This book analyses and develops overarching concepts for forest policy and forest governance and includes a detailed investigation into the historical discussion on forests. It examines opportunities and limits for negative emissions in a sector that – like peatlands – appears significantly less ambivalent compared to highly technical large-scale forms of climate geoengineering. The analysis shows that the binding climate and biodiversity targets under international law are much more ambitious than most people assume. Measured against that, the volume critically reviews the potentials of afforestation and reforestation for climate mitigation, which is often presented as the new saviour t...

At the book launch of his father's biography, the stilted footage of Holocaust survivors is projected behind Benjamin Hoefer. As the video comes to an end, it closes in on Eli Hoefer's gaunt face, four red words scratched across the last frame: Nazi. Jew hater. Fake. FBI Special Agent Mitchell Parker is frustrated to be called in on what he believes is a police matter, but digging deeper, a much more far-reaching threat is revealed. Soon, Parker and his team find themselves in the middle of a Neo-Nazi plot that spans continents... and threatens to bring one of the worst atrocities in history back to life.
This book examines Max Weber's understanding of bureaucracy by applying his ideas to the development of officialdom from the ninth century to the present in six territories: England, Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, and Hungary. Edward Page takes a broad view of bureaucracy that includes not only officials in important central or national institutions but also those providing goods and services locally. The 'scorecard' is based on expected developments in four key areas of Weber's analysis: the functional differentiation of tasks within government, professionalism, formalism, and monocracy. After discussing the character of officialdom in the ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, eighteenth, and twenty-first centuries, the book reveals that Weber's scorecard has a mixed record, especially weak in its account of the development of monocracy and formalism. A final chapter discusses alternative conceptions of bureaucratic development and sets out an account based on understanding processes of routinization, institutional integration, and the instrumentalization of law.

Wald ist ein eigentümliches Eigentum: als ein „Symbol des unendlichen Raumes“ sowie als Projektionsfläche emotionaler Bedürfnisse der Menschen bestimmt es gerade in Deutschland untergründig die politischen Debatten um die je notwendige rechtliche Ausgestaltung des Waldeigentums in Ansehung seiner vielfältigen Funktionen. Zudem prägen die kulturellen und historischen, wirtschaftlichen und rechtlichen sowie ökologischen und politischen Implikationen ebenso wie die Interessen der Waldbesitzer das Spannungsfeld von privaten Eigentumsbefugnissen und legitimen Allgemeinwohlbedürfnissen in spezifischer Weise. Vor diesem Hintergrund vereinigt der Sammelband Beiträge zu den vielfältigen Dimensionen des Waldeigentums und versteht sich als eine breit angelegte wissenschaftliche Selbstvergewisserung der gesellschaftlichen Funktion des Waldes in Deutschland.
