"This volume investigates how urban growth and prosperity transformed the cities of the Roman Mediterranean in the last centuries BCE and the first centuries CE, integrating debates about Roman urban space with discourse on Roman urban history. The contributions explore how these cities developed landscapes full of civic memory and ritual, saw commercial priorities transforming the urban environment, and began to expand significantly beyond their wall circuits. These inter-related developments not only changed how cities looked and could be experienced, they also affected the functioning of the urban community, and together contributed to keeping increasingly complex urban communities socially cohesive. By focusing on the transformation of urban landscapes in Late Republican and Imperial period, the volume adds a new, explicitly historical angle to current debates about urban space in Roman studies. Confronting archaeological and historical approaches, the volume presents developments in Italy, Africa, Greece and Asia Minor, thus significantly broadening the geographical scope of the discussion, and offering novel theoretical perspectives alongside well-documented, thematic case studies. Urban Space and Urban History in the Roman World will be of interest to anyone working on Roman urbanism, or Roman history in the Late Republic and early Empire"--

A comprehensive analysis of the ways, networks and structures of cultural politics on state level which shows that cultural politics currently experience a crisis concerning their purpose and structure that is inherent in the system. - Kaum ein Politikfeld ist so heterogen zusammengesetzt, normativ aufgeladen und von symbolischen Handlungen geprägt wie die Kulturpolitik. Über die Funktionsweise dieses Feldes liegen bislang nur vereinzelte politikwissenschaftliche Studien vor. Michael Flohr wählt das selbsternannte »Kulturland Thüringen« als Fallbeispiel, um Handlungsfelder, Praktiken, Governance-Formen und Netzwerke in der Kulturpolitik zu untersuchen. Die Analyse stützt sich auf eine umfangreiche qualitative und quantitative Datenbasis und belegt: Kulturpolitik befindet sich in einer systemimmanenten Sinn- und Strukturkrise.

The Role of Business in Global Governance offers an empirically rich analysis of the new political role of corporations in the co-performance of governance functions beyond the state. Within comparative case studies, potential explanations of the political role of transnational corporations are systematically tested.

The Role Of Business in Global Governance offers a theoretically innovative and empirically rich analysis of the new political role of corporations in the co-performance of governance functions beyond the state. It takes stock of the different types of private contributions to transnational governance as an expression of the new interplay between the state, the business sector and civil society. It provides an understanding, grounded in theory, of the potential and the limits of private self-regulatory arrangements as components of future global governance architecture. It investigates under what conditions which kinds of private contributions to governance beyond the state can be expected; and offers a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness and legitimacy potential of private contributions to global governance. By conceptualizing the role change of business actors as corporate norm-entrepreneurship and employing a comprehensive set of criteria for its evaluation, this book goes much further than other studies in the field.
