Over the last two decades, the field of public administration has witnessed theoretical and practical changes that have innovated the relationships between public administration and performance management. Dealing with the rising complexity of performance regimes in contemporary public administration requires that policy-makers and their organizations are able to face unpredictable problems impacting on a communitys quality of life. Among them, immigration, pandemics, societal aging, crime, unemployment, and financial crises. Such problems cannot be easily solved by quick fixes that are focused only on a short-term and bounded vision of their causes. They rather require, robust methods to support policy analysis and to affect sustainable community outcomes in cross-boundary settings.

Jorge Insunza Becker (April 21, 1936-March 17, 2019) was one of the main leaders of the Chilean Communist Party since the 1960s. He joined the Communist Youth in 1954. In 1962 he was promoted to the Central Committee of the PC and from 1965 he was part of his Political Commission, the one that led the triumph of Salvador Allende in 1970. After the 1973 coup d'état, he was part of the first clandestine communist leadership that assumed the resistance to the dictatorship, together with Víctor Díaz, Américo Zorrilla, Mario Zamorano and Uldarico Donaire. With the return to democracy, he was one of the main figures who addressed the crisis in the socialist countries and the reconstruction of a project of the revolutionary left. Likewise, he had an active role in the agreements that allowed the return of the PC to Congress in 2010 and promoted the pact that allowed the communists to return to government with President Michelle Bachelet in 2014. The 4 volumes that we present cover a large part of the extensive journalistic and political work of this outstanding leader of the Chilean left. Arranged in chronological sequence, the texts collect the main part of his intellectual elaboration from the 1960s to the beginning of the 21st century (Volumes I, II, III). Volume IV is a selection of the most relevant of his career, facilitating the documentary relationship contained in the previous volumes. Undoubtedly, due to the breadth of the compilation made, the whole of this work will be extremely useful both for specialists in history, and for the consultation of interested parties in general. Finally, the contributions of Isabel Torres and Rolando Álvarez, both historians, help to enhance the meaning of the performance that Jorge Insunza took on.

Der Konflikt zwischen der Türkei und der kurdischen Bevölkerung hat eine lange und verwobene Geschichte. Um die gegenwärtigen Spannungen und die Konsequenzen der staatlichen Politik verstehen zu können, ist ein Blick in die Vergangenheit unumgänglich. Ismail Küpeli nimmt sich diesem Komplex an und analysiert vor dem Hintergrund der historischen Entwicklungen die autoritäre und gewaltsame Durchsetzung von Nationalstaatlichkeit in der Türkei. Auf dieser Grundlage formuliert er darüber hinaus Empfehlungen für eine politische Bildung, die einen Beitrag für die Anerkennung von Pluralität und Diversität sowie für einen gesellschaftlichen Friedensprozess liefern kann.

The storming of the US Capitol building in January 2021 focused attention on the multiple threats facing contemporary liberal democracies. Beyond the immediate problem of Covid-19, the past two decades saw political polarization, a dramatic rise in inequality, global warming and other environmental threats, as well as the growth of dangerous cultural and political divisions. Western liberal democracies find themselves in the midst of what political theorists call a legitimation crisis: major portions of the population lack confidence in the ability of governments to address our most pressing problems. This distrust in government and traditional political parties opened the door to populist leaders and a rising tide of authoritarianism.Liberal democracies face major structural and normative challenges in the near future that require us to look beyond the traditional set of solutions available. Democracy in Crisis points back to the world's first democratic government, Ancient Athen.
