Capitalism, Crisis and Democracy

Theory and Conflict in Portugal's Dawn of Decline

De Gruyter Handbuch / De Gruyter Handbook

In an increasingly complex and interdependent world, international organizations are vital components of global governance and arenas for cooperation and norm-building and standard setting. At the same time, they accumulate and provide knowledge and expertise and act as implementing agents in areas ranging from sustainable development over security and beyond. The Handbook of International Organizations offers both a conceptual introduction to academic debates and a broad overview of the goals, tasks and effectiveness of global, regional and issue-specific international organizations. Expanding the scope of the first volume substantively, the book now includes chapters on XXX international organizations. Chapters in the first part discuss international organizations in relation to theoretical debates in the study of International Relations and the current global context. In the second, lexical part, chapters outline the evolution, operations and current challenges of individual international organizations and provide sources for further research. Students of International Relations and related fields will find a reliable source to consult for seminal information and current trends in international organizations research.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book provides a comprehensive study of two parallel notions of civil and common law: cause and consideration. It does this in three ways; with historical, comparative, and functional perspectives. Aspects of cause and consideration are hotly contested by contract lawyers and this book will bring clarity by looking at the English and Continental positions. Key areas of focus include: enforceability, questions of legality and morality, contractual justice, and the correction of unjustified property displacements. Bringing together a team of experts, the book discusses (in some cases for the first time in English) complex questions of both academic and practical importance.

Ein brennend wichtiges, schmerzhaftes Buch. Natascha Freundel, rbb 
 
 Ostdeutschland erlitt 1989/90 einen ?Freiheitsschock?, das ist die Grundthese dieses Buches. Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk erzählt die Geschichte Ostdeutschlands seit 1990 als Kampf um die Freiheit ? ein Kampf, dessen Ausgang richtungsweisend ist für die Zukunft ganz Deutschlands. Er will aufrütteln: zu mehr aktiver Eigenverantwortung, zu einer Abkehr von der eigenen Opferrolle und zu einem Blick auf die Geschichte, bei dem die DDR nicht immer schöner wird, je länger sie her ist. Die Diktatur bleibt in diesem Buch eine Diktatur und die Einheit eine Freiheitserfolgsgeschichte: eine Intervention gegen die antifreiheitlichen Strömungen von einem der profiliertesten ostdeutschen Intellektuellen. 
 
 ?Ein brennend wichtiges, schmerzhaftes Buch, das den Homogenitätsfetisch der DDR in einen großen historischen Zusammenhang stellt und seine Nachwirkungen bis heute erklärt ? eine grundsätzliche Intervention, an der niemand vorbeikommt, der die deutsch-deutschen Verhältnisse verstehen möchte.?

This book is concerned with the practical, ethical and political realities of critical research around state punishment. By definition, critical research is a dynamic and political process which recognizes the broad structural contexts within which human action takes place. Critical researchers argue for a more dynamic and reflexive approach to research, and have duties to expose oppressive structures and practices, make audible voices that are habitually silenced, and empower and emancipate marginalized groups and individuals. Based on a series of interviews conducted with researchers within and outside of academia, this book aims to capture the personal challenges, ethical dilemmas, practical obstacles, positive rewards and (potential or actual) harmful effects of undertaking critical research concerned with state punishment. It will also explore the different mediums used to disseminate research findings and how such findings are received by peers, the public and the state.Researching Punishment is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology, media, sociology, journalism, film studies, and cultural studies.

While mainstream international legal scholarship has long treated race as a peripheral concern-or a historic injustice to be remembered but not redressed-this volume argues that racialisation is foundational to the discipline, underpinning its doctrines, epistemes, and interlocutors. Emancipating International Law explores the many ways racial hierarchy, systemic oppression, and global white supremacy shape international law. Bringing together leading and emerging scholars, the collection moves beyond qualifying whether international law is racist to explore how racial hierarchies are embedded in its structures and continue to evolve through legal and institutional practice. Divided into five sections, the book begins by situating international law's racialised boundaries within its colonial, capitalist, and chauvinist afterlives, exposing how white ignorance and race-thinking underpin legal norms, from sovereignty to jus cogens. It then examines racial stratification across legal institutions, including investment law, refugee law, and the Genocide Convention. The third section extends this critique to human rights, revealing the ways in which even an emancipatory paradigm can bolster racial injustices. The penultimate section unpacks racial hierarchies in disparate societies, including Brazil, India, and Japan, as well as the frontiers of nation-states. The volume concludes with a powerful discussion of the role of activism and alternative epistemologies in racial justice struggles, and the limits of international law's capacity for anti-racist transformation. Aimed at scholars, practitioners, and students of international law, critical legal studies, and anti-colonial theory, this book advances an understanding of international law that is aimed at dismantling its racialised structures.

' De la réalité du monde sensible ' de Jean Jaurès est une œuvre philosophique majeure mais méconnue qui explore les fondements de notre perception et de notre compréhension du monde. Jaurès y déploie une analyse rigoureuse des manifestations sensibles de l'existence, cherchant à démêler les liens complexes entre l'expérience subjective et une réalité objective. L'ouvrage est une quête métaphysique profonde, interrogeant la nature même de ce que nous appelons "réel". Le livre s'articule autour de plusieurs concepts centraux. Le mouvement, par exemple, est traité non comme un simple phénomène physique, mais comme une énigme philosophique essentielle. Jaurès examine sa nature intrinsèque, ses implications pour les notions d'être et de devenir, et sa manifestation dans l'univers. Il confronte les idées d'acte et de puissance, d'infini et de fini, pour révéler la dynamique incessante qui sous-tend toute existence. Cette exploration du mouvement est cruciale pour saisir la fluidité et la transformation constantes du monde sensible.L'analyse se poursuit avec une étude approfondie de la sensation, le point de contact primordial entre le sujet et le monde. Jaurès dissèque la mécanique de la perception, interrogeant la relation entre la quantité et la qualité des stimuli sensoriels. Comment les données brutes de nos sens - lumière, son, toucher, goût, odorat - sont-elles transformées en expériences cohérentes et significatives ? L'auteur explore les dimensions psychologiques et physiologiques de ces processus, tout en posant la question cruciale de la fidélité de nos sens à une réalité extérieure. Il démontre que la sensation, loin d'être passive, est une construction active de notre esprit. Un chapitre significatif est dédié à l'espace, concept fondamental qui structure notre perception. Jaurès confronte les grandes traditions philosophiques, de Descartes à Kant et Leibniz, pour examiner si l'espace est une entité objective préexistante ou une forme d'intuition subjective inhérente à la conscience. Cette investigation s'étend à la notion d'infini, explorant sa nature et ses implications pour notre compréhension de l'univers et de notre propre finitude. L'auteur met en lumière les paradoxes et les mystères que recèle la notion d'étendue.Enfin, l'œuvre culmine avec une réflexion magistrale sur la conscience et sa relation indissociable à la réalité. Jaurès explore la genèse de la conscience, son rôle dans l'organisation du monde sensible et la manière dont le "Moi" se positionne face à l'univers. Il aborde les débats entre idéalisme et réalisme, la fonction du cerveau et de l'organisme dans la pensée et les émotions, et la question ultime de l'unité ou de la dualité entre l'esprit et la matière. L'auteur soutient que la compréhension de la réalité du monde sensible est intrinsèquement liée à une compréhension profonde de la conscience elle-même, de sa capacité à appréhender, interpréter et même modeler la réalité.À travers cette enquête philosophique d'une rare érudition et d'une profondeur saisissante, Jean Jaurès offre une perspective riche et nuancée sur les questions éternelles de l'existence, de la perception et de la connaissance. Son travail invite le lecteur à une introspection critique, à reconsidérer les fondements de sa propre expérience du monde et à s'engager dans une exploration intellectuelle des mystères qui nous entourent. C'est une œuvre qui, par sa portée et sa rigueur, continue de résonner avec force dans le paysage de la pensée contemporaine, témoignant de la puissance intemporelle de la philosophie à éclairer les aspects les plus complexes de l'expérience humaine.

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE ATLANTIC’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR • Through the “revelatory and gut-wrenching” (Associated Press) stories of five Atlanta families, this landmark work of journalism exposes a new and troubling trend—the dramatic rise of the working homeless in cities across America. “An exceptional feat of reporting, full of an immediacy that calls to mind Adrian Nicole LeBlanc’s Random Family and Matthew Desmond’s Evicted.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) FINALIST FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE, AND THE BERNSTEIN AWARD • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Elle, New America, BookPage, Shelf Awareness The working homeless. In a country where hard work and determination are supposed to lead to success, there is something scandalous about this phrase. But skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced a startling phenomenon: People with full-time jobs cannot keep a roof over their head, especially in America’s booming cities, where rapid growth is leading to catastrophic displacement. These families are being forced into homelessness not by a failing economy but a thriving one. In this gripping and deeply reported book, Brian Goldstone plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city. Maurice and Natalia make a fresh start in the country’s “Black Mecca” after being priced out of DC. Kara dreams of starting her own cleaning business while mopping floors at a public hospital. Britt scores a coveted housing voucher. Michelle is in school to become a social worker. Celeste toils at her warehouse job while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. Each of them aspires to provide a decent life for their children—and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone reveals the human cost of this crisis, following parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. These are the nation’s hidden homeless—omitted from official statistics, and proof that overflowing shelters and street encampments are only the most visible manifestation of a far more pervasive problem. By turns heartbreaking and urgent, There Is No Place for Us illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness—and shows that it won’t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.

There Is No Place for Us

A guide to what we have lost in the modern world, why we have lost it and how easily it is to rediscover. Harmony is a blueprint for a more balanced, sustainable world that the human race must create to survive.Long before the phrase climate change was a universal catchphrase, the Prince of Wales was studying the impact of industrialization on the environment. Now in this fascinating cross-discipline work, he calls upon his years of research and explores the way in which mankind must work to restore the delicate balance with nature that we've lost in the centuries since the industrial revolution began.In 'Harmony', the Prince of Wales draws upon a variety of elements from our modern world, and discusses how areas as diverse as architecture, farming, medicine have each abandoned the classical balances with nature that existed in pre-industrial times. From the rice farms of India to America's corn belt, 'Harmony' spans the globe, dissecting the specific practices of modern life that have put us at odds with nature and showing how these trends manifest themselves throughout the world.Contrasting current styles of architecture with traditional design, modern medicine techniques against those of the past, he paints a clear portrait of what we as a species have lost in the modern age. More than simply another treatise on global warming, 'Harmony' tells a story that presents a clear, thoughtful look at how our disassociation from nature has helped to in the greatest environmental crisis in the history of mankind.
