In The Century of Science, a multicultural, international team of authors examines the global rise of scholarly research in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and health (STEM+) fields. At the beginning of the 20th century, the global center-point of scientific productivity was about half way between Western Europe and the U.S., in the North Atlantic. Then, the center moved steadily westward and slightly southward—reflecting the burgeoning science capacity of the U.S. supported by America’s thriving public and private universities, technological innovation, and overall economic growth. After WWII, this began to change as the course of the world’s scientific center of gravity turned and for the next 70 years traveled eastward, the direction it still travels, especially due to the rise of China and other prolific East Asian countries, such as Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Europe continues to be the center of global science. Focusing on these developments, this volume provides historical and sociological understandings of the ways that higher education has become an institution that, more than ever before, shapes science and society. Case studies, supported by the most historically and spatially extensive database on STEM+ publications available, of selected countries in Europe, North America, East Asia, and the Middle East, emphasize recurring themes: the institutionalization and differentiation of higher education systems to the proliferation of university-based scientific research fostered by research policies that support continued university expansion leading to the knowledge society. Growing worldwide, research universities appear to be the most legitimate sites for knowledge production. Countries like France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan began the 20th century with prerequisites in place to realize the emerging model of university-based research. Over the past several decades, China, South Korea, and Taiwan, with different historical legacies and conflicts in education and research policy, have witnessed explosive growth, sustained by public and private funds. Qatar recently embarked on an ambitious government-driven effort to develop a world-class university sector and cultivate academic STEM+ research from scratch. These more recent entrants to the global scientific enterprise pose the question whether it is possible to leapfrog across decades, or even centuries, of cultivating university systems, to compete globally. Simultaneously with international and regional competition, world-leading science increasingly implies collaboration across cultural and political borders as global scientific production and networking continue to rise exponentially. This volume’s case studies offer new insights into how countries develop the university-based knowledge thought fundamental to meeting social needs and economic demands. Despite repeated warnings that universities would lose in relevance to other organizational forms in the production of knowledge, our findings demonstrate incontrovertibly that universities have become more—not less—important actors in the world of knowledge. The past hundred years have seen the global triumph of the research university. [less ▲]

With the demise of four multinational empires at the end of the First World War (Russian, German, Habsburg and Ottoman), nationalist forces all over Europe claimed the right to a territory for what they considered to be their own people. The peace treaties resulting from the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 caused a major redrawing of the map of Europe. As a result of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany handed over a considerable amount of its territory at its Western, Northern and, most significantly, Eastern borders, to neighbouring states. This edited volume focuses on the regions lying in what one could call a ring around Germany lost by Germany after the First World War. The European border regions of an-nexation, as I call them, switched their sovereignty as follows: Alsace-Lorraine became French, Eupen-Malmedy Belgian, North Schleswig Danish, various former Prussian Eastern provinces became Polish, the Hlučin region Czechoslovakian, and the Memel region Lithuanian. By set-ting up a historical comparison of the living conditions of children in European borderlands of annexation throughout the 20th Century, this edited volume provided the context for an encounter of a new combination of categories from different disciplines: Borderland Studies meets Child Studies.

Multicultural societies are a phenomenon that is increasingly observed worldwide. This book brings together theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence on how culture contact is experienced at the individual level. At the heart of this book lies the question of how individuals living within a multicultural society experience the meeting of cultures. The studies were conducted in Luxembourg, a country where the foreign population has reached 45%. Luxembourg is a “natural laboratory” and provides an ideal context in which to study culture contact phenomena and to derive lessons for an increasingly globalized world. The empirical studies indicate a gap between multiculturalist ideas and specific forms of societal participation. The policy implications of the findings are discussed. These include a focus on highlighting similarities between cultures rather than differences, and addressing the issue of reciprocity – expectations of both, the receiving society as well as immigrants.

In recent years sanctions have become an increasingly popular tool of foreign policy, not only at the multilateral level (at the UN), but also regionally (the EU in particular) and unilaterally. The nature of the measures imposed has also changed: from comprehensive sanctions regimes (discredited since Iraq in the 1990s) to 'targeted' or 'smart' sanctions, directed at specific individuals or entities (through asset freezes and travel bans) or prohibiting particular activities (arms embargoes and export bans). Bringing together scholars, government and private practitioners, Economic Sanctions and International Law provides an overview of recent developments and an analysis of the problems that they have engendered. Chapters examine the contemporary practice of the various actors, and the legality (or otherwise) of their activities. Issues considered include the human rights of persons targeted, and the mechanisms established to challenge their listing; as well as, in cases of sanctions imposed by regional organisations and individual states, the rights of third States and their nationals.

The establishment of Banking Union represents a major development in European economic governance and European integration history more generally. Banking Union is also significant because not all European Union (EU) member states have joined, which has increased the trend towards differentiated integration in the EU, posing a major challenge to the EU as a whole and to the opt-out countries. This book is informed by two main empirical questions. Why was Banking Union - presented by proponents as a crucial move to 'complete' Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) - proposed only in 2012, over twenty years after the adoption of the Maastricht Treaty? Why has a certain design for Banking Union been agreed and some elements of this design prioritized over others? A two-step explanation is articulated in this study. First, it explains why euro area member state governments moved to consider Banking Union by building on the concept of the 'financial trilemma', and examining the implications of the single currency for euro area member state banking systems. Second, it explains the design of Banking Union by examining the preferences of member state governments on the core components of Banking Union and developing a comparative political economy analysis focused on the configuration of national banking systems and varying national concern for the moral hazard facing banks and sovereigns created by euro level support mechanisms.

Margraf Publishers Verlagsgesellschaft mbH Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um ein Lexikon anderer Art: Es informiert – je nach Quellenlage oft sehr ausführlich und mit Zitaten von Zeitgenossen oder Nachfahren versehen – über Luxemburger Komponisten und Interpreten. Der Zeitraum 1815-1950 für den 1. Band bot sich aus folgenden Gründen an: 1815 entstand der Luxemburger Staat durch den Wiener Kongress (1814-1815). 1950 steht für einen Einschnitt bzw. Neubeginn in den ersten Nachkriegsjahren nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und kennzeichnet die Jahrhunderthälfte. In Bezug auf die Geburtsjahrgänge der Musiker, die eine Periode von 1773 bis 1914 umfassen, könnte man vom Langen 19. Jahrhundert (1789-1914) sprechen. Die Musiker, die nach 1914 geboren wurden, werden in dem 2. Band des Musikerlexikons vorgestellt werden. [less ▲]

In dem Band werden Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojektes „Wissensbasierte Deutungs- und Handlungskompetenzen von pädagogischen MitarbeiterInnen in Kindertageseinrichtungen“ vorgestellt. Die PädagogInnen reflektieren ihren Alltag unter Rückgriff auf unterschiedliche Ordnungs- und Orientierungsmuster und verweisen nicht explizit auf methodisch-didaktisches oder fachliches Wissen. Keineswegs kann daraus jedoch gefolgert werden, dass solches nicht vorliegt. Skepsis ist somit gegenüber Vorstellungen angebracht, die Wissen individuell gespeichert vermuten, das über einfache Transferprozesse praxiswirksam wird. Vielmehr scheint es sich um sedimentiertes Wissen zu handeln, das kaum zu versprachlichen ist. [less ▲]

Mobilität und Migration rücken Interkulturalität in den Fokus öffentlicher und wissenschaftlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Inwiefern ist das Land Luxemburg aufgrund seiner kulturellen, sozialen und sprachlichen Besonderheiten ein Labor für interkulturelle Herausforderungen und Entwicklungen, speziell auf europäischer Ebene, allgemeiner auch für gesellschaftliche Prozesse im Spannungsfeld von Integration und Diversifikation? Dieser Frage widmet sich der vorliegende Band. Dabei beschränkt sich das Buch nicht auf die nationale Perspektive, sondern sucht auch darüber hinaus der Vielschichtigkeit interkultureller Prozesse unter Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher fachwissenschaftlicher Perspektiven sowie methodischer und theoretischer Zugriffe Rechnung zu tragen.

Computational Systems Biology: Inference and Modelling provides an introduction to, and overview of, network analysis inference approaches which form the backbone of the model of the complex behavior of biological systems. This book addresses the challenge to integrate highly diverse quantitative approaches into a unified framework by highlighting the relationships existing among network analysis, inference, and modeling. The chapters are light in jargon and technical detail so as to make them accessible to the non-specialist reader. The book is addressed at the heterogeneous public of modelers, biologists, and computer scientists. [less ▲]

Wie verlief der Prozess der Erinnerung an den Zweiten Weltkrieg in Frankreich, Luxemburg und Deutschland? Wie kam es, dass aus einer gemeinsamen Geschichte von Unterdrückung, Auflehnung, (Mit)täterschaft und Opportunismus nach dem Krieg eine getrennte Erinnerung wurde? Die im Titel des vorliegenden Bandes vorgenommene Gegenüberstellung von „histoire“ und „mémoire“ verweist auf die Diskrepanz zwischen erlebter Vergangenheit und überlieferter Geschichte. Es ist die „mémoire“, das im Nachhinein konstruierte „Gedächtnis“ in Form von nationalen „Meistererzählungen“, die den Akzent auf das Trennende, das spezifisch Nationale legt. Die vorliegenden Beiträge bieten kritische Analysen der Darstellung und Deutung der Vergangenheit. Im Fall des ehemaligen Gestapo-Lagers Neue Bremm in Saarbrücken konnten bisher unberücksichtigte autobiographische Quellen ausgewertet werden. Im Vergleich der drei Länder ergaben sich neue Sichtweisen auf die jeweils nationalen Entwicklungen und neue Antworten auf die Frage nach der ‚Europäisierung‘ der Erinnerungsarbeit. [less ▲]

In European External Action Service, Mauro Gatti provides a legal analysis of the EU’s ‘foreign ministry’. The European External Action Service (EEAS) was created to coordinate the supranational and intergovernmental areas of EU external relations, but it is unclear whether and how it may attain this objective. Through an analysis of law and practice, Gatti demonstrates that the EEAS is capable of effectively promoting coherence in EU external relations. Although working independently from EU institutions and Member States, the EEAS can coordinate their activities at an administrative level. The EEAS is thus ideally placed to bring together EU external action instruments, including diplomatic efforts, development cooperation, and security policies. [less ▲]

Barriers to Inclusion provides a comparative and historical account of the rise of special and inclusive education over the twentieth century in the United States and Germany. This institutional analysis demonstrates how categorical boundaries, professional groups, social movements, and education and social policies shaped the schooling of children and youth with disabilities. It traces the evolution of special education classification and categories, explores growing special education organizations, and examines students' learning opportunities and educational attainments. Highlighting cross-national differences over time, the author also investigates demographic and geographic variability within the federal democracies, especially in segregation and inclusion rates of disabled and disadvantaged children. Germany's elaborate system of segregated special school types contrasts with diverse American special education classrooms mainly within regular schools. Joining historical case studies with empirical indicators, this book reveals persistent barriers to school integration as well as factors that facilitate inclusive education reform in both societies.

Ce volume s’inscrit à la suite de plusieurs publications récentes de réflexions collectives qui ont traité, en totalité ou en partie, des réfugiés palestiniens au Proche-Orient, en abordant également la question des camps. Nous proposons ainsi de poursuivre les débats, en réfléchissant explicitement à la question du temporaire qui se prolonge, et qui a tendance à se normaliser, et sur ses différents impacts politiques, socioéconomiques et urbains affectant les camps et les réfugiés palestiniens au cours de la période récente. Les articles de ce volume vont ainsi aborder plusieurs thèmes essentiels à cette compréhension : la cristallisation du provisoire dans les camps, et de ses effets, les questions de l’organisation politique et de la gouvernance dans les camps, du développement urbain, de l’habitat et des conditions de vie dans les camps et leurs alentours. Au final, les articles mettent en évidence que « le provisoire qui dure » ne fait pas des camps de réfugiés palestiniens au Proche-Orient des espaces d’exception figés, que ce soit au niveau de leur gouvernance ou organisation politique, de leurs caractéristiques urbaines, démographiques et socioéconomiques, ou encore au niveau de l’engagement politique de leurs habitants.
