Foundations of Global Communication
This book provides a wide-ranging theoretical and empirical overview of the disparate achievements and shortcomings of global communication. This exceptionally ambitious and systematic project takes a critical perspective on the globalization of communication. Uniquely, it sets media globalization alongside a plethora of other globalized forms of communication, ranging from the individual to groups, civil society groupings, commercial enterprises and political formations. The result is a sophisticated and impressive overview of globalized communication across various facets, assessing the phenomena for the extent to which they live up to the much-hyped claims of globalization’s potential t...

German Corporate Governance in International and European Context
Corporate governance encompasses the free enterprise system, which is treated comprehensively in this book from a German perspective. This distinguishes the book from other books written in English in this subject area, not only because of the comprehensive way it covers German corporate law and corporate governance, but also because of the fact that it provides international and European perspectives on these important topics. This second edition is an extensively revised and updated version of the first edition, in particular with a view to the worldwide debt crisis. The authors provide readers with an overview of the unique features of German business and enterprise law and an in-depth an...
Media Transatlantic: Developments in Media and Communication Studies between North American and German-speaking Europe
This book reflects recent scholarly and theoretical developments in media studies, or Medienwissenschaft. It focuses on linkages between North America and German‐speaking Europe, and brings together and contextualizes contributions from a range of leading scholars. In addition to introducing English‐language readers to some of the most prominent contemporary German media theorists and philosophers, including Claus Pias, Sybille Krämer and Rainer Leschke, the book shows how foundational North American contributions are themselves inspired and informed by continental sources. This book takes Harold Innis or Marshall McLuhan (and other members of the “Toronto School”) as central points of reference, and traces prospective and retrospective lines of influence in a cultural geography that is increasingly global in its scope. In so doing, the book also represents a new episode in the international reception and reinterpretation of the work of Innis and McLuhan, the two founders of the theory and study of media.

Die Kultur der siebziger Jahre
Die 17 Beiträge des Bandes beschreiben ganz neu das kulturelle Gesamtbild der 70er Jahre in seiner großen Breite und Komplexität. Ausgehend von Schlüsselbegriffen des politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Rahmens werden dabei erstmals prägnante Konturen dieses gesellschaftlichen Teilsystems und seiner Veränderungsprozesse sichtbar. Die Themen reichen von Literatur und Literaturbetrieb über die Sportkultur bis zur Pädagogik mit ihren alternativen Erziehungsstilen und Kinderläden, vom bundesdeutschen Rechtssystem über Werbung und Plakat bis zu Wohnen und Reisen, von der vielfältigen Musikkultur über die Entdeckung von Umwelt und Frieden als Wertkonstanten bis zur neuen Frauenbewegung. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt dabei wieder den Medien, insbesondere der Presse, der Fotografie, dem Film, dem Radio und den neuen Kindermedien. Geprägt von zunehmender Vielfalt und einem ernüchterten Pragmatismus verlor Kultur in dieser Dekade viel von ihrer gesellschaftsprägenden Kraft. Dabei korrespondierte ein allgemeiner Rückzug auf individuelle Sinninseln mit der verstärkten Instrumentalisierung von Kultur durch Wirtschaft.
