In den letzten Jahren hat sich das öffentliche und wissenschaftliche Interesse am Gewalt- und Konfliktpotenzial von Religion verdichtet. Angesichts der politischen Ereignisse der letzten Jahre scheint es ausgemacht, dass religiöse Ãberzeugungen Konflikte fördern und Gewalt nach sich ziehen. GrÃ"ndlichere Analysen zeigen jedoch, dass Religion fÃ"r sich genommen nur selten selber den Ausbruch von machtpolitisch oder ökonomisch ausgetragenen Konflikten bewirkt. Wohl aber kann sie vorhandene ökonomische und machtpolitische Gegnerschaften verstärken.Dass Religion auch friedensfördernd zu sein vermag, ist in jÃ"ngerer Zeit deutlich weniger in den Blick genommen worden. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes widmen sich diesem vernachlässigten Thema, indem sie nach jenen Elementen von Religion fragen, die als friedensfördernd angesehen werden können und dazu geeignet sind, entsprechende Potenziale freizusetzen. Dies geschieht aus der Perspektive von Geschichts-, Politik-, Islam und Religionswissenschaft sowie Theologie und im Hinblick auf verschiedene, in Europa präsente Religionen. Religionskritisch werden gleichzeitig die gewaltfördernden Aspekte von Religion mit reflektiert.Mit Beiträgen von Andreas Hasenclever, Alexander de Juan, Armin Kohnle, Irfan A. Omar, Peter Steinacker, Klaus von Stosch und Christiane Tietz.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Staatliche Souveränität im 21. Jahrhundert: Zwischen nationaler Selbstbestimmung und globaler Verflechtung
Die Souveränität des Staates zählt zu den grundlegendsten Begriffen des Staats- und Völkerrechts. Der Frage, was sich hinter dem Begriff der Souveränität verbirgt, wie und warum die Souveränitätsidee zur Grundnorm der internationalen Beziehungen wurde, welche Veränderungen diese erfahren hat und welchen Chancen und Herausforderungen sich der Souveränitätsbegriff im 21. Jahrhundert gegenübersieht, widmeten sich Stipendiaten des Cusanuswerks im Rahmen einer juristischen Tagung, die im Herbst 2015 in Münster stattfand. Im Dialog mit Stimmen aus der Wissenschaft entwickelte sich eine intensive Diskussion über Staatliche Souveränität im 21. Jahrhundert - zwischen nationaler Selbstbestimmung und globaler Verflechtung. Der Tagungsband enthält die gesammelten Beiträge der Tagung, die die Konturen des Souveränitätsbegriffs zu bestimmen versuchen.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Protestantismus, Antijudaismus, Antisemitismus: Konvergenzen und Konfrontationen in ihren Kontexten
Markiert die Reformation eine Zäsur in der Geschichte des christlichen Antijudaismus? Was haben das reformatorische Christentum und seine Wirkungen in Wechselwirkung mit andersartigen Koeffizienten für das Umschlagen des Antijudaismus in eliminatorischen Antisemitismus bedeutet? Zu diesen viel diskutierten Themen leistet der vorliegende Band einen Beitrag auf einem neuen Niveau der Differenzierung und der Multiperspektivität. Anders als weithin üblich, wird der Schwerpunkt nicht von vorneherein auf Martin Luther und seine "Judenschriften" gelegt. Für das 16. Jahrhundert wird vielmehr das Verhältnis der Zeitgenossenschaft zu den Juden in den Blick genommen. Im Blick auf das 19. und frühe 20. Jahrhundert kommen die verschiedensten protestantischen Positionen in Deutschland zum Judentum und deren Quellen zur Sprache. Kontrastierend wird schließlich die internationale Szene beleuchtet, einerseits außerdeutsche lutherische Länder und Kirchen und andererseits Länder, die von anderen konfessionellen Traditionen geprägt waren.

JOVIS Verlag GAM.14: Exhibiting Matters
The dissolution of the 'traditional' artwork as well as the division of labour within the specified and increasingly intersecting fields of art and architecture make a re-evaluation of the spatial, curatorial, temporal, and institutional aspects of exhibiting necessary. In particular, the act of exhibiting is currently being shaped more and more by the embrace of a deliberate refusal of temporal and spatial closure, thus also bringing forth new sites for investigative (dis)play, media manifestations, and crossover collaborations. GAM.14 collects current positions from the disciplines of art and architecture that address the potentials of sites of exhibiting to act as laboratory spaces in which the urgent social, political, and ideological challenges of our time can manifest themselves. The volume includes contributions by Ivana Bago, Nicolas Bourriaud, Ana Devi, Anselm Franke, Andrew Herscher, Tom Holert, Sami Khatib, Wilfried Kühn, Ana Maria Leon, Maria Lind, What, How & for Whom/WHW, among others. Text in English and German.

De Gruyter Wiederholung. Répétition: Wiederkehr, Variation und Übersetzung in der Kunst
Artistic production is always associated with repetition, whether in imitation of nature or in imitation of art itself. The spectrum of the phenomenon “repetition” in the visual arts varies from the (im-)possibility of reproducing of a work to its direct thematization, for instance in printed reproductions, or as prolific repetitions in terms of varying, appropriating, adapting or converting.The essays in this volume examine repetitions that are characterized by evocations of memory, changes in form, reproduction methods and avant-garde breaks with repetitive aesthetics.

Springer International Publishing AG Aviation Risk and Safety Management: Methods and Applications in Aviation Organizations
The International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) decision to require aviation organizations to adopt Safety Management Systems poses a major problem especially for small and medium sized aviation companies. The complexity of regulations overstrains the aviation stakeholders who seek to fully advantage from them but have no clear guidance. The aim of the book is to show the implementation of such a new system with pragmatic effort in order to gain a gradation for smaller operators. This approach should illustrate the leeway in order to adapt the processes and to show the interfaces between Corporate Risk Management and Safety Management. The book shows how to build a system with reasonable effort, appropriate to the size and complexity of the specific operator. It also gives inputs on the key aspects and how to effectively operate such a system with the various interfaces. Furthermore, the book highlights the importance of Corporate Risk Management independent of Safety Management Systems based on ICAO.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd International Competitiveness and the Balance of Payments: Do Current Account Deficits and Surpluses Matter?
How can the notion of competitiveness be reasonably applied to an economy? What relation does high or low competitiveness have to the current account? Do huge and persistent imbalances really reflect competitive positions of local firms or are they merely due to a misalignment of exchange rates or even outright protectionism, as the US-Japan trade conflict suggests?All these questions are rigorously addressed in International Competitiveness and the Balance of Payments. In examining the determinants of current account balances the conventional competitiveness approach - in which deficits are assumed to indicate low competitiveness - is contrasted with an intertemporal view of the balance of payments. By emphasizing locational quality as the decisive factor in international competitiveness, the authors are able to offer fundamentally different conclusions about the determinants of current account debates.As well as theoretical evidence advocating the intertemporal view, the authors present four case studies in support of this approach: Germany before and after unification, Spain before joining the EMS, the United States since the early 1980s, and Japan's persistent current account surpluses.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Space and Organizing: On Spatial Agencing
This timely book explores how space emerges as people attempt to organize and reorganize their everyday activities. From the workplace to the internet, geographical districts to international development projects, it offers new insights on how created spaces enable further activities as the organizing process evolves. Expert contributors employ a poststructuralist perspective to look at the importance of agencing for understanding organizing within and among multifarious spaces. In turn this provides a means of explaining how organizing unfolds through combinations of spatio-material and agential practices. Extending this research by highlighting the agential dynamics of organizing in relation to space, this book unpacks the concept of agencing, before considering how relational approaches to space have influenced the idea of spatial agencing. Connecting the work of Michel Callon and Franck Cochoy, Space and Organizing joins a forward-thinking and ever-expanding body of research. As space and society are the result of diverse ongoing activities that enable further organizing to take place, the book concludes that we should abandon the idea of a given space that people inhabit and transform.This book offers a meaningful avenue to rethink how we interact with nature, distribute our activities, and organize our practices. Aimed at business and management researchers, PhD candidates and postgraduate students with a particular interest in organization studies and organizational behaviour, this book offers ways to engage with more positive routes of spatial agencing.

Emerald Publishing Limited Autonomous Driving: How the Driverless Revolution will Change the World
This book looks at the latest advances in autonomous driving, demonstrating that a future once considered science fiction is now close at hand. Acceptance of driverless cars relies on more than just the technology that delivers it; in this book the authors consider the shift in attitudes required for social acceptance and a move towards considering cars one aspect of a wider mobility solution. In addition, a clear demand is arising from gridlocked megacities across the globe. Autonomous driving offers a solution for the high pollution levels and management of the transport infrastructure where current methods are proving insufficient in places of high population density. Having highlighted the need for driverless cars, the book concludes with an ambitious agenda to ensure the successful delivery of autonomous driving. Political requirements, including investment in a new infrastructure and a commitment to collaboration across borders factors in the ten-point plan for governments seeking to establish international leaders in the latest advances in mobility services. From ethical considerations in the programming of automated driving procedures to changes in attitudes towards car ownership and design, this title is a comprehensive look at the latest revolution in mobility.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Virtual Walls?: Political Unification and Cultural Difference in Contemporary Germany
A reassessment of the journey Germans in East and West have taken during the past two and a half decades: even today, an open-ended, unfinished journey. On October 3, 1990, just a year after the Berlin Wall fell, the German Democratic Republic was absorbed into the Federal Republic of Germany, officially ceasing to exist. What was the GDR and how do we remember it? According to the dominant Western narrative, it was a country that brought neither unity nor justice nor freedom to its citizens. But if so, why does a virtual wall still seem to exist in Germany today between the erstwhile citizens of the GDR and FRG? The GDR very much remains in the public debate, and while political integration is well on its way, the cultural integration of the two former states has proven much more challenging. This volume analyzes the culturaltransformation - or lack thereof - that has followed political unification. The contributions are interdisciplinary: essays on history and politics provide a framework and others on art, film, literature, museums, music, and education provide specific examples. These case studies allow us to examine the state of unification beyond statistics, opinion polls, and glib generalizations. The volume, then, is a reassessment of the journey Germans in East and West have taken during the past two and a half decades. Even today, it is an open-ended, unfinished journey. But such journeys tend to be the most interesting. Contributors: Kerstin Barndt, Stephen Brockmann, Michael Dreyer, Andreas Eis, April A. Eisman, Peter Hayes, Franziska Lys, Charles S. Maier, Andreas Niederberger, Mary-Elizabeth O'Brien, Daniel Ortuno-Stühring. Franziska Lys is Professor of German at Northwestern University.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Ex Captivitate Salus: Experiences, 1945 - 47
When Germany was defeated in 1945, both the Russians and the Americans undertook mass internments in the territories they occupied. The Americans called their approach “automatic arrest.” Carl Schmitt, although not belonging in the circles subject to automatic arrest, was held in one of these camps in the years 1945–6 and then, in March 1947, in the prison of the international tribunal in Nuremberg, as witness and “possible defendant.” A formal charge was never brought against him. Schmitt’s way of coping throughout the years of isolation was to write this book. In Ex Captivitate Salus, or Deliverance from Captivity, Schmitt considers a range of issues relating to history and political theory as well as recent events, including the Nazi defeat and the newly emerging Cold War. Schmitt often urged his readers to view the book as though it were a series of letters personally directed to each one of them. Hence there is a decidedly personal dimension to the text, as Schmitt expresses his thoughts on his own career trajectory with some pathos, while at the same time emphasising that “this is not romantic or heroic prison literature.” This reflective work sheds new light on Schmitt’s thought and personal situation at the beginning of a period of exile from public life that only ended with his death in 1985. It will be of great value to the many students and scholars in political theory and law who continue to study and appreciate this seminal theorist of the twentieth century.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Auroral Phenomenology and Magnetospheric Processes: Earth and Other Planets
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 197.Many of the most basic aspects of the aurora remain unexplained. While in the past terrestrial and planetary auroras have been largely treated in separate books, Auroral Phenomenology and Magnetospheric Processes: Earth and Other Planets takes a holistic approach, treating the aurora as a fundamental process and discussing the phenomenology, physics, and relationship with the respective planetary magnetospheres in one volume. While there are some behaviors common in auroras of the different planets, there are also striking differences that test our basic understanding of auroral processes. The objective, upon which this monograph is focused, is to connect our knowledge of auroral morphology to the physical processes in the magnetosphere that power and structure discrete and diffuse auroras. Understanding this connection will result in a more complete explanation of the aurora and also further the goal of being able to interpret the global auroral distributions as a dynamic map of the magnetosphere. The volume synthesizes five major areas: auroral phenomenology, aurora and ionospheric electrodynamics, discrete auroral acceleration, aurora and magnetospheric dynamics, and comparative planetary aurora. Covering the recent advances in observations, simulation, and theory, this book will serve a broad community of scientists, including graduate students, studying auroras at Mars, Earth, Saturn, and Jupiter. Projected beyond our solar system, it may also be of interest for astronomers who are looking for aurora-active exoplanets.
