Körper und Emotionen in Bewegung: Migrationsgesellschaftliche Perspektiven auf Bildung, Politik und Familie (MiGS: Migration - Gesellschaft - Schule)
by Margarete Menz Miriam Stock Daniel RellstabDer Band versammelt aktuelle interdisziplinäre Analysen zu Körper und Emotionen in der Migrationsgesellschaft. Gefühle und Körper spielen eine wesentliche Rolle in Migrationsprozessen wie auch in Diskursen und Debatten über Migration und über ‚Migrationsandere‘. Sie begleiten und verstärken Aushandlungen über Zugehörigkeit, über das Eigene und das Fremde. In den Beiträgen werden Normen und Ideale, Diskriminierungen und Vulnerabilitäten und schließlich auch Widerstandspraktiken im Kontext von Bildung, Politik und Familie vorgestellt und diskutiert.
Künstler als Agents of Change: Auswärtige Kulturpolitik und zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement in Transformationsprozessen (Auswärtige Kulturpolitik)
by Meike LettauKünstler und Kulturaktivisten nehmen als Agents of Change eine zentrale Rolle in gesellschaftspolitischen Transformationsprozessen ein. Die Studie untersucht die Rolle zivilgesellschaftlicher Akteure am Beispiel von Kunstfestivals im öffentlichen Raum im Kontext der Umbrüche in Tunesien in den Jahren 2010/11 und der politischen Transformation von einem diktatorischen zu einem demokratischen System. Darüber hinaus werden neue Aufgaben, Herausforderungen und Chancen auf dem Gebiet deutscher auswärtiger Kulturpolitik am Beispiel der kulturellen Programmarbeit und Kooperationsansätze des Goethe-Instituts betrachtet sowie ein Paradigmenwechsel für das Politikfeld entwickelt.
Künstliche Intelligenz im Militär: Chancen und Risiken für die Sicherheitspolitik (essentials)
by Ulf von KrauseKI-Anwendungen drängen auf breiter Front in das Militär hinein, wodurch sich vielfältige Chancen ergeben (in der Administration, der Krisenfrüherkennung, im militärischen Führungsvorgang, beim Waffeneinsatz, .im „Drohnenkrieg“, in hybriden Konflikten). Die Entwicklung von Letalen Autonomen Waffensystemen bringt geopolitische, ethische und (völker-)rechtliche Risiken, deren Lösung derzeit nicht absehbar ist. Bisher scheuen die Mächte, die KI entwickeln, allerdings als „letzten Schritt“ die Übertragung der Entscheidungsgewalt über das Töten von Menschen an Maschinen. Dieses käme einer Öffnung der „Büchse der Pandora“ gleich.
Künstliche Intelligenz in der Militärtechnologie: Soziologische, kulturelle und ethische Perspektiven

K–12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor: Toward an Educational Way of Thinking (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education #17)
by Doron Yosef-HassidimConsidering the role of compulsory mass education and schooling in a democratic society, this book introduces an alternative vision for K-12 education as an "adventurous endeavour." Grounded in a strong theoretical framework, Yosef-Hassidim reveals the negative impact of instrumentalization of schools: when education is considered a social and political instrument, it serves dominant social forces’ interests rather than students’ or humanity as a whole. Offering conceptual and pragmatic frameworks to limit political influence on schooling, the author proposes a new hermeneutical structure that restores education’s agency and separates it from external social forces, and provides the foundation for regarding K-12 education as a sovereign social sphere in its own right.

L'Enfant's Legacy: Public Open Spaces in Washington, D.C
by Michael Bednar(front flap) Many American democratic ideals are embodied in the public spaces of its cities, especially in Washington, D.C. In L'Enfant's Legacy architect and scholar Michael Bednar explores the public spaces of the nation's capital, examining the context of the surrounding architecture and the roles of the spaces in the changing functional life of the city. Bednar examines the ways in which L'Enfant's innovative plan of 1791, along with later developments, symbolizes and encourages democratic freedoms and traditions. In the spaces of Capitol Square, citizens expect to encounter their government directly in a dignified setting, a symbolic public forum. On the White House grounds they expect to meet the president where he works and lives. At the National Mall - America's front lawn - citizens exercise their rights of assembly and free speech, as well as play football, eat lunch, and socialize.
L'Ultimo Prefetto
by Franklin A. Díaz LárezIl 31 dicembre del 2001 sono state definitivamente abolite le prefetture del Venezuela. Si trattava di istituzioni regolamentate da una legge anticostituzionale, ingiusta e immorale: la legge dei vagabondi e dei malviventi. I prefetti erano autorizzati a ordinare l’arresto di una persona fino a 72 ore, o a farla rinchiudere a tempo indeterminato in terribili case di reclusione, senza alcun ordine giudiziario previo. Questa legge era stata ereditata dall’ultima dittatura che c’era stata in Venezuela, quella del Generale Marcos Pérez Jiménez, ed era stata quasi del tutto copiata da una simile che c’era in Spagna durante il franchismo. Secondo tale legge, tutti coloro che non avevano un lavoro noto potevano essere considerati vagabondi o malviventi, ed essere sanzionati dai prefetti. Perfino gli omosessuali venivano considerati in questo modo. Per quanto i fondamenti giuridici ed etici di questa legge fossero assurdi, essa era ancora in vigore, e i funzionari incaricati di applicarla non potevano rifiutarsi di farlo. Finché era in vigore, i prefetti erano obbligati ad applicarla e farla rispettare. Purtroppo o per fortuna, il destino ha voluto che fossi uno di quegli ultimi prefetti. Questi sono i racconti di alcuni dei casi più sorprendenti che mi sono trovato ad affrontare.
L'adolescence En Italie Avant L’Euro
by Claudio Ruggeri Marjorie UrsuletDeux amis se rencontrent durant un après-midi d'été, pendant lequel le plus jeune des deux écoute les anecdotes et les récits de l'autre, à propos d'un monde récemment disparu, qui ne pourra plus exister, ce monde où il n'était pas rare d'entendre la phrase "Non ho una Lira*..."* Bien que la monnaie d'échange en Italie soit actuellement l'Euro, cette expression est encore utilisée, alors que l'authenticité des expressions équivalentes françaises comme "Je n'ai plus un rond" ou encore "Je n'ai plus un radis", n'a en aucun cas été affectée par le passage du Franc à l'Euro.
L'aroma del Mastranto
by Franklin A. Díaz LárezNarra la storia di una bambina che, durante l'anno 2012, a tredici anni di età, realizza un viaggio insieme a suo padre per conoscere il suo paese natale, ovvero il Venezuela, che aveva dovuto lasciare quando era molto piccola perché la sua famiglia era dovuta emigrare in Spagna, e in cui non aveva mai avuto l'occasione di tornare. In questo viaggio scoprirà una società profondamente divisa dalla radicalità, dall'odio e dal fanatismo politico. Conoscerà le disuguaglianze sociali, la differenza abissale tra ricchi e poveri, le cause e le conseguenze della delinquenza, l'insicurezza, la scarsità di alimenti, e l'idolatria e l'esaltazione delle figure di Simón Bolívar, Fidel Castro e Hugo Chávez. Venendo a contatto con la gente, scoprirà le cause e le conseguenze della storia venezuelana recente, i fatti sociali e politici più importanti, e le ragioni profonde delle diverse fazioni, traendo da tutto ciò le sue proprie conclusioni. Allo stesso tempo, cercherà di trovare, con il suo modo di pensare da bambina, una via d'uscita al caos, all'odio e all'intolleranza ideologica. Verrà anche a conoscenza, direttamente sul luogo dei fatti, della tragedia conosciuta col nome di "Massacro di Cantaura", e delle conseguenze che questa ha avuto sul destino della sua stessa famiglia. La storia è raccontata in prima persona dalla bambina stessa, attraverso una serie di lettere scritte a una sua amica di scuola.
L'experience plebeienne
by Martin BreaughHow do people excluded from political life achieve political agency? Through a series of historical events that have been mostly overlooked by political theorists, Martin Breaugh identifies fleeting yet decisive instances of emancipation in which people took it upon themselves to become political subjects. Emerging during the Roman plebs's first secession in 494 BCE, the plebeian experience consists of an underground or unexplored configuration of political strategies to obtain political freedom. The people reject domination through political praxis and concerted action, therefore establishing an alternative form of power. Breaugh's study concludes in the nineteenth century and integrates ideas from sociology, philosophy, history, and political science. Organized around diverse case studies, his work undertakes exercises in political theory to show how concepts provide a different understanding of the meaning of historical events and our political present. The Plebeian Experience describes a recurring phenomenon that clarifies struggles for emancipation throughout history, expanding research into the political agency of the many and shedding light on the richness of radical democratic struggles from ancient Rome to Occupy Wall Street and beyond.

L'independentisme en deu victòries (que tu vas fer possibles)
by Salvador CotUn recorregut, de la mà del Salvador Cot, per deu fites històriques on el poble unit marca un camí, un nou camí que tu també has fet possible. El 13 de setembre de 2009, unes dues mil cinc-centes persones passaven per una única urna a Arenys de Munt. Pocs dies més tard, el torero José Tomás triomfava a la Monumental de Barcelona. Era l'època del boicot al cava, a Espanya, amb un domini aclaparador dels vins de la Rioja al mercat interior català... Una Catalunya diferent a la d'ara amb, només, 21 diputats independentistes al Parlament que donaven suport a José Montilla. Ha passat una dècada llarga i Catalunya no és una república, això és cert. Però és molt més independent que a l'inici d'aquesta aventura política, econòmica i social. No hem guanyat, però tampoc no hem perdut. I en el caseller hi tenim victòries importants i permanents.
L'État néopatrimonial: Genèse et trajectoires contemporaines (Études en développement international et mondialisation)
by Daniel C. Bach et Mamoudou GaziboUne étude approfondie du néopatrimonialisme en Afrique et ailleurs. Pourquoi le néopatrimonialisme est-il si fréquemment utilisé pour caractériser les systèmes politiques Africains ? Les pratiques auxquelles renvoie cette notion, qu’il s’agisse du clientélisme, de la corruption ou de la privatisation de l’État, sont pourtant présentes dans la plupart des pays, qu’ils soient ou non Africains. Afin de répondre à ce paradoxe, L’État néopatrimonial propose une exploration théorique et comparative de la diversité des trajectoires et usages contemporains du concept. À partir d’une discussion des références initiales de Max Weber au patrimonialisme, les différentes contributions abordent le néopatrimonialisme dans ses rapports avec l’analyse de la démocratisation, des relations internationales, de la sociologie des conflits et de l’économie du développement. L’ouvrage renouvelle les débats sur le néopatrimonialisme en Afrique, tout en les élargissant également à l’Asie, l’Europe et l’Amérique latine à travers des études de cas. Publié en français
L'État rentier: Le cas de la Malaysia (Études en développement international et mondialisation)
by Isabelle BeaulieuLa stabilité de la Malaysia -- gouvernée depuis 1957 par le même parti politique -- n’est pas assurée, ni par les mécanismes de la démocratie libérale, ni par des traits culturels, mais par l’État rentier et ses institutions. Les États rentiers puisent la majeure partie de leurs revenus à l’étranger, sous forme de rentes —ces États sont redistributeurs et non pas extracteurs de ressources. Parce que leurs revenus ne proviennent pas de la taxation de la population, ils sont réputés autonomes et peu dépendants de la société dont ils sont issus. Cette étude compare les différentes périodes de l’histoire de la Malaysia, utilisant les indicateurs conventionnels pour classifier des États rentiers : les activités d’exportation, la structure de la taxation, les investissements publics et les choix gouvernementaux en matière de développement socio-économique, ainsi que le cadre législatif autoritaire. L’ouvrage analyse la stabilité politique du régime non-démocratique de la Malaysia. Cette analyse, qui puise à l’histoire du développement politique et économique, met en lumière la dynamique spécifique d’un État rentier. Publié en français

LBJ
by Randall WoodsFor almost forty years, the verdict on Lyndon Johnson's presidency has been reduced to a handful of harsh words: tragedy, betrayal, lost opportunity. Initially, historians focused on the Vietnam War and how that conflict derailed liberalism, tarnished the nation's reputation, wasted lives, and eventually even led to Watergate. More recently, Johnson has been excoriated in more personal terms: as a player of political hardball, as the product of machine-style corruption, as an opportunist, as a cruel husband and boss. In LBJ, Randall B. Woods, a distinguished historian of twentieth-century America and a son of Texas, offers a wholesale reappraisal and sweeping, authoritative account of the LBJ who has been lost under this baleful gaze. Woods understands the political landscape of the American South and the differences between personal failings and political principles. Thanks to the release of thousands of hours of LBJ's White House tapes, along with the declassification of tens of thousands of documents and interviews with key aides, Woods's LBJ brings crucial new evidence to bear on many key aspects of the man and the politician. As private conversations reveal, Johnson intentionally exaggerated his stereotype in many interviews, for reasons of both tactics and contempt. It is time to set the record straight. Woods's Johnson is a flawed but deeply sympathetic character. He was born into a family with a liberal Texas tradition of public service and a strong belief in the public good. He worked tirelessly, but not just for the sake of ambition. His approach to reform at home, and to fighting fascism and communism abroad, was motivated by the same ideals and based on a liberal Christian tradition that is often forgotten today. Vietnam turned into a tragedy, but it was part and parcel of Johnson's commitment to civil rights and antipoverty reforms. LBJ offers a fascinating new history of the political upheavals of the 1960s and a new way to understand the last great burst of liberalism in America. Johnson was a magnetic character, and his life was filled with fascinating stories and scenes. Through insights gained from interviews with his longtime secretary, his Secret Service detail, and his closest aides and confidants, Woods brings Johnson before us in vivid and unforgettable color.
LBJ & Mexican Americans: The Paradox of Power
by Julie Leininger PyciorAs he worked to build his Great Society, Lyndon Johnson often harkened back to his teaching days in the segregated "Mexican" school at Cotulla, Texas. <P><P>Recalling the poverty and prejudice that blighted his students' lives, Johnson declared, "It never occurred to me in my fondest dreams that I might have the chance to help the sons and daughters of those students and to help people like them all over this country. But now I do have that chance--and I'll let you in on a secret--I mean to use it." <P> This book explores the complex and sometimes contradictory relations between LBJ and Mexican Americans. Julie Pycior shows that Johnson's genuine desire to help Mexican Americans--and reap the political dividends--did not prevent him from allying himself with individuals and groups intent on thwarting Mexican Americans' organizing efforts. Not surprisingly, these actions elicited a wide range of response, from grateful loyalty to, in some cases, outright opposition. Mexican Americans' complicated relationship with LBJ influenced both their political development and his career with consequences that reverberated in society at large.

LBJ and Vietnam: A Different Kind of War (An Administrative History of the Johnson Presidency)
by George C. HerringDecades later, the Vietnam War remains a divisive memory for American society. Partisans on all sides still debate why the war was fought, how it could have been better fought, and whether it could have been won at all. <P><P> In this major study, a noted expert on the war brings a needed objectivity to these debates by examining dispassionately how and why President Lyndon Johnson and his administration conducted the war as they did. Drawing on a wealth of newly released documents from the LBJ Library, including the Tom Johnson notes from the influential Tuesday Lunch Group, George Herring discusses the concept of limited war and how it affected President Johnson's decision making, Johnson's relations with his military commanders, the administration's pacification program of 1965-1967, the management of public opinion, and the "fighting while negotiating" strategy pursued after the Tet Offensive in 1968.
