Book Description
Zwischenprüfungsarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: gut, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit der Entwicklung des europäischen Integrationsprojekts von einer Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft zu einem politischen Herrschaftssystem, das immer mehr an Kompetenzen gewinnt, wird zunehmend die Frage nach der Legitimation dieses Herrschaftssystems laut. Immer wieder wird eine Stärkung demokratischer Elemente im politischen Prozess der EU gefordert. Insbesondere seit dem Vertrag von Maastricht, in dem die Schaffung einer Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion festgeschrieben wurde, der daraufhin erfolgten Ablehnung des Vertrages durch die dänische Bevölkerung sowie dem Maastricht-Urteil des deutschen Bundesverfassungsgerichts ist eine anhaltende Diskussion um die Notwendigkeit einer Stärkung der Legitimation der EU-Politik und um mögliche Wege zur Erreichung dieses Ziels entbrannt. In dieser Diskussion haben sich zahlreiche Ansätze zur Behebung des Legitimationsdefizits herausgebildet, von denen die meisten mehr oder weniger stark an der Praxis nationaler politischer Systeme orientiert sind. Dieser Umstand und die Tatsache, dass die Grundstruktur der EU in vielerlei Hinsicht von der von Nationalstaaten abweicht, scheinen bei einigen dieser Verbesserungsvorschläge kaum oder nur in nicht ausreichendem Maße berücksichtigt zu werden. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es daher, anhand einiger zentraler Verbesserungsvorschläge die spezielle Problematik des europäischen politischen Systems erneut zu verdeutlichen und die Notwendigkeit einer Loslösung von nationalstaatlichen Kategorien oder zumindest einer Öffnung und Weiterentwicklung dieser Kategorien in Richtung europatauglicher Modelle plausibel zu machen.

Present-Day Spiritualities
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004260064
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Many forms of present-day Western spirituality contribute to people’s well-being, whereas others have raised criticism. The study of these different forms is, however, complicated by their continuously diverging practices and ideas. By bringing to bear a multidisciplinary approach, the ten specialists of this volume are able to analyze diverse new instances of spirituality, e.g. in religious contexts (Buddhism, Christianity), popular use, organizations and enterprises, (alternative) health service, and works of art. Most contributions also discuss methods and theories. In their editorial chapters, Elisabeth Hense, Frans Jespers and Peter Nissen show the remarkable overlaps in the approaches, definitions and evaluations of the contributions in this volume and provide a theoretical framework. Both the fresh analyses and the theoretical reflections in this volume point the way to new approaches in this field of study. Contributors include: Jerry Biberman, Mark Elliott, Miguel Farias, Johan Goud, Paul Heelas, Elisabeth Hense, Frans Jespers, Hubert Knoblauch, Peter Nissen, Paul van der Velde

The ever increasing use of computers, networks and the Internet has led to the need for regulation in the fields of cybercrime, cybersecurity and national security.

It highlights the differences concerning the ecosystem of stakeholders involved in each area and covers government supported initiatives to motivate industry to adopt self-regulation.

Pages : 232
Book Description
One of the most influential anthropological works of the last two decades, Alfred Gell’s Art and Agency is a provocative and ambitious work that both challenged and reshaped anthropological understandings of art, agency, creativity and the social. It has become a touchstone in contemporary artifact-based scholarship. This volume brings together leading anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians and other scholars into an interdisciplinary dialogue with Art and Agency, generating a timely re-engagement with the themes, issues and arguments at the heart of Gell’s work, which remains salient, and controversial, in the social sciences and humanities. Extending his theory into new territory – from music to literary technology and ontology to technological change – the contributors do not simply take stock, but also provoke, critically reassessing this important work while using it to challenge conceptual and disciplinary boundaries.

Cultural Property and Contested Ownership
Author: Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317281837
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Against the backdrop of international conventions and their implementation, Cultural Property and Contested Ownership explores how highly-valued cultural goods are traded and negotiated among diverging parties and their interests. Cultural artefacts, such as those kept and trafficked between art dealers, private collectors and museums, have become increasingly localized in a ‘Bermuda triangle’ of colonialism, looting and the black market, with their re-emergence resulting in disputes of ownership and claims for return. This interdisciplinary volume provides the first book-length investigation of the changing behaviours resulting from the effect of the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. The collection considers the impact of the Convention on the way antiquity dealers, museums and auction houses, as well as nation states and local communities, address issues of provenance, contested ownership, and the trafficking of cultural property. The book contains a range of contributions from anthropologists, lawyers, historians and archaeologists. Individual cases are examined from a bottom-up perspective and assessed from the viewpoint of international law in the Epilogue. Each section is contextualised by an introductory chapter from the editors.

The Meaning of Sarkozy
Author: Alain Badiou
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1844676293
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
In this incisive, acerbic work, Alain Badiou looks beyond the petty vulgarity of the French president to decipher the true significance of what he represents—a reactionary tradition that goes back more than a hundred years. To escape the malaise that has enveloped the Left since Sarkozy’s election, Badiou casts aside the slavish worship of electoral democracy and maps out a communist hypothesis that lays the basis for an emancipatory politics of the twenty-first century.

Rage and Time
Author: Peter Sloterdijk
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231518366
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
While ancient civilizations worshipped strong, active emotions, modern societies have favored more peaceful attitudes, especially within the democratic process. We have largely forgotten the struggle to make use of thymos, the part of the soul that, following Plato, contains spirit, pride, and indignation. Rather, Christianity and psychoanalysis have promoted mutual understanding to overcome conflict. Through unique examples, Peter Sloterdijk, the preeminent posthumanist, argues exactly the opposite, showing how the history of Western civilization can be read as a suppression and return of rage. By way of reinterpreting the Iliad, Alexandre Dumas's Count of Monte Cristo, and recent Islamic political riots in Paris, Sloterdijk proves the fallacy that rage is an emotion capable of control. Global terrorism and economic frustrations have rendered strong emotions visibly resurgent, and the consequences of violent outbursts will determine international relations for decades to come. To better respond to rage and its complexity, Sloterdijk daringly breaks with entrenched dogma and contructs a new theory for confronting conflict. His approach acknowledges and respects the proper place of rage and channels it into productive political struggle.
