The European Handbook of Media Accountability (Routledge International Handbooks)
by Tobias Eberwein Susanne FenglerIn recent years, the Leveson Inquiry in Great Britain, as well as the EU High-Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism, have stirred heated debates about media accountability and media self-regulation across Europe. How responsible are journalists? How well-developed are infrastructures of media self-regulation in the different European countries? How much commitment to media accountability is there in the media industry – and how actively do media users become involved in the process of media criticism via social media? With contributions from leading scholars in the field of journalism and mass communication, this handbook brings together reports on the status quo of media accountability in all EU members states as well as key countries close to Europe, such as Turkey and Israel. Each chapter provides an up-to-date overview of media accountability structures as well as a synopsis of relevant research, exploring the role of media accountability instruments in each national setting, including both media self-regulation (such as codes of ethics, press councils, ombudspersons) and new instruments that involve audiences and stakeholder groups (such as media blogs and user comment systems). A theoretically informed, cross-national comparative analysis of the state of media accountability in contemporary Europe, this handbook constitutes an invaluable basis for further research and policy-making and will appeal to students and scholars of media studies and journalism, as well as policy-makers and practitioners.

Media Accountability in the Era of Post-Truth Politics: European Challenges and Perspectives (Routledge Studies in European Communication Research and Education)
by Tobias Eberwein Susanne Fengler Matthias KarmasinBringing together both leading international scholars and emerging academic talent, Media Accountability in the Era of Post-Truth Politics maps the current state of media accountability in Europe and provides fresh perspectives for future developments in media and communication fields. As the integrity of the international media landscape is challenged by far-reaching transformations and the rise of “fake news,” the need for a functional system of media regulation is greater than ever. This book addresses the pressing need to re-evaluate and redefine the notion of accountability in the fast-changing field of journalism and “information provision.” Using comparative research and empirical data, the book’s case studies address the notion of media accountability from various perspectives, considering political and societal change, economic, organisational and technological factors, and the changing role of media audiences. By collecting and juxtaposing these studies, the book provides a new discussion for the old question of how we can safeguard free and responsible media in Europe – a question that seems more urgent than ever. Media Accountability in the Era of Post-Truth Politics is an essential read for students and researchers in journalism, media and communication studies.
Responsibility and Resistance: Ethics in Mediatized Worlds (Ethik in mediatisierten Welten)
by Tobias Eberwein Matthias Karmasin Friedrich Krotz Matthias RathThe volume deals with the normative challenges and the ethical questions imposed by, and through, the developments and changes in everyday life, culture and society in the context of media change. It is thus concerned with the questions of whether and how the central concept of (enlightened) ethics must evolve under these premises – or in other words: what form do ethics take in mediatized societies? In order to address this question and to stimulate and initiate a debate, the authors focus on two concepts: responsibility and resistance. Their contributions try to shed light not only on the empirical shreds of evidence of change in mediatized societies, but also on the normative challenges and ethical possibilities of these developments.
Market or Mafia: Russian Managers on the Difficult Road Towards an Open Society (Routledge Revivals)
by Wilhelm Eberwein Jochen TholenFirst published in 1997 in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, this volume examines the situation of Russian managers in the transition to a more capitalist and democratic system. It asks whether a country of eleven time zones, extreme climatic conditions from arctic temperatures to dry stone and sand deserts, with more than a hundred nationalities and limited experience with liberal ideas and concepts or with civil-democratic traditions can be ruled in a modern world. The differences between ‘Westies’ and ‘Slavophiles’ only complicate its situation further. Further still, the authors note significant similarities between notions of national betrayal related to the withdrawal of the victorious Red Army from Central and Eastern Europe and attitudes in 1920s Germany towards World War I. The immense responsibility carried by the company directors, entrepreneurs and managers of Russia for the future of their country is the focus of this book. It follows two other volumes on Germany (1990) and an Anglo-German comparison related to Western European integration (1993).

The Europeanisation of Industrial Relations: National and European Processes in Germany, UK, Italy and France (Routledge Revivals)
by Wilhelm Eberwein Jochen Tholen Joachim SchusterThis title was first published in 2002: Although the economic integration of the European Union is far-advanced, its social dimension remains under-developed. Often there is uncertainty about, and lack of information on, the economic, social and legal situation of employees in the other EU countries. This study investigates this situation. It acknowledges the term "Europeanization" as being in no way clearly defined, but offers an interpretation of the Europeanization of industrial relations as a socio-political process, with the main focus the change within the plant and organization. Industrial relations in Germany are used as a point of reference against which selected aspects of industrial relations in France, the UK, and Italy are compared and contrasted. Specific areas of study include: workplace and company organization; collective bargaining; trade unions and employers' associations; and government regulations and legislative standardization.

Politische Stabilität und Konflikt: Neue Ergebnisse der makroquantitativen Politikforschung (Politische Vierteljahresschrift Sonderhefte #14/1983)
by Wolf-Dieter Eberwein
Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Governance: A Sub-Saharan African Perspective (Sustainable Development Goals Series)
by Eromose E. Ebhuoma Llewellyn LeonardThis book investigates indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) in sub-Saharan Africa, thereby highlighting its role in facilitating adaptation to climate variability and change, and also demystifying the challenges that prevent it from being integrated with scientific knowledge in climate governance schemes. Indigenous people and their priceless knowledge rarely feature when decision-makers prepare for future climate change. This book showcases how Indigenous knowledge facilitates adaptation to climate change, including how collaborations with scientific knowledge have cascaded into building people’s resilience to climatic risks. This book also pays delicate attention to the factors fueling epistemic injustice towards Indigenous knowledge, which hampers it from featuring in climate governance schemes across sub-Saharan Africa. The key insights shared in this book illuminate the issues that contribute meaningfully towards the actualisation of the UN SDG 13 and promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in sub-Saharan Africa.
U.S.-Japanese Energy Relations: Cooperation And Competition
by Charles EbingerOriginally published in 1984, this collection of original papers highlights the major problems and challenges that lie ahead in U.S.-Japanese energy relations. Energy cooperation, both through joint projects and bilateral planning, has become an important barometer of the U.S. diplomatic relationship with Japan, as evidenced by the high-level U.S.-Japan Energy Working Group set up in January 1984 following Prime Minister Nakasone's visit to Washington. Contributions to this book detail the problems posed by energy security differences and uncertain oil markets; U.S. crude oil exports to Japan; and nuclear, coal solar-energy; and they consider the prospects for conflict over investment in Siberia and Asia

The Future of Man: Proceedings of a Symposium Held at the Royal Geographical Society, London, on 1 April, 1971
by F. J. Ebling G. W. HeathThe Future of Man documents the proceedings of a Symposium held at the Royal Geographical Society London, on April 1, 1971.This book deals with choices that man makes or may make, attempting to understand the paradox that the more man knows about himself and the environment the more baffling and controversial his choices become. The major problems of human survival, such as living space, natural resources, relationships with the rest of the living world, and creation, nurture and prolongation of life are also described. Other topics include the past and future distribution of homo sapiens and his activities in Great Britain, artificial synthesis of new life forms in relation to social and industrial evolution, and nature and control of aging.This compilation is recommended for biologists and scientists aiming to understand the effects of technical innovation on people and their environment.
Hollywood's Image of the South: A Century of Southern Films (Bibliographies and Indexes in the Performing Arts)
by David Ebner Larry LangmanFrom the 1920s and 1930s, when American cinema depicted the South as a demi-paradise populated by wealthy landowners, glamorous belles, and happy slaves, through later, more realistic depictions of the region in films based on works by Erskine Caldwell, Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner, and Robert Penn Warren, Hollywood's view of the South has been as ever-changing as the place itself. This comprehensive reference guide to Southern films offers credits, plot descriptions, and analyses of how the stereotypes and characterizations in each film contribute to our understanding of a most contentious American time and place.Organized by subjects including Economic Conditions, Plantation Life, The Ku Klux Klan, and The New Politics, Hollywood's Image of the South seeks to coin a new genre by describing its conventions and attitudes. Even so, the Southern film crosses all known generic boundaries, including the comedy, the women's film, the noir, and many others. This invaluable guide to an under-recognized category of American cinema illustrates how much there is to learn about a time and place from watching the movies that aim to capture it.
Die Zeit des politischen Entscheidens: Zwischen medialer Unmittelbarkeit und institutioneller Lähmung
by Elke EbnerDass es im Zeitalter der Massenmedien keine Zeit mehr für tiefgreifende politische Lösungen gibt, ist ein beliebter Topos postmodernen Denkens. Mit dieser Einschätzung kollidiert die Beobachtung, dass politische Entscheidungen in Deutschland nur in großen Zeiträumen getroffen werden. Bei all dem herrscht Unklarheit darüber, wie die Zeit der Politik näher beschrieben werden kann. Wer oder was generiert denn eigentlich die Zeit politischen Entscheidens? Die Betrachtung der Institutionen und Verfahren, die für die Gesetzgebung zwingend sind, verspricht Aufschluss: Wie die politischen Organisationsstrukturen die zeitlichen Abläufe der Gesetzgebung bestimmen, kann am Beispiel der Gesundheitsreform sowie an der Einführung der Pflegeversicherung und der deutsch-deutschen Währungsunion gezeigt werden.
Tradition ohne Vergangenheit: Zur sozialen Neudefinition von alpinen Maskenbräuchen (Figurationen. Schriften zur Zivilisations- und Prozesstheorie #13)
by Johannes EbnerJohannes Ebner untersucht, weshalb Brauchtumsfeste, Trachten und Volksmusik einen Boom erleben, auf welche gesellschaftlichen Probleme und Bedürfnisse dies hinweist und warum einige Bräuche sich als Identifikationsobjekt für breite soziale Schichten besser eignen als andere. In seiner materialreichen Studie analysiert er den Brauchtumsboom einerseits als Teil langfristiger gesellschaftlicher Prozesse und beleuchtet ihn andererseits aus der Perspektive der beteiligten sozialen Gruppen. Dadurch eröffnen sich überraschende Perspektiven auf aktuelle Problemlagen: von sich verschiebenden Machtbalancen zwischen Etablierten und Außenseitern über ethnisch definierte Grenzziehungen bis zu den prekären Lebenswelten der vielzitierten ‚Globalisierungsverlierer‘.
The Rage: The Vicious Circle of Islamist and Far-Right Extremism
by Julia EbnerThe early twenty-first century has been defined by a rise in Islamist radicalisation and a concurrent rise in far right extremism. This book explores the interaction between the 'new' far right and Islamist extremists and considers the consequences for the global terror threat. Julia Ebner argues that far right and Islamist extremist narratives – 'The West is at war with Islam' and 'Muslims are at war with the West' - complement each other perfectly, making the two extremes rhetorical allies and building a spiralling torrent of hatred - 'The Rage'. By looking at extremist movements both online and offline, she shows how far right and Islamist extremists have succeeded in penetrating each other's echo chambers as a result of their mutually useful messages. Based on first-hand interviews, this book introduces readers to the world of reciprocal radicalisation and the hotbeds of extremism that have developed – with potentially disastrous consequences - in the UK, Europe and the US.
Die Entgrenzung von Kindheit in der Mediengesellschaft: Kinder zwischen Talentförderung, Leistungsdruck und wirtschaftlichen Interessen
by Astrid Ebner-ZarlAstrid Ebner-Zarl unterzieht in ihrer Arbeit die These der „Entgrenzung von Kindheit“ einer eingehenden Untersuchung. Mit speziellem Fokus auf das Aufwachsen von Kindern in einer Mediengesellschaft entwickelt sie einen Beitrag zu der bislang fehlenden theoretischen Verankerung der Entgrenzungsdiagnose, und schafft dadurch ein Überblickswerk der neuen Kindheitssoziologie: Auf knapp 600 Seiten führt Astrid Ebner-Zarl die verstreuten Einzelergebnisse aus der Literatur zur Ausgestaltung von Kindheit in Geschichte und Gegenwart zusammen, verbindet sie mit theoretischen Konzepten der interdisziplinären Kindheitsforschung und vertieft sie mit einer eigenen empirischen Erhebung, der Analyse von Kindheitsbildern in den Castings Shows The Voice Kids und Kiddy Contest. Um dies zu ermöglichen, entwickelt Ebner-Zarl Auswertungstechniken für audiovisuelles Material weiter und entwirft ein auf diesen Materialtypus abgestimmtes Codiersystem. Mediatisierung, Kommerzialisierung, Sexualisierung sowie Leistungsorientierung erweisen sich theoretisch wie empirisch als prägende Elemente von Gegenwartskindheit, aber auch von Gegenwartsgesellschaft im Allgemeinen. Diese Trends sowie nicht zuletzt der soziale Konstruktionscharakter von Kindheit führen zur Erkenntnis, dass Entgrenzung von Kindheit nicht ohne die Zeitgenossenschaft von Kindern und Erwachsenen gedacht werden kann.
Cyberghetto or Cybertopia?: Race, Class, and Gender on the Internet (Non-ser.)
by Bosah EboComputer-mediated communication and cyberculture are dramatically changing the nature of social relationships. Whether cyberspace will simply retain vestiges of traditional communities with hierarchical social links and class-structured relationships or create new egalitarian social networks remains an open question. The chapters in this volume examine the issue of social justice on the Internet by using a variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives.Political scientists, sociologists, and communications and information systems scholars address issues of race, class, and gender on the Internet in chapters that do not assume any specialized training in computer technology.
Kopftuch (Wiener Beiträge zur Islamforschung)
by Ranja Ebrahim Ulvi KaragedikDer Konferenzband diskutiert aus interdisziplinären Perspektiven das Kopftuch im Kontext von Verbotsdebatten im deutschsprachigen Raum und möglichen Konsequenzen für das gesellschaftliche Miteinander.

by H. EbrahimnejadThis book traces how medicine in modern Iran was both theoretically and institutionally transformed in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Women and the Family in Chinese History (Asia's Transformations/Critical Asian Scholarship)
by Patricia EbreyThis is a collection of essays by one of the leading scholars of Chinese history, Patricia Buckley. In the essays she has selected for this fascinating volume, Professor Ebrey explores features of the Chinese family, gender and kinship systems as practices and ideas intimately connected to history and therefore subject to change over time. The essays cover topics ranging from dowries and the sale of women into forced concubinary, to the excesses of the imperial harem, excruciating pain of footbinding, and Confucian ideas of womanly virtue.Patricia Ebrey places these sociological analyses of women within the family in an historical context, analysing the development of the wider kinship system. Her work provides an overview of the early modern period, with a specific focus on the Song period (920-1276), a time of marked social and cultural change, and considered to be the beginning of the modern period in Chinese history.With its wide-ranging examination of issues relating to women and the family, this book will be essential reading to scholars of Chinese history and gender studies.
