This book was released on 2016 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seinem neuen Werk interpretiert der Autor die Europäische Union vollständig neu und sagt ihr im Gegensatz zu den Erwartungen vieler ein langes Leben und ihrem System eine weltweite Verbreitung voraus. Er begründet dies damit, dass eine sich globalisierende Welt die Gründung vieler "Staaten-Unionen" als conditio sine qua non erfordert, um, soweit das überhaupt menschenmöglich ist, eine den Frieden sichernde und Wohlstand für alle anstrebende Weltordnung zu stiften.
Book Synopsis The Capital: A Novel by : Robert Menasse
Download or read book The Capital: A Novel written by Robert Menasse and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the German Book Prize, The Capital is an “omniscient, almost Balzac-ian” (Steven Erlanger, New York Times) panorama of splintered Europe. A highly inventive novel of ideas written in the rich European tradition, The Capital—epic in scope, but so particular in details—transports readers to the cobblestoned streets of twenty-first-century Brussels. Chosen as the European Union’s symbolic capital in 1958 for no reason other than Belgium coming first alphabetically, this elusive setting has never been examined so intricately in literature. Here, in Robert Menasse’s “great EU novel” (Politico), tragic heroes, clever schemers, and involuntary accomplices play out the effects of a fiercely nationalistic “union.” Recalling the Balzacian conceit of assembling a vast parade of characters whose lives conspire to form a driving central plot, Menasse adapts this technique with modern sensibility to reveal the hastily assembled capital in all of its eccentricities. We meet, among others, Fenia Xenopoulou, a Greek Cypriot recently “promoted” to the Directorate-General for Culture. When tasked with revamping the boring image of the European Commission with the Big Jubilee Project, she endorses her Austrian assistant Martin Sussman’s idea to proclaim Auschwitz as its birthplace—of course, to the horror of the other nation states. Meanwhile, Inspector Émile Brunfaut attempts to solve a gritty murder being suppressed at the highest level; Matek, a Polish hitman who regrets having never become a priest, scrambles after taking out the wrong man; and outraged pig farmers protest trade restrictions as a brave escapee squeals through the streets. These narratives and more are masterfully woven, revealing the absurdities—and real dangers—of a fracturing Europe. A tour de force from one of Austria’s most esteemed novelists, The Capital is a mordantly funny and piercingly urgent saga of the European Union, and an aerial feat of sublime world literature.

Book Synopsis Freiheit, ach Freiheit ... by : Zsuzsa Breier
Download or read book Freiheit, ach Freiheit ... written by Zsuzsa Breier and published by Wallstein Verlag. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 20 Jahre nach dem Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs: Europa, Freiheit und Diktatur aus prominenten Perspektiven. Ja, es gab keine Bananen und man wäre gerne Golf gefahren. Und doch war es etwas anderes, das Osteuropa nach 40 Jahren kommunistischer Diktatur in die Demokratie katapultierte. Es war die Sehnsucht nach Freiheit, die 40 Jahre kommunistische Gewaltherrschaft bei Millionen von Menschen nicht hatte unterdrücken können. Der Sturz gelang 1989 - zu einem Zeitpunkt, als viele in Ost und West sich längst mit den kommunistischen Diktaturen und mit sowjetischer Fremdherrschaft arrangiert hatten. Für viele Außenstehende überraschend, für die Beteiligten nur konsequent, fiel der Eiserne Vorhang, und die Europäer vereinten sich in Freiheit und Demokratie. Was ist 20 Jahre später von dem beflügelnden Befreiungs- und Vereinigungsglück geblieben? Sind die Trümmer des gestürzten Systems beseitigt? Hat die Erfahrung des Ostblocks mit der kommunistischen Diktatur Eingang gefunden in das gegenwärtige Denken über Europa? Was bedeuten Freiheit und Diktatur für Westeuropäer, was für Osteuropäer? Mit Beiträgen u.a. von: Anne Applebaum, Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, Marianne Birthler, Stéphane Courtois, Joachim Gauck, Sandra Kalniete, Ivan Krastev, Mart Laar, Horst Möller, Wolfgang Schäuble, Karl Schlögel.

Book Synopsis The Sociology of Space by : Martina Löw
Download or read book The Sociology of Space written by Martina Löw and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the author develops a relational concept of space that encompasses social structure, the material world of objects and bodies, and the symbolic dimension of the social world. Löw’s guiding principle is the assumption that space emerges in the interplay between objects, structures and actions. Based on a critical discussion of classic theories of space, Löw develops a new dynamic theory of space that accounts for the relational context in which space is constituted. This innovative view on the interdependency of material, social, and symbolic dimensions of space also permits a new perspective on architecture and urban development.

Book Synopsis Turkey, Migration and the EU by : Seçil Paçacı Elitok
Download or read book Turkey, Migration and the EU written by Seçil Paçacı Elitok and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of Turkey's accession to the EU, the issue of potential migration from Turkey and its impact upon European labor markets became one of the concerns of the EU, considering Turkey's growing population and young labor force. In 2011, half a century after the bi-lateral agreement between Turkey and Germany on labor recruitment in 1961, migration plays a key role in relations of Turkey with the EU and will even increase its significance - not necessarily for the next fifty years but certainly for the next decade. This book touches upon various aspects of the ongoing debate about the effects of Turkey's accession to the EU upon the migration flows and sheds light on various dimensions of current panorama, addresses policy implications as well as future challenges and opportunities.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of European Legal History by : Heikki Pihlajamäki
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of European Legal History written by Heikki Pihlajamäki and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 1217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European law, including both civil law and common law, has gone through several major phases of expansion in the world. European legal history thus also is a history of legal transplants and cultural borrowings, which national legal histories as products of nineteenth-century historicism have until recently largely left unconsidered. The Handbook of European Legal History supplies its readers with an overview of the different phases of European legal history in the light of today's state-of-the-art research, by offering cutting-edge views on research questions currently emerging in international discussions. The Handbook takes a broad approach to its subject matter both nationally and systemically. Unlike traditional European legal histories, which tend to concentrate on "heartlands" of Europe (notably Italy and Germany), the Europe of the Handbook is more versatile and nuanced, taking into consideration the legal developments in Europe's geographical "fringes" such as Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The Handbook covers all major time periods, from the ancient Greek law to the twenty-first century. Contributors include acknowledged leaders in the field as well as rising talents, representing a wide range of legal systems, methodologies, areas of expertise and research agendas.
Book Synopsis The Democratization of Artificial Intelligence by : Andreas Sudmann
Download or read book The Democratization of Artificial Intelligence written by Andreas Sudmann and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a long time of neglect, Artificial Intelligence is once again at the center of most of our political, economic, and socio-cultural debates. Recent advances in the field of Artifical Neural Networks have led to a renaissance of dystopian and utopian speculations on an AI-rendered future. Algorithmic technologies are deployed for identifying potential terrorists through vast surveillance networks, for producing sentencing guidelines and recidivism risk profiles in criminal justice systems, for demographic and psychographic targeting of bodies for advertising or propaganda, and more generally for automating the analysis of language, text, and images. Against this background, the aim of this book is to discuss the heterogenous conditions, implications, and effects of modern AI and Internet technologies in terms of their political dimension: What does it mean to critically investigate efforts of net politics in the age of machine learning algorithms?
Download or read book Kraft written by Jonas Lüscher and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonas Lüscher, the author of Barbarian Spring—“a most humorous and convincing satire of the ridiculous excesses of those responsible for the financial crisis” (The New York Times Book Review)—returns to the topic of neoliberal arrogance in his Swiss Book Prize-winning, hilarious, and wicked novel about a man facing the ruins of his life, and his world. Richard Kraft, a German professor of rhetoric and aging Reaganite and Knight Rider fan, is unhappily married and badly in debt. He sees no way out of his rut until he is invited to participate in a competition to be held in California and sponsored by a Silicon Valley tycoon and “techno-optimist.” The contest is to answer a literal “million-dollar question”: each competitor must compose an eighteen-minute lecture on why our world is still, despite all evidence, the best of all possible worlds, and how we might improve it even further through technology. Entering into a surreal American landscape, Kraft soon finds what’s left of his life falling to pieces as he struggles to justify as “best” a planet in the hands of such blithe neoliberal cupidity as he encounters on his odyssey to California. Still, with the prize money in his pocket, perhaps Kraft could finally buy his way to a new life . . . But what contortions—physical and philosophical—will he have to subject himself to in order to claim it? Jonas Lüscher's second novel, Kraft, is a hilarious and wicked tale about a man facing the ruins of his life, and his world.
Book Synopsis Moving Forward, Looking Back by : Malte Hagener
Download or read book Moving Forward, Looking Back written by Malte Hagener and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first full critical overview of the film avant-garde, ushers in a new approach—and in the process creates its own subject. While many books have studied particular aspects of the European film avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s, Moving Forward, Looking Back provides a much-needed summary of the theory and practice of the movement, while also emphasizing aspects of the period that have been overlooked. Arguing that a European perspective is the only way to understand the transnational movement, the book also pioneers a new approach to the alternative cinema network that sustained the avant-garde, paying particular attention to the emergence of film culture as visible in screening clubs, film festivals, and archives. It will be essential to anyone interested in the influential movement and the film culture it created.
