European Climate Diplomacy in the USA and China
"Buchmann analyses the work of UK, German, Danish and Swedish embassies in the USA and China on climate change in the late 2000s and early 2010s. She relates which coalitions and narratives embassies sought to develop to convince China and the United States that a more progressive climate policy was possible, to achieve gains supporting an agreement under the UNFCCC. This book shows that a key interpretation of climate diplomacy was selling/trade: Europe selling technology "solutions" to solve climate change. In this narrative, Europe has already done what needs to be done and outsourcing of production to China e.g. is ignored. In the USA, embassies entered coalitions with states, faith groups and the military, arguing that a more progressive climate policy was mandated by either God or security concerns. State politicians, including Democrats, often actually didn't implement any climate policies. Any gains were reversed through climate denial lobbying funded by corporations. Embassies did not address this"--
European Climate Diplomacy in the USA and China
In this book, Katrin Buchmann offers a fascinating and insightful account of the efforts of several European embassies to create alliances in the United States and in China to support the UN climate negotiations leading up to COP15.
The Sixties Unplugged
The 1960s is a decade often seen through a rose-tinted lens: an era when the young would not only rule the world but change it, too, for the better. But does such fond nostalgia really stand up? Vivid, rich in anecdote, sometimes angry and always persuasive, The Sixties Unplugged is a hugely entertaining and authoritative account of the decade of myth and madness. Read it and remember that even if you weren’t there, you can still find out what really happened.
Tafeln klappern, Griffel kreischen
Zur Geschichte des Schulwesens: Im ausgehenden 21. Jahrhundert wird es Geräusche geben, die wohl vergessen sein werden: Das Bimmeln der Strassenbahn, das Klack-Klack der Schreibmaschinen, das Klappern der Schulschiefertafeln oder das schrille Kreischen der Griffel, wenn diese über die Schiefertafeln fuhren. Was als Studie im Rahmen einer Lehrer/-innen - Fortbildung begann, hat sich zu einem veritablen Forschungsprojekt gewandelt, dessen Ergebnis als zweiteilig gestaltetes Werk zur Geschichte des Schulwesens im Lötschental (Kanton Wallis) vorliegt. In zwölf Kapiteln wird die Schulgeschichte seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts nachgezeichnet. Beim Übergang von den katholischen Pfarrschulen zu...

Bräuche : Medien : Transformationen
Bräuche, Rituale und gemeinschaftliche Praktiken spiegeln aktuelle gesellschaftliche Prozesse, gleich ob sie auf lange Überlieferungen zurückblicken können oder neu entstandene Phänomene sind. Mit der großen Bedeutung von Medien rücken diese und mit ihnen zusammenhängende Fragen in den Blick der volkskundlichen Forschung: Medial vermittelt genießen Bräuche über ihre engeren sozialen und lokalen oder regionalen Bezugssysteme hinaus breite öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit; neue Medien bieten den Brauchakteuren selbst Möglichkeiten der vernetzten Kommunikation, der öffentlichen Inszenierung und der Reflexion des eigenen performativen Handelns; neue Medien sind kaum noch überschaubare R...
