used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad

Contributors examine the persistence of administrative patterns in
the face of pressures for globablization by developing a concept of
administrative traditions and describing the traditions that exist
around the world. They assess the impact of traditions on
administrative reforms and the capacities of government to change
public administration.
Western societies are becoming increasingly complex and challenging
to govern, yet the modern state continues to play a central role in
governance. This book presents a detailed analysis of the
challenges confronting the contemporary state and the processes
through which the state addresses those challenges. The notion of
"governing without government" is critiqued; instead, Pierre and
Peters argue that what is happening a more a matter of state
transformation than state decline.
This book examines how national public discourses in Western Europe
have transnationalized over the past two decades and what this
means for the legitimacy of the European Union.The emergence of a
European public sphere is a hot topic in academic as well as
political debates across Europe. This book provides the only
longitudinal study of the transnationalization and Europeanization
of public spheres to date (covering the period 1982-2005). It moves
the research frontier forward in a number of ways: by thoroughly
inspecting the normative expectations directed at the news media
(which are often left implicit in other studies), by employing
comprehensive multidimensional measures of the transnationalization
of public discourses, by combining quantitative and qualitative
methods of media content analysis, and by explaining patterns and
trends of Europeanization rather than only describing them.

Advocates for economic development often call for greater
transparency. But what does transparency really mean? What are its
consequences? This breakthrough book demonstrates how information
impacts major political phenomena, including mass protest, the
survival of dictatorships, democratic stability, as well as
economic performance. The book introduces a new measure of a
specific facet of transparency: the dissemination of economic data.
Analysis shows that democracies make economic data more available
than do similarly developed autocracies. Transparency attracts
investment and makes democracies more resilient to breakdown. But
transparency has a dubious consequence under autocracy: political
instability. Mass-unrest becomes more likely, and transparency can
facilitate democratic transition - but most often a new despotic
regime displaces the old. Autocratic leaders may also turn these
threats to their advantage, using the risk of mass-unrest that
transparency portends to unify the ruling elite. Policy-makers must
recognize the trade-offs transparency entails.
This book takes a fresh look at a widely debated question in
international relations and political communication research: How
can public discourses contribute to democratic governance beyond
the nation state? The book combines quantitative and qualitative
analyses of media content and evaluates them from a democratic
theory perspective.

Scientific studies of monkeys, apes, and other nonhuman primates began just over 50 years ago. Since then tens of thousands of hours of observation have been made on these animals in the wild and in captivity. The chief rationale for scientific primatology has always been the belief that important insights into human behaviour and society could be gained through studies of our evolutionary kin. This book reviews what we have learned. Distinguished researchers outline primatological insights in six areas: sex, parenting, behavioural development, aggression/dominance, culture and kinship. The chapters show how primates have been used as simplified models of human behaviour and how they have contributed to scenarios of human evolution. Lay readers, students, and specialists alike will find this a readable and useful compendium of the findings of scientific primatology. Covering topics from orgasm to ontogeny, parental investment to penis size, and kinship to culture, this book summarizes what studying monkeys and apes has taught us about ourselves.

Die Kundenorientierung ist ein bedeutender strategischer
Erfolgsfaktor. Im Hinblick auf die Entwicklung zuverlassiger und
praktikabler Messinstrumente der Kundenorientierung, einem
wichtigen Forschungsgebiet des Marketing, zeigen bisherige
empirische Ergebnisse allerdings ein verwirrendes Bild.
Bernhard Peter Utzig verdeutlicht inhaltliche, methodische und
wissenschaftstheoretische Ursachen fur diesen Stand der Dinge. Der
Autor entwickelt deduktiv eine Definition und Operationalisierung
der Kundenorientierung und weist anhand der Messung von 190
strategischen Geschaftseinheiten Validitat und Reliabilitat seines
Instruments nach.
