Описание: With forty-two extensively annotated maps, this atlas offers novel insights into the history and mechanics of how Central Europe's languages have been made, unmade, and deployed for political action. The innovative combination of linguistics, history, and cartography makes a wealth of hard-to-reach knowledge readily available to both specialist and general readers. It combines information on languages, dialects, alphabets, religions, mass violence, or migrations over an extended period of time.
The story first focuses on Central Europe's dialect continua, the emergence of states, and the spread of writing technology from the tenth century onward. Most maps concentrate on the last two centuries. The main storyline opens with the emergence of the Western European concept of the nation, in accord with which the ethnolinguistic nation-states of Italy and Germany were founded.
In the Central European view, a "proper" nation is none other than the speech community of a single language. The Atlas aspires to help users make the intellectual leap of perceiving languages as products of human history and part of culture. Like states, nations, universities, towns, associations, art, beauty, religions, injustice, or atheism-languages are artefacts invented and shaped by individuals and their groups.

Описание: Central Europe is one of the key notions of classical geopolitics yet it has always been a somewhat elusive concept. Originally perceived as a plan for a German dominated political and economic union, it subsequently emerged to threaten leaders in the East and West in a variety of forms. Otilia Dhand provides a critical examination of the concept of Central Europe, from its early inception to the present day. Making extensive use of archival material, she shows how successive manifestations of Central Europe - of whatever vintage - have failed to bring about their intended changes on the international structure, and how customary claims about Central Europe are not supported by the original source material. The result is a work of outstanding scholarship that advances our understanding of regionalism and geopolitics in Europe.

Policy Making and Southern Distinctiveness examines the uniqueness of southern politics and their policy choices.
While decades of scholarship on the politics of the American South have focused on partisanship and electoral outcomes as the primary elements of interest in southern politics, few works have focused on the more practical outcomes of these political processes, specifically, comparing state policy choices of southern states to non-southern states. This book examines six different policy arenas: voting access, gun control, health care, reproductive rights, water, and COVID-19 pandemic response, comparing policy choices in states in the South with states in the non-South. The authors find that the South is distinct in several, but not all, of the policy arenas examined. They conclude that the South as a region is unique because of the exceptional degree of one-party control evident in the South, coupled with a long-standing preoccupation with partisanship and race-based politics.
Policy Making and Southern Distinctiveness provides valuable insights into how and why states behave in the manner they do and where southern states may diverge from the rest of the country. It will be of interest to scholars of southern politics, state comparative policy, public policy, American politics, and federalism/intergovernmental relations.

Автор: Clement Yung Wen Название: An Open-Ended Distinctiveness: The Contemporary Relevance of Wolfhart Pannenbergs Participatory Ecclesiology and Ecumenism for World Christianity ISBN: 3525522126 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783525522127 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 204470.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Insofar as the twentieth century has often been referred to as the ecumenical century, the twenty-first seems poised to become known as the century of World Christianity. Into this situation, the present study seeks to show the ongoing relevance of Wolfhart Pannenbergs ecclesiological and ecumenical proposals and, in doing so, finds that his eschatologically-oriented and historically-rooted emphasis upon an open-ended distinctiveness is exactly the kind of corrective that the emerging theological paradigm of World Christianity needs if it wants not only to stay contextually open-ended, but remain distinctively Christian in outlook and character as well. Towards that end, the book begins with the story of ecclesiologys definitional expansion (from the time of the Reformation to now) before tracing the biographical and ideational roots of Pannenbergs overall programme. The study then proceeds by outlining the main contours of Pannenbergs ecclesiology and ecumenism, especially as such pertain to World Christianity. In this regard, several facets of Pannenbergs thought are highlighted for consideration, including his understanding of the church as sign of the kingdom, his doctrine of participation in Christ, his reassertion of the churchs missionary task, his (underdeveloped) personalist and social thought-structures, his (ironically relevant) Constantinianism, his (directly relevant yet abstract) notion of creative love, and his views concerning contextualization and the ecumenical potential of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of 381. While much that is here developed serves as a healthy corrective for an emerging theological paradigm that is still maturing, some surprising critical insights arise that also flow the other way.
