Europe - A Nietzschen Perspective (Hardcover): Stefan Elbe Europe - A Nietzschen Perspective (Hardcover)
Stefan Elbe
R4,491 Discovery Miles 44 910 Ships in 10 - 15 working days


There has been a deliberative, but as yet unsuccessful, attempt by scholars and policy makers to articulate a more meaningful idea of Europe, which would enhance the legitimacy of the European Union and provide the basis for a European identity. Using a detailed analysis of the writings of Nietzsche, Elbe seeks to address this problem and argues that Nietzsche's thinking about Europe can significantly illuminate our understanding. He demonstrates how Nietzsche's critique of nationalism and the notion of the 'good European' can assist contemporary scholars in the quest for a vision of Europe and a definition of what it means to be a European citizen.

Virus Alert - Security, Governmentality, and the AIDS Pandemic (Hardcover): Stefan Elbe Virus Alert - Security, Governmentality, and the AIDS Pandemic (Hardcover)
Stefan Elbe
R2,049 Discovery Miles 20 490 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Bound up with the human cost of HIV/AIDS is the critical issue of its impact on national and international security, yet attempts to assess the pandemic's complex risk fail to recognize the political dangers of construing the disease as a security threat. The securitization of HIV/AIDS not only affects the discussion of the disease in international policy debates, but also transforms the very nature and function of security within global politics.

In his analysis of the security implications of HIV/AIDS, Stefan Elbe addresses three concerns: the empirical evidence that justifies framing HIV/AIDS as a security issue, the meaning of the term "security" when used in relation to the disease, and the political consequences of responding to the AIDS pandemic in the language of security. His book exposes the dangers that accompany efforts to manage the global spread of HIV/AIDS through the policy frameworks of national security, human security, and risk management. Beyond developing strategies for mitigating these dangers, Elbe's research reveals that, in construing the AIDS pandemic as a threat, policymakers and international institutions also implicitly seek to integrate current security practices within a particular rationalization of political rule. Elbe identifies this transformation as the "governmentalization" of security and, by drawing on the recently translated work of Michel Foucault, develops a framework for analyzing its key elements and consequences.

R882 Discovery Miles 8 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book argues that the AIDS pandemic is an international security issue because of its impact on the armed forces in Africa, and because of the growing social, political, and economic challenges that it is generating for state stability in the worst affected countries. The international community must devote more resources and more sustained efforts towards addressing the global AIDS pandemic.

Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Sport - Bewegungs- und Trainingslehre, Note: 1,5, Otto-von-Guericke-Universitat Magdeburg, 96 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird nach wissenschaftlichen Beweisen fur die erwarteten Effekte von Dehnung auf Verletzungen und Leistungsfahigkeit gesucht, aus denen Empfehlungen fur den sinnvollen Einsatz von Dehnungstechniken in der Praxis abgeleitet werden sollen. Es ist das Ziel des systematischen Reviews, durch eine Recherche in Literaturdatenbanken und eine Handsuche in medizinischen Fachzeitschriften wissenschaftliche Studien zu finden, die den definierten Auswahlkriterien entsprechen, um eine Beurteilung der methodischen Qualitat und eine Analyse der Studienergebnisse durchzufuhren. Anhand der Zusammenfassung der Beweiskraft der einzelnen Studien soll die Fragestellung beantwortet werden, ob Dehnung einen Einfluss auf die Verletzungspravention und die Leistungsfahigkeit im Sport hat und welche Rolle die angewendete Dehnungstechnik und der Zeitpunkt der Durchfuhrung spielen. Im ersten Kapitel dieser Arbeit werden zum allgemeinen Verstandnis die theoretischen Grundlagen der Beweglichkeit erlautert. Die Einordnung der Beweglichkeit in die Struktur der motorischen Fahigkeiten wird differenziert betrachtet und verschiedene Modelle zur Systematisierung werden vorgestellt (Kapitel 2.1). Neben der Gelenkigkeit wird Beweglichkeit vor allem durch die Dehnfahigkeit der Muskulatur bestimmt. Die Beeinflussung der Dehnfahigkeit durch die zentralnervose Versorgung der Muskulatur und die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Muskelfasern basiert auf komplexen Ablaufen und wird deshalb umfangreich beschrieben (Kapitel 2.3.2.1, Kapitel 2.3.2.2). Im Kapitel 2.4 werden die verschiedenen Dehnungstechniken und ihre erwarteten und tatsachlichen Effekte beschrieben. Im Kapitel 3 wird die Methode der Evidence- based Medicine vorgestellt, da sie neben der Medizin erst in jungster Zeit in
