Gestrandet: Warum unsere Fluechtlingspolitik allen schadet: und was jetzt zu tun ist book pdf download By Paul M. Collier

Mehr als 65 Millionen Menschen sind weltweit auf der Flucht. Doch die Instrumente und Institutionen, mit denen wir auf diese humanitäre Herausforderung reagieren, sind hoffnungslos veraltet und haben für Millionen Flüchtlinge fatale Folgen. Die beiden Experten für Flüchtlingsfragen Paul Collier und Alexander Betts zeigen, warum eine Politik der offenen Tür ebenso gefährlich ist wie Abschottung. Anhand konkreter Beispiele machen sie deutlich, wie wir den Menschen auf der Flucht wirklich helfen können. Seit Jahren wird die Flüchtlingspolitik weltweit von einer »Politik des herzlosen Kopfes« bestimmt – bevor sie sich im Sommer 2015, vor allem in Deutschland, dann plötzlich in eine »Politik des kopflosen Herzens« verwandelte. Beides ist gefährlich, für die Flüchtlinge, die aufnehmenden Länder und die Heimatländer der Fliehenden. Statt wahllos Menschen ins Land zu lassen oder sie jahrzehntelang in Lagern oder Unterkünften zu verwahren, brauchen wir einen anderen Umgang mit Flüchtlingen. Wir müssen sie in die Lage versetzen, rasch wieder für sich selbst zu sorgen – und möglichst schnell in ihre Heimat zurückzukehren. Paul Collier und Alexander Betts ziehen in ihrem Buch eine schonungslose Bilanz der aktuellen Flüchtlingspolitik und zeigen, wie neue Regeln und Institutionen aussehen können, die ethische, humanitäre und ökonomische Überlegungen vereinen.

The Global Diffusion of Markets and Democracy book pdf download By Beth A. Simmons

The diffusion of markets and democracy around the world was a defining feature of the late twentieth century. Many social scientists view this economic and political liberalization as the product of independent choices by national governments. This book argues that policy and political changes were influenced heavily by prior actions of external actors: not just other governments, but international organizations and communities of experts. Drawing together insights from economics, sociology, political science and international relations, the contributors focus on four mechanisms by which markets and democracy have diffused through interdependent decision-making: coercion and the impact of powerful countries and international actors; economic competition for markets and investment; learning from experiences of other countries; and emulation among countries. These mechanisms are tested empirically using sophisticated quantitative techniques in areas as diverse as capital account and investment policy, human rights and democratization, and government downsizing, privatization and taxation.

Author: Ronald Dworkin

About the Author: Ronald Dworkin, who has died aged 81, was widely respected as the most original and powerful philosopher of law in the English-speaking world. In his books, his articles and his teaching, in London and New York, he developed a powerful, scholarly exegesis of the law, and expounded issues of burning topicality and public concern – including how the law should deal with race, abortion, euthanasia and equality – in ways that were accessible to lay readers. His legal arguments were subtly presented applications to specific problems of a classic liberal philosophy which, in turn, was grounded in his belief that law must take its authority from what ordinary people would recognise as moral virtue. Dworkin studied philosophy (under Willard Van Orman Quine at Harvard University and, informally, with JL Austin at Oxford University) and law at both Oxford and the Harvard Law School. He worked as clerk to the great US judge and legal scholar Billings Learned Hand and as a practising associate in the Wall Street law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, before teaching law at the Yale and later the New York University law schools, as well as at Oxford and later University College London. This broad education and training, sharpening the analytical skills of a quite exceptionally powerful intellect, enabled him, even as a precocious young man, to challenge the most eminent figures in the world of law and jurisprudence, including Hand and HLA Hart, the renowned exponent of legal positivism – considering the social basis of a law separately from its merits – at Oxford. Perhaps Dworkin’s greatest achievement was his insistence on a rights-based theory of law, expounded in his first and most influential book, Taking Rights Seriously (1977), in which he proposed an alternative both to Hart’s outlook and to the newly minted theories of the Harvard philosopher of law John Rawls.

Etica privada e igualitarismo politico book pdf download By Ronald Dworkin

En el presente libro, Dworkin se separa de su ya tradicional ocupacion con la filosofia del derecho para abordar especificamente una propuesta de moralidad politica: la defensa de lo que el autor califica como liberalismo igualitario, que nos presenta como alternativa al liberalismo politico de John Rawls. Para ello construye una compleja teoria etico filosofica, que tendria la virtud de unir los valores de la libertad, la igualdad y comunidad dentro de una vision humanitaria. La introduccion a este libro corre a cargo de Fernando Vallespin, catedratico de Ciencia Politica en la Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, autor de Nuevas teorias del contrato social y editor de Historia de la nueva politica, en 6 volumenes, asi como de nuemrosos trabajos de ciencia y teoria politica.

Is Democracy Possible Here : Principles for a New Political Debate book pdf download By Ronald Dworkin

Politics in America are polarized and trivialized, perhaps as never before. In Congress, the media, and academic debate, opponents from right and left, the Red and the Blue, struggle against one another as if politics were contact sports played to the shouts of cheerleaders. The result, Ronald Dworkin writes, is a deeply depressing political culture, as ill equipped for the perennial challenge of achieving social justice as for the emerging threats of terrorism. Can the hope for change be realized? Dworkin, one the world’s leading legal and political philosophers, identifies and defends core principles of personal and political morality that all citizens can share. He shows that recognizing such shared principles can make substantial political argument possible and help replace contempt with mutual respect. Only then can the full promise of democracy be realized in America and elsewhere. Dworkin lays out two core principles that citizens should share: first, that each human life is intrinsically and equally valuable and, second, that each person has an inalienable personal responsibility for identifying and realizing value in his or her own life. He then shows what fidelity to these principles would mean for human rights, the place of religion in public life, economic justice, and the character and value of democracy. Dworkin argues that liberal conclusions flow most naturally from these principles. Properly understood, they collide with the ambitions of religious conservatives, contemporary American tax and social policy, and much of the War on Terror. But his more basic aim is to convince Americans of all political stripes–as well as citizens of other nations with similar cultures–that they can and must defend their own convictions through their own interpretations of these shared values.

Divided: Why We’re Living in an Age of Walls book pdf download By Tim Marshall

New from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography We feel more divided than ever. This riveting analysis tells you why. Walls are going up. Nationalism and identity politics are on the rise once more. Thousands of miles of fences and barriers have been erected in the past ten years, and they are redefining our political landscape. There are many reasons why we erect walls, because we are divided in many ways: wealth, race, religion, politics. In Europe the ruptures of the past decade threaten not only European unity, but in some countries liberal democracy itself. In China, the Party’s need to contain the divisions wrought by capitalism will define the nation’s future. In the USA the rationale for the Mexican border wall taps into the fear that the USA will no longer be a white majority country in the course of this century. Understanding what has divided us, past and present, is essential to understanding much of what’s going on in the world today. Covering China; the USA; Israel and Palestine; the Middle East; the Indian Subcontinent; Africa; Europe and the UK, bestselling author Tim Marshall presents a gripping and unflinching analysis of the fault lines that will shape our world for years to come.

Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of Flags book pdf download By Tim Marshall

When you see your nation’s flag fluttering in the breeze, what do you feel? For thousands of years flags have represented our hopes and dreams. We wave them. Burn them. March under their colours. And still, in the 21st century, we die for them. Flags fly at the UN, on the Arab street, from front porches in Texas. They represent the politics of high power as well as the politics of the mob. From the renewed sense of nationalism in China, to troubled identities in Europe and the USA, to the terrifying rise of Islamic State, the world is a confusing place right now and we need to understand the symbols, old and new, that people are rallying round. In nine chapters (covering the USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America, international flags and flags of terror), Tim Marshall draws on more than twenty-five years of global reporting experience to reveal the histories, the power and the politics of the symbols that unite us – and divide us

Shadowplay: Behind the Lines and Under Fire: The Inside Story of Europe’s Last War book pdf download By Tim Marshall

A gripping eyewitness account of a major 20th-century military conflict by the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics The shattering of Yugoslavia in the 1990s showed that, after nearly 50 years of peace, war could return to Europe. It came to its bloody conclusion in Kosovo in 1999. Tim Marshall, then diplomatic editor at Sky News, was on the ground covering the Kosovo War. This is his illuminating account of how events unfolded, a thrilling journalistic memoir drawing on personal experience, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with intelligence officials from five countries. Twenty years on from the war’s end, with the rise of Russian power, a weakened NATO and stalled EU expansion, this story is more relevant than ever, as questions remain about the possibility of conflict on European soil. Utterly gripping, this is Tim Marshall at his very best: behind the lines, under fire and full of the insight that has made him one of Britain’s foremost…

Author: Martin Gilbert

About the Author: The official biographer of Winston Churchill and a leading historian on the Twentieth Century, Sir Martin Gilbert was a scholar and an historian who, though his 88 books, has shown there is such a thing as “true history” Born in London in 1936, Martin Gilbert was educated at Highgate School, and Magdalen College, Oxford, graduating with First Class Honours.

A Segunda Guerra Mundial book pdf download By Martin Gilbert

A história da Segunda Guerra Mundial jamais deixará de ter importância para a humanidade, seja pela magnitude do conflito, por seu impacto na história moderna ou pelo horror da luta, que muito tem a revelar sobre o homem e a sociedade. Neste boxe, estão duas das principais obras que atualmente nos ajudam a entender esse conflito. Em ”A Segunda Guerra Mundial: os 2.174 dias que mudaram o mundo”, o historiador mundialmente consagrado Martin Gilbert faz um relato diário desse conflito, narrando em detalhes cada passo do terrível rolo compressor de morte e destruição que se alastrou por vários países. Já em O carisma de Adolph Hitler: o homem que conduziu milhões ao abismo, Laurence Rees conta a história do homem que, incapaz de estabelecer relacionamentos humanos, digamos, normais, e que parecia ser um líder improvável, conseguiu um apoio gigantesco, capaz de dar origem a um dos maiores conflitos da humanidade. O livro ajuda a entender como isso foi possível, fazendo uma análise surpreendente do homem que foi o protagonista dessa terrível página da História.
