Slovakia on the Road to Independence
During the breakup of the Soviet Union, the countries of Eastern Europe underwent transitions to democracy that involved varying degrees of struggle and turmoil. Czechoslovakia eventually split in two with the establishment of separate Czech and Slovak republics in 1993. Paul Hacker witnessed this transition firsthand from his vantage point as head of the U.S. Consulate in Bratislava. This is his story of U.S. diplomacy during this period, from the time the consulate was reestablished there in 1990 (after a forty-year hiatus during the Cold War) through the opening of the U.S. Embassy in 1993 after Slovakia had gained its independence. The memoir covers the volatile political intrigues and c...
Fundraising im Non-Profit-Sektor
Für die Unternehmen des "dritten Sektors", wie beispielsweise Non-Profit-Organisationen und Fundraisinggesellschaften, gelten die gleichen Regeln aus Marketing, Vertrieb und Kommunikation wie für alle anderen Unternehmen auch: Sie müssen ihre Kunden, ihre Spender, überzeugen und an sich binden. Das Instrumentarium der Marktforschung wird aber meist nur sehr zögerlich eingesetzt. In diesem Buch fokussieren die Autoren mosaikartig auf ausgewählte Gebiete und Instrumente der Marktforschung, um so beispielhaft ihre Viefältigkeit und insbesondere ihre Einsatzgebiete im Non-Profit-Sektor und im Dienstleistungsbereich aufzuzeigen. Mit zahreichen Fallbeispielen, Checklisten, Dos und Don'ts.

Resilience and Urban Governance
This book challenges the concept of ‘urban resilience’ by exploring its impact and limitations in three cities. Resilience has become a buzzword in science, industry, and policy, and this volume offers a fresh perspective on urban resilience as a regulatory and constitutive principle of governance in cities. Cities constitute an extremely relevant playground for resilience, as they are exposed to various disruptions, from natural disasters and pandemics to political conflicts and terrorism. This book traces the evolution of urban resilience, from international development organizations to local governments and communities. It explores how this concept was adopted and mobilized by differe...
