EU internal security concerns such as migration, police and judicial cooperation are today part of EU foreign policy. This book shows how those concerns dominate the EU agenda towards Mediterranean countries. Adopting a rational-choice institutionalist approach, it explores EU policy and the strategic choices made after the 2011 Arab revolts.

Contributors offer new approaches to the study of the European Neighbourhood Policy. While the main emphasis is on the empirical assessment of the impact that the ENP has had to-date and on the factors that have shaped its implementation, it also provides new theoretical and methodological perspectives on how to study this policy area.

Minority languages in Europe, as part of a common cultural heritage, need protection. The contributions to this book reflect urgent, stimulating and productive debates among researchers in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, politics and sociology, and among language activists and policy makers. At the heart of the debate are the effectiveness of the existing political and legal frameworks aimed at protecting linguistic and cultural diversity, and prospects for the survival of minority languages in the process of European integration.

This volume presents a comprehensive and up-to-date picture of ethnopolitics in Europe. It details the dynamics of the political mobilization of ethnic groups across the continent and its consequences for domestic and international politics. Written by recognized experts in the field and following a clear structure, this is an essential reference work for any student of contemporary Europe, allowing for systematic cross-national and cross-community comparisons. It also serves as a unique data source on the continent's politically mobilized ethnic groups. "The Ethnopolitical Encyclopaedia of Europe" is the first work of its kind that systematically and rigorously examines the politics of ethnicity throughout the continent as a whole. Rather than indulge in a tour of Europe designed to unearth as many diverse population groups as possible, the Encyclopaedia is focused and serves as a unique data source on the continent's politically mobilized ethnic groups. In order to facilitate easy access, the various regions of Europe are assessed and then the nature of the politics of ethnicity is analyzed on a country-by-country basis. The combination of incisive entries, maps, tables and easy-to-use country guides makes this an invaluable reference book for both academics and practitioners.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1919 Edition.

by David C Nagel In the last five years visualization has gone from the lab to become a desktop technology for many scientists. Images and 3-D renderings of data sets and mathematical models have evolved from the high-priced hardware and customized software of graphics professionals to low-cost, off-the-shelf commercial software running on personal computers. fu such, scientific visualization has taken its place beside mathematical modeling as an everyday means of interacting with one's data. This has significantly changed both the amount and the quality of information that scientists are able to extract from raw data, and has effectively established a new paradigm for scientific computing. In addi tion, new, low-cost hardware and software technologies such as CD-ROMs, digital video, and Apple's QuickTime time-based media of image and and compression technologies have enabled large amounts animation data to be easily accessible to the average researcher or teacher through the personal computer. However, little has been done in the way of providing a context within which the researcher or teacher could learn which approaches might be best suited for a given problem. Furthermore, most scientists are unfamiliar with the terminology and concepts in modern computer graphics, which simply steepens the learning curve for them to apply the new technologies to their work. fu a result, researchers and teachers are not yet taking full advantage of the new paradigm.

Marly Gentry is a fast rising star in the world of pharmaceutical marketing, responsible for opening new international markets and gaining market share beyond what anyone could expect of a small, privately owned company. But while on a business trip, her life is forever turned upside down. She meets sportswriter Jake Weatherby and they begin a torrid affair until Marly's life is shattered when Jake is killed in a terrorist bombing in Tel Aviv. Distraught and full of uncontrolled anger, she vows revenge. While aiding the Israeli Mossad in identifying the terrorists, she is recruited as an assassin by a secret elite group of the CIA. Marly is found to be uniquely qualified and continues to use her business travel in pharmaceuticals to travel undetected as she carries out her "contracts." But when injured on a mission that goes awry in Paris, she is left with amnesia, only to be nursed to health by her recruiter Marcello, and once again finds herself in love. This time, their vow, she is certain, will last a lifetime. Keenly observed and intricately plotted, David Wolff's debut novel is not only a fascinating tale of vengeance, served with edge of seat suspense at the end of a pistol, but it is also a moving, torrid love story as intimate and engaging as any romance novel can be.

1919. Wolff writes in the Preface: Paris Churches, many of them, have an entrancing historical as well as a precious architectural interest. Curious old legends are often connected with their foundation. I have aimed at giving in concise and simple form their history rather than a mass of architectural detail. Those who have time can study for themselves from personal observation, by far the best way, and with the help of books of reference, the intricacies of the architectural features of the Churches. It is a rich field of study. Many people from habit and knowledge are able to take in at a glance the most salient points of architectural interest. What we all love to know in looking upon and wandering through a grand building which has stood for ages, are the circumstances of its birth, the course of its growth, the stories connected with it. A wonderful collection of vignettes describing the great churches of Paris.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Marketing, Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, Note: 2,2, AKAD-Fachhochschule Leipzig, Veranstaltung: Diplomarbeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Offnungszeiten im Einzelhandel haben sich in den letzten Jahren deutlich verlangert. Darin spiegeln sich die Bedurfnisse der Konsumenten nach zeitlich flexiblen Einkaufsmoglichkeiten wider. Der Wandel von Haushalts- und Familienstrukturen und die zunehmende Verbreitung flexibler Arbeitszeitmodelle sind die treibenden Krafte hinter dem Wunsch der Verbraucher, weitgehend unabhangig von der Tageszeit Guter des taglichen Bedarfs - insbesondere Lebensmittel - erwerben zu konnen. Die rege Nutzung von Spatoffnungszeiten lasst den Schluss zu, dass es gute Grunde fur Spateinkaufe gibt. Die hohe Akzeptanz deutet ausserdem darauf hin, dass der Trend zum Spateinkauf nicht nur eine kurzfristige Erscheinung darstellt, sondern eine gewisse Nachhaltigkeit besitzt. Fur Unternehmen sind Kenntnisse der Kundenbedurfnisse, Bereitstellung eines passenden Waren- und Dienstleistungsangebots und ein entsprechender Personaleinsatz zentrale Voraussetzungen fur eine hohere Wettbewerbsfahigkeit. Die Bedurfnisse und Anspruche der Spateinkaufer sind allerdings bisher kaum systematisch untersucht worden. Dabei ist dieses Wissen sowohl von wissenschaftlichem als auch von unternehmerischem Interesse. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll helfen, fundierte Erkenntnisse daruber zu gewinnen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden ca. 500 Spateinkaufer hinsichtlich ihres Kaufverhaltens, ihrer Anspruche und Bedurfnisse befragt. Daraus wurden verschiedene Differenzierungsmerkmale der Gruppe der Spateinkaufer bestimmt, die Haufigkeiten untersucht und schliesslich die wichtigsten Grunde fur den Einkauf nach 20 Uhr herausgearbeite

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Regionalgeographie, Note: keine, Universitat Stuttgart (Institut fur Geographie), Veranstaltung: Regionale Geographie Frankreich, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1 Zur Definition von Global Cities "Global Cities sind zentrale Standorte fur hochentwickelte Dienstleistungen und Telekommunikationseinrichtungen, wie sie fur die Durchfuhrung und das Management globaler Wirtschaftsaktivitaten erforderlich sind. In ihnen konzentrieren sich tendenziell auch die Konzernzentralen insbesondere von Unternehmen, die in mehr als einem Land tatig sind." "Beyond their sometimes long history as centers for world trade and finance, some cities now function as command points in the organization of the world economy, as sites for the production of innovations in finance and advanced services for firms, and as key marketplaces for capital." ...]

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Personal und Organisation, Note: gut, AKAD Fachhochschule Stuttgart, Veranstaltung: FGI01 - Fuhrung von Mitarbeitern, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1.Einleitung In der Unternehmenswelt ist das Thema Motivation in den letzten Jahren sehr prasent geworden. Ein Hauptgrund dafur liegt darin, dass die Bedeutung der Arbeits-leistung in einer produktivitatsorientierten Arbeitsumgebung deutlich gestiegen ist. Gleichzeitig haben sich mit weiterfortschreitender internationaler und globaler Arbeits-teilung die Leistungserstellungsprozesse in Firmen stark zergliedert. Als Schlagworte zu nennen sind Internationalisierung und Globalisierung, zunehmende Spezialisierung, die Konzentration auf Kernkompetenzen, Externalisierung (Outsourcing), zunehmende Technisierung und Virtualisierung von Geschafts-prozessen (E-Business). Diese Entwicklungen tragen tendenziell weiter dazu bei, dass die Stellen-anforderungen ebenso wie die Arbeitsablaufe spezieller und umfangreicher werden. Dabei besteht die Gefahr, dass das grosse Ganze," d.h. das ubergeordnete Unternehmens-ziel, fur den einzelnen Mitarbeiter ausser Sichtweite gerat. Sein gefuhlter Beitrag zum grossen Ganzen" wird geringer, worunter seine Motivation leiden konnte. Die Wirtschaft lebt von dem Einsatz von Ressourcen, und der wichtigst e] Rohstoff ist die Bereitschaft zum Mitmachen." Die Mitarbeitermotivation setzt an diesem Punkt an, um die Bedeutung von personlichen, beruflichen und Unternehmenszielen hervorzuheben. Dies ist primar die Aufgabe des Vorgesetzten. Das Thema Mitarbeitermotivation in allen Facetten im Rahmen eines Referates zu behandeln, ist aufgrund des Umfangs und der Komplexitat des Themas naturgemass nicht umfassend moglich. Das Ziel des Referates ist es daher, einen Uberblick uber die wichtigsten Themen-bereiche zu geben. Dazu gehoren neben einer kurzen Definition auch die Einord-nung des Motivationsbegriffs in der Berufswelt sowie der dortigen Bedeu

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Wirtschaftsgeographie, Note: nicht benotet, Universitat Stuttgart (Institut fur Geographie), Veranstaltung: Seminar zur Regionalen Geographie: Metropolen der Dritten Welt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Flache Tansania betragt insgesamt 945087 km und ist damit uber 2,5 mal grosser als Deutschland. Auf das Festland von Tanganyika entfallen 942626 km der Gesamtflache, auf die Dar es Salaam vorgelagerte Insel Sansibar 2461 km . Die Bevolkerung betrug 1997 etwa 31 Mio. Uber das Bevolkerungswachstum liegen oft nur mehr oder weniger genauer Schatzungen vor, da erstens die letzte Volkszahlung 1988 stattfand und zweitens die Bevolkerungsentwicklung weitaus dynamischer verlauft als z.B. in europaischen Landern. Offiziell wuchs die Bevolkerung 1998 mit einer Rate von 2,9%. Der Durchschnitt von 1991bis 1997 wird ebenfalls mit 2,9% angegeben; andere Schatzungen liegen bei bis zu 3,8%) Die Bevolkerungsdichte betragt fur Tansania insgesamt etwa 34 Einwohner/km, fur Tanganyika 26,5 E/km und Sansibar 269 E/km . Staatssprachen sind Suaheli und Englisch; daneben existieren aber naturlich noch die Sprachen der anderen Nationalitaten. Tanganyika wurde am 09.12.1961 (Independence Day) zur Commonwealth-Monarchie und erreichte 1962 die Unabhangigkeit als Republik. Sansibar wurde am 10.12.1963 unabhangig. Beide Staaten schlossen sich am 27.04.1964 zur Vereinigten Republik Tansania zusammen. Staatsform: Foderative Prasidialrepublik Hauptstadt: de jure Dodoma, de facto noch Dar es Salaam Dar es Salaam liegt im Osten von Tansania, direkt am Indischen Ozean. Die ostafrikanischen Kustenplatze unterlagen in der Vergangenheit zahlreichen Einflussen anderer Kulturen, wobei sich grob die drei wichtigsten Zeitabschnitte wie folgt unterteilen lassen: - Die voreuropaische Zeit, von etwa Christi Geburt bis zur ersten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. - Die Zeit der europaischen Vorherrschaft, vom 19. Jahrhundert b
