Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Jura - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Universitat Hamburg (Universitat Hamburg), Veranstaltung: offentliche Sozialrecht, 24 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In allen Epochen in der Entwicklung der modernen menschlichen Gesellschaft gibt es den historischen Nachweis, dass ein bestimmter Personenkreis im Auftrag des Herrschers bzw. spater des Staates Aufgaben der Verwaltung, Aufrechterhaltung der Ordnung (Polizei) und Rechtssprechung auch in Zeiten von Kriegsereignissen, Naturkatastrophen oder anderen wirtschaftlichen bzw. sozialen Erschutterungen des Staates durch ihre loyale Haltung zum Staat garantierten, dass die wichtigsten Funktionen eines Staates trotz der Geschehnisse weiter aufrechterhalten werden konnten. Der Soziologe Max Weber unterscheidet deshalb zwischen patrimonialen Beamten, die im wesentlichen dem jeweiligen Herrscher verpflichtet waren und den burokratischen Beamten, die fest umrissenen Kompetenzen haben und an den Staat gebunden sind. Im griechischen Staatswesen wurde erstmals festgestellt, dass Gesetze von Burgern geschaffen werden und bestimmten sozialen Zielen dienen - damit wurde erstmals die Bedeutung von Gesetzen als Regelmechanismus im Staat formuliert.
Book Synopsis Military Expansion, Economic Decline by : R.W. DeGrasse
Download or read book Military Expansion, Economic Decline written by R.W. DeGrasse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By assessing the costs and benefits of military spending, the authors provide a "second opinion" on the subject of military economics. While advocates of increased military spending often stress the positive effects of the Pentagon on the economy, there has been little systematic summary of the "opportunity costs" that society pays for a large military establishment. This book fills that gap.

Book Synopsis Defense Spending And Economic Growth by : James E. Payne
Download or read book Defense Spending And Economic Growth written by James E. Payne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact defense spending has on economic growth. While defense spending was not deliberately invented as a fiscal policy instrument, its importance in the composition of overall government spending and thus in determining employment is now easily recognized. In light of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the consequent reduction in the threat to the security of the United States, maintaining defense spending at the old level seems indefensible. The media has concentrated on the so-called peace dividend. However, as soon as the federal government is faced with defense cuts, it realizes the macroeconomic ramifications of such a step. Based on studies included in this volume, we examine the effects of defense spending on economic growth and investigate how the changed world political climate is likely to alter the importance and pattern of defense spending both for developed and developing countries.
Book Synopsis Swords Into Dow Shares by : Rachel Weber
Download or read book Swords Into Dow Shares written by Rachel Weber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary legal doctrine holds that corporate managers have obligations, first and foremost, to maximize profits for their shareholders. This doctrine is based on the assumption that shareholders alone bear the financial risks and contribute the equity necessary for production. But what if other groups contribute assets and also risk losing their investments? What if other groups actually shelter shareholders from financial risks? Such is the case with the nation's prime defense contractors. By examining the case of defense contracting, where the federal government and, indirectly, the taxpayers assume most of the risks and costs of producing weaponry, Rachel Weber critiques the assumptions underlying our system of corporate governance.The Department of Defense provides contracts for billions of dollars, specialized components and facilities, interest subsidies, tax breaks, and regulatory relief. These public contributions make the record shareholder returns and executive compensation packages of the early 1990s all the more problematic. This book follows the case of General Dynamics, the nation's largest military shipbuilder and considered a trendsetter in the industry for its explicit shareholder orientation. The behavior of contractors like General Dynamics in the post-Cold War period raises serious concerns about the private stewardship of public funds. How can the government make contractors accountable to other public interests? In Swords into Dow Shares Rachel Weber offers some original suggestions for redirecting defense resources to foster innovation, decrease the tax burden of military spending, and help to retain and create high-wage jobs in a civilian-industrial economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume offers a definitive new history of European economies at war from 1914 to 1918. It studies how European economies mobilised for war, how existing economic institutions stood up under the strain, how economic development influenced outcomes and how wartime experience influenced post-war economic growth. Leading international experts provide the first systematic comparison of economies at war between 1914 and 1918 based on the best available data for Britain, Germany, France, Russia, the USA, Italy, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and the Netherlands. The editors' overview draws some stark lessons about the role of economic development, the importance of markets and the damage done by nationalism and protectionism. A companion volume to the acclaimed The Economics of World War II, this is a major contribution to our understanding of total war.
