Der GKV-Spitzenverband: Rolle und Funktion im Neokorporatismus

An antidote to political burnout and civic despair: drawing on Zen philosophy to cultivate resilience, mindful engagement, and skillful presence in turbulent times A compact, beautifully designed guide offering 27 powerful teachings of interdependence to navigate news, social media, and civic engagement with clarity and courage 250 years after the US Declaration of Independence, this incisive Declaration of Interdependence is a&nbsp;timely, tender, and transformative guide for citizens who care deeply about the world but feel disillusioned by the state of public discourse. Professor Jeremy David Engels—scholar, mindfulness teacher, and longtime student of Thich Nhat Hanh—proposes that clarity and interconnection are not only paths to personal peace, but vital practices for renewing democracy itself. Structured in the spirit of On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder, this compact, accessible book delivers 27 profound insights—each a short chapter—on how to show up for democracy with compassion, clarity, and courage. It invites readers to step away from enemyship, to root their activism in shared humanity, and to declare their interdependence. Readers will discover: •	How mindfulness can heal the civic wounds of polarization and fear •	Practices for engaging with news and social media without being consumed •	A reimagining of democracy as collective empowerment, not endless conflict •	Zen stories and teachings to inspire transformation •	Practical tips for showing up skillfully in moments of disagreement and tension Whether you’re a seasoned activist or a tender-hearted citizen seeking a new path forward, this luminous testament to resilience&nbsp;offers a lantern in the dark—and a quiet call to remember who we are, and what we’re here to do, together.

A Declaration of Interdependence to Mend a Fractured World

On Mindful Democracy

Drawing on new data and case analyses, Ryan J. Rebe provides substantial evidence that justices vote their partisan preferences on election law cases. By focusing specifically on election law, Rebe reveals a consistent pattern of partisanship on the Court. The findings controvert popular perceptions of non-biased decision-making and notions of fundamental fairness. The aggregate analysis shows that justices vote along party-lines in a majority of election law cases, and consensus-building is rare when there is a contentious electoral issue at stake. Exploring topics such as gerrymandering, campaign finance, voter ID laws, and presidential immunity, Rebe demonstrates that Supreme Court decisions often conflict with principles of stare decisis, originalism, and judicial restraint. Rebe also conducts a content analysis of the most controversial election law cases of the past twenty-five years, including Crawford v. Marion County, Citizens United v. FEC, Shelby County v. Holder, and Trump v. United States. In doing so, the book provides a thorough overview of over two decades of election law cases and sheds light on the ways these cases have reshaped America's electoral institutions.

New York Times Bestseller and #1 Los Angeles Times BestsellerA "gripping, unshakeable firsthand account" (San Francisco Chronicle) of the firestorm that consumed Los Angeles, from the MS NOW reporter and New York Times bestselling author of Separated, who covered the fires on the ground as an LA native."Read[s] like a sci-fi thriller.” —Los Angeles TimesOn the morning of January 7, 2025, a message pinged the phone of Jacob Soboroff, a national reporter for MS NOW. “Big Palisades fire. We are evacuating,” his brother texted within minutes of the blaze engulfing the hillside behind the home where he and his pregnant wife were living. “Really bad.” An attached photo showed a huge black plume rising from behind the house, an umbrella of smoke towering over everything they owned. Jacob rushed to the office of the bureau chief.“I should go. I grew up in the Palisades.”Soon he was on the front line of the blaze—his first live report of what would turn out to be weeks covering unimaginable destruction, from both the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, in Altadena. In the days to come, Soboroff appeared across the networks of NBC News as Los Angeles was ablaze, met with displaced residents and workers, and pressed Governor Gavin Newsom in an interview on Meet the Press. But no story Soboroff has covered at home or abroad—the trauma of family separation at the border, the displacement of the war in Ukraine, the collapse of order in Haiti—could have prepared him for reporting live as the hallmarks of his childhood were engulfed in flames around him while his hometown burned to the ground.But for Soboroff, questions remained after the fires were controlled: what had he just witnessed? How could it have happened? Is it inevitable something like it will happen again? This set Soboroff off on months of reporting—with firefighters, fire victims, political leaders, academics, earth scientists, wildlife biologists, meteorologists and more—that made him keenly aware of how the misfortune of seeing his past carbonize was also a form of time travel into the dystopian world his children will inhabit. This is because the 2025 LA fires were not an isolated tragedy, but rather they are a harbinger—"the fire of the future," in the words of one senior emergency—management official.Firestorm is the story of the costliest wildfire in American history, the people it affected and the deeply personal connection to one journalist covering it. It is a love letter to Los Angeles, a yearning to understand the fires, and why America’s new age of disaster we are living through portends that—without a reckoning of how Los Angeles burned—there is more yet, and worse, to come.

The Great Los Angeles Fires and America’s New Age of Disaster

Firestorm

Warum wiederholen sich Steuerungsprobleme moderner Staatlichkeit trotz wachsender Ressourcen, neuer Technologien und kontinuierlicher Reformen? Aus organisationswissenschaftlicher Perspektive untersucht dieses Buch die strukturellen Ursachen staatlicher Handlungsgrenzen. Anhand historischer und aktueller Fallstudien, vom Flottengesetz des Kaiserreichs über die Polykratie des Nationalsozialismus bis hin zu Bundeswehr, Energiewende und Digitalisierung, werden wiederkehrende Muster organisationaler Entwicklung sichtbar. Im Zentrum steht die These, dass nicht mangelnde Ressourcen oder individuelles Versagen, sondern die zunehmende Komplexität moderner Organisationen ihre Steuerungsfähigkeit begrenzt. Mit dem Wiedemeier-Modell entwickelt der Autor einen analytischen Rahmen, um die Zusammenhänge von Differenzierung, Fragmentierung, Integration und Handlungsfähigkeit systematisch zu beschreiben und für Wissenschaft, Verwaltung und politische Praxis nutzbar zu machen.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Komplexität als Grundbedingung moderner Staatlichkeit</li><li>Differenzierung und Fragmentierung</li><li>Verfahrensdominanz und&nbsp;Verantwortungsdiffusion</li><li>Historische und aktuelle Fallbeispiele</li><li>Das Wiedemeier-Modell als organisationswissenschaftlicher Erklärungsansatz &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</li></ul>Der AutorLudger Wiedemeier studierte Geschichte und Politikwissenschaft an der Universität Bonn. Seit mehr als drei Jahrzehnten beschäftigt er sich mit Fragen staatlicher Organisation, Wehrbeschaffung, Verwaltungsmodernisierung und organisatorischer Steuerungsfähigkeit. Beruflich verfügt er über umfangreiche Erfahrungen in komplexen Transformations-, Krisen und Infrastrukturprojekten sowie in den Bereichen IT-Governance, Organisationsentwicklung, Krisenmanagement und öffentliche Verwaltung.

Warum scheitern selbst hochentwickelte Industriestaaten trotz enormer finanzieller Ressourcen immer wieder daran, rechtzeitig wirksame militärische Fähigkeiten bereitzustellen? Anhand der Entwicklung deutscher Wehr- und Rüstungsorganisation vom Flottengesetz des Jahres 1898 bis zur Zeitenwende untersucht dieses Buch die strukturellen Ursachen erfolgreicher und gescheiterter Verteidigungsplanung. Im Mittelpunkt steht nicht die Bewertung einzelner Waffensysteme, sondern die grundlegende Frage, wie politische Entscheidungen, industrielle Kapazitäten und militärische Anforderungen zu tatsächlicher Handlungsfähigkeit zusammengeführt werden können. Das Ergebnis ist ein organisationswissenschaftlicher Blick auf mehr als ein Jahrhundert deutscher Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik – und ein Beitrag zur strategischen Debatte über die Zukunft Europas.

Die Stabilität des Scheiterns

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

Schriften zum Bio-, Gesundheits- und Medizinrecht

Der medizinische Fortschritt und die Verschiebung der Grenzen des medizinisch Machbaren sowohl mit Blick auf den Beginn des menschlichen Lebens als auch auf dessen Ende stellen das geltende Recht immer wieder vor Herausforderungen. Dabei tritt der Gestaltungsauftrag des Rechts in den Vordergrund. Doch das Recht hinkt dem rasanten medizinischen Fortschritt hinterher. Zudem muss dem Gesetzgeber ein defizitärer Gestaltungswille im Bereich der Biomedizin attestiert werden. Die Frage nach einer zeitgemäßen Regulierung dieses Themenfeldes verliert daher nicht an Aktualität und war Thema der internationalen wie interdisziplinären Tagung "Zwischen Schutz und Selbstbestimmung" im Oktober 2024 in Halle a. d. Saale, deren Beiträge in diesem Band versammelt sind.

Wirksamkeit von Krankenhausseelsorge: Allein die Zusammenführung dieser beiden Begriffe führt bei Beteiligten (manchmal auch Betroffenen) der Seelsorge zu einer großen Bandbreite an möglichen Reaktionen. Diese variieren zwischen Neugier, Enthusiasmus und Veränderungswille, aber auch Sorge, Skepsis und Ablehnung. Entscheidend scheint dabei, auf Basis welcher Vorannahmen eine Annäherung an den Begriff "Wirksamkeit" erfolgt: Ist Wirksamkeit ein Weg, um das eigene seelsorgliche Handeln besser verstehen, weiterentwickeln und kommunizieren zu können? Oder verbindet sich mit Wirksamkeit der Siegeszug eines ökonomisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Paradigmas über alle Bereiche des Lebens - schließlich auch der Seelsorge? 
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Wirksamkeitsbegriff als Einladung verstanden, um mit seiner Hilfe die Krankenhausseelsorge weiterzuentwickeln und ihre Leistungen und Fähigkeiten selbstbewusst in der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit des Gesundheitswesens zu positionieren.

Beziehungsqualität - Interventionsqualität - Umgang mit Vulnerabilität

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.

Eight Principles to Craft a More Conscious, Collaborative, and Connected Future

Artisan Economics

From California Governor Gavin Newsom comes an intimate and poignant account of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics “Go slow,” his political elders advised him, but Gavin Newsom has never known such a speed. For Newsom, the California Dream is what lured his father’s family from County Cork, Ireland, six generations ago. His great-great-grandfather, a cop, walked a beat in San Francisco, where almost 150 years later, Newsom would be elected as mayor, running on the values instilled in him by his family history: that California’s open arms must continue to extend to each new generation. Newsom has never lived anywhere but California. Born in San Francisco, his parents divorced at a young age, and his childhood was spent being tugged between two worlds: his mother worked three jobs in order to care for her children while his father, a close friend of the Getty family, brought Newsom into San Francisco society, a world of wealth and connections. The dissonance was frustrating, and made all the more difficult because of undiagnosed dyslexia, but the vantage point was valuable: he inherited his mother’s perseverance and his father’s reverence of California, not only its wildness, but its opportunity. In Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined his ambitions as a politician and have pushed him to outpace the nation on myriad cutting-edge social issues that have since entered the mainstream. As mayor of San Francisco, he made waves when he violated state law in order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, more than ten years before the Supreme Court made such unions legal. He launched bold efforts to counter climate change, improve mental health care, and enhance gun safety, and worked to preserve the California Dream for his constituents. Elected as governor on the eve of unprecedented wildfires and entering office into immediate hyper-partisan headwinds from Washington, DC, Newsom has constantly and consistently stuck his neck out. Here for the first time, he reflects on the long personal journey that ultimately shaped him into one of the most recognizable and accomplished elected officials in America. Filled with intimate family history and written with candor and remarkable personal insight, here is a deeply resilient California story of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics.

A Memoir of Discovery

Young Man in a Hurry

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!
