After the end of the Cold War, liberalism emerged as the world's dominant political-economic ideology, and economic liberalism seemed to have achieved global hegemony. In this work, Mark Vail acknowledges the dominance of economic liberalism, but argues that its implementation in specific countries is always unique and dependent upon powerful historical factors. He focuses on France, Germany, and Italy-countries that many scholars do not view as 'liberal' at all-and contends they have in fact developed distinct forms of national liberalism, of which their postwar models of capitalism were merely one manifestation.

Multiethnolektale Sprechweisen von Jugendlichen sind in mittel- und nordeuropäischen Ländern nicht nur ein Thema soziolinguistischer Forschung, sie werden auch in der Öffentlichkeit viel diskutiert. Trotz der großen Aufmerksamkeit, die das Thema auf sich zieht, gibt es für das Deutsche nur wenige Untersuchungen, die die linguistischen Phänomene auf ausreichender empirischer Basis beschreiben und auswerten. In der vorliegenden Korpusstudie wird die Sprache von Jugendlichen aus Stuttgart analysiert. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen multiethnolektale Syntagmen, bei denen Artikel, Präpositionen und Pronomen nicht verwendet werden. Die Forschungsergebnisse basieren auf über 6.000 Einzelbelegen aus Audiodaten, die im Rahmen von informellen Interviews in den Stadtteilen Stuttgart-Nord, Bad Cannstatt und Hallschlag entstanden sind. Die Funktion und der Gebrauch von Artikeln, Präpositionen und Pronomen im autochthonen Deutschen werden detailliert beschrieben, bevor anhand von umfangreichen syntaktischen und semantischen Analysen die sprachlichen Bedingungen herausausgearbeitet werden, unter denen die Jugendlichen die multiethnolektalen Strukturen verwenden. Gestützt werden diese Auswertungen durch Aussagen über die Häufigkeit der grammatischen Varianten in den verschiedenen syntaktisch-semantischen Kontexten. Eine multivariate Analyse bindet zudem außersprachliche Faktoren, beispielsweise den Einfluss der verschiedenen Familiensprachen, mit ein und zeigt, welche Variablen die Verwendung der multiethnolektalen Syntagmen steuern. Darüber hinaus liefern Auswertungen und Beobachtungen zum situativen Gebrauch wichtige Forschungsergebnisse zur multiethnolektalen Sprachvariation.

This book explores the interconnection between geopolitical context and the ways this context frames our knowledge about Asia, highlighting previously neglected cause-effect relations. It also examines how various knowledge institutions promote and shape Asian Studies. The authors seek to explain why Asian Studies and its subfields developed in the way they did, and what the implications of these transformations might be on intellectual and political understandings of Asia. The book not only builds on the current debates on the decolonization and de-imperialization of knowledge about Asia; it also proposes a more multifaceted view rather than just examining the impact of the West on the framing of Asian Studies.

Between 2002 and 2013, bilateral donors spent over $64 billion on AIDS intervention in low- and middle-income countries. During the same period, nearly 25 million died of AIDS and more than 32 million were newly infected with HIV. In this book for students of political economy and public policy in Africa, as well as global health, Kim Yi Dionne tries to understand why AIDS interventions in Africa often fail. The fight against AIDS requires the coordination of multiple actors across borders and levels of governance in highly affected countries, and these actors can be the primary sources of the problem. Dionne observes misaligned priorities along the global chain of actors, and argues this misalignment can create multiple opportunities for failure. Analyzing foreign aid flows and public opinion polls, Dionne shows that while the international community highly prioritizes AIDS, ordinary Africans view AIDS as but one of the many problems they face daily.

This work highlights the role of 'profiteers' in political efforts to expand market-based competition. Political struggles surrounding the gradual marketization of corporate control in Britain, Germany and France from the 1860s provide empirical illustration.
