Regional Governance in EU-Staaten
Namhafte Autoren aus zahlreichen Staaten Europas betrachten regionale Politikgestaltung auf der Basis struktureller Faktoren, die über die klassischen Regierungsinstitutionen hinausgehen. Die Entgrenzung des Regierens in postmodernen politischen Systemen wie der Europäischen Union hat eine theoretische Neukonzeptualisierung politikwissenschaftlicher Forschung im Bereich comparative politics bewirkt. Das Governance-Konzept ist eine Ausprägung dieses Prozesses. Gerade in internationalen Arenen fi det es seit jeher Anwendung, mittlerweile aber auch im nationalstaatlichen und im regionalen Kontext. Die asymmetrische Struktur substaatlicher Institutionalisierung in EU-Staaten stellt hohe Anspr...

Well-being, Personal Wholeness and the Social Fabric
Well-being is a familiar term in academic literature and public discourse. It captures the imagination by addressing issues related to the social good and the quest for personal happiness. It embraces a wide variety of concerns: age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, self-esteem, health, class, education, institution and ecosystems, among many issues. Well-being studies focus on the welfare of the world and its inhabitants, bringing holistic and transformative perspectives to bear. The Christian faith has been a powerful contributor to this tradition over the centuries. Human beings, made in the image of God, are called to live transformed lives through the Spirit of Christ in communities of grace and reconciliation for the benefit of others, caring for our planet in the expectation of God’s new creation. What difference does the study of well-being from a Christian perspective make?
Terroristas, Pistoleros, Atracadores
Warum durchlebte Barcelona zwischen 1918 und 1936 eine derart gewaltsame Epoche? Dieser Band untersucht die kollektive Gewalt in der katalanischen Metropole jener Zeit. Der Autor analysiert die Gewalt der Stadt in mehreren Schritten: Zunächst zeigt er, wie die Topographie Barcelonas die kollektiven Gewaltakte prägte.

The Party Politics of Territorial Reforms in Europe
The book analyses how political parties compete and strategise on the issue of territorial reform using case-studies that include countries from both Western (Belgium, Germany, Italy and Spain) and Central-Eastern Europe (Poland, Slovakia and Romania). Each case-study considers different drivers of decentralization, such as territorial identities and the demands of regionalist parties for territorial autonomy or independence, efficiency concerns related to issues of uneven economic development and economic competitiveness, the pressure from supra-national organizations (especially the EU), as well as different combinations of these drivers. They also consider how the ideology and organisation of state-wide parties and the institutional context in which they compete shape their responses to these drivers and their strategy towards the question of territorial reform. This collection investigates the logic of the actions that guide political parties’ strategy to highlight trends that are apparent across the case-studies. This book was originally published as a special issue of West European Politics.

Regulating Difference
2021 ISSR Best Book Award (International Society for the Sociology of Religion) Transnational migration has contributed to the rise of religious diversity and has led to profound changes in the religious make-up of society across the Western world. As a result, societies and nation-states have faced the challenge of crafting ways to bring new religious communities into existing institutions and the legal frameworks. Regulating Difference explores how the state regulates religious diversity and examines the processes whereby religious diversity and expression becomes part of administrative landscapes of nation-states and people’s everyday lives. Arguing that concepts of nationhood are key to understanding the governance of religious diversity, Regulating Difference employs a transatlantic comparison of the Spanish region of Catalonia and the Canadian province of Quebec to show how processes of nation-building, religious heritage-making and the mobilization of divergent interpretations of secularism are co-implicated in shaping religious diversity. It argues that religious diversity has become central for governing national and urban spaces.
