For They Don't Know What They Are Doing

It seems to most people who are inundated with news from the press, television or the internet that the problems in their own country or in the world are getting bigger and bigger and that politics and politicians are getting worse and worse. Politicians are unable to solve the problems at hand, or can only do so poorly. They lack a focus on the common good of all citizens, and their actions frequently constitute the root cause of the issue. Almost everyone is aware that only “bad” news sells well, but they are usually unable to free themselves from this misjudgment. Maybe this book can help people overcome this trap of thought and point out ways to make positive changes in the future. Indeed, by analyzing the social development of Homo Sapiens since the acquisition of the ability to write, this work, aims to demonstrate ways in which our political culture can be improved through a more effective selection of politicians and, in so doing, avoiding potentially catastrophic misappointments.

  • Publisher: Springer

This book provides the first systematic and comparative analysis of the German right-wing populist protest movement “PEGIDA”. It offers an in-depth reconstruction of the movement’s historical development, its organisational structure and its programmatic orientation. It depicts the protestors and their motivations, reactions in politics, media and society, and PEGIDA’s European network. The volume presents and compares the results of scientific surveys among PEGIDA-participants and brings them into the context of long-time studies on political culture in Germany, representing a comprehensive study of the emergence of contemporary right-wing populist movements. The book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students focusing on comparative politics, (right-wing) populism, protest movements in western democracies, and political culture in Germany, as well as journalists, political educators and policy makers.

Europe's Most Wanted Man

For more than a decade Europe's most wanted man, Radovan Karadzic, evaded the combined efforts of western intelligence agencies, NATO peacekeepers and Hague investigators and maverick bounty hunters to track him down. When everybody else seemed to have given the hunt, one journalist doggedly followed his trail, travelling from the snow-capped mountains of Montenegro to the killing the fields of eastern Bosnia to the corridors of power in Belgrade, in search of the man accused of some of the most horrific crimes committed in Europe since the Second World War.

Redefining Sovereignty

  • Categories: Law

With considerable insight and analysis, the editors and contributors to the book--the world's leading ethicists, political scientists and international lawyers--investigate the use of force since the end of the Cold War and, simultaneously, what changes have or should occur with respect to sovereignty and the law in the 21st century. Redefining Sovereignty has resulted from three groundbreaking workshops on international law and the use of force: the first was held in Rome soon after NATO's 1999 intervention in Kosovo; the second took place in Frankfurt after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan; and the third occurred in Columbus, Ohio after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Together, these an...

Die Profiteure des Terrors

Die Rüstungsindustrie freut sich über volle Auftragsbücher Nach al-Qaida heißt der neue Feind nun Islamischer Staat. Doch Luftschläge im Irak und Syrien sowie Waffenlieferungen an strategische Partner wie Saudi-Arabien haben bislang kaum dazu beigetragen, die mörderische Islamistenarmee an den Wurzeln zu bekämpfen. Stattdessen beschert die Aufrüstungswelle in Nahost deutschen Rüstungskonzernen volle Auftragsbücher. Verlierer sind die Freiheitsbewegungen des arabischen Aufstandsjahres 2011: Denn wie der erste "Krieg gegen den Terror" nach 9/11 dient auch der zweite den Regimes der Region als Blankoscheck für den Ausbau ihrer Repressionsapparate.

Německá politika a nasazení Bundeswehru v misi ISAF v Afghánistánu

Zapojení německé armády do mezinárodní mise ISAF v letech 2001–2014 představovalo pro německou politiku a veřejnost zlomovou zkušenost a mělo řadu následků, mj. s ohledem na budoucí nasazování armády v zahraničí. Pavel Dvořák ve své bohatě pramenně podložené práci přesvědčivě ukazuje limity a úskalí role Německa jako příkladné mocnosti, která si je vzhledem ke své velikosti a postavení v Evropě i ve světě a s ohledem na spojenecké vztahy vědoma odpovědnosti za bezpečnost a stabilitu světového uspořádání, jakkoli se do ní dostává spíše pod tlakem vnějších okolností než z vlastní iniciativy.
