Localising Leadership
‘Localising Leadership’ provides an invaluable reference point for senior executives or those striving towards a successful cross-border career, to understand how cultural differences impact upon leadership styles and practices. Each semester, we publish a report on our quantitative survey-based global study, alongside our review of extant in-country leadership literature, preferably written by local scholars and professionals in their native language. Moreover, we attempt to empirically validate these findings by conducting expert interviews with native specialists. This new issue of our ongoing leadership series presents country-specific analyses of culturally endorsed leadership pract...
Britain and Tibet 1765-1947
This bibliography is a record of British relations with Tibet in the period from 1765 to 1947. It also provides background information to Tibet's claims to independence, an issue of current importance. The work is divided into a number of sections and subsections, based on chronology, geography and events. The introductions to each of the sections provide a condensed and informative history of the period and place the books and articles in their historical context. This work is both a history and a bibliography of the subject, and provides a rapid entry into a complex area for scholars in the fields of international relations and military history as well as Asian history.
Im Zeichen der Nationalisierung
Bisher hat noch keine Schweizer Universität ihre Geschichte in der Zwischenkriegszeit aufgearbeitet. Diese Studie macht mit der Universität Zürich den Anfang. Der erste Teil wertet Studierendendaten aus und verdeutlicht den Bedeutungsverlust des «Ausländerstudiums» für die größte Schweizer Universität. Die quantitative Analyse zeigt, dass die ausländischen Studierenden hauptsächlich aus Deutschland, Polen und den USA kamen. Die Motive dieser drei Gruppen für die akademische (Zwangs-) Migration werden genauer untersucht. Der zweite Teil erforscht anhand von umfangreichen Quellenmaterialien die Ausländerpolitik und die Haltung der einheimischen Professoren und Studierenden gegenüber Ausländerinnen und Ausländern. Dabei steht die Frage im Zentrum, ob die Universitätsangehörigen die mit der Nationalisierung einhergehenden Überzeugungen wie Antisemitismus, Fremden- und Frauenfeindlichkeit teilten.

The Weight of Finitude
Ludwig Heyde's award winning examination of the weight of finitude and its relation to God is translated here for the first time in English. Though philosophers may question if there still is room for God in philosophy after Nietzsche's pronouncement that "God is dead," Heyde suggests that a full acceptance of the finitude of existence can lead to the affirmation of God. He criticizes conceptions that have unconsciously dominated our thinking since the Enlightenment. In relation to the philosophical tradition—Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, Descartes, Kant, and primarily Hegel, among others—certain "experiences" are developed which thought can undergo when it goes to its limits and asks after the ground of all that is. At the same time, Heyde investigates how well the affirmation of God stands up against various intellectual and existential challenges such as Kant's critique, the experience of evil and suffering, and the thought of Heidegger and Nietzsche.
