The Greek Paradox
As a bridge between the East and West, a pole of stability in the Balkans, and a Mediterranean crossroads, Greece could play a significant role in the post-Cold War world. But Greece's performance in domestic and international policy falls short of this promise. The essays in The Greek Paradox look at some of the reasons for this gap and suggest possible political and economic reforms.The contributors, both scholars and policymakers, examine a range of contemporary issues in the Balkans and on NATO's southern flank. The essays shed light on nation building, political and economic development, modernization, and post-Cold War international relations. Contributors Graham T.

Opera Viva
It started with a festival - three classic operas performed in a theatre in Toronto.

The Company has toured extensively throughout Canada and the United States, and has delighted audiences as far away as Australia and Hong Kong, all the while finding the time to record frequently and develop special operatic presentations for children. More than just a group of performers, the COC also prov...
tabula rasa
Die Societe des observateurs de l'homme, die Gesellschaft der Menschenbeobachter, wurde im Jahr 1799 mit dem Ziel gegrundet, eine "vergleichende Anthropologie" zu etablieren. Sie wollte die spekulativen Ansatze der Erforschung des Menschen aus dem 18. Jahrhundert durch eine empirische Wissensform ersetzen. Diese sollte im napoleonischen Frankreich dazu beitragen, eine sichere, dauerhafte und wissenschaftliche Basis fur die Regierbarkeit der Menschen zu schaffen.
