"This textbook provides an expert overview of the challenge of arts and cultural leadership in the contemporary world. Grounded in theories of sustainability and with a renewed global focus for this second edition, the author's insights from contemporary arts organizations facilitate meaningful student comprehension. Drawing on the work of practitioners and theorists in the fields of philosophy, biology, and ecology as well as the arts, Foster proposes a rethinking of organizational design, strategy and structure that is based on ecological concepts and the creative process that is intrinsic to the arts rather than the conventional business model that currently prevails, particularly in western arts and culture organizations. He contests conventional thinking about arts administration and management and urges arts leaders to foreground innovation as they reimagine their organizations for a world unlike any other. New sections include an enhanced theoretical discussion as well as new material on business models, strategy, and organizational design and practice. Applicable to any arts organization, the entrepreneurial focus is especially relevant in the aftermath of the global pandemic, the ongoing climate crisis, and the quest for democracy and social justice. This updated edition will be a valuable resource both for present-day arts and cultural leaders who are working to adapt to the current environment as well as students and future leaders who aspire to make change in the world through arts and cultural leadership"--

Die vielbeschworene Zwischenkriegszeit nach dem Ersten und vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war auch für die deutsch-türkischen Beziehungen eine Phase des Dazwischen: Sie reichte von der Gründung nationalstaatlicher Republiken in Deutschland und der Türkei samt ihren umfassenden gesellschaftlichen und politischen Veränderungen bis in die Jahre des NSRegimes und der Regierung Atatürks. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht die vorliegende Studie das in deutschen Schulbüchern für die Fächer Geschichte und Erdkunde vermittelte und als tradierungswürdig erachtete Wissen über die Türkei. Dabei wird deutlich, wie sehr Schulbuchwissen an der Reproduktion überkommener Stereotype teilhatte, aber auch an der Erzählung, die von der "langen Vergangenheit" der "Bindung zwischen unseren beiden Völkern" (Theodor Heuss) handelt

Connecting special military operations to what it calls special economic operations, special cultural operations, special technological operations, special sexual operations and special political operations, the book argues that special operations are not exclusive. AIso drawing on topical debates about technoscience, the book critically examines invasive technologies in relation to bodily autonomy, integrity and privacy, and it urges scholars and thinkers to compare these invasive technological operations to invasive special military operations. The book grapples with the future of humanity in a world where the human is decentred even as the world is witnessing the proliferation of resource wars. The book is relevant for scholars in anthropology, sociology, politics, government studies, international relations, history, media studies, science and technology studies and disaster management. -- Back cover
