European Climate Diplomacy in the USA and China
"Buchmann analyses the work of UK, German, Danish and Swedish embassies in the USA and China on climate change in the late 2000s and early 2010s. She relates which coalitions and narratives embassies sought to develop to convince China and the United States that a more progressive climate policy was possible, to achieve gains supporting an agreement under the UNFCCC. This book shows that a key interpretation of climate diplomacy was selling/trade: Europe selling technology "solutions" to solve climate change. In this narrative, Europe has already done what needs to be done and outsourcing of production to China e.g. is ignored. In the USA, embassies entered coalitions with states, faith groups and the military, arguing that a more progressive climate policy was mandated by either God or security concerns. State politicians, including Democrats, often actually didn't implement any climate policies. Any gains were reversed through climate denial lobbying funded by corporations. Embassies did not address this"--
The Sixties Unplugged
The 1960s is a decade often seen through a rose-tinted lens: an era when the young would not only rule the world but change it, too, for the better. But does such fond nostalgia really stand up? Vivid, rich in anecdote, sometimes angry and always persuasive, The Sixties Unplugged is a hugely entertaining and authoritative account of the decade of myth and madness. Read it and remember that even if you weren’t there, you can still find out what really happened.
Climate Obstruction across Europe
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Understanding climate obstruction is foundational to advancing effective action on the global climate crisis. Starting in the late 1980s, a broad range of actors--including corporations and trade associations acting in coordination with conservative think tanks, foundations, and public relations firms--mounted a long-term effort to oppose action to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. This is the first book to document the developmen...
European Security and Defence Policy
This book analyzes the first ten years of ESDP, from 1999 to 2009. It provides a comprehensive and detailed outline of different aspects of ESDP, including the ESDP institutions responsible for civilian and military crisis management; the civil and military resources available for ESDP operations; and the relationship between ESDP and the United Nations, NATO, the OSCE, and the African Union. ESDP operations, to date, are analyzed, and their implementation, challenges, and achievements are reviewed. It includes data on member state contributions to ESDP operations.
Tafeln klappern, Griffel kreischen
Zur Geschichte des Schulwesens: Im ausgehenden 21. Jahrhundert wird es Geräusche geben, die wohl vergessen sein werden: Das Bimmeln der Strassenbahn, das Klack-Klack der Schreibmaschinen, das Klappern der Schulschiefertafeln oder das schrille Kreischen der Griffel, wenn diese über die Schiefertafeln fuhren. Was als Studie im Rahmen einer Lehrer/-innen - Fortbildung begann, hat sich zu einem veritablen Forschungsprojekt gewandelt, dessen Ergebnis als zweiteilig gestaltetes Werk zur Geschichte des Schulwesens im Lötschental (Kanton Wallis) vorliegt. In zwölf Kapiteln wird die Schulgeschichte seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts nachgezeichnet. Beim Übergang von den katholischen Pfarrschulen zu...
