Brazil in the Geopolitics of Amazonia and Antarctica

From a pioneering perspective, the book contributes to the state-of-the-art contemporary Geopolitics by bringing together Amazonia and Antarctica in a single interdisciplinary volume. Three key issues are 1) the interconnectedness between these vital regions, 2) non-linearity, because they may lead to unpredictable effects on the Earth system, and; 3) emergence, which means the varied interactions between Amazonia and Antarctica may lead to unique results.

A Holistic Analysis of Law, Connecting Theory and Practice

  • Categories: Law

The holistic analysis of law has its historical roots in ancient Greece and Rome. A global or holistic law overview of any issue may lead to fairness and broader justice. The first part of this book regards a holistic analysis of law as a general theory; the second part focuses on history of law and the holistic analysis; the third part focuses on procedural law and practice and the holistic analysis, namely the holistic look at counselling as a lawyer in the United States, a holistic method of a mediator studying conflict in Russia and beyond, a holistic analysis of Chinese procedural law, and the holistic analysis of evidence evaluation in international law. The fourth part includes holistic analysis of law relating to modern issues, such as artificial intelligence, climate change and climate refugees and a chapter on the economic diplomacy of Vietnam as a holistic approach model.

The Business of Transition

The Business of Transition examines how the cosmopolitan bourgeoisie of the Eastern Mediterranean navigated the transition from empire to nation-state in the early twentieth century. In this social and cultural history, Paris Papamichos Chronakis shows how the Jewish and Greek merchants of Salonica (present-day Thessaloniki) skillfully managed the tumultuous shift from Ottoman to Greek rule amidst revolution and war, rising ethnic tensions, and heightened class conflict. Bringing their once powerful voices back into the historical narrative, he traces their entangled trajectories as businessmen, community members, and civic leaders to illustrate how the self-reinvention of a Jewish-led bourg...

Anglo-American Empiricism and the Abhorrence of Essence

Is there really a fundamental difference between a rational, often ontologically loaded research method, that characterizes Continental philosophy, and an Anglo-American research method based on empiricism, that strongly abhors essence and an ontological foundation of reality? How is empiricism, and its abhorrence of essence, interrelated with technoscientific development, scientism and technocracy, politics, economics, utilitarianism and pragmatism, climate change, way of life and an education with an almost allergic aversion to any concept of essence in human life? How and under which presuppositions can philosophy really contribute to the understanding of the essence of happiness and its ...

Responsibility from Principles to Practice

The publication contains a series of seminar papers on the topic of responsibility, an issue which has become a central concern in every European society. The report is organised into three sections. The first section considers definitions of responsibility and the themes of individual and shared responsibility. The discussion covers philosophical concepts, and more practical aspects of its implementation in society. The second part looks at responsibility within the scientific system, and in terms of civic, cultural and political contexts. The third section examines approaches to education which aim to foster democratic citizenship. The notion of responsibility touches upon many issues, including economics, politics, pedagogy, social relations and the family.

Green, Closed Loop, Circular Bio-Economy

  • Publisher: MDPI

In recent years, bioeconomy strategies have been implemented and adapted internationally. In the bioeconomy, materials are to a certain extent circular by nature. However, biomaterials may also be used in a rather linear way. Lately, a transition towards a circular economy, a more restorative and regenerative economic model, is being promoted worldwide. A circular economy offers an alternative model aiming at “doing more and better with less”. It is based on the idea that circulating matter and energy will diminish the need for new input. Its concept lies in maintaining the value of products, materials, and resources for as long as possible and at the same time minimizing or even elimina...

Law, Interpretation and Reality

PATRICKNERHOT Since the two operations overlap each other so much, speaking about fact and interpretation in legal science separately would undoubtedly be highly artificial. To speak about fact in law already brings in the operation we call interpretation. EquaHy, to speak about interpretation is to deal with the method of identifying reality and therefore, in large part, to enter the area of the question of fact. By way of example, Bemard Jackson's text, which we have placed in section 11 of the first part of this volume, could no doubt just as weH have found a horne in section I. This work is aimed at analyzing this interpretation of the operation of identifying fact on the one hand and id...

An Introduction to the Management of Complex Software Projects

This book explores the challenges of managing software projects, such as changing requirements, uncertain technologies, and evolving user needs, provides strategies for addressing these and other emerging issues, and contains a number of eye-opening perspectives from experts in different fields. Instead of relying solely on traditional project management techniques, the book presents a holistic, adaptive, and flexible framework that takes into account the unique challenges of each particular case of software development. It recognizes that software development is a complex and creative process that involves people with diverse skills and personalities, and provides insights into how to motivate and manage teams, how to communicate effectively, how to automate processes, and how to deal with conflict and uncertainty, from computer engineering and mathematical logic, all the way to advanced geophysics and earthquake engineering. It provides a wealth of practical advice and guidance, as well as insights into the latest schools of thought related to software project management.
