June 2010Muhammad Ali
by Peter Kemper
»Ich werde das Boxen nicht vermissen, aber das Boxen wird mich vermissen.« Nicht zufällig hat man Cassius Clay alias Muhammand Ali als »fünften Beatle« bezeichnet. Zusammen mit den Liverpooler Musikern stellte er sich an die Spitze jener sozialen und kulturellen Umbruchbewegung, die alle westlichen Länder in den Sechzigern erschüttern sollte. Seine Kombination aus Trotz und Witz veränderte den Sound der Zeit. Gleichermaßen eloquent und unverfroren, immer angriffslustig und mit einem schier unerschöpflichen Repertoire an Ausdrucksformen, brachte sich Ali als erster Popstar des Sports auf die internationale Bühne, um dort ethnische, religiöse und politische Tabus leichthändig zu verhandeln. Sein beinahe schwereloser Stil veränderte den Boxsport, seine kompromisslose Haltung schockierte die Welt.

Political structure & processesMay 2007Devolution and constitutional change in Northern Ireland
by Edited by Paul Carmichael, Colin Knox and Robert Osborne
This edited book, written by a collection of scholars with an interest in Northern Ireland, tracks its uneasy experience with devolution following the optimistic political period associated with the 1998 Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. The volume brings together researchers from the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) 'Devolution and Constitutional Change' Programme and other experts to record four key perspectives on Northern Ireland. First, it considers the inextricable link between devolution and constitutional developments. Second, it examines how the main political parties responded to devolution and the major challenges faced by society in moving beyond conflict (such as political symbolism, the role of women, equality and human rights issues). Third, it attempts to assess some of the workings of devolved government in its short-lived form or those seeded in devolution and carried on by direct rule ministers. Finally, Northern Irelands devolved government and associated institutions are located within the wider relationships with Westminster, the Republic of Ireland and Europe. This edited volume will be of interest to students of Irish politics and public policy, but more generally, from a comparative perspective, those with an interest in devolution and constitutional change. It may even assist politicians in Northern Ireland to reflect on the real potential to restore its devolved institutions and draw back from the brink of permanently copper-fastening 'direct rule' from Westminster.
