Income stabilisation in European agriculture
International trade agreements and reforms of the European Common Agricultural Policy increase the importance of agricultural risk management as a means to stabilise farm incomes. 'Income stabilisation in European agriculture' addresses farm income and risk management issues from various perspectives. A cohesive work is brought together on historic income data, quantitative analyses of future policy scenarios, actual farmers' perceptions and an updated view on various risk management instruments. In-depth analyses focus on Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain. Overall findings are synthesised in policy recommendations for agricultural risk management in European agriculture. For academia, this publication brings together an interesting variety of quantitative and qualitative methods to understand and interpret risk management concepts in agriculture. For public and private stakeholders analyses and reflections can be used in debating the domain of policy reforms, risk exposure and risk management in European agriculture.

The "Katrina Effect"
On August 29th 2005, the headwaters of Hurricane Katrina's storm-surge arrived at New Orleans, the levees broke and the city was inundated. Perhaps no other disaster of the 21st century has so captured the global media's attention and featured in the 'imagination of disaster' like Katrina. The Katrina Effect charts the important ethical territory that underscores thinking about disaster and the built environment globally. Given the unfolding of recent events, disasters are acquiring original and complex meanings. This is partly because of the global expansion and technological interaction of urban societies in which the multiple and varied impacts of disasters are recognized. These meanings ...
Internationalisierung des Rechts und seine ökonomische Analyse Internationalization of the Law and its Economic Analysis
Am 25. Mai 2008 vollendet Hans-Bernd Schäfer sein 65. Lebensjahr. Damit endet nach 32 Jahren seine aktive Zeit an der Universität Hamburg. In diesen 32 Jahren hat Hans-Bernd Schäfer in einer beispiellosen Kraftanstrengung die Entwicklung der „ökonomischen Analyse des Rechts“ – einer Forschungsrichtung, die sich Anfang der siebziger Jahre in den USA e- wickelt hat – in Europa vorangetrieben und in den Köpfen einer zunehmenden Anzahl von Juristen und Ökonomen verankert. In dem 1986 zusammen mit Claus Ott in erster Auflage verfassten „Lehrbuch der ö- nomischen Analyse des Zivilrechts“ wird der Ansatz der ökonomischen Analyse des Rechts, der ursprünglich anhand des angelsäc...
SPIRITUALITAS BENCANA
Indonesia adalah sebuah bentangan geografis yang sangat rentan terhadap berbagai ancaman bencana alam, diantaranya adalah bencana karena faktor geografis-klimatologis, geologis-vulkanis maupun sosio-demografis. Ada banyak alasan bagi warga masyarakat untuk tetap memilih bertempat tinggal di daerah rawan bencana, namun konsep spiritualitas dalam konteks sosiologis dan psikologis belum banyak dijadikan argumen konseptual untuk menjelaskan pilihan hidup masyarakat rawan bencana tersebut. Buku ini hadir sebagai upaya memperkaya perspekif tata kelola bencana yang berperspektif penyintas, dengan berfokus pada fenomena sistem keyakinan yang mempengaruhi pengetahuan lokal pada komunitas masyarakat yang bertempat tinggal di dekat ancaman bencana alam. Buku ini berusaha memberikan alternatif baru dalam mendorong, memfasilitasi dan mereformulasi model tata kelola risiko bencana berperspektif penyintas, khususnya pada tingkat daerah, agar dapat lebih mengedepankan aspek kesejahteraan penyintas yang bersumber pada praktik pengetahuan lokal masyarakat setempat.
