"This book analyses the interplay of urban agriculture and food sovereignty through the innovative lens of the 'critical urban food perspective'. It focuses on the mobilisation of urban food producers as a powerful response to highly exclusionary dynamics in the agri-food system including insufficient food access and disastrous land dispossessions. This volume particularly aims to fill the gap in the current literature by engaging with food sovereignty discourses and movements in urban areas. Related activism of urban food producers in the Global South remains underrepresented in practice and in literature. Therefore, this book engages with the lived realities of an urban agriculture initiative in George, South Africa. Building on theoretical notions of the 'right to the city' and 'everyday forms of resistance', the book illuminates how deprived food producers expose inequalities and propose alternatives. The findings of in-depth empirical research reveal that dwellers perceive farming as a mean to overcome historical segregation, high food prices, and unhealthy nutrition. Hence, they breathe life into food sovereignty in practice and suggest further alliances beyond the city. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of alternative food politics, agrarian transformation and food movements as well as rural-urban intersections"--

In diesem Sammelband werden Beiträge zusammengefasst, die sich mit der Nutzung der Umwelt in ihren verschiedenen Funktionen (öffentliches Konsumgut, Rezeptor von Schadstoffen) unter dem besonderen Aspekt der räumlichen Dimensionen von Umweltgütern befassen. Der Band enthält wirtschaftspolitisch und theoretisch ausgerichtete Beiträge. Insbesondere wird versucht, die Bestimmung der anzustrebenden Umweltqualität in räumlichen Systemen (Regionen) und die für die Erreichung dieser Umweltqualität einzusetzenden Instrumente zu erklären.

Die Grundsteuer in Deutschland weist in ihrer Ausgestaltung fundamentale Mängel auf und ist ohne Zweifel dringend reformbedürftig. Die überwiegende Kritik richtet sich an die Verwendung von vollständig veralteten Einheitswerten als Grundlage für die Bemessung der GrSt. Dies verhindert, dass die Steuer ihrem eigenen Besteuerungskonzept - dem Zugriff auf periodisch aktualisierte sowie realitätsnah bewertete Steuerobjekte - gerecht werden kann. Die stattdessen weit rückwärts gerichtete Besteuerungsgrundlage auf den 01.01.1964 bzw. 01.01.1935 hat sich nicht nur von den heute realen Grundstückswerten erheblich entfernt, sondern zugleich zu einer problematischen Verschiebung der Wertrelationen zwischen den Besteuerungsobjekten geführt. Der hohe politische Handlungsdruck auf den Steuergesetzgeber führte zu einer Vielzahl von Reformmodellen, die für die GrSt unterschiedliche Bemessungsgrundlagen vorsehen. Basierend auf den Anforderungskriterien, die an eine neu konzipierte Bemessungsgrundlage gestellt und hier formuliert werden, findet eine Vorstellung der Reformmodelle statt, die zugleich kritisch untersucht werden. Daneben wird eine Loslösung von der Verbundsteuer und damit eine Ausrichtung der Bemessungsgrundlage ausschließlich am Bodenwert diskutiert. Welches Modell eine ökonomisch sinnvolle Alternative zur derzeit geltenden GrSt darstellt, wird in dieser Arbeit untersucht. Katharina Siebert, M. Sc., wurde 1985 in Solikamsk (Russland) geboren und ist im Alter von sieben Jahren nach Deutschland ausgewandert. Nach ihrer Berufsausbildung zur Bürokauffrau in der Bekleidungsbranche entschied sich die Autorin, ihre fachlichen Qualifikationen im Bereich der Betriebswirtschaft durch ein Studium weiter auszubauen. Bereits im Bachelorstudium der Betriebswirtschaftslehre an der Universität Bremen entdeckte die Autorin ihr Interesse für die betriebliche Steuerlehre. Es folgte das Masterstudium mit dem Studienschwerpunkt Finanzen, Rechnungswesen und Steuern, das die Autorin im Jahr 2015 erfolgreich abschloss. Die in den zahlreichen Steuerseminaren gesammelten Kenntnisse motivierten sie, sich der Thematik des vorliegenden Buches zu widmen.

"In Indians Playing Indian, Monika Siebert explores the appropriation, or misappropriation, of Native American cultural heritage for political and commercial ends, and the innovative ways in which indigenous artists in a range of media have responded to these developments. Contemporary indigenous people in North America confront a unique predicament. As legal and diplomatic practice in the early twenty first century returns to the recognition of their status as citizens of historic sovereign nations, popular culture continues to depict them as cultural minorities on the par with other ethnic Americans. This popular misperception of indigeneity as culture rather than as a historically developed political status sustains the myth of America as a refuge to the world's immigrants and a home to successful multicultural democracies. But it fundamentally misrepresents indigenous people who have experienced a history of colonization rather than a tradition of immigration on the continent. Contemporary indigenous cultural production is caught up in this phenomenon of multicultural misrecognition as well. The current flowering of indigenous literature, cinema, and visual arts is typically taken as evidence that Canada and the United States have successfully broken with their colonial pasts to become thriving nations of many cultures, where Native Americans, along other minorities, enjoy full freedom to represent their cultural difference"--
