Overview: Delivers an original overview to the discussion on the contemporary city and new forms of urbanity.Provides a new manner of territorial readings through the use of both texts and maps.Offers a substan.This book provides an overview of the Horizontal Metropolis concept, and of the theoretical, methodological and political implications for the interdisciplinary field in which it operates. The book investigates the contemporary emergence of a new type of extended urbanity across regions, territories and continents, up to the global scale. Further, it explores the diffusion of contempora

Overview: The authors use regulation to explain the antecedents to current welfare developments in Britain. From discussion of the ‘Speenhamland System‘, the struggle for Family Allowance and a National Minimum Wage, they show how first a Conservative government in the 1970s, and more recently ‘New Labour‘, have used in-work benefits so that today they have become the preferred instrument of intervention in the labour market for setting wages. The authors discuss the ways in which these measures - the new deals for lone parents and young people and the working family tax credit - address issue

Overview: The Political Economy of Nature draws extensively on current insights from sociology, ecology, economics and earth science. Robert Boardman pools these diverse resources to argue that the investigation of environmental issues raises complex theoretical questions which can only be answered through more sustained links between the natural and social sciences. With global issues becoming an increasingly vital part of environmental debates, Boardman shows how understanding of ecological problems can be increased in both International Relations and International Political Economy.978-1-34

Overview: Integrates the historiographies of the states that fought in the Balkan Wars through international contributors.Furthers our understanding of twentieth-century warfare in Europe by focusing on two neg.This book explores the historial role of the Balkan Wars. In Eastern Europe, the two Balkan Wars of 1912/13 had greater importance than the First World War for the construction of nations and states. This volume shows how these “short” wars profoundly changed the sociopolitical situation in the Balkans, with consequences that are still felt today. More than one hundred years later, the

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The book contains the first systematic exposition of the current known theory of K-loops, as well as some new material. In particular, big classes of examples are constructed. The theory for sharply 2-transitive groups is generalized to the theory of Frobenius groups with many involutions. A detailed discussion of the relativistic velocity addition based on the author‘s construction of K-loops from classical groups is also included. The first chapters of the book can be used as a text, the later chapters are research notes, and only partially suitable

Overview: Die Programmiersprache Pascal wurde von Prof. Nikolaus Wirth (1974) gezielt für den Einsatz in der Ausbildung entwickelt. Ihre Stärken sind u. a. die problemorientierten Datentypen und viele zweckmäßige, darauf ange­ paßte Operationen. Die Sprache Pascal unterstützt optimal ein strukturiertes Programmieren und ist leicht zu erlernen, daher hat sie sich weitgehend im Bereich der Ausbildung und auch in der Anwendung durchgesetzt. Seit einigen Jahren ist diese vielseitige und sichere Sprache in ihrem vollen Umfang auch auf Personal Computern (PC) lauffähig. Und seit der Entwick­ lung de

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Contemporary International Relations is as much a conversation between the living and the dead as it is among the living. Its debates are thoroughly rooted in and shaped by the thought of many bygone minds, both ancient and modern. With this in mind, The Return of the Theorists presents forty imagined dialogues with foundational theorists. They run the gamut from Homer and Confucius to Hedley Bull and Jean Bethke Elshtain, and span almost three millennia of human history, comprising representatives of a variety of cultures. The interviewers consist o

Overview: .This book identifies the different forms that protest voting can take in times when populism flourishes. Contrary to the popular view of protest voting as merely venting frustration, this book argues that protest voting can also be conceived of as a strategic signal of discontent, originating from sources, such as party policy positions. The empirical analyses rest on election survey data collected in democratic countries around the world between 2005 and 2017 to understand protest voting as a strategic signal, and the conditions under which it occurs. The main results show that pro

Overview: The privatization of public utilities raises several complex issues. The privatization decision involves not only the transfer of ownership from the public to the private sector, and thus the design of appropriate selling procedures (with regard to valuation of assets, flotation of shares, etc), but also, and most importantly, it appears to require the adjustment of significant features of the industrial organization and the regulatory framework. This volume focuses on the two related questions of why and how to proceed to privatization.978-1-349-25257-2978-1-349-25255-8Series ISSN 2
