Download or read book After Integration written by Marian Burchardt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of Muslims into European societies is often seen as a major challenge that is yet to be confronted. This book, by contrast, starts from the observation that on legal, political and organizational levels integration has already taken place. It showcases the variety of theoretical approaches that scholars have developed to conceptualize Muslim life in Europe, and provides detailed empirical analysis of ten European countries. Demonstrating how Muslim life unfolds between conviviality and contentious politics, the contributors describe demographic developments, analyze legal controversies, and explore the action of government and state, Muslim communities and other civil society actors. Driving forces behind the integration of Islam are discussed in detail and compared across countries.

Download or read book New Financial Ethics written by Aloy Soppe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the internationalisation, globalisation and deregulation of the financial market over the last few decades, the financial sector has evolved from a servicing industry into an initiating and leading sector in the international industrialised economy. The power of the financial sector, including Credit Rating Agencies, determines the creditworthiness of companies and countries. Today’s financial sector dominates instead of serving the real economy, which puts substantial pres - sure on all the agencies involved, not least the banks, to make the profits that will drive economic growth. As a result of this pressure, moral conduct in the financial sector has been put under severe strain. This book examines the experience of the recent financial crisis and argues that a firmer ethical grounding for the financial sector is required to prevent the crisis being repeated. The book offers a model for making judgements on financial markets, institutions and products. The model is built on seven major criteria which are examined in depth: Justice, Nature, Sustainability, Legality, Risk and Return, the Stakeholder model and Monism. This multidisciplinary approach integrates philosophy, economics and law to arrive at a new normative approach to financial ethics. This book is a must-read for finance students at academic levels but also for professionals in the financial sector, who can be helped by implementing the model of NFE in solving financial dilemmas.
Download or read book Overcoming Fragmentation in Southeast Europe written by Panayiotis Getimis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the expansion of the European Union, the countries of Southeast Europe have finally been brought together within one socio-political entity. The restructuring of these economies following globalization and neoliberalization has meant that this region has become much more open to geopolitical shifts and trends. While the various countries have all entered into the slow process of European integration, the historic fragmentation of this region has led to various conflicts and contradictions in the restructuring and transition of national economies. This volume provides a theoretical and comparative overview which examines the prospects for spatial cohesion in this region. With the need to handle persisting problems and conflicts from the past while coping with new economic and political structures, Southeast Europe proves to be a challenging yet fruitful testing ground for how best to overcome fragmentation and establish a long-term process of social and economic integration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metaphors in the History of Economic Thought: Crises, Business Cycles and Equilibrium explores the evolution of economic theorizing through the lens of metaphors. The edited volume sheds light on metaphors which have been used by a range of key thinkers and schools of thought to describe economic crises, business cycles and economic equilibrium. Structured in three parts, the book examines an array of metaphors ranging from mechanics, waves, storms, medicine and beyond. The international panel of contributors focuses primarily on economic literature up to the Second World War, knowing again that the use of metaphors in economic work has seen a resurgence since the 1980s. This work will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in the history of economic thought, and economics and language.
Download or read book Cooperative Design of Manufacturing Systems in SMEs written by Dörte Bastian-Köpp and published by GITO mbH Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning and improving of production systems and manufacturing processes is a most complex task in engineering. In small and medium sized enterprises (SME's) it is usually carried out by a group of enterprise planners from different departments within a planning project. The main issue of this research is to overcome the logical and technical boundaries between the highly-interrelated modelling experts and their specific modelling tools and partial planning models as well as to efficiently coordinate their distributed, cooperative planning tasks. Therefore, a methodical integration concept as well as a groupware-based cooperation concept was developed. Now it is possible to combine the large number of sophisticated modelling tools, factory simulators as well as GPM tools, and to guarantee a seamless planning process. The conceptual ideas were implemented in a prototypical toolbox to show the technical realization of the flexible concepts for integration and cooperation support. (Back cover).

Book excerpt: The answers to these questions - and much, much more - are to be found in The Changing Room , which traces the origins and variations of theatrical cross-dressing through the ages and across cultures. It examines: * tribal rituals and shamanic practices in the Balkans and Chinese-Tibet * the gender-bending elements of Greek and early Christian religion * the homosexual appeal of the boy actor on the traditional stage of China, Japan and England * the origins of the dame comedian, the principal boy, the glamour drag artiste and the male impersonator * artists such as David Bowie, Boy George, Charles Ludlam, Dame Edna Everage, Lily Savage, Candy Darling, Julian Clary and the New York Dolls. Lavishly illustrated with unusual and rare pictures, this is the first ever cross-cultural study of theatrical transvestism. It is a must for anyone interested in cross-dressing, theatre, and gender.
