Von Government zu Governance
Die Erkenntnis, dass informelle Regeln und Praktiken konstitutiv für jedes politische System sind, gehört zum Basiswissen der Politikwissenschaft. Doch die Governance-Debatte der letzten Jahre hat deutlich gemacht, dass sich sowohl die Praxis des Regierens als auch die Reflexion über Regieren strukturell verändert haben. Dies erfordert von der Politikwissenschaft eine veränderte Herangehensweise der Analyse des Regierens unter den Bedingungen von Informalität. Informale Governance beinhaltet, dass sich Steuerung und Koordination, durch das Zusammenwirken staatlicher und gesellschaftlicher Akteure, im Rahmen formaler und informaler Institutionen vollzieht. Beide Regelsysteme formen dabei gemeinsam den institutionellen Funktions- und Handlungsraum der Regierung. Die im Sonderheft versammelten vergleichenden Analysen vermitteln empirisch gesättigte Fallanalysen und markieren Defizite und produktive Potentiale des Zusammenwirkens staatlicher und gesellschaftlicher Akteure bei der Lösung öffentlicher Probleme. Sie zeigen ein variationsreiches Spektrum von Formen informaler Governance in Europa, Deutschland und anderen politischen Systemen
From Revolt to Riches
This collection investigates the culture and history of the Low Countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from both international and interdisciplinary perspectives. The period was one of extraordinary upheaval and change, as the combined impact of Renaissance, Reformation and Revolt resulted in the radically new conditions – political, economic and intellectual – of the Dutch Republic in its Golden Age. While many aspects of this rich and nuanced era have been studied before, the emphasis of this volume is on a series of interactions and interrelations: between communities and their varying but often cognate languages; between different but overlapping spheres of human activi...
Swallows and Floating Horses
"Swallows and Floating Horses is a comprehensive bilingual anthology of Frisian literature, including nearly a hundred and fifty poems and prose extracts from all historical periods and all areas where Frisian is spoken and written, accompanied by new translations into English by a group of respected translators. The editors have selected a richly coloured collection of text fragments that tell the story of the Frisians and their language, historically the closest to English - legends, stories, reminiscences, journalism, drama, children's rhymes, extracts from the enigmatic Oera Linda Book, as well as other surprising texts. The anthology begins with the ancient Old Frisian laws and concludes with examples of contemporary poetry and prose. Frisian is mainly spoken in the present Dutch province of Friesland (Fryslân), but varieties of Frisian are also spoken along parts of the North Sea coast of Germany." --back cover.
The Geography of Rural Change
The Geography of Rural Change provides a thorough examination of the processes and outcomes of rural change as a result of a period of major restructuring in developed market economies. After outlining the main dimensions of rural change, the book progresses from a discussion of theoretical insights into rural restructuring to a consideration of both the extensive use of rural land and the changing nature of rural economy and society. The text places an emphasis on relevant principles, concepts and theories of rural change, and these are supported by extensive case study evidence drawn from different parts of the developed world. The Geography of Rural Change is written for undergraduates taking courses in human geography, agricultural geography, rural geography, rural sociology, planning and agricultural economics.
