine its principles. From a philosophical point of view, it is crucial to investigate which forms of ethical foundations and normative goals underlie this development and how, in view of various philosophical traditions, these developments are to be interpreted

    Series Statement: Studies in Imperialism
    Content: "This is the first exploration of Britain's plans for industrial development in its Caribbean colonies. Historians have often denied that Britain ever had such hopes, but this book shows that, following revelations of serious deprivation during the 1930s, the Colonial Office launched a scheme to revitalise the region by using cane sugar as the raw material for making fuels, plastics and drugs. This volume shows the practical and political importance of scientific research and expert advice for the creation and implementation of Britain's colonial development plans after 1940.Laboratory research into finding industrial uses for sugar offered a means for the Colonial Office to intervene in the development of the Caribbean with minimal disturbance to market forces. Once knowledge had been produced, decisions about the commercial production of sugar-based compounds could be left to business. This vision of industrial development rejected state planning and control, and was far more liberal in character than the large, rational and highly regimented schemes that were often promoted for colonial Africa. Colonial Office attempts to persuade the colonies to take up its preferred route to industrialisation were made difficult however, by the growing autonomy of Caribbean governments as they approached independence. Additionally, American experts attached to the Caribbean Commission offered an alternative model of industrial development, based on the work of Puerto Rico's development corporation. This book illustrates the competition between Britain and America to shape the future of the Caribbean region, in which the provision of information and expert advice assumed a crucial role. It brings to light forgotten ideas of sugar as an industrial raw material, and shows the importance of science in the colonies in the post-war period" --Back cover

    Content: Ever since George Washington warned against "foreign entanglements" in his 1796 farewell speech, the United States has wrestled with how to act toward other countries. Consequently, the history of anti-Americanism is as long and varied as the history of the United States. In this multidisciplinary collection, seventeen leading thinkers provide substance and depth to the recent outburst of fast talk on the topic of anti-Americanism by analyzing its history and currency in five key global regions: the Middle East, Latin America, Europe, East Asia, and the United States. The commentary draws from social science as well as the humanities for an in-depth study of anti-American opinion and sentiment in different cultures. The questions raised by these essays force us to explore the new ways America must interact with the world after 9/11 and the war against Iraq.

    Content: After her first two weeks observing the problems at DecisionTech, Kathryn Petersen, its new CEO, had more than a few moments when she wondered if she should have taken the job. But Kathryn knew there was little chance she would have turned it down. After all, retirement had made her antsy, and nothing excited her more than a challenge. What she could not have known when she accepted the job, however, was just how dysfunctional her team was, and how team members would challenge her in ways that no one ever had before. In this book, the author turns his keen intellect and storytelling power to the fascinating, complex world of teams. Kathryn Petersen, DecisionTech's CEO, faces the ultimate leadership crisis: uniting a team that is in such disarray that it threatens to bring down the entire company. Will she succeed? Will she be fired? Will the company fail? The author's story serves as a timeless reminder that leadership requires as much courage as it does insight. Throughout the story, he reveals the five dysfunctions that go to the very heart of why teams, even the best ones, often struggle. He outlines a powerful model and actionable steps that can be used to overcome these common hurdles and build a cohesive, effective team.--Publisher information.

    Series Statement: The Russia-Ukraine War Volume One
    Content: "The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 jeopardizes the country's independence and its chances for Western-style development. However, the heroic attitude of the Ukrainian people, combined with a solidifying national identity, makes the domestic foundations for a western turn stronger than ever. After the invasion, building strong foundations of liberal democracy will be a top priority. In addition to alleviating immediate problems, the country must also address its post-communist legacy and address the constraints of patronalism. The authors of this edited volume, leading Ukrainian scholars supplemented by colleagues from Hungary, examine the chances of an anti-patronal transformation after the war. The book provides an overview of the development of Ukraine's political-economic system: color revolutions in 2004 and 2014 brought democratic transformation, but no change in the patronage system The result was patronal regime cycles instead of the emergence of a Western-type liberal democracy in the country. Building on the conceptual framework of the editors' The Anatomy of Post-Communist Regimes (CEU Press, 2020), the 12 chapters examine the impact of the war on patronal democracy, the relational economy, clientelist society, and the international environment in which Ukraine operates.This collection is complemented by the book entitled Russia. Imperial Endeavor and Geopolitical Consequences"--

    Series Statement: Perspektiven der Analytischen Philosophie
    Content: Is it permissible to kill an innocent person against her will in order to prevent several other innocent persons from being killed against their will? The answer to which this essay comes after extensive discussion is - under certain conditions and limitations - affirmative. On the way to this answer, the book offers a comprehensive in-depth discussion of so-called deontic restrictions - that is, the idea of an action's being prohibited in circumstances in which performing it once would be the only way to prevent its being performed multiple times. The book's leading question is whether there is a plausible rationale for deontic restrictions. To this effect, a taxonomy and critical discussions of the most important approaches to justify deontic restrictions are provided - where many of these approaches undergo a deeper examination for the first time ever. In addition, the book clarifies some adjoining questions, such as why deontic restrictions are often perceived as being problematic or how the concept of agent-relativity should best be understood and formalized. Put into broader perspective, the conclusions offered should have a bearing on a number of debates in normative ethics, not least on the debate between deontologists and consequentialist

Bibliography , In this comprehensive second edition of The Economics of International Integration, Miroslav N. Jovanović examines the theory of international economic integration and explores the existing and emerging international integration agreements, their achievements, problems and prospects. One of the most important issues in international economics today concerns the dissipating multilateral trading system and the proliferation of a number of trading blocs and arrangements. This has been particularly the case after the establishment of the World Trade Organization in 1995 and especially during the Doha Round (2001-13). This book takes on those and other important new issues such as integration through spatially fragmented production, and the operation of supply chains. The author argues that international economic integration deals are here to stay, and evolve with variable successes in spite of advantages offered by the multilateral trading system. Jovanović's second edition includes up-to-date surveys of economic integration and their agreements, criticism of the eurozone and speculation on the future of integration. 'I taught one course on economic policy at Queen's University and met Miroslav Jovanović, who was the outstanding student in my class. I have followed his career ever since ... The most distinctive aspect of his treatment continues to be his union of theory and applied material. For him, the major interest always resides in the problems created by the working out of various forms of integration in real situations. He uses theory but no more than is needed to act as a tool for enlightening our understanding of what we see in the world around us ... For those who want a comprehensive survey relevant for understanding the issues surrounding economic integration, this is an excellent book.'--From the Foreword by Richard G. Lipsey

    Content: What if James T. Kirk and Spock had a baby, left the Enterprise and moved to New Vulcan to live happily ever after?Fan fiction plots like this are a strong testament of fans' endless creativity. Not only do the authors invent their own storylines but they have developed a generic definition of content across fandoms according to the relationship present in the text. Classification is therefore profoundly related to gender and sexuality. Julia Elena Goldmann examines these generic structures and formulaic patterns comparatively in Star Trek and Supernatural fan fiction. She also focuses on the interplay of the concepts of gender, sexuality, relationships and depictions of family in these texts
