Overview: Offers a critical and political examination of security that bridges the elusive gaps between theory and practice.Composed of original essays by a cosmopolitan mix of leading figures inside and outsidThis edited volume helps bridge the elusive gap between theory and practice in dealing with the issue of "security" broadly conceived. A quarter of a century has passed since the crumbling of the Berlin Wall. Yet our notions of security remain mired in Cold War thinking whose realist ethos is predicated on holding the nation state‘s power, interests, and survival as the guiding unit of a

Overview: Alles menschliche Zusammenleben wird direkt oder indirekt durch Recht geprägt. Ähnlich wie Wissen ist Recht ein nicht wegzudenkender, alles durchdringender gesellschaftlicher Tatbestand. Kein Lebensbereich - weder die Familie noch die Religionsgemeinschaft, weder die wissenschaftliche Forschung noch die innerparteiliche Pflege politischer Einflußlinien - findet ohne Recht zu einer dauerhaften sozialen Ordnung. Immer steht soziales Zusammenleben schon unter normativen Regeln, die andere Möglichkeiten ausschließen und mit ausreichendem Erfolg verbindlich zu sein beanspru­ chen. Dabei m

Overview: One of the liveliest areas of research in the social sciences is reading. Scholarly activity is currently proceeding along a number of different disciplinary lines, addressing a multitude of questions and issues about reading. A short list of disciplines involved in the study of reading would include linguistics, psychology, education, history, and gerontology. Among the important questions being ad­ dressed are some long-standing concerns: How are reading skills acquired? What are the basic components of reading skill? How do skilled readers differ from less skilled ones? What are t

Overview: Perspektiven der HumangeographieDie AutorInnen aus der Humangeographie und Soziologie leisten einen Beitrag zur raumbezogenen qualitativen Sozialforschung, indem sie in kritischer Reflexion auf den spatial turn die soziale Welt erforschen und interpretieren. Einer schlagwortartig vorgebrachten Renaissance des Raumes in den Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften werden konkrete qualitativ-empirische und theoretisch-konzeptionelle Arbeiten gegenübergestellt, die einen eigenständigen, raumreflektierten Zugang zur Thematik bieten. Die AutorInnen verfolgen zwei Ziele: Zum einen geht es um die Ü

Overview: Erste übergreifende Untersuchung zur Reformpolitik in der OECD-WeltIn diesem Buch wird ein vergleichender Blick auf Reformen der Renten- und Arbeitslosenversicherungen in 18 OECD-Ländern von 1980 bis 2002 geworfen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Identifikation von generellen Reformmustern und -prozessen. Damit ist diese Arbeit der erste quantitative Versuch, Veränderungen in Form einzelner Reformschritte länderübergreifend zu kodieren und quantitativ zu untersuchen. Bei der Erklärung der Reformmuster wird das Akteurshandeln in unterschiedlichen Kontexten untersucht. Dadurch werden die

Overview: . The book introduces the topic of geochemical modeling of fluids in subsurface and hydrothermal systems.  The intention is to serve as a textbook for graduate students in aqueous, environmental and groundwater geochemistry, despite the fact that its focus is on the special topic of geochemistry in hydrothermal systems, it also provides new insights for experienced researchers with respect to the topic of  reactive transport. The overall purpose is to give the reader an understanding of the processes that control the chemical composition of waters in hydrothermal systems and to highl

Overview: As is known, classical theories of vibration of the most fre­ quently encountered structural elements (e. g. , beams, plates and shells) disregard the effects of the shear deformation and rotary inertia. Refined theories, with these effects taken into account, have been pioneered by Bresse, Lord Rayleigh, Timoshenko, Eric Reissner, Mindlin and others. These refined theories have been fruitfully applied in recent decades in both theoretical and prac­ tical solid mechanics problems. The European Mechanics Committee approved holding EURO~illCH Colloquium 219 on "Refined Dynamical Theori

Overview: Für eine fundierte Anlageentscheidung ist die Messung und Beurteilung der erzielten Ergebnisse unabdingbar. Die Dimensionen Rendite und Risiko sind daher immer gemeinsam zu betrachten, um Fehlallokationen zu vermeiden. Jens Daum untersucht die zur Verfügung stehenden Instrumente der Performanceanalyse von Anleihe- und Aktienportfolios. Diese verknüpft er mit einem Risikobegriff auf Basis eines No-Arbitrage-Ansatzes, um mit dem entwickelten Modell eine risikoadjustierte Performanceanalyse für Anleihenportfolios zu ermöglichen. Auf Basis realer Anleiheportfolios und unter Kenntnis der
