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.
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.

There is a distinct difference between how one whose core faith is that Muhammad(Peace be upon him) was the Messenger of Allah and how someone who does not hold this belief, writes about him. This book, however, is not simply an analysis of history. It is a labor of love and reverence while being analytical and objective. It is an attempt by one who not only believes that Muhammad(Peace be upon him) was the best leader that ever existed but who believes in him and his message and wants to share it.The life of Muhammad(Peace be upon him) the Messenger of Allah is rich and full of lessons. It has been so well documented and so much has been written about his life over the centuries that anothe...
Satire and comedy are powerful tools in politics, both to convince and to ridicule. As this original and bleakly humorous book attests, global jihadism is no exception.
