MigrantInnen als Führungskräfte
Interkulturelles Coaching gilt als ideale Ergänzung zu interkulturellem Training für Expatriates. Ausländische Führungskräfte in Deutschland erhalten aber oft weder das eine noch das andere, sondern müssen sich selbst orientieren. Weltbild und Lernstil, die Migrationserfahrung und die asiatische Gewissensprägung spielen eine entscheidende Rolle in der Zusammenarbeit mit den oft hoch qualifizierten asiatischen MigrantInnen. Eva-Sabine Petry untersucht am Beispiel indonesischer Fach- und Führungskräfte, wie das westliche Konzept des Coaching adaptiert werden muss, damit es für MigrantInnen zur echten Unterstützung im Arbeitsalltag und bei der Übernahme von Führungsverantwortung wird. Sie zeigt darüber hinaus Wege zu gemeinsamem interkulturellen Lernen auf.

The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare
This book offers a comprehensive, readable and authoritative introduction to the study of Shakespeare, by means of nineteen newly commissioned essays. An international team of prominent scholars provide a broadly cultural approach to the chief literary, performative and historical aspects of Shakespeare's work. They bring the latest scholarship to bear on traditional subjects of Shakespeare study, such as biography, the transmission of the texts, the main dramatic and poetic genres, the stage in Shakespeare's time and the history of criticism and performance. In addition, authors engage with more recently defined topics: gender and sexuality, Shakespeare on film, the presence of foreigners in Shakespeare's England and his impact on other cultures. Helpful reference features include chronologies of the life and works, illustrations, detailed reading lists and a bibliographical essay.
Shaftesbury and the Culture of Politeness
The third Earl of Shaftesbury was a pivotal figure in eighteenth-century thought and culture. Professor Klein's study is the first to examine the extensive Shaftesbury manuscripts and offer an interpretation of his diverse writings as an attempt to comprehend contemporary society and politics and, in particular, to offer a legitimation for the new Whig political order established after 1688. As the focus of Shaftesbury's thinking was the idea of politeness, this study involves the first serious examination of the importance of the idea of politeness in the eighteenth century for thinking about society and culture and organising cultural practices. Through politeness, Shaftesbury conceptualised a new kind of public and critical culture for Britain and Europe, and greatly influenced the philosophical and cultural models associated with the European Enlightenment.

Ausländische Direktinvestitionen in ressourcenreichen Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern: Auswirkungen auf das Wirtschaftswachstum am Beispiel Nigeria und Indonesien
Seit Beginn der 80er Jahre haben ausländische Direktinvestitionen (FDI = foreign direct investment) im internationalen Kapitalverkehr zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Die eindrucksvolle Entwicklung der FDI-Zahlen in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten spiegelt die zunehmende weltwirtschaftliche Bedeutung von Auslandsinvestitionen wider: Der globale Bestand wuchs von rund 698.951 Mio. US-Dollar im Jahr 1980 auf 20.438.199 Mio. US-Dollar im Jahr 2011. Obwohl Direktinvestitionen überwiegend zwischen Industrieländern getätigt werden, sind sie für Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländer von großer ökonomischer Bedeutung. Heute entfallen mit 684.399 Mio. US-Dollar fast die Hälfte der weltweiten Direkt...

A systematic and up-to-date account of the many facets of Mill's thought and influence.
The Rise of Supernatural Fiction, 1762-1800
A genre of supernatural fiction was among the more improbable products of the Age of Enlightenment. This book charts the troubled entry of the supernatural into fiction, and questions the historical reasons for its growing popularity in the late eighteenth century. Beginning with the notorious case of the Cock Lane ghost, a performing poltergeist who became a major attraction in London in 1762, and with Garrick's spellbinding and paradigmatic performance as the ghost-seeing Hamlet, it moves on to look at the Gothic novels of Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, M. G. Lewis, and others, in unexpected new lights. The central thesis concerns the connection between fictions of the supernatural and the growth of consumerism: not only are ghost stories successful commodities in the rapidly commercialising book market, they are also considered here as reflections on the disruptive effects of this socio-economic transformation.
Joseph Conrad and the Adventure Tradition
Nineteenth-century adventure fiction relating to the British empire usually served to promote, celebrate and justify the imperial project, asserting the essential and privileging difference between 'us' and 'them', colonizing and colonized. Andrea White's study opens with an examination of popular exploration literature in relation to later adventure stories, showing how a shared view of the white man in the tropics authorized the European intrusion into other lands. She then sets the fiction of Joseph Conrad in this context, showing how Conrad in fact demythologized and disrupted the imperial subject constructed in earlier writing, by simultaneously - with the modernist's double vision - admiring man's capacity to dream but applauding the desire to condemn many of its consequences. She argues that the very complexity of Conrad's work provided an alternative, and more critical, means of evaluating the experience of empire.
