This latest volume has two novelties: for the first time, it is published in English, and it is edited by the ASPR in cooperation with the partner institutions of the recently formed Conflict Peace and Democracy Cluster (CPDC) - the Center for Peace Research and Peace Education at the Alps-Adriatic University of Klagenfurt/Celovec, the Institute of Conflict Research Vienna, and the Democracy Center Vienna. (Series: Dialog: Contributions to Peace Research -- Vol. 65)
Economy and Architecture
Economy and Architecture addresses a timely, critical, and much-debated topic in both its historical and contemporary dimensions. From the Apple Store in New York City, to the street markets of the Pan American Highway; from commercial Dubai to the public schools of Australia, this book takes a critical look at contemporary architecture from across the globe, whilst extending its range back in history as far as the Homeric epics of ancient Greece. The book addresses the challenges of practicing architecture within the strictures of contemporary economies, grounded on the fundamental definition of ‘economy’ as the well managed household – derived from the Greek oikonomia – oikos (hous...
A Reader in Themed and Immersive Spaces
"Themed spaces have, at their foundation, an overarching narrative, symbolic complex, or story that drives the overall context of their spaces. Theming, in some very unique ways, has expanded beyond previous stereotypes and oversimplifications of culture and place to now consider new and often controversial topics, themes, and storylines."--Publisher's website.
The Themed Space
The Themed Space: Locating Culture, Nation and Self is the first edited collection focused on the subject of the themed space. Twelve authors address a range of themed spaces, including restaurants, casinos, theme parks and other spaces like airports and virtual reality ones. The text is organized into four sections-theming as authenticity, theming as nation, theming as person and theming as mind.

Aktuelle Probleme der Finanzsoziologie
Rudolf Goldscheid (1870 - 1931) gilt als Wegbereiter der Finanzsoziologie. Die Beiträge zu diesem Band zeigen, dass sich Höhe und Struktur der Staatsausgaben nicht nur an funktionalen Überlegungen orientieren, sondern auch von der Stärke gesellschaftlicher Interessensgruppen abhängen; dass die BürgerInnen nur ein bruchstückhaftes Wissen über die Steuern haben; dass der Umfang der internationalen Steuerflucht noch immer massiv ist; dass sich die Frage erhebt, ob die Währungsunion zu einer europäischen Solidargemeinschaft führt oder ob sich eine neue Kluft auftut zwischen Gläubiger- und Schuldnerländern.
