The cross-organisational meta-evaluation examines project evaluations of eleven governmental and non-governmental organisations in Germany that were (co-)funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

It also analyses factors linked to the application of the quality standards.

This pioneering work explores both the theory and practice of business and technology incubation over the past six decades as an approach to new venture creation and development.

In Why Nations Rise, Manjari Chaterjee Miller shows that some countries rise not just because they develop the military and economic power to do so but because they develop particular narratives about how to become a great power in the style of the great power du jour. Miller not only examines the narratives in historical and contemporary cases, but also shows patterns of active and reticent rising powers and presents lessons.

Die Corona-Krise brachte es an den Tag: Seit Beginn des Jahres 2020 ist die Fassade der westlichen Demokratien zusammengebrochen. Beim Umgang mit der Pandemie griffen die Machthaber fast allerorts zu autoritären Methoden. Ihre Instrumentalisierung geriet zu einem Eliten-Komplott, das jede Verschwörungstheorie in den Schatten stellt. Nichts hat die reale Funktion des bürgerlichen Staates so klar ins Licht gerückt wie diese Krise. Ullrich Mies lässt internationale Experten zu Wort kommen. Sie befassen sich mit der "Neuen Normalität", die die Globalisten der Finanzwelt und des World Economic Forum für die Menschheit vorgesehen haben: eine digitalisierte, kontrollierte und transhumanistische, eine entmenschlichte Welt. Dagegen gilt es, die Analyse zu schärfen und die Erkenntnis als Waffe des Widerstands einzusetzen.

The author argues overall that, during a time of profound on-going challenges within the global economic system, the need for a GPN framework has never been more pressing.

Building the Population Bomb carefully examines how the rise of the world's human population came to be understood as problematic by scientists and governments across the globe. It challenges our assumption of population growth as inherently problematic by demonstrating how it is our anxieties over population growth--and not population growth itself--that have detracted from the pursuit of economic, environmental, and reproductive justice.
