This book discusses the impact of cultural diversities and
identities on regional and interregional cooperation, as well as on
multilateralism. Employing a comparative approach to organizations
such as ASEAN, MERCOSUR, SAARC, and the African and European
Unions, this volume seeks to understand their distinctive features
and patterns of interaction. It also explores the diffusion of
multidimensional interregional relations, including but not limited
to the field of trade. Scholars from several disciplines and four
continents offer insights concerning the consequences of both
multiple modernities and the rise of authoritarian populism for
regionalism, interregionalism, and multilateralism. The Covid-19
pandemic confirmed the decline of hegemonic multilateralism. Among
alternative possible scenarios for global governance, the "new
multilateralism" receives special attention. This book will be of
key interest to European/EU studies, economics, history, cultural
studies, international relations, international political economy,
security studies, and international law.

This edited book focuses on the dynamic balance between global
cultural diversity and multilateral convergence in relevant policy
areas that involve actual and potential policy convergences (and
divergences): the environment, trade, peace and security, and human
rights. It offers theoretical reflections about the impact of the
concept of multiple modernities on new ideas, cultural backgrounds,
and/or national or regional particularities. An interdisciplinary
team of authors combines comparative policy analysis with
theoretical dialogue about the conceptual, institutional,
normative, and political dimensions of a new kind of multilateral
cooperation. Finally, the book concludes that by stimulating an
intercultural dialogue which goes beyond a mere "rational choice"
approach, we can foster progress through a better understanding of
the opportunities and limitations offered by a pluralist, varied,
post-hegemonic, and multilayered form of multilateral cooperation.
This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of
European/EU studies, economics, human rights, climate change,
history, cultural studies, international relations, international
political economy, security studies, and international law.
Seit 2006 ist die neue Bauordnung von Berlin in Kraft, die
weitgehend die Regelungen der Musterbauordnung 2002 aufgreift. Die
aktuelle Berliner Bauordnung beruht auf den grundsätzlichen
Erwägungen, sich im Verfahrens- wie im materiellen Recht auf die
aus heutiger Sicht notwendigen Regelungen zu beschränken.
Teilziele sind - Stärkung der Eigenverantwortung der am Bau
Beteiligten, - Reduzierung der Prüfprogramme der
Baugenehmigungsverfahren, - Deregulierung und Vereinfachung des
materiellen Bauordnungsrechts. Die 6. Auflage des bewährten
Kommentars liefert aktuelle Erläuterungen, in die
Praxiserfahrungen der letzten zwei Jahre Eingang fanden.
Ausführlich behandelt werden unter anderem das
Abstandsflächenrecht, der Brandschutz, die am Bau Beteiligten, die
bauaufsichtlichen Verfahren, die Behandlung des Bauantrages, die
Prüfung bautechnischer Nachweise und die Regelungen über
Bauprodukte und Bauarten.
As the founder of Institute 193 in Kentucky, and the director of
the Souls Grown Deep Foundation in Georgia, Phillip March Jones is
an active presence in the thriving photography culture of the
American South. Despite his busy career, Jones' newest book is
about slowing down. Points of Departure is a collection of Polaroid
photographs documenting memorials on the sides of highways,
interstates, main-streets and back roads. This volume, handsomely
produced by the august Jargon Society, offers a gently haunting
portrait of these often ephemeral memorials, drawing out their
folk-art qualities.
This book examines the role of the cultural factor, and patterns of
its interaction with social, economic and political developments,
in fostering identity-based new populisms and various forms of
political authoritarianism across the globe. Comparing
authoritarianism in the Asian and Western context, this book
attempts to shed light on the different ways in which new political
actors make use of cultural traditions or constructs in order to
justify their claims to power and challenge the culture of
modernity as understood in the Western world. Lastly, the book
focuses on the consequence of these new challenges for multilateral
cooperation at regional and global levels, asking the question: is
the world going towards fragmentation and anarchy or a pluralist
and innovative form of multilateral cooperation? This book will be
of key interest to scholars and students of populism and
authoritarianism studies, democracy, global governance and more
broadly to international relations.
This book represents the first discussion from a political science
perspective of the concept of Multiple Modernities in three
dimensions. First taking stock of the discussions of the concept
itself, the book then connects the concept to more recently
developed analytical and normative concepts that concretize it,
before finally opening up a discussion about its implications and
consequences for the political dimension. Written by outstanding
scholars in the field, the book addresses four principal concepts -
Good Society, Good Governance, Human Security and Varieties of
Capitalism. It determines whether and to what degree these concepts
enable us to discover the commonalities and differences that
distinguish the emerging multiple modernities in our time with
respect to their political implications and consequences. This text
will be of key interest to scholars and students of political
theory, political economy, international relations, comparative
politics and sociology.

Bone and Cartilage Engineering provides a complete overview of
recent knowledge in bone and cartilage tissue engineering. It
follows a logical approach to the various aspects of extracorporal
bone and cartilage tissue engineering. The cooperation between a
basic scientist and a clinician made it possible to structure the
book's content and style according to the interdisciplinary
character of the field. The comprehensive nature of the book,
including detailed descriptions of laboratory procedures,
preclinical approaches, clinical applications, and regulatory
issues, will make it an invaluable basis for everyone working in
this field. This book will serve as a fundamental tool for basic
researchers to establish or refine tissue engineering techniques as
well as for clinicians to understand and use this modern
therapeutic option.

Iran has one of the oldest town cultures in the world. It goes back
more than 4,000 years. Between the Islamic conquest in the seventh
century and the westernisation in the second half of the nineteenth
century, the cities and towns in today's Islamic Republic of Iran
underwent repeated changes. The Persian building culture influenced
architects and artists as far as Central Asia in the north and
India in the east. Unlike any other oriental country, Iran shows a
unique urban and architectonic development whose defining
characteristics merged with other cultures over the course of time,
representing an important contribution to world architecture. In
his Iran Architectural Guide, the author and architect Thomas
Meyer-Wieser embarks on a journey into history, showcasing nearly
300 buildings and projects in Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz. His
focus is on the identity of the Iranian- Islamic architecture,
which has held its own since the rise of the Safavids in 1501.

"Art and technology: a new unity" - It was with this slogan that
the Bauhaus moved to Dessau in 1925. The seven years in Dessau were
most productive for the designers and architects at the Bauhaus.
This illustrated volume presents the Bauhaus buildings in Dessau in
words and pictures and offers new perspectives on these icons of
modern architecture. Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, Ludwig Mies van
der Rohe, Richard Paulick, Georg Muche, Carl Fieger and Karl
Friedrich Engemann: the architects at the Bauhaus in Dessau
realized their designs in the industrial city between the Elbe and
the Mulde rivers during the years between 1925 and 1932 and thereby
created a unique ensemble of modern architecture which attracts
visitors from all over the world to Dessau to this day. Since 1996
some of the Bauhaus buildings in Dessau have been regarded as key
works of European Modernism and are included in the list of UNESCO
World Cultural Heritage Sites. They express the revolutionary aim
of the historical Bauhaus to bring about fundamental change in
society through design and architecture.

"Fundamentalismus" ist eine der grossen Herausforderungen der
modernen Welt und zugleich einer der am haufigsten missbrauchten
Begriffe. Ein schillerndes Phanomen, aber keine Schimare: Hoechst
real im Geist rucksichtsloser Kollektive, die im Namen ihrer
selbsterkorenen Gewissheiten unterwerfen und herrschen wollen -
nicht selten aber auch ein nach Belieben gehandhabtes Instrument
zur vernichtenden Etikettierung missliebiger Ideen. Das vorliegende
Buch leistet grundlegende Beitrage zur Klarung der Sache und des
Begriffs.
Die Demokratietheorie kennzeichnet ein merkwurdiges Paradox.
Wahrend die kapitalistische Marktwirtschaft zumeist als
ermoglichende Bedingung liberaler Demokratie verstanden wird,
gelten die radikalen Ungleichheiten, die sie erzeugt, zugleich auch
als eine ihrer zentralen Gefahrdungen. Die hier vorgelegte Theorie
der sozialen Demokratie klart die Bedingungen, die erfullt sein
mussen, wenn der Anspruch rechtsstaatlicher Demokratie
uneingeschrankt erfullt sein soll. Sie begrundet im Anschluss an
die jungste empirische Forschung die Anforderungen an die
Einbettung der Markte, den grundrechtsgestutzten Sozialstaat, die
gesellschaftliche Demokratisierung und faire Globalisierung, die
dafur erfullt sein mussen."
Seit uber zehn Jahren werden Personliche Budgets in Form von
Modellprojekten in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erprobt und bis
heute sind die Erwartungen an die Potenziale hoch gesteckt. Die
Praxis der Budgetverwendung zeichnet hingegen ein ernuchterndes
Bild, da einige der in Sozialpolitik und Wissenschaft diskutierten
Potenziale in der Realitat nur begrenzt umgesetzt werden konnten.
Auch ist wenig uber die Vielfalt der Verwendungsmoglichkeiten und
Spielarten" des Personlichen Budgets bekannt. Auf Basis einer
empirisch begrundeten Typologie wird die Verwendung systematisch
analysiert und ein differenziertes Bild der Budgetnutzung
dargestellt."
In vielen Demokratien wurden in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche
soziale Errungenschaften in Frage gestellt oder schrittweise
abgebaut. Dieser Band fuhrt in die theoretischen, oekonomischen und
praktischen Grundlagen der Sozialen Demokratie ein und bietet somit
eine wichtige Alternative zu neoliberalen Politikentwurfen.
Die Demokratie ist in der Gegenwart mannigfaltigen Bedrohungen
ausgesetzt. Dieses Buch fuhrt in die geschichtlichen Grundlagen und
die Bedingungen der Demokratie ein.
