In this century, the world will conduct an extraordinary experiment in government. In 2050, forty percent of the planet's population will live in just four places: India, China, the European Union, and the United States. These are superstates - polities that are distinguished from normal countries by expansiveness, population, diversity, and complexity. How should superstates be governed? What must their leaders do to hold these immense polities together in the face of extraordinary strains and shocks? Alasdair Roberts looks to history for answers. Superstates, he contends, wrestle with the same problems of leadership, control, and purpose that plagued empires for centuries. But they also bear heavier burdens than empires - including the obligation to improve life for ordinary people and respect human rights.One axiom of history was that empires always died. Size and complexity led to fragility, and imperial rulers improvised constantly to put off the day of reckoning. Leaders of superstates are doing the same today, pursuing radically different strategies for governing at scale that have profound implications for democracy and human rights. History shows that there are ways to govern these sprawling and diverse polities well. But this requires a different way of thinking about the art and methods of statecraft.

Diese Studie setzt sich mit der Frage auseinander, wie Lizenzen für juristische Fachdatenbanken optimiert werden können. Im Fokus stehen dabei Lizenzverträge zwischen Anbietern von juristischen Fachdatenbanken als Lizenzgeber sowie Kanzleien und Unternehmen als Lizenznehmer. Letztere stellen die in dieser Studie untersuchte Kundengruppe dar; besonderes Augenmerk liegt daher auf den Präferenzen von Angehörigen der juristischen Berufe und Wissensdienstleistern (z.B. In-House-Bibliothekare oder Knowledge Manager) in Kanzleien und Unternehmen.

"From award-winning journalist Jane Ferguson, an unflinching memoir of ambition and war-from the Troubles to the fall of Kabul. In Northern Ireland in the 1980s and '90s, war was a secret, and young Jane Ferguson wanted to know the truth. For her, war was called the Troubles, bomb threats and military checkpoints on the way to school were commonplace, and an uncle's gunshot wound in IRA crossfire was disguised as a cow kick. Jane developed a penchant for asking questions that cut through this culture of silence, while the unspoken tension in her village exploded into abuse and rage at home. An opportunity to study Arabic in Yemen after college came as a great relief, a ticket to a different, adventurous life-and to the very center of the story. Ferguson has since reported from nearly every war front around the globe-from Yemen and Syria during the Arab Spring, Afghanistan during the fall of Kabul, and Ukraine during Russia's 2022 invasion-but her rise to the highest ranks of journalism has been anything but ordinary. As a scrappy one-woman reporting team, a borrowed camera her only equipment, networks often told her she simply had the wrong accent, even the wrong appearance. Still, her ambition to build a life in journalism on her own terms thrust her into harm's way time and again. While other reporters chased "bang bang shoot 'em up" stories, a different set of questions guided Ferguson's work, ones that gave faces and names to the people experiencing these conflicts. In the face of grave violence and suffering, giving voice to civilian lives seemed a small act of justice, no matter the risks. For fans of Samantha Power, Marie Colvin, and Ariel Levy, Ferguson's bold debut chronicles her unlikely journey from bright, inquisitive child to intrepid war correspondent from the front lines of the most dangerous conflicts and dire humanitarian crises of our time. With an open-hearted humanity we rarely see in conflict stories, No Ordinary Assignment shows what it means to build an authentic career against the odds"--

Whether understood as a long-run historical process or an intentional political project, international development transforms not only societies and economies but also key ideas about how the world works and how problems should be solved. At its best, development yields enormous benefits for human welfare, yet actually realizing and securing them is perhaps humanity's greatest challenge. In this compelling book, Michael Woolcock - Lead Social Scientist at the World Bank - demonstrates that achieving peace and prosperity for all is supremely contingent and often contentious: the means and ends of development are often perceived as alien, unjust, and disruptive, its benefits and costs unequally borne. Many development challenges are not technical problems amenable to an expert's solution, requiring instead extensive deliberation to find and fit context-specific responses. Flailing attempts to "build the rule of law" - perhaps the only development goal shared across the political spectrum in the global North and South - embody this central conundrum. Woolcock insists that it is each generation's challenge to find shared, legitimate, and durable solutions to the moral imperative to reduce human suffering while simultaneously redressing the vexing challenges that development success (let alone failure) inexorably brings.
