Os Ensaios Políticos de Hume tiveram uma enorme audiência e considerável influência sobre seus contemporâneos mas as reflexões de Hume sobre política nem sempre tiveram a atenção que merecem, situaçã

Em um contexto de exploraço do "perigo vermelho", um ano antes do golpe que instauraria a ditadura que perduraria por 21 anos, estudantes de tradicionais faculdades paulistas, amparados nas premissas anticomunistas, se reunem para formar um grupo que se tornaria conhecido como o Comando de Caça aos Comunistas. O grupo, por meio de seus integrantes, passa, ento, a atuar dentro do ambiente universitario, influenciando a dinamica da politica estudantil e com a escalada da represso, em 1968, os atos ultrapassam os muros das universidades passando a atuar, inclusive, no aparelho repressivo, deixando sua assinatura nas violaçes aos direitos humanos ocorridas no periodo. Ao estudar com rigor o ideario e a aço do famigerado Comando de Caça aos Comunistas CCC, Danielle Barreto Lima nos brinda com elementos mais do que suficientes para compreender a atualizaço das trevas do passado que teimam em atormentar o presente. Observando as formas de fazer politica ou nega-la de jovens conservadores e reacionarios, acantonados em duas importantes universidades paulistas, a autora escrutina o enraizamento daquela militancia pelo pais e a sua longevidade no tempo.

Terrorism has long been a part of Spanish history, although the 1990s and early 21st century brought some changes in terms of who committed the attacks and how. Other changes that took place at this time include the increasing openness about terrorism in theatre. What is it about this time period that led to the new ways of discussing and approaching violence/terrorism? Was it more frequent or simply less covert? This book examines the intersection of violence and theatre in Spain, in addition to the role this cultural combination plays on the identity and quotidian experience of the Spanish people, through the study of dramas by contemporary playwrights such as Jordi Galceran, Sergi Belbel, and more.

Discreet, inconspicuous, prudent... The perfect prime-ministerial aide is always in the background, a low-profile figure unknown outside the Westminster bubble. Unfortunately, reality often falls short of the ideal; for as long as the office of Prime Minister has existed, its occupants have been supported by a range of colourful individuals who have garnered public interest, controversy and criticism. At Powers Elbow tells their story for the first time, uncovering the truth behind three centuries worth of prime ministers and their aides. Its subjects range from the early media-managers and election-fixers of Sir Robert Walpole, to the teams supporting the wartime premierships of David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill, to the semi-official Department of the Prime Minister established under Tony Blair. Along the way, Andrew Blick and George Jones demonstrate how these essential advisers can be a source of both solace and strife to their chiefs, solving and causing problems in almost equal measure. Above all, they reveal how a Prime Ministers approach to his staff can define his premiership, for better or for worse.

The arms race between the Soviet Union and the USA was the most dangerous confrontation in the history of the world. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchevs decision to place nuclear missiles in Cuba, and US President John F. Kennedys willingness to call his bluff, brought the Soviet Union and the West to the edge of a cataclysmic nuclear war. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Robert Holmes, a British diplomat in Moscow during the early 1960s, provides an answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the Cold War. Kennedys confidence in his brinkmanship hung on the evidence provided by Oleg Penkovsky, the MI6/CIA agent inside Soviet military intelligence. While working on A Spy Like No Other, Holmes set out to tell Penkovskys story. But, in doing so, he stumbled upon an astonishing chain of intrigue, betrayal and revenge that suggested a group of maverick Soviet intelligence officers had plotted the crime of the century. When Penkovskys treachery was discovered, in the middle of the Missile Crisis, he was executed and his boss, General Ivan Serov (the head of Soviet military intelligence and a former head of the KGB), was subsequently dismissed. The Soviet propaganda machine then thoroughly discredited Serov and consigned him to obscurity. In this extraordinary new study, Holmes suggests Serovs anger at the Wests victory in Cuba and his resentment at the treachery of his protege and his own downfall turned into an obsessive determination to gain revenge - and reveals the opportunity he had to do so by working with KGB rogue officers to enlist a young American loner, Lee Harvey Oswald, to assassinate the President.

This is a collection of the most influential speeches given since entering the new millennium. It is a timely book, capturing contemporary and powerful expressions of ideas and reasoning. Global in perspective, these speeches stand as unmediated and authentic testaments to the profound impact of great words and persuasive vision. During this period our mindset and culture have changed, reflecting the immense national and international changes the age has witnessed: the global financial crisis, the outbreak of international terrorism, the rise of new wealth in the developing world, austerity in Europe and the United States, and new opportunities for investment and influence. These speeches define our recent history and will be used by historians to understand us in the years and centuries to come.

In diesem Band liegt der Schwerpunkt auf den Momenten, in denen wir uns pathologisieren und selbst regieren und welche Rolle dabei Begriffe wie psychische Gesundheit und Krankheit, Normalitat und Eigenverantwortung spielen. Die zweite Gegendiagnose zeichnet sich durch eine groe Vielfalt an expliziter und reflektierter Diversitat der Perspektiven aus, ebenso durch eine Varianz der Beitragsformen. Von wissenschaftlicher abstrakter Theoriearbeit und Analyse uber autoethnografische Zugange bis hin zu sehr personlichen Erfahrungsberichten und Prosa, von der Betroffenen- uber die Angehorigen-Perspektive bis hin zu der Perspektive der Professionellen sind vertreten. Dieses Nebeneinander der Perspektiven ist als Kritik an der vorherrschenden Definitionsgewalt der Psy-Disziplinen und ihrer Institutionen zu verstehen. Die Beitrage analysieren Mechanismen und Auswirkungen des neoliberalen psychologischen_psychiatrischen Gesundheitssystems und fragen nach Widerstandsmoglichkeiten auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen.

Mit den Neuauflagen der Krankheitskataloge ICD und DSM werden die Grenzen dessen ausgedehnt, was als psychisch krank gilt. Formulierten in den 1960/70er Jahren noch auerparlamentarische Linke und ihr verbundene Psychiater_innen eine radikale Kritik an der Institution Psychiatrie, wurde im Anschluss daran die Kritik hauptsachlich von Betroffenen getragen und in die Praxis ubersetzt. Heute findet Psychiatriekritik selbst im burgerlichen Mainstream statt. Diese reibt sich allerdings lediglich an den aktuell in den Katalog aufgenommenen Diagnosen und den Interessen der Pharma-Industrie. Eine radikale Gesellschafts- und Machtkritik, wie sie die Alte und Neue Antipsychiatrie enthalt, lasst sie jedoch vermissen.

This book explores the phenomenon of political Islam in the Gulf region. Existing scholarship on this topic is mostly dedicated to the varied religious groups position on violence and democracy. This book expands on the topic and investigates the complexities of the relationship of individuals to religion, the state, and societies, and the organization of their lives and spiritual affairs in the Middle East with particular emphasis on the unique environment of the Gulf. Given the importance of the political Islamic context to the politics, regional interventions, economics, and society of the Gulf states, this book will be an essential tool in giving, policy makers, practitioners, and the larger public a detailed view of a complicated but essential topic.

Only if we succeed together in overcoming the mantra of seemingly eternal economic growth can we save our planet and thus ensure our survival as humanity. Renouncing excessive consumption that goes beyond all limits is not really a disadvantage at all. Instead, it makes us happier and our world more peaceful. The author urgently appeals to us to recognise the limits of growth before it is too late. Helmut von Siedmogrodzki presents a wealth of facts to show that the current "solutions" lead to a dead end. For example, the call to overcome capitalism is senseless, because socialism does exploit "Mother Earth" any less. It is also a misconception that technological progress could curb the consumption of resources - on the contrary, as the enormous power requirements of artificial intelligence show. And in the end, we will have to pay dearly for growth on credit with a dizzying level of national debt. However, Helmut von Siedmogrodzki does not stop at saying what will not work, but shows concrete ways to escape the growth trap. Step by step, the author explains the basics of sustainable economic activity. He identifies three key factors. Firstly, the transformation to a service society in which the focus is on the needs-based use of goods rather than their possession. Secondly, a strong regionalisation of our value chains in order to put a stop to completely excessive globalisation. And thirdly, a modernisation of our financial system that dispenses with transactions that bring no benefit to the community. As a successful management consultant for decades, Helmut von Siedmogrodzki also sees his work as a concrete guide to action for the economy. He methodically explains how companies can position themselves for the future and how the economy must be rethought in order to preserve the world for our children and grandchildren.

Retroversiosta retrofuturistiseen aikaan - Vuoden 2024 kirjojen kooste tuo yhteen kuusi teosta, jotka tarjoavat syvallisen katsauksen teknologian, yhteiskunnan ja kulttuurin nykypaivaan luodaten myos tulevaisuutta.

Tama teos vie lukijan syvalle poikkitieteelliseen maailmaan, jossa luonnontieteet, teknologia, algoritmit ja robotiikka sulautuvat yhdeksi voimakkaaksi kokonaisuudeksi. Yksilo ei ole vain ajattelija, vaan myos toteuttaja - luoden uudenlaisia mahdollisuuksia ja avaamalla ovia yhteiskunnan ja kulttuurin vallankumoukselliseen kehitykseen.

Elamme luovan teknologian renessanssin aikaa ja joudumme pohtimaan kulttuurimme kehitysta pitkalle kehittyneen teknologian valossa. Sosiaalisen median seka tekoalyn yhteiskunnallinen dilemma ohjaa meita hybridiyhteiskunnan ja illuusioyhteiskunnan kanssa rinnakkain. Botrus art ja Arte clusters eivat kuvataiteissa ole sama asia kuin Cluster Art and art of clusters. Ekologinen klusteri ja innovaatiopolitiikka vaitoskirjan nimena 2000-luvun alussa on joutunut uudenlaisen tarkastelun kohteeksi vain 20 vuotta myohemmin.

Nur wenn es uns gelingt, das Mantra des scheinbar ewigen Wirtschaftswachstums zu uberwinden, konnen wir unseren Planeten retten und damit unser Uberleben als Menschheit sichern. Der Verzicht auf einen alle Maen sprengenden ubermaigen Konsum ist in Wahrheit gar kein Nachteil, sondern macht uns glucklicher und unsere Welt friedlicher. Eindringlich appelliert der Autor an uns alle, die Grenzen des Wachstums zu erkennen, bevor es zu spat ist.Faktenreich zeigt Helmut von Siedmogrodzki auf, dass die gangigen "Losungen" in die Sackgasse fuhren. So ist der Ruf, den Kapitalismus zu uberwinden, sinnlos, weil der Sozialismus "Mutter Erde" nicht weniger stark ausbeutet. Ebenso ist es ein Irrglaube, dass der technische Fortschritt den Ressourcenverbrauch eindammen konnte - im Gegenteil, wie etwa der enorme Strombedarf Kunstlicher Intelligenz beispielhaft zeigt. Und das Wachstum auf Pump mit einer schwindelerregenden Staatsverschuldung werden wir alle am Ende teuer bezahlen mussen.Doch Helmut von Siedmogrodzki belasst es nicht etwa dabei, zu sagen, was nicht funktionieren wird, sondern weist konkrete Wege auf, um der Wachstumsfalle zu entkommen . Schritt fur Schritt erlautert der Autor die Grundlagen fur ein nachhaltiges Wirtschaften. Dabei benennt er drei Schlusselfaktoren. Erstens die Transformation zu einer Dienstleistungsgesellschaft, in der die bedarfsgerechte Nutzung statt der Besitz von Gutern im Vordergrund steht. Zweitens eine starke Regionalisierung der Wertschopfungsketten, um einer ubertriebenen Globalisierung Einhalt zu gebieten. Und drittens eine Modernisierung des Finanzsystems, das auf Transaktionen verzichtet, die keinerlei Nutzen fur die Gemeinschaft bringen Als jahrzehntelang erfolgreicher Unternehmensberater versteht Helmut von Siedmogrodzki sein Werk auch als eine konkrete Handlungsanleitung fur die Wirtschaft. Er erklart methodisch, wie sich Unternehmen zukunftsfahig aufstellen konnen und die Wirtschaft neu gedacht werden muss, um die Welt fur unsere Kinder und Kindeskinder zu bewahren.

Der Machtkampf zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und der Volksrepublik China um die globale Vorrangstellung spitzt sich immer mehr zu. Die kleine Insel Taiwan - amtlich die "Republik China" - stellt in diesem Spannungsfeld das "Zunglein an der Waage" dar, das die offene Feindschaft in einen Krieg der beiden Supermachte verwandeln konnte. Fur die VR China stellt Taiwan einen selbstverstandlichen Teil ihres eigenen Staates dar, die USA behandeln Taiwan ebenso selbstverstandlich wie einen eigenstandigen Staat, der zu ihrem Einflussgebiet gehort und den es unter allen Umstanden zu verteidigen gilt.Mit dem Einmarsch Russlands in die Ukraine ist deutlich geworden, wie schnell derartige Spannungen in einen Krieg munden konnen. Es ist zu erwarten, dass die USA die gleiche westliche Allianz, die sie gegen Russland in Stellung gebracht haben, auch gegen China einsetzen werden, um ihre globale Vormachtsstellung zu verteidigen. Mit anderen Worten: Wenn wir uns seit 2022 in einer Art "indirekten Krieg" gegen Russland befinden, so steht ein ahnliches wenn nicht schlimmeres Szenario an, wenn der Konflikt zwischen der VR China und den USA eine militarische Dimension annimmt. Hat der Krieg um die Ukraine Europa und insbesondere Deutschland schon hart getroffen, so wurde eine militarische Auseinandersetzung der beiden Supermachte um Taiwan Europa politisch und vor allem wirtschaftlich erschuttern. Europa und wiederum in erster Linie Deutschland hat sich uber lange Zeit hinweg als aquidistant zu den USA und der VR China verstanden - diese politische Einordnung ware auf einen Schlag pulverisiert. Ein Versiegen der Nachschubversorgung aus der VR China und der Wegfall der dortigen Absatzmarkte wurde Deutschland an den Rand des wirtschaftlichen Ruins treiben. Zudem hatte der Ausfall Taiwans als der weltweit grote Auftragsfertiger fur Computerchips verheerende Auswirkungen auf die Weltwirtschaft. Dieses aktuelle und brisante Buch analysiert die Hintergrunde und zeichnet mogliche Szenarien fur die Zukunft.

A reference tool for initiating youth policy and learning about the diversity of national and international governance and about the infrastructure available for youth policy, its implementation, review and evaluationToday, we know much more about national and European youth policy, the role of research, participation of young people and monitoring and evaluation of youth policy than we did when the first Youth policy manual was published in 2009 by the EUCouncil of Europe youth partnership. The concept of youth policy can be very narrowly or very broadly constructed. This volume positions youth policy in the context of public policy and reflects on the complex, cyclical nature of policy making, bringing together the results of knowledge gathering and debates central to the European agenda in the field over the last 15 years.Thematically, the manual focuses very specifically on those areas of youth policy that have been formulated and developed through European consensus-building participation, information, volunteering, social inclusion, access to rights, youth work, mobility and digitalisation. We hope that the five parts of the manual, from the conceptual to the practical, and through a range of examples and questions for reflection, will help you to explore, understand and engage with the youth policy framework in your context, from your own perspective, and will provide you with a sense of all the stages of youth policy making. Most importantly, the manual includes a wide range of standards, tools and resources developed by and for the benefit of youth policy makers, youth work practitioners, youth researchers and young people across Europe.It is About Time! we strengthen the youth sector further to develop a new generation of positive and purposeful youth policies in Europe!
