Citizens’ Assemblies and Mini-Publics

Climate Assemblies

New Civic Institutions for a Climate-changed World

Citizens¿ Assemblies (CAs) are flourishing around the world. Quite often composed of randomly selected citizens, CAs, arguably, come as a possible answer to contemporary democratic challenges. Democracies worldwide are indeed confronted with a series of disruptive phenomena such as a widespread perception of distrust and growing polarization as well as low performance. Many actors seek to reinvigorate democracy with citizen participation and deliberation. CAs are expected to have the potential to meet this twofold objective. But, despite deliberative and inclusive qualities of CAs, many questions remain open. The increasing popularity of CAs call for a holistic reflection and evaluation on their origins, current uses and future directions. 
The De Gruyter Handbook of Citizens¿ Assemblies showcases the state of the art around the study of CAs and opens novel perspectives informed by multidisciplinary research and renewed thinking about deliberative participatory processes. It discusses the latest theoretical, empirical, and methodological scientific developments on CAs and offers a unique resource for scholars, decision-makers, practitioners, and curious citizens to better understand the qualities, purposes, promises but also pitfalls of CAs.

De Gruyter Handbook of Citizens’ Assemblies

Ein Mädchen lernt auf einer Trommel den Takt der türkischen Nationalhymne. Jahre später steht ihre Mutter vor der Tür und zieht sie an der Hand zurück nach Deutschland. Noch einmal Jahre später wird sie verlassen von einem Mann, den sie 'Niemand' nennt, die Sehnsucht nach Niemand wird sie nicht mehr los. Alles, nur nicht zynisch werden.&nbsp;In Hauptsache kein Zeitgeist breitet sich in aufregenden 24 Stunden die Gegenwart vor uns aus wie ein gewebter Teppich. Die Heldin des Romans ist eine Kosmopolitin und eine Migrantin. Sie übt sich in Affirmation und Meditation, bildet sich autodidaktisch in Sozialphilosophie und rollt auf einer Konferenz die Augen über die tristen Tropen der Wissenschaftler. Reist nach Triest und lernt John kennen, reist in die Vergangenheit und lernt sich selbst kennen. Will nicht modern sein und ist es doch.&nbsp;

This book examines 'womanhood' and 'race' not only as disputed, converging, and constantly changing categories and lived experiences, but also as interrelated and unequal subjectivities and social realties that shaped all early-twentieth century Puerto Ricans. It empirically documents just how significantly 'womanhood' and 'race' were inextricably intertwined in Puerto Rico between 1914 and 1945, a decisive period in U.S. expansionism and in the transformation of this island. Through a comparative analysis and description of specific subjects in early-twentieth century Puerto Rico—mostly Puerto Ricans from different races and social classes, but also some North Americans as well—the book demonstrates the extent to which 'womanhood' and 'race' are a more thorny, volatile, and unstable than is commonly acknowledged within Women’s History and Caribbean Studies. This is the first book that examines the relationships between women in Puerto Rico from divergent social classes and racialized positions by mostly focusing on the socioeconomic and racial inequalities among colonized women in Puerto Rico. This is in marked contrast with most Women’s History globally which mainly concentrates either on the lives of elite women or, at best, on the unequal relationships between colonizer- and/or European-descended women vis-à-vis colonized- and/or non-white women. In this book 'womanhood' and 'race' are not seen as separate, nor as already given, historically and culturally immutable 'things.’ Those are some of the lacunae this book transcends, primarily in the case of white-Creole women relative to non-white Island women and the images socially constructed of them in Puerto Rico, as well as for racially located Puerto Ricans more broadly. Within this context, the book enables a different reading of already known documents while demonstrating the importance of examining unused or forgotten bibliographical sources, some of them previously untranslated.Gladys M. Jiménez-Muñoz is an Associate Professor at the Sociology Department at Binghamton University-SUNY.&nbsp;

Marine Microbial Products: Applications and Opportunities delves into the extensive and highly diverse world of marine microbes, an assemblage of organisms that contain a broad array of bioactive chemicals. Often unique due to the extreme environmental conditions in which they are synthesized, these chemicals present opportunities for innovations in human health, environmental sustainability, and technological progress. Readers will gain valuable insights into the biodiversity of marine microbes, characterization of their bioactive chemicals, and opportunities for innovation and sustainable development across multiple sectors. Written and edited by a diverse team of environmental microbiologists, this book is systematically structured to provide readers with a foundational understanding of marine microbial taxa, the products that may be synthesized from these organisms, technological innovations, and future directions of research. Chapters collate the most current research in healthcare, sustainable industry, and commercial production to provide readers with the latest information on antibiotics, antivirals, anticancer therapeutics, immunosuppresive chemicals, bioremediation, food processing, biofertilizers, biopesticides, cosmetics, pigments, probiotics, and functional foods. Given the interdisciplinary nature of this growing area of research, Marine Microbial Products: Applications and Opportunities is structured for accessibility to academic and professional audiences spanning a variety of sectors. It is an indispensable resource for students, professors, researchers, and industry professionals in biology, biotechnology, sustainable development, food and healthcare sciences, and adjacent industries.

"König der Welt ist eines der anregendsten und unterhaltsamsten Werke über europäische Geschichte, das seit langem erschienen ist.' Wall Street JournalLudwig XIV., das meinte bisher: Absolutismus, Zentralismus, "Der Staat bin ich".&nbsp;Seine Regentschaft steht für die Pracht von Versailles, für höfische Intrigen und Machtspiele. Philip Mansel zeigt uns eine neue Seite des Sonnenkönigs: einen Herrscher, dessen Interessen und Ambitionen weit über sein Heimatland hinausreichten. Der Frankreichs Grenzen nicht nur in die Niederlande und Deutschland ausdehnte, sondern auch Kolonien in Amerika, Afrika und Indien errichtete, und dessen Regierungsstil von Brunswick bis Württemberg zahlreiche Nachahmer fand. Das Deutschland des ausgehenden 17. Jahrhunderts ist nur zu verstehen, wenn man Ludwigs diplomatische Schachzüge kennt.&nbsp;Mansels farbig geschriebene Biografie liefert den Schlüssel dazu. &nbsp;
