Grundrechte-Report 2027

Am 11. März 2026 feiert Rupert Murdoch seinen 95. Geburtstag. Anlässlich dieses Ereignisses erscheint seine ultimative Biographie, geschrieben von der preisgekrönten Journalistin Claire Atkinson (NBC News). 
Rupert Murdoch ist zweifellos einer der mächtigsten, faszinierendsten und umstrittensten Männer der Medienwelt und gilt schon zu Lebzeiten als Legende. Er ist Besitzer zahlloser Zeitungen, Magazine und TV-Sender in vielen Ländern der Erde, darunter auch in Deutschland. Damit war er Herr über die Nachrichten und hatte großen politischen Einfluss. Claire Atkinson hat unvergleichlichen Zugang zu Murdochs innerem Kreis. Ihr wurde das erste Einzelinterview seit vier Jahren mit seinem Sohn und Nachfolger Lachlan gewährt. So gelingt ihr ein einmaliger Blick auf das eindrucksvolle Leben, geschäftlich und privat, und hinter die Kulissen des riesigen Murdoch-Imperiums.

Perspectives on Global Affairs

With more than 180 million migrants worldwide, roughly 2.3 percent of the global population, migration is a global phenomenon, characterized by cross-border movements that are strikingly varied. This book discusses the current state of migration as a question of governance rather than crisis, examining contemporary migration movements within the legal, political, and economic structures that shape who may move, and why. The book focuses on Latin America, a region shaped by long histories of mobility, and the immigration policy frameworks of the United States, the European Union, and Latin America and the Caribbeans, tracing how different institutional architectures face similar migratory pressures but obtain markedly different outcomes. Ultimately, the book argues that migration functions as a governance barometer, by introducing the concept of policy elasticity, and exploring the limitations of existing “one-size-fits-all” approaches.

Palgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics

“Masterfully, McKenzie provides a conceptual toolkit for both researchers and local communities on how to resist wealth chain urbanism.”

 Leonard Seabrooke
 , European University Institute, Italy
 
 “Drawing on insider knowledge and an internationalist perspective, McKenzie deconstructs the networks of power that shape our present and must be dismantled in order to construct a better future.”

 “This book provides a bold and robust analysis that not only puts intersectionality at its centre but recognises the significance of Grenfell.”

 This book traces the hidden architecture of urban dispossession. From the ghost neighbourhoods of Kensington and Chelsea to the offshore-controlled student housing in Sheffield, it reveals how cities are being retooled not as homes for their residents, but as nodes in a global network of value extraction.Wealth chain urbanism is the name for this system: six interlocking mechanisms that convert communities into commodities. McKenzie introduces the concept of "Digital Plantation", showing how algorithmic systems and surveillance infrastructure reproduce the colonial logics of extraction in the twenty-first-century city. But this book also documents the counter-infrastructure being built by tenant unions, community land trusts, and environmental justice campaigners who refuse to be erased. It issues a radical challenge: reform is a trap. The book envisions a strategy of dual power—tactical fights for survival alongside the construction of autonomous alternatives beyond capital's reach. Essential reading for scholars, activists, policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand (and change) the future of our cities. &nbsp;Rex McKenzie

This book traces the hidden architecture of urban dispossession. From the ghost neighbourhoods of Kensington and Chelsea to the archipelagos of offshore-controlled student housing in Sheffield, he reveals how cities are being retooled not as homes for their residents, but as nodes in a global network of value extraction.Wealth chain urbanism is the name for this system: six interlocking mechanisms (offshore opacity, institutional portfolio strategies, algorithmic platforms, securitisation, state facilitation, and racial capitalism) that convert communities into commodities. McKenzie introduces the concept of the "Digital Plantation", showing how algorithmic systems and surveillance infrastructure reproduce the colonial logics of extraction in the heart of the twenty-first-century city. But this is also a book about resistance. It documents the counter-infrastructure being built by tenant unions, community land trusts, and environmental justice campaigners who refuse to be erased. It issues a radical challenge: reform is a trap. The book envisions a strategy of dual power – tactical fights for survival alongside the construction of autonomous alternatives beyond capital's reach. Essential reading for scholars, activists, policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand (and change) the future of our cities.

This book examines religious organisations and the multifaceted ways in which they engage with morality policymaking in Europe.For centuries, churches held jurisdiction over key moral issues such as marriage, death, and education. Whilst these domains are now controlled by the state and the formal authority of religious communities in the political sphere has diminished, their impact on value systems, individual behaviour and the implementation of policies remains substantial. Examining a diverse array of morality policies – including abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, prostitution and religious education - in six democratic countries, and from the perspective of Catholic, Protestant and Islamic religious groups, the book considers the extent to which religious organisations engage with the policy process, and the different forms of engagement. It argues that religious organisations play an important role in indirectly governing morality policies through their involvement in the implementation of policies. Acting as intermediaries between the state and citizens, they significantly influence how morality policies are implemented.The book will appeal to all those interested in public policy, morality policy, policy implementation, and the politics of religion.Eva-Maria Euchner

Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing through Hawala Money Transfer Operators
 investigates the historical, contemporary, and future orientations of the hawala system as it exists at the nexus of national security policy and practice, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism and criminal activity. It examines the emerging connections between criminal and terrorist organisations that aim to exploit this time-honoured system for their unlawful and violent intentions, states, and financial systems. The book offers a thorough examination of a topic that is frequently framed and seen as a major security threat on a local, national, and international scale. Inconsistent state regulations, inadequate international regulatory oversight, and misinformed policy all contribute to the complexity of the issue. It integrates empirical and substantive data and analyses with conceptual approaches to the hawala informal remittance system and its exploitation by criminal and terrorist actors.

Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing through Hawala Money Transfer Operators

This book reassesses classic Marxist theories of finance capital and uneven development in the context of the present intensified process of financialization and the accentuation of combined and accelerating uneven development. In particular, the work of Hilferding and Luxemburg is discussed and re-framed in light of both the contributions of Marx and more recent engagements by David Harvey and Neil Smith. The book explores the case of South Africa in particular in light of the combination of a rapidly financializing yet crisis-ridden South African political economy on the one hand and intensifying social inequality and political conflict on the other.&nbsp;It explores a series of strategies and possibilities that might open up trajectories for change and transformation with particular attention paid to the promises and constraints of the de-growth movement and intersectional class struggle, which will appeal to political economists, researchers, and students alongside those studying South Africa specifically.

Extreme Uneven Development

Sie war Europas größter Filmstar. Und er der Urenkel des letzten deutschen Kaisers. Christiane Höllger lernte beide kennen – nicht als Ikonen, sondern als Freunde Als junge Journalistin begegnet Christiane Höllger im Berlin der 1960er Jahre zwei Menschen, deren Lebenswege unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten: Romy Schneider, die hinter Weltruhm und öffentlicher Projektion um ihre Freiheit ringt, und Friedrich Wilhelm Prinz von Preußen, der seinen Platz sucht zwischen dem Erbe der untergegangenen Monarchie und dem persönlichen Leben als Bürger der Bundesrepublik. Über Jahre hinweg kreuzen sich ihre Wege – zwischen New York, Paris, Athen und vor allem immer wieder in Berlin. Der pulsierenden Stadt voller Widersprüche: Eingeschlossen von der Mauer und zugleich Magnet für Künstler, Intellektuelle und eine neue Generation von Frauen, die Beruf, Muttersein, Unabhängigkeit und internationale Erfahrung miteinander verbanden. Aus Christiane Höllgers persönlichen, poetisch und bewegend erzählten Begegnungen entsteht weit mehr als ein Erinnerungsbuch. Es ist das Porträt einer Generation, die lernen musste, mit Vergangenheit zu leben, ohne sich von ihr bestimmen zu lassen.Mit vielen Fotos aus dem Privatarchiv Christiane Höllgers
