The Secret of Benedict XVI
According to many informed observers, the Church is in the midst of the most serious crisis it has ever undergone. More and more questions keep arising about what really happened in 2013 with the surprising “resignation” of Benedict XVI, his decision to remain on as “pope emeritus,” and thus the presence of two popes living side-by-side. Why had the papacy of Benedict XVI become a sign of contradiction? What was happening on the geopolitical level? Who supported a “revolution” within the Catholic Church? Did, in fact, Pope Benedict truly resign? These are the questions Antonio Socci tries to answer, in what can only be described as an exciting “thriller,” closely scrutinizing...
Media Ownership in Africa in the Digital Age
Who owns the media and communications in Africa today and with what implications? The book elegantly answers this urgent question by unpacking multiple dimensions of media ownership through rare and authoritative perspectives, including both historical and contemporary digital developments. It traces the evolving forms of ownership of media and communications in specific African contexts, showing how they interact with broader changes in and outside the continent. The book also shows how Big Techs, such as Meta (formerly known as Facebook), are involved in a scramble for Africa’s digital ecosystem and how their advance brings both opportunities and concerns about ownership and control. The...
The Forum of Federations Handbook of Fiscal Federalism
This open access handbook compares fiscal federalism arrangements in eleven federal/ decentralized countries. Each chapter examines an individual country, laying out its constitutional design as relates to fiscal powers and the division of those powers between levels of government. Specifically, the analyses consider powers of taxation, spending, regulation, and more. Focusing on Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, the contributors provide a fascinating account of how federal countries are confronting the traditional challenges of conflicts over division of fiscal powers while also coping with the ongoing challenges of globalization and citizen empowerment that arise from the information revolution. As a companion to the Forum of Federations Handbook of Federal Countries 2020, this volume considers how relationships and roles in different orders of government are being reshaped, and shows how local solutions inspired by global principles help strengthen government accountability and improve citizens’ quality of life. This is an open access book.
Routledge Handbook of Environmental Journalism
The Routledge Handbook of Environmental Journalism provides a thorough understanding of environmental journalism around the world. An increasing number of media platforms – from newspapers and television to Internet social media networks – are the major providers of indispensable information about the natural world and environmental risk. Despite the dramatic changes in the news industry that have tended to reduce the number of full-time newspaper reporters, environmental journalists remain key to bringing stories to light across the globe. With contributions from around the world broken down into five key regions – the United States of America, Europe and Russia, Asia and Australia, Africa and the Middle East, and South America – this book provides support for today’s environment reporters, the providers of essential news in the 21st century. As a scholarly and journalistic work written by academics and the environmental reporters themselves, this volume is an essential text for students and scholars of environmental communication, journalism, and global environmental issues more generally, as well as professionals working in this vital area.
O processo constitucional administrativo como garantia da efetividade do direito fundamental ao acesso à justiça administrativa
O livro busca compreender a função atribuída ao processo administrativo no Estado Democrático de Direito, sob os ditames da Constituição Federal de 1988, como um mecanismo de efetividade do direito fundamental ao acesso à justiça por esse tipo, sem ter a pretensão de afastar as funções constitucionais do Poder Judiciário, mas de garantir àqueles que desejam alcançar a solução definitiva do conflito dentro dessa espécie de via o exercício das garantias constitucionais. Para tanto, foram abordados os parâmetros adotados pelo Estado Democrático de Direito no Brasil, com o objetivo de verificar qual a importância do processo administrativo, como mecanismo de solução de con...
Gli artigli del Margay
Che cos’hanno in comune un’attrice di teatro, un’insegnante di Qì Gōng, una fashion blogger, una professoressa di lettere, una laureanda in Conservazione dei Beni architettonici e un’anestesista? All’apparenza, nulla. Sei donne dalla vita diversa che forse non si sono mai incontrate. Eppure, sono state tutte vittime della ferocia del Professore, killer psicopatico ossessionato dal sesso, che sta sconvolgendo le tranquille notti romane. Il caso è complesso e le indagini procedono piuttosto a rilento finché il sottosegretario al Ministero degli Interni, Samuele Blas Quagliata, colpito a livello emotivo dalla vicenda, le affida al capitano dei Carabinieri Gherardo Petrone, in coll...
