The political and symbolic centrality of capital cities has been challenged by increasing economic globalization. This is especially true of secondary capital cities; capital cities which, while being the seat of national political power, are not the primary economic city of their nation state. David Kaufmann examines the unique challenges that these cities face entering globalized, inter-urban competition while not possessing a competitive political economy. Varieties of Capital Cities offers empirically rich case studies of four secondary capital cities: Bern, Ottawa, The Hague, and Washington, DC. Analysed with an innovative research framework, this book shows through its clearly structured analysis, that while the pressures facing these cities are the same, the mechanisms they employ to cope with them are very different. They have formulated a wide variety of policies to supplement their capital function with economically promising profiles, even though they cannot escape their destinies as government cities. This book is an impressive contribution to an area of study largely neglected by urban studies, political science, and economic geography. With vital lessons for urban policy makers, the interested practitioner will find a pool of inspiration for their urban strategies. Students and scholars of these subjects will find this book interesting, and will also find it invaluable as a lesson for how to develop and execute comparative case studies

Die Diskussionen um Kontinuitäten und Umbrüche zwischen dem späten Mittelalter und der Reformationszeit nötigen zu einer Klärung der historiographischen Stellung der Reformation. Im Zentrum der einzelnen Studien dieses Buches steht die Frage nach dem »Anfang« der Reformation als eines in sich komplexen Ereignisses. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die literarischen Akteure der reformatorischen Bewegung, allen voran Luther, Traditionen konstruierten, in denen sie ihre Anliegen legitimierten und plausibilisierten. An den »Anfängen« der Reformation stehen auch bestimmte Traditionskonstruktionen der vorreformatorischen Ketzergeschichte, des Bibelgebrauchs und der reform- und der politiktheoretischen Literatur des 15. Jahrhunderts.Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt in Thomas Kaufmanns Studien liegt auf den Kommunikationsdynamiken, die die Reformation mittels »neuer Medien« über den Bereich der akademischen Diskussionen in eine breitere Öffentlichkeit getragen haben. Lehrbildungen und Identitätsentwürfe, die den inneren Zusammenhang und die Dissoziationsprozesse der reformatorischen Bewegung darstellen, bilden einen weiteren Fokus. Dem Verfasser geht es im Kern darum, Luther und die unterschiedlichen Rezeptionen, die ihm zuteilwurden, aufeinander zu beziehen. Dies wird vornehmlich an Texten und Sachverhalten der frühen 1520er Jahre aufgezeigt.»Ein unglaublich gelehrtes, in viele Einzelheiten der frühen Neuzeit einführendes Buch, weit über theologische Fragen hinausgehend und doch immer nach der Relevanz für die Theologie fragend.

"This book traces how resilience is conceptually grounded in an understanding of the world as interconnected, complex and emergent. In an interconnected world, we are exposed to radical uncertainties, which require new modes of handling them. Security no longer means the promise of protection, but it is redefined as resilience - as security in-formation. Information and the Internet not only play a key role for our understanding of security in highly connected societies, but also for resilience as a new program of tackling emergencies. Social media, cyber-exercises, the collection of digital data and new developments in Internet policy shape resilience as a new form of security governance. Through case studies in these four areas this book documents and critically discusses the relationship between resilience, the Internet and security governance. It takes the reader on a journey from the rise of complexity narratives in the context of security policy to a discussion of the Internet́'s influence on resilience practices, and ends with a theory of resilience and the relational. The book shows how the Internet nourishes narratives of connectivity, complexity and emergency in political discourses, and how it brings about new resilience practices. This book will be of much interest to students of resilience studies, Critical Security Studies, Internet-politics, and International Relations in general."--Provided by publisher

The vexed and sometimes shocking story of Martin Luther, one of the most important figures in modern European history, and his increasingly vitriolic attitudes towards the Jews - as well as the ominous legacy of Luther's anti-semitism for the future of Germany in the centuries to come

This paper studies Ramsey-optimal monetary and fiscal policy in a New Keynesian 2-country open economy framework, which is used to assess how far fiscal policy can substitute for the role of nominal exchange rates within a monetary union. Giving up exchange rate flexibility leads to welfare costs that depend significantly on whether the law of one price holds internationally or whether firms can engage in pricing-tomarket. Calibrated to the euro area, the welfare costs can be reduced by 86% in the former and by 69% in the latter case by using only one tax instrument per country. Fiscal devaluations can be observed as an optimal policy in a monetary union: if a nominal devaluation of the domestic currency were optimal under flexible exchange rates, optimal fiscal policy in a monetary union is an increase of the domestic relative to the foreign value added tax.
