Abbas Assi, "Democracy in Lebanon: Political Parties and the Struggle for Power Since Syrian Withdrawal"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1788319788 | EPUB | pages: 264 | 0.8 mb
The 'Cedar Revolution' in Lebanon, which was sparked by the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri on 14 February 2005, was seen by many as an opportunity for Lebanon's fragile political system to move towards a more stable form of democracy. But contrary to these expectations, in the years since Syrian military withdrawal in April 2005, Lebanon has been plagued with sectarian and political unrest and conflict. Abbas Assi here explores the obstacles that impeded the democratic transition process and how subsequent events since 2005 (such as the passing of UNSCR 1559, the 2006 Hizbullah-Israel war and the Syrian conflict) have bolstered this trend. By looking at these, Assi examines how the intersection of the influence of external factors and powers with domestic conflicts has shaped the behaviour of political parties and has had implications on their ability to reach compromises and initiate democratic reforms. By analysing the impact of the intersection of domestic and external factors on democracy, this book is a vital reference for those studying politics of Lebanon and the Middle East more broadly.

Nelli Babayan, Thomas Risse, "Democracy Promotion and the Challenges of Illiberal Regional Powers"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1138654531, 1138391743 | EPUB | pages: 178 | 0.4 mb
This book examines Western efforts at democracy promotion, reactions by illiberal challengers and regional powers, and political and societal conditions in target states. It is argued that Western powers are not unequivocally committed to the promotion of democracy and human rights, while non-democratic regional powers cannot simply be described as "autocracy supporters". This volume examines in detail the challenges by three illiberal regional powers ― China, Russia and Saudi Arabia ― to Western (US and EU) efforts at democracy promotion. The contributions specifically analyze their actions in Ethiopia and Angola in the case of China, Georgia and Ukraine in the case of Russia, and Tunisia in the case of Saudi Arabia. Democratic powers such as the US or the EU usually prefer stability over human rights and democracy. If democratic movements threaten stability in a region, neither the US nor the EU supports them. As to illiberal powers, they are generally not that different from their democratic counterparts. They also prefer stability over turmoil. Neither Russia nor China nor Saudi Arabia explicitly promote autocracy. Instead, they seek to suppress democratic movements in their periphery the minute these groups threaten their security interests or are perceived to endanger their regime survival. This was previously published as a special issue of Democratization.

Sergiu Gherghina, Joakim Ekman, Olena Podolian, "Democratic Innovations in Central and Eastern Europe"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367421674 | EPUB | pages: 132 | 0.9 mb
Democratic Innovations in Central and Eastern Europe expands research on democratic innovations by looking specifically at different forms of democratic innovations in Central and Eastern Europe.

The book covers direct democracy (referendums in particular), deliberative democracy practices and e-participation - forms which are salient in practice because they match the political realities of our time. Expert contributors show how the recent actions of ordinary citizens in several Central and Eastern European countries have challenged the contemporary political order, and grassroots movements and diverse forms of mobilization have challenged the notion of weak civil societies in the East. The empirical evidence presented attempts to deepen citizen involvement in political contexts sometimes quite different from the democratic political systems in the Western world. Using lessons from a still largely underexplored part of Europe, the book both complements and revises theoretical approaches, or complements empirical results in existing studies on democratic innovations.
Democratic Innovations in Central and Eastern Europe will be of great interest to scholars working on democracy, political systems, political engagement, and Central and Eastern European politics. The chapters originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Politics.

Democratic Struggle, Institutional Reform, and State Resilience in the African Sahel By Leonardo A. Villalón, Rahmane Idrissa (eds.)
2020 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 1498569994 | EPUB | 1 MB
Long on the periphery of both academic research and international attention, the countries of the West African Sahel currently find themselves at the center of global concerns over security, terrorism, migration, and conflict. Since the early 1990s the Sahelian states have also been engaged in political struggles over the construction of democratic institutions. Edited by Leonardo A. Villalón and Abdourahmane Idrissa, Democratic Struggle, Institutional Reform, and State Resilience in the African Sahel addresses a key and little-studied question: How have the politics of democratization across the Francophone Sahel shaped processes of state-building, and with what effects on the resilience of state institutions? Starting from the premise that variation in the politics of institution building and institutional reform-although most frequently justified and debated in terms of democratization-have differing impact on the construction of resilient states , this book examines these processes in six francophone states of the Sahel: Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad. The contributors represent a set of distinguished scholars from across the region, many of whom have also been important actors in the struggles they analyze.

Dial-A-Ride Problems in Transportation Service
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031663454 | 216 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 19 MB
Although the dial-a-ride problem currently plays a crucial role in providing transportation services to specific demographics such as the elderly, those with serious illnesses, or individuals with limited mobility due to disabilities, its potential impact on the overall mobility of the population remains underexplored. Surprisingly, the focus is often narrow, leaving potentials untapped and negatively impacting service providers' profitability. This book proposes several solutions, including strategies for increasing revenue, offering supplementary services, and fostering collaboration. Further, it presents ideas and approaches that address the corresponding problems using operations research methods. The proposals presented here can be used not only to enhance the economic viability of dial-a-ride systems but also boost their impact and visibility. As such, the book shares fundamental insights into solving the dial-a-ride problem and anticipates future trends, leading the way to new frontiers of research.

Shannon Brincat, "Dialectics in World Politics"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 113808526X | EPUB | pages: 216 | 0.4 mb
This volume explores the conceptual, methodological and praxeological aspects of dialectical analysis in world politics. As dialectics has remained an under-theorised analytical tool in international relations, this volume provides a critical resource for those seeking to deploy dialectics in their own research by showcasing its effectiveness for understanding and transforming world politics. Contributions demonstrate a number of innovative ways in which dialectical thinking can be of benefit to the study of world politics by covering three thematic concerns: (i) conceptual or meta-theoretical dimensions of dialectics; (ii) methodological features and general principles of dialectical approaches; and (iii) applications and/or case studies that deploy a dialectical approach to world politics. Canvassing a diverse range of dialectical approaches on key issues in world politics - from global security to postcolonial resistances, from the theoretical problems of reification and complexity, to the study of the global futures and the intercultural historical expressions of dialectics - Dialectics and World Politics offers key insights into the social forces and contradictions that are generative of transformation in world politics and yet routinely downplayed in orthodox approaches to international relations. Each chapter demonstrates how dialectics can be utilized more broadly in the discipline and deployed in a critical fashion as part of an emancipatory project.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Globalizations.

Die Entwicklung des Systems Erde, 2. Auflage by Olaf Elicki · Christoph Breitkreuz
Deutsch | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 412 Pages | ISBN : 3662657635 | 216.7 MB
Den Ansatz der klassischen Historischen Geologie aufgreifend, fokussieren die Autoren in diesem neukonzipierten Lehrbuch auf die biogenen und nicht-biogenen Prozesse der Erdentwicklung. Seit der Entstehung unseres Planeten vor etwa 4,5 Milliarden Jahren finden diese komplexen und sich in vielerlei Hinsicht gegenseitig beeinflussenden Prozesse auf zahlreichen Ebenen statt.

Alle Sphären unseres Planeten interagieren miteinander und erzeugen ein permanentes Feedback. Einige dieser Prozesse sind unumkehrbar, wie das Wachstum der Kontinente oder die biologische Evolution, andere Phänomene dagegen laufen zyklisch ab, wie etwa Variationen des Klimas und der Meeresspiegelhöhe. Es gibt Vorgänge, die uns vertraut sind, da sie immer wieder in der Erdgeschichte auftreten oder weil wir sie auch heute als aktive Prozesse beobachten können; andere hingegen sind selten oder gar einmalig und die Erklärung ihrer Phänomene und Ursachen verlangt fachübergreifendes Wissen ebenso wie eine frische undunvoreingenommene Herangehensweise.
Die Autoren führen erdwissenschaftliche und biowissenschaftliche Sichtweisen zusammen, da sich so die eng verwobene Koevolution von Planet und Leben in der geologischen Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart verstehen lässt. Sie dokumentieren die wesentlichen Prozesse der Erdentwicklung. Der „rote Faden" des Buches ist die Zeit. Frühe Zeitabschnitte, wie das Hadaikum und das Archaikum, oder die kambrische Faunenexplosion finden ebenso besondere Beachtung wie die jüngsten Entwicklungen im Quartär. Die wichtigsten Methoden und Werkzeuge werden erläutert. Ein spezieller Schwerpunkt des Buches ist die Biosphäre - ihre Entstehung, Entwicklung und die Auswirkungen der biologischen Evolution auf Atmo-, Hydro- und Geosphäre.
In der vorliegender Neuauflage wurden alle Kapitel dem jüngsten wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisfortschritt angepasst und um zahlreiche Abbildungen erweitert. Insbesondere wurden die Themen zur Entstehung und frühen Evolutiondes Lebens, zu den Prozessen und Vorkommen im jüngeren Känozoikum Mitteleuropas sowie zur Entstehung und Entwicklung des Menschen und auch die aktuelle Problematik des Anthropozäns deutlich ausgeweitet bzw. neu hinzugefügt.
Das Lehrbuch ist für Studierende der Geowissenschaften ab dem 2. Studienjahr konzipiert, soll aber auch Studierenden benachbarter Disziplinen als Einstieg in das „System Erde" und als Nachschlagewerk dienen. Auch für Wissenschaftler und professionelle Nutzer der angewandten Geowissenschaften und Geotechnik wird es hilfreich sein. Zugleich spricht es Lehrer der geo- und bio-relevanten Fächer sowie interessierte Laien an.

Dieter Henrich, "Dies Ich, Das Viel Besagt: Fichtes Einsicht Nachdenken"
Deutsch | 2022 | ISBN: 3465045882 | PDF | pages: 321 | 3.9 mb
At first glance, self-consciousness seems to belong to what almost goes without saying. In a continuous process of reflection, however, it turns out that it presents one of philosophy's most difficult and momentous problems. Dieter Henrich's treatise "Fichtes ursprungliche Einsicht", which was dedicated to this problem was published more than fifty years ago. Here, Henrich showed that it was Fichte who first grasped the problem and made it the guiding theme of his thinking. In this new book, the unaltered reprinting of this text is followed by a new and extensive series of reflections concerning self-consciousness in the context of a philosophical foundation and the problems which, under the guiding principle of his original insight, set Fichte's system formation into a motion without a definitive solution. Henrich's book can be seen as a renewal of Kant's way of thinking - in relation to a problem whose significance for philosophy is hardly disputed any longer, in a perspective appropriate to the contemporary modes of experience, and in the wake of clarifications that can be gained by reflecting on the dynamics in Fichte's system formations.

Mark P. Mills, "Digital Cathedrals"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1641771100 | EPUB | pages: 64 | 0.2 mb
We are now witnessing the build-out of society's first foundationally new infrastructure in nearly a century: the Cloud. It is an ecosystem of information-digital hardware, at the heart of which resides massive warehouse-scale datacenters unlike anything ever built. Given the resources committed to them and the reverence afforded to the companies that build and own them, datacenters might be called the digital cathedrals of the twenty-first century. The emerging Cloud is as different from the communications infrastructure that preceded it, as air travel was different from automobiles. And, using energy as a metric for scale―since there are only two kinds of infrastructures, energy-producing and energy-using―today's global Cloud already consumes more energy than all aviation. Yet, as disruptive as the Cloud has already become, we are in fact just at the end of the beginning of what the digital masons are building for the twenty-first century.

Judith L. Sychev, "Directing Health Messages Toward African Americans: Attitudes Toward Health Care and the Mass Media"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0815330510 | EPUB | pages: 304 | 0.6 mb
First Published in 1998. Since the research for this book was completed in 1995, the Clinton Health Security Act of 1993 has vanished. The proposed comprehensive benefits that were to be guaranteed to every American never materialized. Pres. Clinton was never able to present an acceptable way to pay for the system, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who spearheaded health care reform was relegated back to nearly invisible First Lady status. When Congress takes up health care issues today, the debate is more likely to be about late-term abortion, Medicare reform, or tobacco and smoking regulations. Minority health care-especially preventive health care-has not become part of the national debate and likely will not do so during the 20th Century. Political correctness and research on black health care issues have clashed in a way that the research in this book perhaps could have predicted.

A GUIDE FOR CREATING A LIFE OF MAXIMUM FULFILLMENT AND PURPOSE, BY THE CAREER COACH WHOSE APPROACH HAS HELPED THOUSANDS REORIENT THEIR CAREERS AND LIVES

So many of us have done everything 'right' for our careers; picked a 'career destination', got the grades, made the 5-year plan, checked all the boxes, worked hard and climbed the ladder, and now?
