"This book is about the geographic space as an inseparable component of a nation's historical memory, territorial awareness, geopolitical visions, and obsessions. The empirical part of the book focuses on the critical analysis of first-hand sources containing representations of the imagined spaces and places of Bulgaria and Bulgarians from a long-term perspective. The research results are structured in accordance with the author's model of an imagined national space. It contains three general domains: possessed national space, the ethnogeopolitical neighbourhood, and ancient and legendary spaces. The book also explores how Bulgarians' historical and ethnic spaces are linked with specific geopolitics, such as passive internal geopolitics, soft revisionism, non-intervening geopolitical claims, blocking international integration as a disguised form of old territorial claims, and emerging historical geopolitics. It examines how the imagined national space is approached by statesmen, politicians, academics, and other creators of 'high' geopolitics. The book also pays attention to the role of spatial imaginations in growing 'low' (popular) geopolitics, which includes media, popular culture, and national mythology. Written in an interdisciplinary manner, this timely book will attract the interest of scholars and students in geopolitics, human geography, international relations, nationalism studies, and ethnic history"--

Der Band befasst sich mit Zusammenhängen von Sprache, Interkulturalität und Digitalität. Die neun Kapitel untersuchen, wie sich Interkulturalität in verschiedenen Settings digitaler Kommunikation – von YouTube über Tripadvisor bis Twitter – manifestiert und wie sie mit kommunikativen Strategien und komplexen Identitätsdarstellungen verwoben wird.

Antworten auf alle Fragen zur Teilzeitarbeit Der Autor behandelt alle Ansprüche auf Verringerung der Arbeitszeit ausführlich und leicht verständlich. Zahlreiche Beispiele und Übersichten veranschaulichen die Darstellung. Kurzinformationen und praktische Tipps helfen den Beteiligten, konkrete Fragestellungen besser einzuordnen und sich in der individuellen Situation zurechtzufinden. Anspruch auf Arbeitszeitverringerung, Elternteilzeit oder Pflegeteilzeit nach dem TzBfG Besondere Lebenssituationen oder allgemeines soziales Engagement können mit einer vollberuflichen Beschäftigung kollidieren. Eine Möglichkeit zur Lösung solcher Interessenkonflikte bietet die Teilzeitarbeit. Sofern nicht bereits ein Teilzeitarbeitsverhältnis besteht, sind Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer auf das Einverständnis ihrer Arbeitgeber zur Verringerung der Arbeitszeit angewiesen. Scheitert eine einvernehmliche Lösung, besteht unter Umständen die Möglichkeit, auch gegen den Willen des Arbeitgebers eine Arbeitszeitverringerung durchzusetzen. Diese sogenannten Teilzeitansprüche sind in verschiedenen Gesetzen, u.a. im Teilzeit- und Befristungsgesetz (TzBfG) und auch in einigen Tarifverträgen geregelt. Brückenteilzeit und Verlängerung der Arbeitszeit Der Anspruch auf Verringerung der Arbeitszeit soll aber keine Einbahnstraße sein. Daher kann die Verringerung der Arbeitszeit von vornherein zeitlich befristet verlangt werden (Brückenteilzeit). Außerdem haben Teilzeitbeschäftigte unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen einen Anspruch auf Verlängerung ihrer Arbeitszeit.

Der Begriff der Resilienz ist in den Rechtswissenschaften erst in jüngerer Zeit und nur vereinzelt aufgegriffen worden. Bezogen auf den Klimaschutz geht es darum, rechtzeitig und effizient einem weiteren Anstieg der Temperatur entgegenzuwirken sowie schützende Anpassungsstrategien zu entwickeln. Anhand von sieben Vorträgen haben Professorinnen und Professoren der Rechtswissenschaft und weiterer Disziplinen über die interdisziplinäre und gesellschaftliche Dimension der Klimaresilienz, den Energiebinnenmarkt und die europäische Energiesolidarität, mögliche Konflikte zwischen Versorgungssicherheit und Klimaschutz, die Grundstrukturen und Gütekriterien des Klimawandelfolgenrechts sowie das Recht der Hochwasservorsorge diskutiert. Die Beiträge werden durch diesen Band einer weiteren Fachöffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden.Mit Beiträgen vonProf. Dr. Kurt Faßbender | Prof. Dr. Jörg Gundel | Prof. Dr. Patrick Hilbert | Prof. Dr. Charlotte Kreuter-Kirchhof | Prof. Dr. Harald Kunstmann | Prof. Dr. Dres. h.c.

"Gentrification Trends in the United States is the first book to quantify the changes that take place when a neighborhood's income level, educational attainment, or occupational makeup outpace the city as a whole-the much-debated yet poorly understood phenomenon of gentrification. Applying a novel method to four decades of U.S. Census data, this resource for students and scholars provides a quantitative basis for the nuanced demographic trends uncovered through ethnography and other forms of qualitative research. This analysis of a rich data source characterized by a broad regional and chronological scope provides new insight into larger questions about the nature and prevalence of gentrification across the United States. - Has gentrification become more common over time? - Which cities have experienced the most gentrification? - Is gentrification widespread, or does it tend to be concentrated in a small number of cities? - Has the nature of gentrification changed over time? Ideal reading for courses in real estate, urban planning, urban economics, sociology, geography, econometrics, and GIS, this pathbreaking addition to the urban studies literature will enrich the perspective of any scholar of the American city"--

"Confidence man and canny operative, charlatan and manipulator--William A. A. Carsey emerged from the shadow of Tammany Hall to build a career undermining working-class political organizations on behalf of the Democratic Party. Mark A. Lause's biography of Carsey takes readers inside the bare-knuckle era of Gilded Age politics. An astroturfing trailblazer and master of dirty tricks, Carsey fit perfectly into a Democratic Party that based much of its post-Civil War revival on shattering third parties and gathering up the pieces. Lause provides an in-depth look at Carsey's tactics and successes against the backdrop of enormous changes in political life. As Carsey used a carefully crafted public persona to burrow into unsuspecting organizations, the forces he represented worked to create a political system that turned voters into disengaged civic consumers and cemented America's ever-fractious two-party system"--

"In a new era of rising protests, social unrest and political discontent globally, especially over climate change, war dangers, austerity measures and social inequality, the right to protest is a critical democratic right. Yet it is increasingly controversial and subject to government reaction. This book poses a crucial question: how to defend and extend democracy? It examines the critical historical, social, political, ethical and legal issues raised by the basic democratic right to protest and the legislative and executive measures being taken by governments to restrict it. These measures are examined with a focus on three countries with an English legal heritage: the United States, Britain and Australia. These states are frequently held up as models of liberal democracies, respecting core legal and democratic rights. However, an examination shows that they have adopted far-reaching anti-protest laws and other provisions that threaten protest rights and genuine democracy itself. This book will be of interest to all members of society, as well as students, academics and policy-makers in the fields of civil liberties and human rights, constitutional law, criminal justice, national security and environmental studies"--
