Entwicklungsperspektiven von Niedrigeinkommensländern - Zur Bedeutung von Wissen und Institutionen
Wissen und Institutionen sind wichtige Entwicklungsfaktoren für die sogenannten Niedrigeinkommensländer. Was dabei genau unter Wissen" und "Institutionen" zu verstehen ist und welche politischen Folgerungen zu ziehen sind - dies sind die zentralen Fragen, mit denen sich der Entwicklungsländerausschuß des Vereins für Socialpolitik anläßlich seiner Jahrestagung 2000 befaßte. Der vorliegende Band enthält die auf dieser Tagung gehaltenen Referate und Korreferate. Es zeigt sich, daß "Wissen" einerseits in Form von Bildung und Humankapital wichtig ist. Andererseits kommt aber auch speziellem Wissen, etwa über die Wirkungen von Makropolitik, von Zentralisierung oder Dezentralisierung, vo...
Alterity and Facticity
Husserl's phenomenology has often been criticized for its Cartesian, fundamentalistic, idealistic and solipsistic nature. Today, this widespread interpretation must be regarded as being outdated, since it gives but a very partial and limited picture of Husserl's thinking. The continuing publication of Husserl's research manuscripts has disclosed analyses which have made it necessary to revise and modify a number of standard readings. This anthology documents the recent development in Husserl research. It contains contributions from a number of young phenomenologists, who have all defended their dissertation on Husserl in the nineties, and it presents a new type of interpretation which emphasizes the dimensions of facticity, passivity, alterity and ethics in Husserl's thinking.
Forced Displacement and Migration
This book presents effective long-term solutions for displacement and migration against the background of the current debates. It offers insights on practical suggestions for dealing with displacement and migration due to violence, examines ideas for the management of global migration movements and looks into the integration of refugees and migrants. Throughout the chapters, experts from science, politics and practice shed light on the causes of global migration and the consequences of migration on a political, economic and social level. The focus of the discussion is not the avoidance of migratory movements, but above all the use of positive effects in countries of origin, transit and destination. The book is a must-read for researchers, policy-makers and politicians, interested in international cooperation and in a better understanding of causes, consequences and solutions of displacement and forced migration.
Fragile Diplomacy
While imported Chinese porcelain had become a valuable commodity in Europe in the seventeenth century, local attempts to produce porcelain long remained unsuccessful. At last the secret of hard-paste porcelain was uncovered, and in 1710 the first European porcelain was manufactured in Saxony. Meissen porcelain, still manufactured today, soon ranked in value with silver and gold. This thorough and lavishly illustrated volume explores the early years of Meissen porcelain and how the princes of Saxony came to use highly prized porcelain pieces as diplomatic gifts for presentation to foreign courts. An eminent team of international contributors examines the trade of Meissen with other nations, from England to Russia. They also investigate the cultural ambience of the Dresden Court, varying tastes of the markets, the wide range of porcelain objects, and their designers and makers. Individual chapters are devoted to gifts to Denmark, other German courts, the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, France, and other nations. For every Meissen collector or enthusiast, this book will be not only a treasured handbook but also a source of visual delight.
