Overview: Moderne Einführung zum Regieren in der BRDWie haben sich die Grundlagen der Regierungsorganisation und die Bedingungen politischer Führung durch Kanzler und Bundesregierung in Deutschland seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges verändert? Welchen Unterschied machen Führungsstile und -strategien von Amtsinhabern in einen so komplex verflochtenen System wie der Bundesrepublik? Und wodurch zeichnet sich das hierzulande etablierte Modell politischer Führung im internationalen Vergleich aus? Diese und weitere Fragen leiten die historisch breit angelegte Studie, die sich als politikwissensch

Overview: The role of residential care in welfare provision has been debated for many years.

Overview: Creation and Effectiveness of Environmental RegimesIn the context of massive environmental problems in Southeast Asia, the countries in the region have decided – at least in some instances – to create regimes to solve these problems jointly. This empirical observation is surprising, given the Southeast Asian countries’ general reluctance to regional cooperation, the governance and budgetary constraints that are typical for developing countries and the huge heterogeneity of the involved countries in terms of environmental vulnerability, economic capacity and hegemonic power. This book

Overview: Brings together three separate academic fields: feminist theology, Girardian scholarship, and soteriology.Re-claims the language of sacrifice in such a way that is liberative for marginalized groups.O.Many Christians profess that Jesus died as a sacrifice for sins. The Catholic Mass is even understood as a “sacrifice.” Some take issue with this language, for it seems to put forward an idea of God that is implicated in vengeance and violence. Why would God accept the murder of an innocent man as a sacrifice for sin? As important as this question is, there is a more fundamental questio

Overview: This is an edited volume that examines the US-Japan security alliance, the key to US-Japanese relations since the end of US occupation in the 50s. The alliance has long been a source of both co-operation and stress between the two nations, but with rapid changes in Asia, it has grown more problematic. This book brings American and Japanese specialists together to examine the alliance within the wider regional environment and to determine whether and how the bilateral alliance can evolve and remain at the core of the region‘s security order.978-1-349-52733-5978-1-4039-8019-9
