German-American Relations in the 21st Century

German-American Relations in the 21st Century
Larres Klaus, "German-American Relations in the 21st Century"
English | ISBN: 0367584522 | 2020 | 142 pages | EPUB | 846 KB
German-American relations have become interesting again. U.S. President Donald Trump's lukewarm policy toward Europe has ensured that the relationship between Berlin and Washington is once again regarded as an important field of scholarship within global politics. And yet it was only a few years ago that German-American relations seemed to take second place to transatlantic relations in general, and the European Union (EU)-USA relationship in particular. The advent of Donald Trump as US President in January 2017 has made all the difference. Trump's difficult personal relationship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and his denigration of everything the Western world - including the USA itself - has stood for since 1949, have given a new significance to German-American relations in practice and theory.

German Idealism as Constructivism

German Idealism as Constructivism
German Idealism as Constructivism by Tom Rockmore
English | May 3, 2016 | ISBN: 022634990X | True EPUB | 224 pages | 0.3 MB
German Idealism as Constructivism is the culmination of many years of research by distinguished philosopher Tom Rockmore-it is his definitive statement on the debate about German idealism between proponents of representationalism and those of constructivism that still plagues our grasp of the history of German idealism and the whole epistemological project today. Rockmore argues that German idealism-which includes iconic thinkers such as Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel-can best be understood as a constructivist project, one that asserts that we cannot know the mind-independent world as it is but only our own mental construction of it.

Geopolitics in the Era of Globalisation

Geopolitics in the Era of Globalisation
Yogendra Kumar, "Geopolitics in the Era of Globalisation"
English | ISBN: 0367547694 | 2020 | 194 pages | EPUB | 502 KB
This book presents an alternative roadmap for a world characterised by geopolitical uncertainty. The surging expectations about a future world of democratic values and high economic growth, born out of superpower bonhomie at the end of the Cold War, did not lead to the promised outcomes. Instead we are faced with deeply destabilising challenges, like climate change, widespread state fragility, terrorism, arms race, disruptive newer technologies, global economic volatility, and ineffectiveness of multilateral institutions, old and new.

Geometric Challenges in Isogeometric Analysis 49 (Springer INdAM Series)

Geometric Challenges in Isogeometric Analysis 49 (Springer INdAM Series)
Geometric Challenges in Isogeometric Analysis: 49 (Springer INdAM Series)
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9783030923136 | 386 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 84.24 MB
This book collects selected contributions presented at the INdAM Workshop "Geometric Challenges in Isogeometric Analysis", held in Rome, Italy on January 27-31, 2020. It gives an overview of the forefront research on splines and their efficient use in isogeometric methods for the discretization of differential problems over complex and trimmed geometries. A variety of research topics in this context are covered, including (i) high-quality spline surfaces on complex and trimmed geometries, (ii) construction and analysis of smooth spline spaces on unstructured meshes, (iii) numerical aspects and benchmarking of isogeometric discretizations on unstructured meshes, meshing strategies and software. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to both researchers and graduate students working in the areas of approximation theory, geometric design and numerical simulation.

Gendering Security and Insecurity PostNeocolonial Security Logics and Feminist Interventions

Gendering Security and Insecurity PostNeocolonial Security Logics and Feminist Interventions
Navtej K. Purewal, "Gendering Security and Insecurity: Post/Neocolonial Security Logics and Feminist Interventions "
English | ISBN: 0367196638 | 2019 | 164 pages | EPUB | 583 KB
Security studies and international relations have conventionally relegated gendered analysis to the margins of academic concern, most commonly through the 'women in' or 'women and' politics and IR discourse. This comprehensive volume contributes to debates which seek to move feminist scholarship away from the reification of the war/peace and security/economy divides. By foregrounding the empirical reality of the breakdown of these traditional divisions, the authors pay particular attention to frameworks which query their very existence. In doing so, the collection as a whole troubles the ubiquitous concept and practices of '(in)security' and their effects on differentially positioned subjects. By gendering (in)securities in 'states of exception' and other paradigms of government related to it, especially in postcolonial and neocolonial contexts, the book provides an approach that allows us to study the complex and interrelated security logics, which constitute the messy realities of different - and particularly vulnerable - subjects' lives. In other words, it suggests that these frameworks are ripe for feminist interventions and analysis of the logics and production of (in)securities as well as of resistance and hybridisation.

Gender Politics and the Pursuit of Competitiveness in Malaysia Women on Board

Gender Politics and the Pursuit of Competitiveness in Malaysia Women on Board
Juanita Elias, "Gender Politics and the Pursuit of Competitiveness in Malaysia: Women on Board "
English | ISBN: 0367179652 | 2020 | 162 pages | EPUB | 758 KB
This book is concerned with how the pursuit of national economic competitiveness by states has come to be intertwined with a globalised gender agenda―one in which women and the household economy are seen as 'untapped' resources.
