Wie jede literarische "Schule" hat der russische Symbolismus bestimmte Grundsätze, die für seine Anhänger weitgehend verbindlich sind. Die Ausarbeitung dieser theoretischen Grundlagen liegt naturgemäß in den Händen der Anhänger des Symbolismus. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll sich ausschließlich mit der Tätigkeit Brjusovs befassen. Brjusov gelangt auf dem Weg über die Dichtung zur allgemeinen Literaturbetrachtung und zur Literaturwissenschaft.

Toussaint Louverture (c1743-1803) was the heroic leading figure in the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804, the only successful slave revolt in recorded history, and he remains an international inspiration, seen by many to be one of the greatest anti-imperialist fighters who ever lived. Toussaint was a military genius who led an army composed overwhelmingly of former enslaved Africans and people of African descent to victory after victory under the banner ‘Liberty or Death’ over the professional armies of France, Spain and Britain, before paying the ultimate price himself for refusing to compromise with imperial power at the expense of the maintenance of liberty for all. This new political biography of Toussaint aims to provide readers with an accessible yet scholarly introduction to his complex life while critically analysing Toussaint’s political thought, his contribution as a revolutionary leader, and his legacy for both Haiti and the wider world.

This novel, one of two collaborations between Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford, is one of the earliest to be concerned with modern, mechanical culture, and as such foreshadowed other writers such as George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. Symbolising the collapse of old treasured political values at the turn of the century and underlining the urgency of renovation, the novel involves the unrequited love for a young women of Arthur Granger, an aristocratic and unsuccessful novelist. Granger betrays the ideals on which he prides himself for this woman, a nameless, ethereal and goddess-like agent from a strange world. The collaboration between Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford influenced their own independent work and, in the words of Ezra Pound, What Flaubert had done to change French prose, Conrad and Ford did to transform English prose.'

Moderne Gesellschaften beruhen auf dem Selbstverständnis, Gewalt einzuhegen, zugleich sind das Recht und die Pflicht zur Gewaltanwendung Grundprinzipien moderner Staatlichkeit. Gewalt, Ordnung und Staatlichkeit sind demnach konstitutiv aufeinander bezogen, doch ihr prekäres Verhältnis erscheint zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts umstrittener denn je. Konzepte wie Rettungsfolter, gerechte Kriege, Ausnahme oder Sicherheit verweisen zugleich auf neue Rationalitäten staatlicher Gewalt. Der Band bietet interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf historische Kontinuitäten und Brüche staatlicher Neuordnungen von Gewalt in der Gegenwart. Mit Beiträgen von David Garland, Christian Geulen, Sven Kramer, Susanne Krasmann, Alf Lüdtke, Jürgen Martschukat, Andrew W. Neal, Günter Riederer, Ruth Stanley und Anja Feth, Frank Schumacher, Klaus Weinhauer sowie einen bisher im Deutschen unveröffentlichten Text von Judith Butler.

This book takes a new approach on understanding causes of extreme poverty and promising actions to address it. Its focus is on marginality being a root cause of poverty and deprivation. Marginality is the position of people on the edge, preventing their access to resources, freedom of choices, and the development of capabilities. The book is research based with original empirical analyses at local, national, and local scales; book contributors are leaders in their fields and have backgrounds in different disciplines. An important message of the book is that economic and ecological approaches and institutional innovations need to be integrated to overcome marginality. The book will be a valuable source for development scholars and students, actors that design public policies, and for social innovators in the private sector and non-governmental organizations.​

Muhtadi’s analysis of vote-buying in post-democratization Indonesia is original, profound, subtle, nuanced, and convincing as well as beautifully organized and well written. Equally important, its imaginative policy prescriptions will be widely read and cited as a significant contribution to the literature of comparative electoral politics. —William Liddle, Ohio State University, USAThis book presents a pathbreaking analysis of vote-buying in Indonesia. Drawing on a stunning array of evidence, Muhtadi reveals the mechanics, patterns and effects of vote-buying with unprecedented clarity. [Title] is a must read for anyone interested in Indonesian politics or in the comparative politics of clientelism.—Edward Aspinall, Australian National University, AustraliaThis book contains a trove of interesting research questions, a novel theoretical contribution, impressive empirical work, and a deep and nuanced understanding of the Indonesian case.—Allen Hicken, University of Michigan, USAThis book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book investigates the impact of vote buying on the accountability of democratic institutions and policy representation in newly democratic countries, with a focus on Indonesia. In doing so, the book presents a wide-ranging study of the dynamics of vote buying in Indonesia’s young democracy, exploring the nature, extent, determinants, targeting and effectiveness of this practice. It addresses these central issues in the context of comparative studies of vote buying, arguing that although party loyalists are disproportionately targeted in vote buying efforts, in total numbers—given the relatively small number of party loyalists in Indonesia—vote buying hits more uncommitted voters. It also demonstrates that the effectiveness of vote buying on vote choice is in the 10 percent range, which is sufficient for many candidates to secure a seat and thus explains why they still engage in vote buying despite high levels of leakage.Burhanuddin Muhtadi is a lecturer at State Islamic University, Jakarta. He is also an executive director of Indonesian Political Indicator and Director of Public Affairs at Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI). He has published his articles in numerous scholarly journals.

This book examines how Swiss leaders reached a deal with international pressures that appeared after the First World War, preventing the placement of foreign capital flight in Switzerland. A result of research on unpublished sources, from both Swiss and European archives, this book renews aware-ness of the history of the Swiss financial center and international economic relations during the first half of the 20th century.Il y a un siècle, le secret bancaire suisse était remis en cause pour la premi-ère fois sur la scène internationale.Ce livre étudie comment les dirigeants helvétiques sont parvenus à faire face aux pressions internationales, qui apparaissent après le premier conflit mondial, pour empêcher le placement en Suisse des capitaux étrangers en fuite. Fruit d’une recherche très vaste sur des sources inédites, issues de nombreux fonds d’archives suisses et européennes, l’ouvrage renouvelle les connaissances sur l’histoire de la place financière helvétique et des relations économiques internationales au cours de la première moitié du XXe siècle.L’analyse démontre que les autorités fédérales, de concert avec le patronat bancaire et industriel, ont élaboré un ensemble de stratégies visant non seulement à écarter les attaques à l’encontre du secret bancaire et des avantages fiscaux, mais encore à renforcer l’attractivité du centre offshore suisse, notamment par le biais de la signature des premières conventions de double imposition. Si cette politique ne trouve pas d’équivalent à l’étranger, elle a cependant constamment reçu d’importants appuis auprès des élites européennes. En se penchant sur les premiers épisodes de l’histoire de la protection du secret bancaire, La défense du paradis fiscal suisse avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale réintègre ainsi les événements actuels dans une perspective de plus longue durée.

" Le Victoria, vers huit heures du soir, s'était avancé de plus de deux cents milles à l'ouest, et les voyageurs furent alors témoins d'un magnifique spectacle. Quelques rayons de lune se frayèrent un chemin par une fissure des nuages et, glissant entre les raies de pluie, tombèrent sur la chaîne des monts Hombori. Rien de plus étrange que ces crêtes d'apparence basaltique ; elles se profilaient en silhouettes fantastiques sur le ciel assombri ; on eût dit les ruines légendaires d'une immense ville du Moyen Age telles que, par les nuits sombres, les banquises des mers glaciales en présentent au regard étonné ...

This magical and poignant evocation of coming of age in the countryside describes lovers in secluded lanes, cricket and church bells, cherry trees hung with snow and woods full of bluebells. Yet in A Shropshire Lad the fields and hills are also places of loss and sorrow, where men die young or are sent far away to fight in foreign wars. Aching with longing for a vanished world, these exquisite verses are a meditation on the fleeting nature of love, youth and happiness. Generations of inhabitants have helped shape the English countryside but it has profoundly shaped us too.It has provoked a huge variety of responses from artists, writers, musicians and people who live and work on the land as well as those who are travelling through it.English Journeys celebrates this long tradition with a series of twenty books on all aspects of the countryside, from stargazey pie and country churches, to mans relationship with nature and songs celebrating the patterns of the countryside (as well as ghosts and love-struck soldiers).
