Balancing Religion and Finance. Did Islamic Finance overcome possible difficulties that the Islamic law posed on conventional finance?
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - History, grade: 1,3, University of Mannheim (Fakultät der Rechtswissenschaften und VWL), language: English, abstract: Since the mid-1970s, an industry growing at considerable pace in the Islamic world is gaining market shares all over the world in countries with sufficient Muslim populations. This “Islamic Finance” industry claims to act in line with the ethical and practical principles set forth in the Qu'ran and the Shari'ah, thus appealing to Muslim and non-Muslim clients alike who search for viable alternatives to conventional financial products. As explained, the first beginnings of this phenomenon can be traced well bac...
Die Islamische Kultur auf Sizilien. Wie 'muslimisch' war Sizilien unter Arabern und Normannen?
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Mittelalter, Frühe Neuzeit, Note: 1,0, Universität Mannheim (Historisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Sizilien im Mittelalter, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die muslimische Ära Siziliens und das islamische Erbe der Insel, das sich noch heute in Form von Ortsnamen und Dialekten zeigt, ist weitgehend aus dem kollektiven Gedächtnis der Einwohner mediterraner Staaten und selbst vieler Sizilianer verschwunden. Dies liegt nicht zuletzt daran, dass die – bis auf ein paar Ausnahmen – spärlich betriebene Forschung bisher nicht zu einem Konsens gekommen ist, wo die Kultur Siziliens unter Arabern und Normannen einzuord...
Plato's Kallipolis. Why a good city needs philosophers as rulers
Essay aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie der Antike, Note: 1,3, University of Windsor (Faculty of Philosophy), Veranstaltung: Introduction to Western Philosophy, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In his work “Republic”, the ancient Athenian philosopher Plato, scholar of the famous Socrates, develops his view of what a 'good' city and a 'good' individual should look like. Beginning with the question “What is justice?” in the books 1-4, he soon turns to the question about how a good city is organized and – related to that – by whom it should be ruled. Plato's main messages of the books 5-7 are that (1) there is a fundamental difference between what we see (appearance) and what things are (reality), as well as that (2) there cannot be knowledge about appearances, but only about reality. Furthermore, Plato claims that normal people can not know the reality. Only true and genuine philosophers could truly know what is real. Therefore they should be the rulers of the ideal city (Kallipolis). This essay retraces Plato's argumentation and includes an explaining illustration of the famous "Allegory of the cave", which Plato uses to make his case.
Maoismus und Sowjetkommunismus in der westdeutschen Linken
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Moderne Geschichte, Note: 1,0, Universität Mannheim (Historisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Deutschland und China zwischen 1949 und 1989, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nachdem die wichtigsten Unterschiede zwischen "wissenschaftlichem Kommunismus" und Maoismus aus neutraler Sicht – der des westdeutschen Politologen und Marxismusforschers Wolfgang Leonhard – geklärt sind, soll ein Blick auf die Natur des spezifisch westdeutschen Dialogs zwischen Sowjet-Kommunisten und Maoisten geworfen werden. Dabei sollen die Fragen geklärt werden, warum und wie weit sich die K-Gruppen vom Modell der Sowjet-Union entfernten und o...
The Common-Ownership Self-Assessed Tax and the current state of Harberger taxation
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1.0, University of Mannheim (Department of Economics), course: New Approaches to Economic and Public Policy, language: English, abstract: This paper aims at providing a concise description of the current state of the discussion around the mechanism of Harberger taxation, and Posner & Weyl’s proposal to universally implement it. In a second part, some thoughts on the consequences of a particularly relevant concern are explored: the failure of agents to assess the value of their property. This might lead to the Harberger tax placing potentially rather different effective tax rates on asset owner...
Der Beginn des sogenannten "Römischen Imperialismus". Wie veränderte sich die römische Außenpolitik zwischen den Makedonischen Kriegen?
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,0, Universität Mannheim (Historisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Die Institutionen der Römischen Republik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem "römischen Imperialismus" am Beispiel des zweiten makedonischen Krieges und der Unterwerfung Griechenlands durch den römischen Senat. Die römische Außenpolitik des 2. Jahrhunderts v.Chr. zählt mitunter zu den spannendsten Feldern der römischen Geschichte. In diesen Zeitraum fallen die drei Makedonischen Kriege, einige mehr oder minder intensive Konflikte zwischen Römern und Seleukiden sowie die Zerstörung Korinths und Karthagos im Jahre 146 v.Chr. Für die außenpolitische Konzeption Roms in dieser Zeit hat sich inzwischen der Begriff des römischen Imperialismus etabliert. Aber wie in (fast) jeder Arbeit zu diesem Thema nachzulesen, muss man sich hier sinngemäß von dem Begriff des Imperialismus, wie wir ihn für das 19. Jahrhundert anwenden, distanzieren – der römische Imperialismus ist anderer Natur.
Fiscal Rules, Bailouts, and Reputation in Federal Governments
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1.0, University of Mannheim (Department of Economics), course: Topics on Monetary Union, language: English, abstract: The question of why regions, that cooperate in a federal union, overborrow—meaning that they issue more debt than would be beneficial from a point-of-view of intertemporal efficiency—is of utmost relevance in many contexts. Traditionally, the role of fiscal rules (i.e. caps on debt issuance levels with punishment payments upon violation) has been emphasized in overcoming the root of the problem: that central authorities in federal unions cannot commit to not use their funds to bail out overindebted ...
The concepts of human freedom and radical questioning in the works of Plato, René Descartes, and Albert Camus
Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Philosophy - General Essays, Eras, grade: 1,3, , course: Introduction to western Philosophy, language: English, abstract: The human freedom and the human capability to reflect about the circumstances of our existence are phenomenons that have puzzled philosophers, anthropologists and other scientists alike, since we can think. Over the course of history, especially the art of philosophy has seen many great thinkers reflecting on the nature of human freedom: Three of them – Plato, René Descartes, and Albert Camus – are the material on which this paper will retrace the development of the interpretation of human freedom. In doing so, it is very impor...
The Origins of Violent Islamism. Can the “political Islam” be seen as a cause for violent religious extremism in the Middle East?
Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 1,0, University of Windsor (Faculty of History), course: Introduction to the Arab culture, language: English, abstract: Violent religious extremism is to be found nearly everywhere in human history. Yet, it seems today, as if the Arab world – and most lately Syria – would be the 'hub' of religiously motivated terrorist activities. But where do these movements come from? What are their roots? The key assumption of this paper is, that the origin of religious extremism (but not necessarily religious extremism itself) is to seek in the rise of political Islam in the middle of the 20th century. Therefore, the central question to answering the questions above is: How could a constructive force, like the political Islam, lay the foundations for such a destructive force as is Islamist terrorism?
Novejši urbarji za Slovenijo 2
Gospostvo Bela Peč, ki je z izjemo Dovjega in Koroške Bele obsegalo območje Zgornjesavske doline, se je kot samostojna gospodarska in upravna enota izoblikovalo šele sredi 15. stoletja. Življenje v gospostvu sta zaznamovali zlasti visokogorski alpski svet ter s tem povezane specifične klimatske razmere ter bogata nahajališča železove rude. V monografiji sta objavljena najstarejša urbarja gospostva iz 1498 in 1636. Objavljena vira ponujata odlično gospodarsko, demografsko in družbeno sliko gospostva, kjer se intenzivno prepletata agrarna in neagrarna produkcija. Kot tako predstavlja zanimivo izhodišče za morebitne nadaljnje primerjalne študije ne samo za prostor današnje Slovenije ampak tudi za širši vzhodnoalpski prostor ter Furlanijo. Izdajo spremlja obsežna spremna študija.
