Organised Crime in Europe
Whilst the nature of organised crime may keep changing with the effects of globalisation, technological developments and European integration, its impact remains the same in terms of undermining democracy, human rights and the rule of law. The "Octopus Programme" is a technical co-operation programme against corruption and organised crime initiated by the Council of Europe in 1996. This publication reviews the organised crime situation in Europe in 2004, in order to help member states ensure that counter-measures are based on a thorough knowledge of trends and good practice. It includes a chapter on the challenge of cybercrime, with an analysis of the different forms of cybercrime, its links to organised crime and terrorism, and its socio-economic impacts.
Paradoxien der Arbeit
Die Veränderungen der Arbeitswelt, die mit der sogenannten »Ökonomisierung aller Lebensbereiche« einhergehen, sind von Strömungen beeinflusst, die in künstlerischen Lebens- und Arbeitsformen ihr Vorbild suchen oder entwerfen. Diese Tendenzen beeinflussen nicht nur das Selbstverständnis derjenigen, die unter veränderten Bedingungen arbeiten - sie haben auch Auswirkungen darauf, was wir unter Arbeit verstehen. Dieser Theorieband untersucht - in Auseinandersetzung mit sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungen von u.a. Luc Boltanski/Eve Chiapello - die Veränderungen des Konzepts Arbeit und geht der Frage nach, welchen Einfluss »künstlerische« Arbeitsformen auf die heutige Arbeitsorganisation und den Arbeitsbegriff selbst haben.
BetriebswirtschaftsLEERE: 100 Jahre BWL sind genug
100 Jahre Betriebswirtschaftslehre – (k)ein Grund zum Feiern? BWL – drei goldene Buchstaben. Türöffner zu Konzernen, Eintrittskarte zur Karriere, Garant für Sicherheit und ein ordentliches Gehalt. Ist das wirklich noch so? Unternehmer und Wirtschaftsjournalist Axel Gloger antwortet darauf mit einem klaren Nein. Die Betriebswirtschaft lehrt ein seit Jahrzehnten veraltetes Denken weit weg vom unternehmerischen Alltag des Mittelstands. Von der Bologna-Reform zum Massenfach befördert, lenkt sie damit immer mehr Studierende in eine Sackgasse aus Bulimie-Lernen und Visionslosigkeit. Axel Gloger bringt pointiert und unterhaltsam auf den Punkt, warum die alte Dame BWL dringend ein Faceliftin...
Hacking Europe
Hacking Europe traces the user practices of chopping games in Warsaw, hacking software in Athens, creating chaos in Hamburg, producing demos in Turku, and partying with computing in Zagreb and Amsterdam. Focusing on several European countries at the end of the Cold War, the book shows the digital development was not an exclusively American affair. Local hacker communities appropriated the computer and forged new cultures around it like the hackers in Yugoslavia, Poland and Finland, who showed off their tricks and creating distinct “demoscenes.” Together the essays reflect a diverse palette of cultural practices by which European users domesticated computer technologies. Each chapter explores the mediating actors instrumental in introducing and spreading the cultures of computing around Europe. More generally, the “ludological” element--the role of mischief, humor, and play--discussed here as crucial for analysis of hacker culture, opens new vistas for the study of the history of technology.
