Konsolidierung zwischen Markt und Staat: Die Bedeutung der Arbeitsbeziehungen für die Demokratisierung in Spanien und Ungarn (Forschung Politik #49)
by Katrin SellDas Buch untersucht anhand von je vier Beispielen der Konfliktverregelung den Beitrag der Arbeitsbeziehungen zur Konsolidierung neuer Demokratien in Spanien und Ungarn. Angesichts der notwendigen Gleichzeitigkeit politischer und ökonomischer Reformen in den meisten neuen Demokratien sind an der Schnittstelle zwischen Markt und Staat funktionsfähige Mechanismen der Konfliktverregelung zur Konsolidierung notwendig. Daher wird die Bedeutung der Arbeitsbeziehungen in diesem Prozeß am Beispiel von Spanien und Ungarn vergleichend untersucht, um so Institutionalisierungsmodi herauszuarbeiten, die als erfolgreiche Konsolidierungsstrategien verallgemeinert werden können. Zur Beantwortung der These, daß neo-korporatistische Arrangements die Konfliktverregelung fördern, werden Entstehung und Funktionieren der Arbeitnehmer- und Arbeitgeberverbände sowie ihrer Regeln und Routinen der Interaktion analysiert, Typen der Institutionenbildung identifiziert und ihre jeweilige Fähigkeit zur Konfliktverregelung anhand verschiedener Fallbeispiele überprüft.

The Kray Files: The True Story of Britain's Most Notorious Murderers
by Colin FryWhen Ron and Reg Kray were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1968, most people thought that was the last they'd hear of two of the most notorious and vicious criminals Britain has ever produced. Instead, the twins and their evil doings have since achieved almost iconic status. Simultaneously, they have become 'Ronnie and Reggie', cuddly Robin Hood characters, little more than a couple of bad lads who loved their mum. The Kray Files is an explosive investigative work which strips away the myths that have grown up around the brothers. It examines why the twins were put away, the true extent of their crimes and the truth about the last 30 years, which Ron and Reg spent at the expense of the country while making a quiet fortune through duplicitous dealings from behind bars. It looks at why their brother Charlie turned to drugs as his only way out of a life of deprivation and misery, and tries to discover the reason why some women have found the Krays fatally attractive. For the first time ever, The Kray Files goes behind the scenes, painting a vivid picture of the brothers' world through psychological profiling, studying the sociology of the East End of London with the help of academics, and investigating the violent legacy the brothers have left behind.
Kriminalität: Gefährdungen der Inneren Sicherheit? (Analysen #66)
by Bernhard FrevelDer Zustand der Inneren Sicherheit und die Entwicklung der Kriminalität sind fast ständig Themen der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Diskussion: ob Sorge um die Jugendkriminalität oder Abscheu vor Sexualdelikten, Befürchtungen um die Organisierte Kriminalität oder Angst vor international agierenden Banden - die Themenpalette ist vielseitig. In diesem Analysen-Band wird die Kriminalitätslage in Deutschland betrachtet, wird der Zusammenhang von gesellschaftlichem Wandel und Kriminalität aufgezeigt und ein Blick auf die subjektive Dimension der Kriminalität, das Sicherheitsgefühl der Bevölkerung, gerichtet. Ziel des Buches ist es, die Vielseitigkeit des Problems "Kriminalität" aufzuzeigen und mit sozialwissenschaftlich geprägten Betrachtungen einen sachlich orientierten Zugang zu dem die Gemüter erhitzenden Thema zu ermöglichen.

Kultur — Medien — Macht: Cultural Studies und Medienanalyse (Medien • Kultur • Kommunikation)
by Andreas Hepp Rainer WinterIn den letzten Jahren haben sich die Cultural Studies innerhalb des anglo-amerikanischen Raumes zu einem wichtigen Ansatz der Medienforschung entwickelt. Mit dem nun in der erweiterten, zweiten Auflage erschienenen Sammelband "Kultur - Medien - Macht. Cultural Studies und Medienwissenschaft" sollen einerseits grundlegende Konzepte der Cultural Studies vorgestellt, andererseits anhand exemplarischer Analysen das Potential dieses An-satzes aufgezeigt werden. Hierzu werden wichtige Texte von Ien Ang, John Fiske und La-wrence Grossberg erstmals in einer deutschen Übersetzung zugänglich gemacht. Daneben enthält der Sammelband Artikel zur Formierung der Cultural Studies, der Rezeption des Cultural Studies-Ansatzes im deutschsprachigen Raum - sowohl im wissenschaftlichen Bereich als auch in populärkulturellen Magazinen - und eine Vielzahl von kulturwissen-schaftlichen Analysen der Fernseh-, Zeitungs- und Netzkommunikation.
Kulturen des Kompromisses
by Martin GreiffenhagenDas Buch beschreibt einen Paradigmenwechsel des Kompromißthemas: Aus bloßen Strategien wird eine Lebensform. Gründe für diesen Wandel entwickelt der Autor sowohl in weltgeschichtlicher wie zeitgeschichtlicher Sicht. Vor dem historischen Hintergrund deutschen Schwarz-Weiß-Denkens bis 1945 werden Grundstrukturen des Kompromißhandelns entwickelt. Die Quellen dafür reichen teilweise hinter das erste Auftreten des homo sapiens zurück: als elementare Erfahrungen von Reziprozität und Kooperation, sozialem Vertrauen und einem in gemeinsamer Herkunft und Zukunft gründenden Zeitbewußtsein. Das Buch stellt unterschiedliche Kompromißkulturen der Menschheitsgeschichte vor, unter jeweils neuen Bedingungen, Chancen und Einschränkungen. Für die Gegenwart nimmt Greiffenhagen einen Paradigmenwechsel des Kompromißthemas an: Aus einem Arsenal von Klugheitsregeln allseitigen Nachgebens entwickelt sich ein Stil kooperativen Verhaltens. An Beispielen neuer Kompromißformen beschreibt der Autor diesen Wandel.

The Labors of Sisyphus: Economic Development of Communist China
by Joan RolandAlmost a half century has passed since the inception of the People's Republic cf China. In that time a charismatic leader has ruled and died, leaving a wake of .Destruction in his quest to transform China. In that time, too, the PRC's most powerful ally and mentor, the Soviet Union, has dismantled and announced that jcmmunism had failed. Today, China fluctuates between tradition and modernity, ideology and pragmatism, between an antiquated collectivist ethic and a new spirit rf individualism. It is a country precariously suspended between past and future. Maria Hsia Chang's The Labors of Sisyphus is a long overdue reassessment of rie meaning and purpose of the Chinese communist revolution. In it, she discusses ihe thought of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, reform and its dilemmas, regionalism in greater China and autonomous areas, and nationalism. She also eyjnines China's immediate present and uncertain future. If it manages to transform economic growth into development, China--filled with natural resources and a large, capable labor force--has the potential to become a world superpower. It could also collapse under the weight of its own problems: regionalism, a flawed state sector, corruption, and a pronounced decline in state capacity. If China succeeds, an imposing new economic power will enter the global stage, one that is often arbitrary and prone to despotism and xenophobia, unless it is tempered by political reform. Prior accounts of communist China have failed to capture China's evolving present In all its complexity and variety, misrepresenting Maoist China In the process. Information shortfall was partly to blame: as recently as August 1994, the Chinese government itself decried falsification of statistics by government officials and cadres. Sinologists in the 1960s and 1970s had to approach analysis of contemporary China with clear recognition of the limitations involved and the questionable validity of the factual sources available. Maria Hsia Chang lends structure, meaning, and purpose to the very complex recent political and historical past of communist China. With greater access to more accurate information, Chang is able to analyze objectively, without political motive or intention, providing readers with a fresh look at the People's Republic. Her pathbreaking work will be of interest to scholars of international economics and politics, sinologists, and historians.

Länger erwerbstätig — aber wie?: Mit einer Einführung von Gerhard Naegele und Winfried Schmähl
by Johann Behrens Martina Morschhäuser Holger Viebrok Eberhard ZimmermannDie Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitnehmerinnen sollen zukünftig länger erwerbstätig sein. Die gesetzliche Anhebung der Altersgrenze zum Renteneintritt und finanzielle Verschlechterung bei einem frühzeitigen Berufsausstieg bewirken jedoch nicht, daß die Beschäftigten auch länger arbeiten können. Die Arbeits- und Beschäftigungsbedingungen, die Erwerbsverläufe, die Arbeitszeit und die Arbeitsanforderungen müßten auch entsprechend "altersgerecht" organisiert und gestaltet werden. Welche Konzepte und Vorstellungen gibt es dazu? Und wie ist es um die Möglichkeiten bestellt, diese in der betrieblichen Praxis umzusetzen? An welche Voraussetzungen und finanzielle Rahmenbedingungen sind sie geknüpft? Diesen Fragen gehen die Autoren anhand konkreter betrieblicher Beispiele nach, so daß die Chancen einer altersorientierten Arbeits- und Beschäftigungspolitik, aber auch die Widerstände und die zu überwindenden Barrieren in den Unternehmen deutlich werden.

The Law of the Lifegivers: The Domestication of Desire
by Claude Brodeur René DevischAfrican societies are gifted with a rich creativity, often expressed in intimate corporeal terms. For the Yaka people of southwestern Congo, such manifestations can have individual, social, or even cosmic significance. The Law of the Lifegivers investigates the importance among the Yaka of body and space in their daily life, exercise of power, and initiatic traditions. Through this analysis, Devisch and Brodeur show that body, desire, and symbol are intertwined, so that bodily expression can act as sensuous and powerful symbol. The domestication of passion and the institutionalizing of a subject are all expressed in bodily terms, particularly during initiations; the ethical order of law rests on many bodily symbols, including the importance of maternal and paternal lifegivers. The authors vividly describe the different life-giving or life-threatening roles which function in this society, such as sorcerer, diviner, therapist, and chief, as well as the funeral drama which shapes the passage to the afterlife with the ancestors, as experienced by the dying subject and his community. Through their dialogue and correspondence, Devisch and Brodeur (an anthropologist and a psychoanalyst, respectively) bring together two, sometimes conflicting, intellectual approaches. They aim to unravel a truth which is freed, as much as possible, from the presumption that only the West possesses the knowledge of objective discourse and science. Through the interaction, the authors reveal the semantic threads, located at the very heart of the most vital, life-giving processes, which weave the fabric of the practice and thought of a riveting, passionate Africa.
