        Die neuen Frauen

        Revolution im Kaiserreich: 1900–1914

        by Barbara Beuys

        Eine Geschichte der emanzipation, die so noch nie erzählt wurde Sexismus und Emanzipation, Frauenquote und Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf – die Wurzeln der heutigen Diskussion liegen in der Zeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Im deutschen Kaiserreich gewinnen die Frauen an Einfluss und werden allmählich zu einem wichtigen Teil des öffentlichen Lebens. Sie sind erstmals berufstätig, sind Ärztinnen und Künstlerinnen, arbeiten in Büros und Postämtern und setzen sich für das Wahlrecht ein. Frauenvereine bringen selbstbewusst Themen wie Sexualität und Scheidung an die Öffentlichkeit. Barbara Beuys schildert eine Geschichte der Emanzipation, die so noch nie erzählt wurde. In einem breiten Panorama aus Lebensbildern – von Clara Zetkin bis Else Lasker-Schüler, von Helene Lange bis Karen Horney und Asta Nielsen – zeigt Barbara Beuys, wie eng der Kampf um Emanzipation und die Politik im Kaiserreich miteinander verwoben sind.

        Bounded rationality in decision-making

        How cognitive shortcuts and professional values may interfere with market-based regulation

        by Helle Nielsen, Mikael Anderssen, Duncan Liefferink

        Challenging standard economic models, this book shows how farmers tend to use cognitive shortcuts in their decision-making and how their professional pride frequently outweighs profit considerations. This indicates that environmental regulation based on economic incentives may not be as effective as economic theorists and ex ante policy analysts maintain. Rather than assuming that regulations respond to incentive-based policies, this book examines the ways in which they do. Bounded rationality in decision-making has typically been studied in a laboratory setting, but this book uses original empirical research to demonstrate how bounded rationality plays out in the real world, examining the responses of Danish farmers to fertiliser regulation and their decision-making processes. The book will be of interest to a broad range of scholars within the fields of public policy, public administration, political science, behavioural economics and sociology. ;

        Anne Clifford's Great Books of Record

        by Jessica L. Malay

        In her Great Books of Record Anne Clifford places herself within the dynamic history of the ancient Clifford family, providing an unbroken view into medieval and early modern life for nearly six centuries. In this annotated edition, we glimpse the lives of simple widows, traders, farmers, and labourers juxtaposed with the adventures of soldiers, lords and ladies, princes and princesses. Throughout, Anne Clifford asserts the centrality of women to the success of noble families, including the monarchy. Her Great Books draws upon medieval traditions and early modern scholarship and builds upon these through biographies of the Clifford lords and ladies, along with an extended biography of her mother Margaret Russell and her own autobiographical 'Life of Mee'. Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political upon individuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.

        Germany, pacifism and peace enforcement

        by Anja Dalgaard-Nielsen, Emil Kirchner, Thomas Christiansen

        Germany, pacifism and peace enforcement is about the transformation of Germany's security and defence policy in the time between the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 war against Iraq. The book traces and explains the reaction of Europe's biggest and potentially most powerful country to the ethnic wars of the 1990s, the emergence of large-scale terrorism, and the new US emphasis on pre-emptive strikes. Based on an analysis of Germany's strategic culture it portrays Germany as a security actor and indicates the conditions and limits of the new German willingness to participate in international military crisis management that developed over the 1990s. It debates the implications of Germany's transformation for Germany's partners and neighbours and explains why Germany said 'yes' to the war in Afghanistan, but 'no' to the Iraq War. ;
