Opportunities for Environmentally Healthy, Inclusive, and Resilient Growth in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula
Approximately 4.1 million people live in the three states of the Yucatán Peninsula: Quintana Roo, Yucatán, and Campeche. Some 30 municipalities are in a coastal territory of almost 2,000 linear kilometers, from the oil fields of the Gulf of Mexico to the world-renowned beaches of Cancún, just north of the second-largest barrier reef in the world. The peninsula's natural assets also include notable Mayan temples. With poverty far from eliminated, and with economic development opportunities beckoning in agriculture, manufacturing, and hydrocarbon development, the region is under growing risks from environmental hazards. Oil spills, hurricanes, coral bleaching, extreme flooding, and erosion ...
The Hallelujah Effect
This book studies the working efficacy of Leonard Cohen's song Hallelujah in the context of today's network culture. Especially as recorded on YouTube, k.d. lang's interpretation(s) of Cohen's Hallelujah, embody acoustically and visually/viscerally, what Nietzsche named the 'spirit of music'. Today, the working of music is magnified and transformed by recording dynamics and mediated via Facebook exchanges, blog postings and video sites. Given the sexual/religious core of Cohen's Hallelujah, this study poses a phenomenological reading of the objectification of both men and women, raising the question of desire, including gender issues and both homosexual and heterosexual desire. A review of c...
Dominican Republic
Supported by sound policies and positive spillovers, the Dominican Republic has staged an impressive recovery from the pandemic, cementing its place as one of the most dynamic and resilient economies in the Western Hemisphere. The strong recovery began moderating at the end of 2022 in response to tighter global financial conditions, lower global demand, and policy accommodation withdrawal, helping ease inflationary pressures. The current account deficit widened in 2022 to 5.6 percent of GDP and was mostly financed by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows, with the country maintaining sound market access. The financial sector appears well-capitalized, liquid, and profitable.
Fostering Gender-Transformative Change in Sustainable Forest Management : The Case of the Dedicated Grant Mechanism (DGM)
Since 2015, the Dedicated Grant Mechanism for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (DGM) has provided a unique model for inclusive and bottom-up approaches to delivering climate finance for sustainable forest management. Through 12 country-level programs designed and implemented by Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), the DGM is guiding investment of around $80 million and impacting the livelihoods of over 200,000 people. DGM supported activities are intended to be designed and implemented in a gender-responsive and socially inclusive manner and aim to improve key gender equality outcomes based on the particular and varied contexts of DGM countries.

Doug Aitken
Civilization raises hopes; civilization is terrifying. These feelings are palpable in the inimitable works of art by the American artist Doug Aitken. His spectacular film and sound works take visitors on a synaesthetic journey around the world and into themselves; in an irresistible maelstrom of expressive images and rhythmic landscapes. With four expansive film installations and correlating sculptures as well as a site-specific sound installation, the exhibition will present an overview of the internationally renowned artist's heterogeneous oeuvre throughout the entire exhibition area of the SCHIRN; and beyond. Aitken's kaleidoscopic universe revolves around life's existential questions, ye...

Im Weltgarten zu Hamburg. Die internationalen Hamburger Gartenbauausstellungen des 19. Jahrhunderts
Die internationalen Hamburger Gartenbauausstellungen des 19. Jahrhunderts bieten ein Beispiel dafür, dass sich der Wandel zur modernen Gartenschau nicht erst im 20. Jahrhundert, sondern bereits im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts vollzogen hat. Dies ergibt sich aus der interdisziplinären Herangehensweise der vorliegenden kulturhistorischen Analyse, die einen neuen Blick auf das komplexe Phänomen der Gartenbauausstellung wirft. Durch die dezidierte Untersuchung einzelner Ausstellungskonzepte werden die charakteristischen Ausstellungsmerkmale bestimmt und das "Gesamtkunstwerk" der Gartenbauausstellung definiert. Dabei werden die vielseitigen Bezüge zu den ersten Weltausstellungen und der enge Zusammenhang zum gartenkulturellen Verbands- und Kongresswesen aufgezeigt, wodurch sich neue Erkenntnisse zur Professionalisierung der Gartenkultur ergeben. So boten die großen Spezialausstellungen zusammen mit den ersten Fachkongressen ein internationales Kommunikationsforum für den fachlichen und wissenschaftlichen Austausch von Gartenexperten und trugen zur Einführung neuer Berufsfelder der Gartenarchitektur, u. a. auch städtebaulicher Aufgaben, bei.
