First published in 1979. The report of the Labour Party Defence Study Group, which met from early 1975 to mid-1977, represents a unique attempt to portray defence policy in the context of disarmament and the need to restructure and control the institutions of defence – in particular the defence industry. The report presented the fullest study made by any British political party concerning the implications and consequences of its stated defence policy, and embodied an examination of defence from the perspective of approaches of disarmament. At the same time, the search for a new policy in international relations was harmonised with the further development of a new industrial strategy, concentrating upon the potential for converting part of military industry to civil work. This work which presents a distinctive intervention in the general debate concerning defence policy, industrial and technological planning, economic priorities and public policy, will be of considerable relevance to both specialists in each of these fields as well as the general reader.

Dieses Buch gibt einen breit angelegten und anschaulichen Überblick über internationale Migration und Integration. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen von Migration wie Flucht, Arbeitsmigration, Familienmigration etc. In drei in sich abgeschlossenen Teilen werden Triebfedern und politische Gestaltung von Migration und Integration auf drei Ebenen dargestellt: einer abstrakten konzeptionellen, einer international vergleichenden sowie der Ebene der Migrationspolitik in Deutschland seit 1945. Dabei wird das Geschehen aus der Perspektive der zentralen Akteurinnen und Akteure analysiert, nämlich der Migrantinnen und Migranten selbst, der aufnehmenden und entsendenden Staaten sowie der nicht-staatlichen Akteurinnen und Akteure (Unternehmen, Zivilgesellschaft, Netzwerke).

In wide-ranging interviews with David Barsamian, his longtime interlocutor, Noam Chomsky asks us to consider a world imperiled by climate change and the growing potential for nuclear war. These twelve interviews, conducted from 2013 to 2016, examine the latest developments around the globe: the devastation of Syria, the reach of state surveillance, growing anger over economic inequality, the place of religion in American political culture, and the bitterly contested 2016 U.S. presidential election. In accompanying personal reflections on his Philadelphia childhood and his eighty-seventh birthday, Chomsky also describes his own intellectual journey

"The Kurdish question is one of the most complicated and protracted conflicts of the Middle East and will never be resolved unless it is finally defined. The majority of the Kurdish people live in Turkey, which gives the country a unique position in the larger Kurdish conundrum. Society in Turkey is deeply divided over the definition and even existence of the Kurdish question, and this uncertainty has long manifested itself in its complete denial, or in accusations of political rivals of 'separatism' and even 'treason'. Turkey's Kurdish Question explores how these denial and acknowledgement dynamics often reveal pre-existing political ideology and agenda priorities, themselves becoming political actions. While the very term 'Kurdish question' is discussed in the academic literature as a given, a new and systemic study is required to deconstruct and analyze the constitutive parts of this discursive construct. This book provides the first comprehensive study and analysis of the discursive constructions and perceptions of what is broadly defined as the 'Kurdish question' in Turkish, European and American political cultures. Turkey's Kurdish Question would suit students and scholars of Middle East studies, Conflict studies and Comparative Politics, as well as Turkish or Kurdish studies"--Provided by publisher.

Alter ist gleichermaßen Teil und Ergebnis des Alterns. In den aktuellen gesellschaftlichen und politischen Diskussionen herrscht jedoch ein statisches Verständnis von Alter als einer abgrenzbaren Lebensphase vor. In diesem Band richten deshalb Vertreterinnen und Vertreter aus Philosophie, Literatur- und Geschichtswissenschaften, Soziologie, Ethnologie, Psychologie und Kunstgeschichte ihren Fokus auf den prozessualen Charakter des Alterns: Wie wird Altern diskursiv verhandelt? Wie werden Alterungsprozesse in Kunst und Literatur inszeniert und reflektiert und welchen geschichtlichen Wandlungen unterliegen Vorstellungen des Alterns? Und nicht zuletzt: Wie gehen alternde Menschen mit diesem Prozess um?
