Im Zwischenraum der Zeilen möchte ich die schmerzhaft schöne Welt, der tiefsten Gefühle zum Leben erwecken. Wie ein sanfter Schleier werden die Worte dich umhüllen und dich zum gemeinsamen Tanz verführen. Durch jede Zeile fließt die Intensität der Gefühle und die zerbrechliche Anmut, die in den Momenten zwischen Zerrissenheit, Liebe und Verlust liegen. Dieses Werk ist eine Ode an die Sehnsucht, die Melancholie und die Verletzlichkeit des Herzens. Komm mit mir auf die Reise und entdecke mit mir die Schönheit der Unvollkommenheit.
Ganz schnell brach die Zeit der Masken an. So manchen warf sie aus der Bahn, nicht jeder kam heil aus den pandemischen Wirren. Die Gedichte führen in unser Nachbarland Tschechien, ein Besuch in Prag wird abgestattet. Friedenslinien in Nordirland kommen in Sichtweite. Der Leuchtturmwärter steigt die Stufen hinauf. Ungelebtes Leben rückt an uns heran, die Ablagerungen nach versagten Freiheiten. In den Büchern stehen die Namen von Königen, vom Scheitern wird zu wenig geredet. Rote Listen wachsen, welche Vögel kommen noch einmal zurück? Göttinnen unter sich zelebrieren ihre Auren. Weltenschach wird gespielt. Die Kompassnadel der Weißen Rose stellt Fragen: Was muss heute Orientierung sein? Glückstage schneiden sich ein, sanfte Umarmungen, Küsse. Die Spinnenverstecke finden sich nach dem Winter.

This book presents a radically new approach of how societies can bring corruption under control. Since the late 1990s, the detrimental effects of corruption to human well-being have become well established in research. This has resulted in a stark increase in anti-corruption programs launched by international organizations such as the World Bank, the African Union, the EU, as well as many national development organizations. Despite these efforts, evaluations of the effects of these anti-corruption programs have been disappointing. As it can be measured, it is difficult to find substantial effects from such anti-corruption programs. The argument in this book is that this huge policy failure c...
Welfare states around the globe are changing, challenged by the development of knowledge economies. In many countries, policy-makers' main response has been to modernize welfare states by focusing on future-oriented social investment policies that focus on creating, mobilizing, and preserving human skills and capabilities. Yet, there is massive variance in the development of social investment strategies. The World Politics of Social Investment: Welfare States in the 21st Century is the first of two volumes of the World Politics of Social Investment (WOPSI) project, which systematically maps and explains different welfare reform strategies in democratic countries around the world. This volume...
This book explores the different perspectives and historical moments of nationalism in Cyprus. It does this by looking at nationalism as a form of identity, as a form of ideology, and as a form of politics. The fifteen contributors to this book are scholars of different scientific backgrounds and present Cypriot nationalisms from an interdisciplinary framework, including approaches such as history, political science, psychology, and gender studies. The chapters take a historical approach to nationalism and argue that the world of nations, ethnic identity, and national ideology are neither eternal, nor ahistorical nor primordial, but are rather socially constructed and function within particular historical and social contexts. As a land that was, and still is, marked by opposed nationalisms – that is, Greek and Turkish – Cyprus constitutes a fertile ground for examining the history, the dynamics, and the dialectics of nationalism.
