The immense ideological significance that the city of Rome held since the times of the late republic corresponded until the 2nd century AD with the actual supremacy of the urbs within the Imperium Romanum: Rome was the place where socially and politically influential players and groups met; it was where they tried to create an atmosphere of mutual understanding and agreement through complex ways of interaction. Until well into the imperial era the senatorial aristocracy considered the interacting presence of Rome as a major constant of their lifestyle. At least until the 1st century AD the emperors could not disengage themselves from the reference framework that the city was. Therefore, the forms and the reasons for aristocratic and imperial absence are of particular interest. Which role the absence of Rome played in the system of aristocratic interaction and which implications it had for politics and the society of the late republic and the early imperial era is the subject of the present study. Astrid Habenstein's work was awarded by the Historical Institute at the University of Bern with the prize for the best PhD-thesis in 2012. Der immensen ideellen Bedeutung, die der Stadt Rom seit der späten Republik zugemessen wurde, entsprach bis in das 2. Jhd. n. Chr. die reale Vorrangstellung der urbs im Imperium Romanum: In Rom trafen die gesellschaftlich und politisch maßgebenden Akteure und Gruppen aufeinander, hier versuchten sie in Form komplexer Interaktionen gegenseitiges Verständnis und Einvernehmen herzustellen. Bis in die Kaiserzeit betrachtete die Senatsaristokratie die interagierende Präsenz in Rom als wesentliche Größe ihrer Lebensführung. Zumindest im 1. Jhd. n. Chr. konnten sich auch die Kaiser nicht vom Referenzrahmen der Stadt lösen. Umso interessanter sind Formen und Anlässe aristokratischer oder kaiserlicher Absenz. Welche Funktionen die Abwesenheit von Rom im System der aristokratischen Interaktion hatte und welche Implikationen dies für Politik und Gesellschaft der späten Republik und frühen Kaiserzeit mit sich brachte, ist Gegenstand der vorliegenden Studie. Die Arbeit wurde 2012 mit dem Preis des Historischen Instituts der Universität Bern für die beste Dissertation des Jahres 2012 ausgezeichnet.

With more than 18 million refugees worldwide, the refugee problem has fostered an intense debate regarding what political changes are necessary in the international system to provide effective solutions in the 1990's and beyond. In the past, refugees have been perceived largely as a problem of international charity, but as the end of the Cold War triggers new refugee movements across the globe, governments are being forced to develop a more systematic approach to the refugee problem. Beyond Charity provides the first extensive overview of the world refugee crisis today, asserting that refugees

The wars of the twentieth century uprooted people on a previously unimaginable scale to the extent that being a refugee became an increasingly widespread experience. With the arrival of refugees, governments of host countries had to mediate between divided national populations: some wished to welcome those arriving in search of refuge; others preferred a strategy of exclusion or even expulsion. At the same time, refugees had to manage conflicts of the self as they responded to the loss of nationhood, families, socio-political networks, material goods, and arguably also a sense of belonging or

The notion of America as land of refuge is vital to American civic consciousness yet over the past seventy years the country has had a complicated and sometimes erratic relationship with its refugee populations. Attitudes and actions toward refugees from the government, voluntary organizations, and the general public have ranged from acceptance to rejection; from well-wrought program efforts to botched policy decisions. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary and historical material, and based on the author's three-decade experience in refugee research and policy, Safe Haven? provides an integrated portrait of this crucial component of American immigration-and of American engagement with the world. Covering seven decades of immigration history, Haines shows how refugees and their American hosts continue to struggle with national and ethnic identities and the effect this struggle has had on American institutions and attitudes.

Seit Sommer 2015 ist die angewachsene Flüchtlingsbewegung nach Westeuropa das beherrschende Thema in Gesellschaft und Medien. Die medizinische Versorgung von Flüchtlingen stellt alle an der Versorgung Beteiligten vor fachliche, menschliche und gesellschaftspolitische Herausforderungen.Bisher gibt es keine Leitlinien in der Diagnostik und Therapie typischer Krankheiten von Asylsuchenden. Dieses Buch dient als Leitfaden für die klinische Praxis und geht dabei prägnant und anschaulich auf die häufigsten Krankheiten von erwachsenen und minderjährigen Asylsuchenden, Prävention, Hygiene, interkulturelle Kommunikation, sowie politische und organisatorische Aspekte ein. Hierbei gliedert sich das Buch in Untersuchungstechniken, Infektiologie, nicht-infektiologische Krankheitsbilder, Dermatologie, Zahnmedizin, Gynäkologie und Psychiatrie, jeweils unterteilt für Erwachsene und Kinder. Schwerpunktthemen werden durch Illustrationen und Infoboxen veranschaulicht. Darüberhinaus werden als Kommunikationshilfe medizinische Fachbegriffe in der jeweiligen Landessprache sowie weiterführende Kontaktadressen angegeben. Ein Sprachlexikon bietet zudem die Möglichkeit, wesentliche anamnestische Fragen in der entsprechenden Landessprache zu erheben. This interdisciplinary work presents the challenges of providing medical and psychosocial care to refugees. It draws upon the example of the "Charité hilft" [Charité helps] project at the Charité university hospital in Berlin to develop guidelines for medical practice while also covering important underlying legal and political issues.
