Trügerische Ruhe
Im Visier des Terrors Paris, Berlin und Barcelona sind nur einige europäische Städte, die in den vergangenen Jahren von Terroranschlägen erschüttert wurden. Schlussendlich blieb auch Wien nicht verschont: 2. November 2020 – ein lauer Abend, fröhliche Gesichter, Feierlaune. Bis die ersten Schüsse fallen. Warum kommt es immer wieder zu terroristischen Anschlägen? Wer sind die Attentäter und was sind ihre Beweggründe? Wie lassen sich weitere Terrorakte verhindern? Diese und andere komplexe Fragen beantwortet einer der führenden österreichischen Terrorismusforscher: Nicolas Stockhammer erklärt am Beispiel des Wiener Attentats die Hintergründe islamistischer Terrorakte, wie Radikalisierung abläuft, wer potenziell zum Täter wird, wie Überwachung und Prävention seitens der Behörden funktionieren und zeigt wiedererkennbare Muster auf – ein profunder Überblick über die aktuelle terroristische Bedrohungslage in Europa und Österreich. "Jeder, dem die Sicherheit Österreichs am Herzen liegt, sollte dieses Buch lesen." Peter R. Neumann Professor für Sicherheitsstudien King's College, London
Machiavellian Encounters in Tudor and Stuart England
Taking into consideration the political and literary issues hanging upon the circulation of Machiavelli's works in England, this volume highlights how topics and ideas stemming from Machiavelli's books - including but not limited to the Prince - strongly influenced the contemporary political debate. The first section discusses early reactions to Machiavelli's works, focusing on authors such as Reginald Pole and William Thomas, depicting their complex interaction with Machiavelli. In section two, different features of Machiavelli's reading in Tudor literary and political culture are discussed, moving well beyond the traditional image of the tyrant or of the evil Machiavel. Machiavelli's histo...

Models of Religious Freedom
In this thesis, the US, Swiss, and Syrian models of religious freedom are illustrated in legal settings. The Analytical Representation comprises more than statements of positive law or mechanical comparison. Each chapter is introduced by thought-forms predominant in the respective legal culture. The objective of the Methodological Representation is to investigate the logic and legitimate pattern by which the US and Swiss judiciary come to the conclusion that an alleged interference is covered under the right to religious freedom. The last dimension, which is the Eclectic Representation, pursues a dual aim. Firstly, the idea is to develop an actual guideline of religious freedom rules, and secondly, to evaluate how much religious freedom is internalized in the US, Swiss, and Syrian legal systems.
