Power, Alliances, and Redistribution
Lateinamerika gilt als der ungleichste Kontinent der Welt. Paradoxerweise hat die Entwicklung ressourcenintensiver Sozialsysteme wenig dazu beigetragen, das soziale Ungleichgewicht zu verändern. Der Autor zeichnet dieses Paradox am Beispiel Argentiniens nach, deckt die zugrundeliegenden Macht- und Interessenskonflikte auf und stellt erfolgreiche Strategien zur Umsetzung einer integrativen Politik vor. Als erste Studie dieser Art untersucht sie systematisch die langfristige Entwicklung der sozialen Absicherung von Geringverdienern in Argentinien und analysiert die entscheidenden politischen, sozialen und ökonomischen Einflussfaktoren.
Decolonizing the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South
This book reconceives the internationalization of higher education from the perspective of Global-South researchers, empowering and giving visibility to this discourse. Challenging the first assumptions of internationalization of higher education (IHE) as something overwhelmingly positive owing to the way it directly impacts the university activities and their world rankings, it instead takes a critical perspective, acknowledging that this process is associated with a neo-liberal and colonial orientation that focuses on the maintenance of historically sustained hierarchy, oppressive relations that stimulate the production of knowledge, and education as a commodity and not as a factor of soci...
The Restless Anthropologist
What does a move from a village in the West African rain forest to a West African community in a European city entail? What about a shift from a Greek sheep-herding community to working with evictees and housing activists in Rome and Bangkok? In The Restless Anthropologist, Alma Gottlieb brings together eight eminent scholars to recount the riveting personal and intellectual dynamics of uprooting one’s life—and decades of work—to embrace a new fieldsite. Addressing questions of life-course, research methods, institutional support, professional networks, ethnographic models, and disciplinary paradigm shifts, the contributing writers of The Restless Anthropologist discuss the ways their earlier and later projects compare on both scholarly and personal levels, describing the circumstances of their choices and the motivations that have emboldened them to proceed, to become novices all over again. In doing so, they question some of the central expectations of their discipline, reimagining the space of the anthropological fieldsite at the heart of their scholarly lives.
Politische Führung im Spiegel regionaler politischer Kultur
Im vorliegenden Sammelband werden Formen und Merkmale der politischen Führung in drei unterschiedlichen Regionen analysiert. Der erste Teil bringt konzeptuelle Überlegungen zusammen, die die nationale sowie transnationale Ebene betrachten. Im zweiten Teil rückt Iberoamerika jenseits des Populismus in den Mittelpunkt. Im dritten Teil wird am Beispiel der Bundesrepublik Deutschland die politische Führung im Parlamentarismus und Föderalismus thematisiert. An den Beispielen Singapur, Indien und Russland eröffnet sich im vierten Teil die Diskussion über Demokratie- und Regierungsformen, die im Gegensatz zu westlichen Weltanschauungen stehen.

Der vorliegende vierte Band der Reihe "Systemwechsel" setzt die Systematik der ersten drei Bände fort, mit der die Herausgeber versuchen wollen, Pro bleme der Systemtransformation im interregionalen Vergleich auf unter schiedlichen Ebenen zu analysieren: Nach Fragen des allgemeinen theoreti schen Standes politikwissenschaftlicher Transformationstheorie im Band 1 und der Beschäftigung mit Problemen der Herausbildung von konsolidierungsfähi gen Institutionen im Band 2, wurde im dritten Band die Rolle von Parteien im Transformations-und Konsolidierungsprozeß junger Demokratien der dritten Welle untersucht. An die Überlegungen dieses dritten Bandes knüpft der vor liegende Band 4 unmittelba...

Narratives of Dictatorship in the Age of Revolution
Between the mid-eighteenth and the mid-nineteenth century, the idea of dictatorship changed drastically, leaving back the ancient Roman paradigm and opening the way to a rule with extraordinary powers and which was unlimited in time. While the French Revolution produced an acceleration of history and created new narratives of dictatorship, with Napoleon Bonaparte as its most iconic embodiment, the Latin American struggle for independence witnessed an unprecedented concentration of rulers seeking those new nations’ sovereignty through dictatorial rule. Starting from the assumption that the age of revolution was one of dictators too, this book aims at exploring how this new type of rulers wh...
