Integrating the ethics of medicine and the ethics of war, Military Medical Ethics in Contemporary Armed Conflict offers theorists and practitioners, clinicians and commanders the tools they need to distribute scarce medical resources in wartime. Emphasizing that military medicine's goal is to maintain unit readiness and the force capabilities necessary to wage just war, Michael L. Gross instructs readers on when and how compatriot and host nation war fighters, local civilians, detainees, and veterans should receive medical attention. Readers will see how medicine functions also as a weapon of war. To this end, military forces deploy medical care to win local hearts and minds and harness medical science to enhance war fighter capabilities

"This updated, 2nd edition of the Handbook book covers a range of political actors that use Islam to advance their cause. While they share the ultimate vision of establishing a political system governed by Islam, the tactics and methods can be very different. Capturing this diversity, this volume also sheds light on some of the less-known experiences from South East Asia to North Africa. Drawing on the expertise from some of the top scholars in the world, the chapters examine the main issues surrounding political Islam across the world, including: Theoretical foundations of political Islam, Historical background, Geographical spread of Islamist movements, Political strategies adopted by Islamist groups, Terrorism, Attitudes towards democracy, Relations between Muslims and the West in the international sphere, Challenges of integration, Gender relations Capturing the geographical spread of Islamism and the many manifestations of this political phenomenon make this book a key resource for students and researchers interested in political Islam, Muslim affairs and the Middle East"--

With recent advances in computing power and the widespread availability of preference, perception and choice data, such as public opinion surveys and legislative voting, the empirical estimation of spatial models using scaling and ideal point estimation methods has never been more accessible.The second edition of Analyzing Spatial Models of Choice and Judgment demonstrates how to estimate and interpret spatial models with a variety of methods using the open-source programming language R. Requiring only basic knowledge of R, the book enables social science researchers to apply the methods to their own data. Also suitable for experienced methodologists, it presents the latest methods for modeling the distances between points. The authors explain the basic theory behind empirical spatial models, then illustrate the estimation technique behind implementing each method, exploring the advantages and limitations while providing visualizations to understand the results. This second edition updates and expands the methods and software discussed in the first edition, including new coverage of methods for ordinal data and anchoring vignettes in surveys, as well as an entire chapter dedicated to Bayesian methods. The second edition is made easier to use by the inclusion of an R package, which provides all data and functions used in the book. David A.

Verlagsinfo: Neben Denkmälern und Straßennamen zeugen zauberhafte Museumsobjekte von den einstigen Kolonien - doch wie sind sie zu uns gekommen und woher stammen sie? Götz Aly deckt auf, dass es sich in den allermeisten Fällen um koloniale Raubkunst handelt, und erzählt, wie brutal deutsche Händler, Abenteurer und Ethnologen in der Südsee auf Raubzug gingen. So auch auf der Insel Luf: Dort zerstörten sie Hütten und Boote und rotteten die Bewohner fast vollständig aus. 1902 rissen Hamburger Kaufleute das letzte, von den Überlebenden kunstvoll geschaffene, hochseetüchtige Auslegerboot an sich. Heute ist das weltweit einmalige Prachtstück für das Entree des Berliner Humboldt Forums vorgesehen. Götz Aly dokumentiert die Gewalt, Zerstörungswut und Gier, mit der deutsche »Strafexpeditionen« über die kulturellen Schätze herfielen. Das Publikum sollte und soll sie bestaunen - aber bis heute möglichst wenig vom Leid der ausgeraubten Völker erfahren. Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Debatte über Raubkunst, Kolonialismus und Rassismus und zugleich ein erschütterndes Stück deutscher Geschichte. "Götz Aly schätzt, dass 80 bis 90 Prozent der Bestände in den deutschen ethnologischen Museen aus der Kolonialzeit stammen. Deshalb fordert er, dass die Verantwortlichen die Herkunft der Objekte offenlegen, in Zweifelsfällen mit den betroffenen Staaten über den weiteren Verbleib verhandeln und sie gegebenenfalls zurückgeben müssen" (deutschlandfunk.de).

Das "Recht der Freiheit" ist der Versuch, eine andere Theorie der Gerechtigkeit zu schreiben: eine, die nicht auf abstrakte normative Prinzipien fixiert ist, sondern die heute maßgeblichen Kriterien sozialer Gerechtigkeit direkt aus jenen normativen Ansprüchen gewinnt, die sich innerhalb der westlichen, liberaldemokratischen Gesellschaften herausgebildet haben. Zusammen machen sie das aus, was Axel Honneth "demokratische Sittlichkeit" nennt. Im Geiste von Hegels Rechtsphilosophie und unter anerkennungstheoretischen Vorzeichen zeigt er, wie in konkreten gesellschaftlichen Bereichen die Prinzipien individueller Freiheit generiert werden, die die Richtschnur für Gerechtigkeit bilden. Das Ziel des Buches ist ein höchst anspruchsvolles: die Gerechtigkeitstheorie als Gesellschaftsanalyse neu zu begründen.
