Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Das Zwei-Prozent-Ziel der NATO und die
Book SynopsisDas essential liefert eine fundierte Darstellung und Analyse des sogenannten ‚Zwei-Prozent-Ziels‘ der NATO (2 % vom BIP für Verteidigung) und seiner Auswirkungen auf die Finanzierung der Bundeswehr. Es skizziert Entstehung und methodische Schwächen der Messgröße, die 2002 erstmals verabredet und 2014 bekräftigt wurde. Die Zielgröße ist ohne rechtliche Bindungswirkung. Viele NATO-Partner erfüllen sie nicht, darunter Deutschland, das mit rund 1,25 % weit entfernt liegt. Weil rein inputorientiert und nicht plausibel ist das Kriterium eigentlich unbrauchbar. Dennoch beeinflusste es in der letzten Zeit die innenpolitische Debatte in Deutschland.Table of ContentsDie Beschlüsse von Wales 2014 zum Zwei-Prozent-Ziel.- Die innenpolitische Debatte um die Höhe des Verteidigungshaushalts .- Verbesserungen des Zustands der Bundeswehr durch mehr Geld?

NUS Press Stateless: Ethnography of Statelessness Written by a Stateless Academic
Book Synopsis"In the springtime of the year that I was twenty-one, I found myself stuck at the border between two familiar countries, unable to enter either. I had never felt my statelessness so keenly."Japan's 1972 termination of diplomatic ties with the Republic of China left 9,200 Chinese residents stateless. Tienshi "Lara" Chen was one of them, born to Chinese parents in Yokohama's Chinatown. What does it mean to be stateless? What does it feel like?In a lively blend of life writing, auto-ethnography, and study of stateless communities around Asia, this book unpacks the idea of citizenship by showing the hidden everyday narratives and lived experiences of stateless persons who have no legal ties to any nation state. Originally published in Japanese, this adapted and updated English edition critically engages with questions of borders, mobility, belonging, and identity.We follow Chen's engaging autobiographical account of her bi-cultural upbringing and Japanese education, and how her experience of statelessness eventually led her into a career spanning academia and activism. Across different levels of analysis, the author points out the contradictions inherent in the concepts of nationality, nation-state and citizenship, in a world where individual nationality, identity and experience are increasingly complex. She concludes that the current system of regulating individuals with citizenship is unworkable in the long run. Stateless is a fascinating read on borders, states and identities.

Oxford University Press Emigrants and Exiles
Book SynopsisFrom the 1660s to the early 1900s, no fewer than seven million people emigrated from Ireland to North America. This vast flow at once reflected and compelled enormous social changes on both sides of the Atlantic. In this book Miller chronicles the momentous causes of the Irish emigration and its far-reaching impact - on the people themselves, on the land they left behind, and on the new one they came to. Drawing on enormous original research, Miller focuses on the thought and behaviour of the ordinary Irish emigrants, Catholic and Protestant, as revealed in their personal letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs as well as in their songs, poems, and folklore. Monumental in scope, Emigrants and Exiles embraces all the successive waves of Irish emigration, illuminating their differences as well as their common bonds.Trade Reviewa very readable treatment of this theme ... vivid pictures spike his documentary which bring to recognition, if only for a moment, the ordinary figuresThis is a truly monumental work of scholarship. * Sunday Times *This is the most important book on Irish emigration to appear in a generation, and it is destined to be the monument by which all others are measured. * Irish America *remarkable book ... a prodigiously researched account of one of the great folk movements of history * Michael Heale, TLS *Kerby Miller has written what is likely to remain for some time the standard work on Irish emigration to the United States. His book is a prime example of the detailed, myth-shattering Irish historical literature of the 1980s. Both in the quality of its argument and in its vast range of interesting detail it constitutes a considerable achievement. * Michael A. Hopkinson, University of Stirling, Irish Historical Studies *

Oxford University Press, USA Culture Citizenship and Community
Book SynopsisThis book contributes to contemporary debates about multiculturalism and democratic theory by reflecting upon the ways in which claims about culture and identity are actually advanced by immigrants, national minorities, aboriginals and other groups in a number of different societies. Carens advocates a contextual approach to theory that explores the implications of theoretical views for actual cases, reflects on the normative principles embedded in practice, and takes account of the ways in which differences between societies matter. He argues that this sort of contextual approach will show why the conventional liberal understanding of justice as neutrality needs to be supplemented by a conception of justice as evenhandedness and why the conventional conception of citizenship is an intellectual and moral prison from which we can be liberated by an understanding of citizenship that is more open to multiplicity and that grows out of practices we judge to be just and beneficial.Trade ReviewThe issues Carens addresses with such clarity and engagement are political rather than philosophical. That lesson alone is worth the price of admission. * Ethics *The wide array of substantive examples that Carens relies on to advance his arguments is among the most attractive and valuable features of the book. * Ethics *Carens has produced an exemplary piece of political theory. His argument remains nuanced and civil even where it is most critical. More important, perhaps, his argument is driven less by disputes in the philosophical literature than by important political problems ... also critically examines a range of prominent philosophical positions. * Ethics *This book is an excellent example of the evolution of discussions by contemporary political theorists about the requirements of justice for cultural minorities in democratic polities. * Canadian Journal of Political Science *This is a very fine volume, densely and carefully argued, beautifully written, by a thoughtful individual trying to balance competing demands in multicultural democracies for cultural and collective as well as individual, rights. * Human Rights Quarterly *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Contextual Political Theory, Comparative Perspectives, and Justice as Evenhandedness ; Complex Justice, Cultural Difference, and Political Community ; Liberalism and Culture ; Distinguishing Between Difference and Domination: Reflections on the Relation Between Pluralism and Equality ; Cultural Adaptation and the Integration of Immigrants: The Case of Quebec ; Muslim Minorities in Liberal Democracies: Justice and the Limits of Toleration ; Multiple Political Memberships, Overlapping National Identities, and the Dimensions of Citizenship ; Citizenship and the Challenge of Aboriginal Self-Government: Is Deep Diversity Desirable? ; Democracy and Respect for Difference: The Case of Fiji ; Conclusion
