Vertraute Fremde
Integrationskonflikte bilden einen Teil alltäglicher Erfahrungswelt von Individuen in heutigenGesellschaften. Diese im japanisch-deutschen Vergleich angesetzte Studie geht daher der Frage nach, wie ihnen Akzeptanz als konstruktiver Umgang mit diesen Konflikten gelingen kann. Sie setzt dazu Interviewaussagen in Beziehung zu Strukturen migrations- und integrationspolitischer Steuerung auf nationaler und kommunaler Ebene. Dabei zeigte sich ein überraschend geringer Einfluss politischer Steuerung. Vielmehr konstruierten die Befragten subjektiv definierte “Vertraute Fremde,” auf die sie ihre Akzeptanz beschränkten. Der subjektive Charakter dieser Exklusivität verweist im Ausblick auf das Potential biografischer Diversität zur Förderung sozialer Inklusion.
Creative Flow
A manual of new and helpful ways to best express your creativity, break through creative blocks, and improve your flow. For fans of The Artist's Way and Steal Like an Artist, this colorful little manual solves a common problem—"Why can't I be as creative as I want to? Why can't I make better art and craft work?" Readers begin with a questionnaire "What Type of Creative Are You?," and then receive advice tailored to their answer. Contains 40 prescriptions for boosting creativity including Brainwriting (making a to-do list, drawing an idea sketch, and recording your ideas to get started) Bullet Journal (a calendar-based plan of action), Idea Box (collecting things that inspire you) Arrange a...
The Johannine Corpus in the Early Church
How were the Johannine books of the New Testament received by second-century Christians and accorded scriptural status? Charles E. Hill offers a fresh and detailed examination of this question. He dismantles the long-held theory that the Fourth Gospel was generally avoided or resisted by orthodox Christians, while being treasured by various dissenting groups, throughout most of the second century. Integrating a wide range of literary and non-literary sources, this book demonstrates the failure of several old stereotypes about the Johannine literature. It also collects the full evidence for the second-century Church's conception of these writings as a group: the Johannine books cannot be isolated from each other but must be recognized as a corpus.
Chiefs in South Africa
This book examines the ongoing resurgence of traditional power structures in South Africa. Oomen assesses the relation between the changing legal and socio-political position of traditional authority and customary law and what these changes can teach us about the interrelation between law, politics, and culture in the post-modern world.
Unchanging Witness
In Unchanging Witness, Donald Fortson and Rollin Grams articulate the consistent orthodox view—historically held everywhere, always, and by all—by presenting primary sources throughout Christian history and by interpreting the biblical texts in their cultural contexts.
Competitiveness and Death
Competitiveness and Death examines the increase and reduction of regulatory barriers to trade across three industries: environmental, labor, and safety rules on automobiles, consumer protection regulations on meat, and intellectual property regulations on medicines. The fundamental negotiation in trade and regulatory policymaking occurs between businesses, activists, and government officials. Gary Winslett builds on new trade theories to explain when and why businesses are most likely to lobby governments to reduce these regulatory trade barriers. He argues that businesses prevail when they can connect with broader concerns about national economic competitiveness. He examines how activist...
Set Optimization and Applications - The State of the Art
This volume presents five surveys with extensive bibliographies and six original contributions on set optimization and its applications in mathematical finance and game theory. The topics range from more conventional approaches that look for minimal/maximal elements with respect to vector orders or set relations, to the new complete-lattice approach that comprises a coherent solution concept for set optimization problems, along with existence results, duality theorems, optimality conditions, variational inequalities and theoretical foundations for algorithms. Modern approaches to scalarization methods can be found as well as a fundamental contribution to conditional analysis. The theory is tailor-made for financial applications, in particular risk evaluation and [super-]hedging for market models with transaction costs, but it also provides a refreshing new perspective on vector optimization. There is no comparable volume on the market, making the book an invaluable resource for researchers working in vector optimization and multi-criteria decision-making, mathematical finance and economics as well as [set-valued] variational analysis.
