Space is a matter of strategic importance and in need of concerted action by the European space actors. Distinct approaches to public procurement must not hamper the cooperation between the European Space Agency, the European Union and their respective Member States. The study provides a toolbox for space procurement that addresses specificities of this sector. Each tool is assessed in light of policy objectives, market conditions and the legal frameworks of the European Union and the European Space Agency. A discussion on selected means of policy implementation other than procurement, so-called Extra-Procurement Instruments, complements this toolbox. The Third Way in European space procurement caters for both coherence and flexibility needs and is intended to serve policy-makers as they finally make "Europe in Space" a reality.
In Segregation of Roma Children in Education, Sina Van den Bogaert examines, from the perspective of public international law, how the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (Council of Europe) and the Racial Equality Directive 2000/43/EC (European Union) have contributed towards desegregation of Roma children in education in Europe.
The volume provides analyses and evaluations of the continuing importance of Europe’s autonomy in its access to space as a key driver in the development of European space capabilities. From a detailed historical analysis of some of the pitfalls of dependence in the space industry, experts analyse the full range of current European space capabilities and identify areas where autonomy is both possible and required, even in a situation of severe budgetary constraints. The contributions present a comprehensive overview of European efforts in a broad range of areas including energy, culture, science, and security; access to space, space applications, human spaceflight, security and space situational awareness, and strategic issues. They make a cogent strategic and economic case for policy makers to continue to bear in mind the importance of autonomous space capabilities, even in an interdependent globalised world.
Ausgehend vom Phänomen des Sprechens als einer «verorteten» Praxis, beleuchtet die Arbeit den komplexen, keineswegs selbstverständlichen Zusammenhang zwischen Sprache und geographischem Raum. Als assoziative Verknüpfung von «Sprechen und Ort» sowie von «Sprache(n) und Gebiet(en)» behandelt der Autor das Thema auf der Basis ihrer mentalen Konzeptualisierung unter systematischer Berücksichtigung kognitiver, ethologischer und (sozial-)geographischer Ansätze. Im Zentrum der Arbeit steht der eigens geprägte Begriff der «sprachlichen Territorialität», der das gebietsbezogene Verhalten von Individuen, Sprechergemeinschaften und deren Institutionen umfasst. Empirisch wird dessen Nutze...
