Constructing Global Challenges in World Politics
This interdisciplinary book investigates the problematization of global challenges in world politics by analyzing what they are and how they come to be. Offering a conceptual framework, including four modes of construction—universalizing, bundling, upscaling, and creating urgency—this book provides a heuristic method for understanding how the process of rendering an issue a “global challenge” unfolds. It examines the role of the global challenges discourse, which may either reinforce or challenge the dominant orders of world politics, such as the capitalist market-based system and the liberal international order. As a consequence, the global challenges discourse facilitates the emergence of new actors and policy fields. The book will be of interest to students, academics, and practitioners of global governance, international organizations, and, more broadly, international political economy and international relations.

Leistungsvergleiche und evaluative Praktiken
In der Soziologie des Bewertens spielt Sport bislang kaum eine Rolle. Das überrascht, denn der Sport erweist sich mit seinen Zähl- und Messverfahren schon auf den ersten Blick als bewertungsaffin. Aber auch auf den zweiten Blick offenbart sich ein zentraler Berührungspunkt beider Bereiche: Ohne den Einsatz von digital gestützten Leistungsanalysen sind sportliche »Topleistungen« nicht erreichbar. Die Beiträger*innen geben einen Einblick in die Semantik der Leistungsgesellschaft und zeigen, dass der Sport als instruktiver Fall für die Bewertungssoziologie gelten kann.

Islamic Fundamentalism in the West Bank and Gaza
As the Palestinian Liberation Organization engages in negotiations with Israel toward an interim period of limited Palestinian self-rule, this timely book provides an insider's view of how the growing hold of Islamic fundamentalism in the West Bank and Gaza challenges the peace process.
