        Public Private Partnerships in Ireland

        Failed experiment or the way forward?

        by Rory Hearne, Rob Kitchin

        Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have come to public attention in recent years in Ireland with the impact of toll roads, the collapse of social-housing projects and their use in the provision of courts buildings, schools, water/waste water treatment plants, hospitals, light rail and other public infrastructure and services. This book provides a ground breaking and unique analysis of the development of such PPPs internationally, with a detailed focus on the rationale behind their introduction and outcomes in Ireland. The detailed evidence outlined from the author's extensive research (including interviews with senior central and government officials, private sector, community and trade union representatives and the Irish Minister for Environment) highlights the important role PPPs are playing in the implementation of privatisation and neoliberalism. The book also provides considerable practical lessons from individual PPP projects. It is therefore an essential read for students, academics of politics, economics, sociology, geography and policy practitioners in Ireland, and further afield. It is of considerable interest to anyone concerned with the progress of Irish society, its economy and, indeed public services and governance internationally. ;

        The search for democratic renewal

        The politics of consultation in Britain and Australia

        by Rob Manwaring

        Why is the search for democratic renewal so elusive? This book examines both the political and policy implications of efforts by the centre-left to transform democracy. This is a story not only about democratic change, but also the identity crisis of centre-left political parties. The book offers a fresh critique of the Big Society agenda, and analyses why both left and right are searching for democratic renewal. Drawing on high-profile interviews and examining an in-depth series of comparative cases, the book argues that the centre-left's search for democratic renewal contains a range of policy and political aims, contradictions and tensions. It will be of interest to students, academics, researchers, interest groups and policy analysts interested in consultation, democratic renewal, labour politics, and Australian and British politics. ;

        The penny politics of Victorian popular fiction

        by Rob Breton

        Penny politics offers a new way to read early Victorian popular fiction such as Jack Sheppard, Sweeney Todd, and The Mysteries of London. It locates forms of radical discourse in the popular literature that emerged simultaneously with Brittan's longest and most significant people's movement. It listens for echoes of Chartist fiction in popular fiction. The book rethinks the relationship between the popular and political, understanding that radical politics had popular appeal and that the lines separating a genuine radicalism from commercial success are complicated and never absolute. With archival work into Newgate calendars and Chartist periodicals, as well as media history and culture, it brings together histories of the popular and political so as to rewrite the radical canon.

        Innovation and tradition in English folk-rock music

        by Rob Burns

        English folk-rock, a former progressive rock music style, remains a stimulus for further change in folk music and has enabled English folk-rock to become regarded as popular music by a new audience with diverse musical tastes. From musicological and historical perspectives, this book maintains that folk music performance continues to be influenced by rock and other popular music styles. From a cultural studies perspective, this book also demonstrates how the popularity of folk music presented at world music festivals has stimulated significant growth in folk music audiences since the mid-1990s and consequently the UK is experiencing a new phase of revivalism - the third folk revival. The book contains contributions from Martin Carthy (The Imagined Village), Simon Nicol (Fairport Convention), Ashley Hutchings (The Albion Band), Gerry Conway (Fairport Convention) and Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span). ;

        What rough beast?

        by Kieran Keohane, Rob Kitchin, Carmen Kuhling

        This book provides an analysis of neo-liberal political economics implemented in Ireland and the deleterious consequences of that model in terms of polarised social inequalities, impoverished public services and fiscal vulnerability as they appear in central social policy domains - health, housing and education in particular. Tracing the argument into the domains where the institutions are sustained and reproduced, this book examines the movement of modern economics away from its original concern with the household and anthropologically universal deep human needs to care for the vulnerable - the sick, children and the elderly - and to maintain inter-generational solidarity. The authors argue that the financialisation of social relations undermines the foundations of civilisation and opens up a marketised barbarism. Civic catastrophes of violent conflict and authoritarian liberalism are here illustrated as aspects of the 'rough beast' that slouches in when things are falling apart and people become prey to new forms of domination. ;

        Proust für Gestreßte

        by Marcel Proust, Reiner Speck

        Spätestens seit Marcel Prousts Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit wissen wir, daß die wahren Paradise die verlorenen sind. In Prousts siebenbändigem Roman finden sich ebenso treffende wie einfühlsame Bemerkungen über das Vergehen der Zeit, die Würde der Krankheit oder das Glück des Lesens. Die Beschäftigung mit Prousts Werk kann sich als ein wahrer Segen für gestreßte Leser erweisen: Dem Zivilisationsmüden spendet sie Ruhe und Weisheit, dem Leidenden Trost und Ermutigung, und allen Lesern gewährt sie tiefe Einblicke in die verborgenen Motive menschlichen Handelns. Reiner Speck hat aus der Frankfurter Ausgabe von Prousts Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit die schönsten Passagen zusammengestellt und mit einem Nachwort versehen. Diese Sammlung von Miniaturen voller Melancholie und Esprit zeigt einmal mehr, daß der wohl bedeutendste französische Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts auch ein großer Psychologe war.

        Sweet knowledge for practice

        by Reinhild Berger

        A sweet treat is tempting, but the lurking dangers should not be underestimated. However, it is just as wrong to demonise all types of sugar in general as to avoid it altogether. In this entertaining mini reference book, Reinhild Berger takes the reader on an interesting journey through the labyrinth of sugar, sugar substitutes and sweeteners and gets to the bottom of many questions in the process: How much is too much? What alternatives are there, and which are advisable? How can one select the right one from the deceptive variety in the supermarket? What is the right way to read the food labels on the packaging? What knowledge does one need to be protected against misleading advertisements? - Learn how to recognise differences between the many types of sugar - Read where dangers lie, and which sugar does us good – and in what quantity - Understand how to interpret nutritional values – and that “no artificial sweetener ” does not mean “sugar-free” Welcome to the promising world of the sweet taste!

        Rede zur Verleihung des Heinrich-Heine-Preises 2020

        by Rachel Salamander, Frank-Walter Steinmeier

        Seit 1972 gehört der Heinrich-Heine-Preis der Stadt Düsseldorf zu den bedeutendsten Literatur- und Persönlichkeitspreisen der Bundesrepublik. Ausgezeichnet wurden bisher u. a. Amos Oz und Jürgen Habermas. Im Jahr 2020 erhielt die Literaturwissenschaftlerin und Publizistin Rachel Salamander den Preis. Die Jury würdigte damit ihren Beitrag zum »Wiederaufbau des jüdischen intellektuellen Lebens nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg«.Der Band dokumentiert die Rede der Preisträgerin sowie die Laudatio von Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Salamander stellt Heinrich Heine an den Anfang der deutsch-jüdischen Literatur. Seine klarsichtige, im Jahr 1834 formulierte Warnung vor dem »deutschen Donner« ist in einer Zeit kontroverser Debatten über den Antisemitismus von beunruhigender Aktualität.
