The New System of Global Governance
CONTENT OF THE BOOK This book shows how the emerging new system of Global Governance will change due to China's economic rise and increasing political importance. There will be a paradigm shift in the functioning and interaction of the countries and nations of the earth. A New System of Global Governance is emerging. The New System of Global Governance will have to function according is to new rules to meet with the approval of the majority of the countries and nations. The hegemonic system of global governance that we have witnessed for more than a century, with the principle of armed conflict as the main political tool, will no longer be able to function. The main reasons for this are of cultural origin. A characteristic feature of "capitalist civilization" is its origin in Europe. With the re-entry of China as a player in world history the situation changed dramatically. China belongs to a different cultural area. Therefore, the further development of global capitalism, and in particular of the New System of Global Governance, will not remain one-dimensionally European, and will not develop in a linear sequence. A paradigm shift will occur.
Europe in Search of Her Soul
The civilization of the modern world takes its origins in the Renaissance in Europe. A Historical reconstruction of the creation of modern Europe since the Renaissance leads to a thorough understanding of the critical and constituent elements that are characteristic of the mindset of Europe and its people. These principal elements are the growing individual consciousness and the role played by the individual in society, the specific European view on progress, and the unique European view on growth. Science and technology are the foundation and basic melody of the Western model of capitalism and life in modern Europe. In their combination, this complex of factors and forces has driven Europe ...
How We Sold Our Future
For decades we have known about the dangers of global warming. Nevertheless, greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase. How can we explain our failure to take the necessary measures to stop climate change? Why are societies, despite the mounting threat to ourselves and our children, so reluctant to take action? In this important new book, Jens Beckert provides an answer to these questions. Our apparent inability to implement basic measures to combat climate change is due to the nature of power and incentive structures affecting companies, politicians, voters, and consumers. Drawing on social science research, he argues that climate change is an inevitable product of the structures of cap...

Joint Production and Responsibility in Ecological Economics
'. . . an ambitious and compelling book. . . provides a paradigmatic approach to ecological economics that - although based on familiar elements - is nonetheless fresh and original. . . It is a work that should be read by a diverse set of students and researchers interested in this field.' - Richard B. Howarth, Environmental Values
Deindustrialisation and Popular Music
The book is a comparative study of popular music cultures in 1980s Torino, Tampere, Manchester and Düsseldorf and their relation to the industrial city as imaginary, as heritage and as everyday reality. Popular music genres, such as hardcore punk, house, industrial, post-punk and heavy metal, share a common origin in 1980s decaying industrial cities. All these genres have been canonized and understood as “scores” for grey, gloomy, decaying urban industrial environments or for their evocation, but is there an organic relationship between de-industrialization and this kind of music production?
Ausweg Wachstum?
Vorwort Vorwort Wachstum ist das Zauberwort in der Diskussion über die Reformierung gese- schaftlicher Abläufe. Doch welche Facetten birgt dieser schillernde Begriff? Durch welche Mechanismen lässt sich Wachstum erzeugen? In welchem V- hältnis steht Wachstum zu dem Wunsch, wirtschaftliche Entwicklung im E- klang mit der Natur zu erreichen? Und nicht zuletzt: Auf welchen Märkten ist Wachstum heutzutage noch möglich? Die Preisträgerinnen und Preisträger des Deutschen Studienpreises 2006 haben sich diesen Fragen auf unkonventionelle Weise genähert und Lösungswege jenseits der ausgetretenen Wege der wiss- schaftlichen und politischen Diskussion beschrieben. Die Beiträge richten einen ...
Stadtgespräch
Warum ziehen Städte Menschen in ihren Bann? Was kann die Kommunalpolitik von der Kognitionswissenschaft lernen? Wie kann die Verwaltung urbane Transformation aktiv gestalten? Diesen Fragen geht Sven Matis auf den Grund. Er zeigt, dass Kommunikation weit mehr als ein Mittel der Verwaltung ist, sondern Treib- und Klebstoff für urbanes Lebens. Kommunikation schafft Wissen, steuert menschliche Aufmerksamkeit und ermöglicht den Austausch von Meinungen und Erfahrungen. Das Buch bietet einen fundierten Überblick über die wachsende Bedeutung von Netzwerken - sei es im individuellen Bewusstsein oder in der Stadtentwicklung. Der Autor beleuchtet die Bewusstseinsbildung: von der Makroebene der Großstadt bis zur Mikroebene des Gehirns. Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich für Kommunikation, Sozialpsychologie und Transformation der Gesellschaft interessieren. Es bietet Interviews mit renommierten Expertinnen und Experten, die auch als Podcast abrufbar sind.
