        Weltstaat oder Staatenwelt?

        Für und wider die Idee einer Weltrepublik

        by James Bohman, Matthias Lutz-Bachmann, James Bohman, Matthias Lutz-Bachmann

        Die weltweite Verbreitung der liberalen Marktwirtschaft hat in Verbindung mit einer Globalisierung von Technik, Kommunikationsmitteln und Verkehr den Handlungsraum für einzelstaatliche Politik dramatisch verändert - sowohl im Inneren der Staaten als auch in ihrer Außenpolitik. Diese Entwicklungen, aber auch die zunehmenden Proteste gegen die Folgen der Globalisierung und die sich abzeichnenden weltweiten Konflikte haben die Diskussion über neue Strukturen der internationalen Politik belebt. Der Streit wird über die Frage geführt, ob die Struktur der überlieferten Staatenwelt geeignet ist, die Herausforderungen politisch und friedlich zu bewältigen, die sich aus der Globalisierung von ökonomie und Technik ergeben. Oder sollen neue, demokratische Strukturen für die internationale Politik geschaffen werden, die die Mechanismen der bisherigen Außenpolitik ersetzen? Der von den politischen Philosophen Matthias Lutz-Bachmann (Frankfurt am Main) und James Bohman (St. Louis, USA) vorgelegte Band versammelt Beiträge von Philosophen, Juristen, Politikwissenschaftlern und ökonomen zur Diskussion der aktuellen politischen Streitfrage: »Weltstaat oder Staatenwelt? Für und wider die Idee einer Weltrepublik«. Im Suhrkamp Verlag ist außerdem erschienen: Matthias Lutz-Bachmann/ James Bohman (Hg.): Frieden durch Recht. Kants Friedensidee und das Problem einer neuen Weltordnung (stw 1269).

        Invertebrates as Webmasters in Ecosystems

        by Edited by David C Coleman, Paul F Hendrix

        The purpose of this book is to review and assess our current understanding of invertebrates in terrestrial and terrestrially-dominated (i.e. lower-order stream) ecosystems. It emphasises the centrality of the activity of invertebrates, which influence ecosystem function far out of proportion to their physical mass in a wide range of situations, particularly at the interface between land and air (litter/soil), water and land (sediments) and in tree canopies and root/soil systems. Consisting of 16 chapters by authors from the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia, the book is essential reading for ecologists and invertebrate biologists.

        Spices, Scents and Silk

        Catalysts of World Trade

        by James F Hancock

        Spices, scents and silks were at the center of world trade for millennia. Through their international trade, humans were pushed to explore and then travel to the far corners of the earth. Almost from their inception, the earliest great civilizations - Egypt, Sumer and Harappa - became addicted to the luxury products of far off lands and established long-reaching trade networks. Over time, great powers fought mightily for the kingdoms where silk, spices and scents were produced. The New World was accidentally discovered by Columbus in his quest for spices. What made trade in these products so remarkable was that the plants producing them grew in very restricted areas of the world, distant from the wealthy civilizations of northern Africa, Greece and Europe. These luxuries could be carried from mysterious locations on the backs of camels or in the holds of ships for months on end, and arrived at their final destination in nearly perfect condition. Once the western world discovered the intoxicating properties of these products, their procurement became a dominant force in the world economy. Nothing else compared with their possible profit returns. In this book, eminent horticulturist and author James Hancock examines the origins and early domestication and culture of spices, scents and silks and the central role these exotic luxuries played in the lives of the ancients. The book traces the development of the great international trade networks and explores how struggles for trade dominance and demand for such luxuries shaped the world.

        Digging up stories

        Applied theatre, performance and war

        by James Thompson, Martin Hargreaves

        In 'Digging up stories', James Thompson explores the problems of theatre practice in communities affected by war and exclusion. Each chapter or 'story' is written in a lively and accessible style and draws on a range of contemporary performance theories. The chapters discuss: - participatory theatre in refugee camps - theatre workshop and stories of a massacre - traditional dance-dramas in an insurgent controlled village - 'Forum' theatre with the Mahabharata - ethical issues - the struggle to teach the author to dance 'Digging up stories' documents a range of theatre practice and includes project reports, ethnographic accounts, performance analysis and diary-style reflection. Taken from Thompson's research and practice in Sri Lanka, these diverse examples question the link between applied theatre, traditional performance and performances in everyday life. The book blurs lines between research and travel writing to create rich and provocative accounts of applying theatre in a troubled setting. ;
