»Völlig bescheuert« nannte Bundeskanzler Scholz die Aktionen der Klimaaktivisten »Letzte Generation«. Andere verurteilen den zivilen Ungehorsam der Umweltschützer gar als »Terror«, mittlerweile wird gegen den verhassten Protest sogar mit Präventivhaft vorgegangen.Entgegen der landläufigen Meinung, die solche wilden Protestformen als antidemokratisch abkanzelt, macht der Rechtswissenschaftler Tim Wihl in seiner präzisen Analyse deutlich, dass gerade diese Aktionen entscheidend zur Stärkung und Legitimierung der Demokratie beitragen.Wihl untersucht verschiedene Protestformen von Adbusting über Massendemonstrationen bis hin zu Besetzungen und Blockaden. Er vergleicht die Chancen politischer Freiheit in Deutschland, Frankreich, den USA oder Chile. Und er zeigt, dass das deutsche Protestrecht wesentlich an die Verfassung der Kaiserzeit anknüpft - und nicht etwa an das fortschrittliche Erbe der Revolution von 1918.Entschieden plädiert Wihl dafür, einem alternativen Verfassungsdenken zum Durchbruch zu verhelfen. Denn ziviler Ungehorsam ist keine Straftat, sondern eine demokratische Errungenschaft.

Es soll die größte Revolution unserer Tage sein: die Gleichwertigkeit und Gleichberechtigung von Frau und Mann. Doch Krieg und Frieden zwischen den Geschlechtern begannen nicht erst mit dem Feminismus des 20. Jahrhunderts, sondern bereits mit ihrem Zusammen­leben. Und natürlich stimmt es mitnichten, dass die Frau "bitterer als der Tod" ist, wie es in der Bibel steht - was allerdings eine Haltung reflektiert, die erheblich zur Diskriminierung der Frauen beitrug. Der bekannte Psychiater und Autor An­dreas Marneros geht auf unterhaltsame, spannende und sachkundige Weise der Entstehungsgeschichte und den psychologischen Mechanismen der Geschlechterbeziehungen, insbesondere der sogenannten "Misogynie", nach. Dabei erzählt er von der Rolle, die Religion, Philosophie, Mythologie, Geschichte, Wissenschaft und Politik als Verursacher und Verstärker der Diskriminierung von Frauen spielen – eine Diskriminierung, die nicht im Hass, wie allgemein behauptet, sondern in der Angst vor den Frauen begründet ist. Marneros zeigt Wege auf, wie diese Angst der Männerwelt vor der Gleichberechtigung abgebaut werden kann. Sein Fazit lautet: Dazu reicht Gleichstellung allein nicht aus, eine flächendeckende und die Frauen respektierende, eine "gynäkophile" Kultur ist dringend nötig. Eine Kultur allerdings, die auch den Mann respektiert.

"From the financial crash to the climate emergency and Covid, this book demonstrates that recent crises have had unequal impacts, that they require a heterodox approach to economics for their understanding, and new ways of thinking are needed to address them. Drawing on a variety of heterodox and radical perspectives and global voices, including those from India, Africa, and South America, this collection explores the causes and impacts of global emergencies from a wide array of viewpoints. The first section outlines how the pandemic has shown up the biases of orthodox thought and policy, particularly its Eurocentric and patriarchal focus on the urban, formal economy. It outlines how adding an international dimension to institutional analysis uncovers systematic inequalities in the responses to emergencies, and how new paradigms can provide better alternatives. The massive interventionism worldwide has led to renewed interest in the global financial system, and also in Marxian approaches to money. The second section of the book therefore considers a range of alternative approaches to the study of finance - from Marx to Minsky - which are currently being revisited. The collection concludes with a suggestion for heterodox economics pedagogy, since changing economics education is vital for future dissemination of real-world ideas. The book will be of interest to a variety of researchers and postgraduate students, and lecturers, especially in the fields of development, health, labour and feminist economics, also international political economy and heterodox economics"--

"This book uncovers the processes at play in the development of cultural policies, projects and networks in spaces at the edge of their countries, marked by their proximity with a borderline. On a subject which is studied mainly in North America and Western Europe and based on individual case studies, its originality lies in offering a comparative view on the subject, as well as in comparing a European case - the France-Germany borderlands - to a South American case - the Brazil-Uruguay borderlands. Through a multi-sited ethnographic study, it develops an analysis of the formal and informal processes and networks which sustain this cultural action, looking at the relative contribution of processes led by institutions, cultural agents and the civil society. Providing theoretical tools for the analysis of the way cultural ecosystems function in borderlands, this book is valuable reading for scholars of cultural policy, geography and arts management"--

"This book provides a comprehensive assessment of African economic integration through the lens of International Economic Law. The analysis is contextualized within the prevailing regional economic integrations, the WTO and the peculiarity of AfCFTA. Through legal analysis, bolstered by economic and political dimensions of AfCFTA, the book illustrates the complex interplay of diverse factors that shape AfCFTA. Each chapter presents a separate element of economic integration within the principles of international economic law, with an interdisciplinary approach encompassing legal, economic and political perspectives. Covering topics such as economic integration and multilateralism, market access, exceptions, trade facilitation, rules of origin, non-tariff barriers, the book also discusses trade remedies, dispute settlement, investment, intellectual property, and completion policy. Additionally, human rights, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable development principles are discussed, alongside small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), digital trade and gender in economic integration. The book will be of interest to students, instructors, practitioners and non-practitioners in this area of international economic law"--
