The Crisis of Democracy? Chances, Risks and Challenges in Japan (Asia) and Germany (Europe)
“Is democracy in crisis?” Against the background of a visible loss of trust in political, economic, religious and other institutions in Japan and Germany, this question is being posed with increasing urgency. This volume brings together contributions from political sciences, sociology, economics, psychology, history, law, and educational science to shed light on the future of our democracies, economies, educational systems, party politics, national policies, and social-structural changes, as well as socialization in the family and school, and related value changes. By focusing on Japan and Germany, and including examples from Western Europe and East Asia, this publication will determine transnational tendencies and provide an understanding of the different consequences of development from country to country against the background of different historical-cultural traditions and institutional realities.
Cold Kindness
Mr. Siluk's book, Cold Kindness, could be considered the sequel to his previous book Perhaps it's Love, but going in the opposite direction. It is what makes it unique in its own way though. Most of us look for love and when it starts to vanish, try to hold onto it as long as possible; thus, likewise, Carmen tries, and so does her lover, Adam; but do they achieve this? The year is 195960, when the story takes place, in a small city called Dieburg, in West Germany. The author has been to all locations mentioned in the story, for example: Dieburg, Augsburg, Darmstadt, Babenhausen, Garmisch, and Frankfurt Germany. Mr. Siluk boils the pot of truth, to suite the theme; we have fiction mixed with fact. "Dennis is a prolific and passionate writer. He writes about his many life experiences and things he believes in." Matt James, Editor of the 'useless.knowledge, ' magazine [1.2 million readership; 12/2004] "You're a Master of the written word." "I have just finished reading your volume 'Death on Demand, ' and I have to say, you are a helluva author.

War Stories
What are the influences on war correspondents as they report on news in war-torn countries? Originally published in 1995, Mark Pedelty explores the lives, work and culture of an international press corps. He writes about the reporters who covered El Salvador’s civil war. Going beyond those specifics to look at the institutions, practices, myths, and rituals that pattern the work of journalists everywhere. He tells us the stories of war correspondents at work and at play, as they cover the news. The myth, developed in part from the movies we watch and from CNN, is that war is reported from the front lines. More often, it is reported from the front office as journalists sit around waiting fo...
Russia and the Right to Self-Determination in the Post-Soviet Space
The right to self-determination is renowned for its lack of clear interpretation. Broadly speaking, one can differentiate between a liberal and a nationalist tradition. In modern international law, the balance between these two opposing traditions is sought in an attempt to contain or'domesticate' the nationalist version by limiting it to 'abnormal' situations, such as colonialism in the sense of 'alien subjugation, domination and exploitation'.This book situates Russia's engagement with the right to self-determination in this debate. It shows that Russia has a distinct approach to self-determination that sets it apart both from Western States and from state practice during Soviet times. Aga...

Dynasties and Female Political Leaders in Asia
This book is the first comprehensive academic effort to examine the phenomenon of top female political leaders in Asia. It portrays prime ministers, presidents, and opposition leaders, but it is not a conventional biographical volume. Rather, it analyzes female politicians by means of case studies that are based on a common theoretical framework. The case studies were conducted over three years of field research, which included interviews with the female leaders themselves and members of their inner circle. Each chapter explores the similarities, but also points to the distinctiveness of each female leader, arising from political and social systems, cultural and religious conditions, and economic parameters.
