As Others See Us
This collection of articles shows that some media products ought to carry a mental health warning : Some school books still contain simplistic presentations of England and Germany. English and German journalists admit that the entertainment value of their articles sometimes takes precedence over impartial reporting. English children's books may contain a reasonable mixture of good and bad Germans but some wartime films needed more sinister types for propaganda. "Made in Germany" originated in English legislation as a label against German competition but became a German marketing tool. A minister in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet made unprintable remarks about Germany. When they were printed, the Ridley Affair proved to be the beginning of the downfall of Britain's controversial Prime Minister.

European Union Foreign Policy and the Global Climate Regime
Ever since the first international negotiations on climate change in the early 1990s, the European Union has aspired to play a leading role in global climate politics. This book engages in a longitudinal analysis of the EU's participation in and impact on the United Nations climate regime. It provides not only comprehensive insights into the evolution of EU foreign climate policy, but also a thought-provoking audit of the potential and limits of the EU's influence in a major domain of global affairs.

German-Irish Corporate Relationships
The book addresses the question of whether, in an age of internationalisation and globalisation, cultural differences are still relevant to German-Irish corporate relationships ? The first three chapters establish the theoretical framework for the analysis by exploring the notion of culture, profiling the business cultures of both countries, and examining existing approaches to the study of parent company-foreign subsidiary relationships. In the following three chapters, using interviews carried out with two sample groups (fifteen German parent companies and fourteen of their Irish operations ; seven Irish parent companies and nine of their German operations), the parent companies in both groups are examined to see whether they demonstrate characteristics which are in keeping with their national business cultures. Their foreign operations are then analysed as is the parent company-foreign subsidiary relationship to determine whether any parent company influences are visible. The general approaches adopted by the two groups of parent companies to their foreign operations are compared and contrasted. Finally differences in national attitudes and values are identified and their impact assessed.

One Artist on Five Continents
Elisabet Delbrück (1876-1967) was one of a number of Germans who came to New Zealand in the late 1930s. Unlike most, she had not intended to emigrate but was touring the country when World War II broke out. She was at first forbidden to leave and then chose to remain in Wellington. Her thirty years in Mahina Bay on Wellington harbour had a profound effect on all who knew her. This study aims to discover why she was so remarkable. It explores her early life, her marriage into a prominent German family and her qualification as an artist. She turned this into a profession, teaching and exhibiting on five continents in the 1920s and 1930s. She always travelled alone, observing the customs and beliefs of the people she met. In Australia and New Zealand in 1938 and 1939 she was wrongly suspected of spreading Nazi propaganda. Her story is also the story of a heroic group of Wellingtonians who helped her in the 1940s and valued her friendship till her death.

The Threat of Logical Mathematism
The present survey of the critique of mathematical logic in Germany at the turn of the 20th century attempts to answer several interesting questions : How did the contemporary German philosophers see the role and significance of logic ? What kind of relationships did they claim to exist between logic, mathematics, linguistics and psychology ? Pulkkinen starts by giving a historical survey of the development of German logic 1830-1920 as it appears against the background of German academic philosophy. Next he studies the interrelationships between logic and psychology, logic and linguistics, and logic and mathematics. After this the author presents the general features of the reception of mathematical logic in Germany between 1880 and 1920. This is followed by a more detailed account of the arguments of three individual critics : Fritz Mauthner, Heinrich Rickert, and Theodor Ziehen.

Ethnicity, Structured Inequality, and the State in Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany
This volume focuses on the reshaping of ethnicity in Berlin and Toronto that resulted from the economic stagnation, industrial restructuring, and return to conservative government in Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1980s. It addresses a broad range of issues crystalizing around ethnicity, inequality, and the state. It approaches these problems using such diverse methods as systems theory, questionnaires, interviews, various quantitative measures, and historical analysis. Ethnicity is discussed as it functions at the workplace, in the family, in neighborhoods, in immigrant and other organizations, and in the immigrants' relation to the state through its mediating bureaucracies.

György Ligeti
Au-delà des chapelles, des clans, des écoles et du cercle toujours étroit des musiciens contemporains, la musique de György Ligeti (1923-2006) a su trouver une large audience. Les textures inouïes, sidérales, des grandes oeuvres pour orchestre : Apparitions (1958-1959), Atmosphères (1961), Lontano (1967), Melodien (1971), le sens dramatique profond révélé dans une multitude de prismes, allant de la dérision ostentatoire (Aventures, 1962) jusqu'à la plus pure suggestion intérieure (Etudes pour piano, 1985-2001) en passant par la geste opératique tragique (Requiem, 1963-1965) ou bouffonne (Le Grand Macabre, 1974-1977), prisme fondé sur une poétique des rythmes qui en avive la perception en profondeur (Continuum, 1968 ; Clocks and Clouds, 1972-1973 ; Concerto pour piano, 1980-1988), ainsi qu'un rapport unique aux timbres, à leur plasticité, à leur sensualité (Concerto de chambre, 1969-1970 ; Concerto pour violon, 1989-1993 ; Síppal, Dobbal, Nádiheged vel, 2000) lui ont permis de capter un vaste public, grâce d'autant plus puissante que rare. Avec une empathie de compositeur, Karol Beffa met ici en perspective les périodes créatrices de György Ligeti, de ses débuts, dominés par l'admiration de Bartók, confrontés aux tragédies du XXe siècle, à l'accomplissement atteint en Europe de l'Ouest. Les différents foyers dans lesquels il put s'épanouir (Cologne et son Studio de musique électronique, l'avant-gardiste Darmstadt, la dadaïste Düsseldorf, Hambourg où il enseigna la composition) sont évoqués ici comme les jalons façonnant une personnalité radicalement indépendante, dont les modèles pour la création étaient aussi bien littéraires et picturaux que musicaux.

Health Problems in Asia and in the Federal Republic of Germany- How to solve them?
In order to cope with health problems in developing or developed countries, means have to be tested before preventive, promotive and curative measures can be implemented on a nationwide basis by health authorities. Problems and constraints of such intervention trials seem to be similar in developing and developed countries although there are differences in the disease patterns. In the near future, especially the Asian countries will be facing similar health problems as the western countries, in addition to their present problems. Scientists from various Asian countries and the Federal Republic of Germany discussed intervention measures in the field of health delivery system, family planning, parasite control, mother and child health care as well as nutrition.

Educational Assistance and School Development in Sierra Leone
The subject of foreign assistance in education for developing countries has gained increasing importance in the last twenty years. The fact that the efforts of both donors and recipients of assistance have not been entirely satisfying has resulted in repeated appeals for intensified scientific investigation into this area. This study represents a response to those appeals from the point of view of an educationist from a recipient country (Sierra Leone).Using historical and field investigations, case studies of three representative agencies were conducted between 1988 and 1989 : a multilateral (UNESCO), a bilateral (British) and a private (Baptist Church).The results indicate that both the approach and goals of aid agencies as well as the degree of involvement of target groups leave a lot to be desired. On the basis of these results, recommendations are made for future cooperation.

Debating National Security
The nature of security in the contemporary world is changing rapidly. Superpower detente, the progress and further prospects of arms control, the collapse of East European communist regimes, and German unification, to name but the most spectacular features, present unprecedented challenges not only for political decision-makers, but also for the mass publics in democratic societies. What are the trends of public opinion on these issues and how do they reflect these changes ? By what factors are pertinent public attitudes shaped and what structures do emerge ? How can they be reliably assessed and meaningfully analyzed ? Which demands flow from the dynamics of public opinion that have to be taken into account in security policy making ? These are the key questions addressed by the twelve contributions to this volume. Combining longitudinal and comparative approaches they cover the public dimension of the national security debate in seven Western nations : Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States.

Journal 1962-1969
En 1962, après six années d'interruption et l'autodafé de ses précédents cahiers, S+awomir Mrozek reprend l'habitude de tenir son journal. Il jouit déjà en Pologne d'une immense popularité, les autorités communistes lui font les yeux doux et l'encouragent même à voyager. Et c'est à l'occasion d'un séjour en Italie, sans l'avoir nullement prémédité, que Mrozek fait le choix de l'exil. Il écrit Tango, l'une des pièces qui lui vaudront sa renommée internationale, voyage d'une capitale à l'autre au gré des représentations, et se trouve à Paris en août 1968, lorsque les armées du Pacte de Varsovie écrasent le Printemps de Prague. Par une lettre ouverte dans Le Monde, Mrozek s'insurge et, dans la foulée, il demande l'asile politique à la France. Sa femme, l'artiste peintre Maria Obremba, tombe soudain gravement malade. Elle mourra d'un cancer à Berlin-Ouest et c'est sur cette tragédie intime que s'achève ce premier volume du journal. Le lecteur découvrira non seulement le laboratoire d'un auteurà l'humour irrésistible, mais aussi ses doutes, ses tourments, ses colères, comme lorsqu'il s'écrie : " Seigneur, comme je hais la littérature !

The Public Concept of Land Ownership
In South Korea the increase of population and the economic growth together with a shortage of arable land has led to land speculation. The government has tried to encounter this speculation with legislative acts introducing ceilings on land ownership, imposing taxes on excessive land holding and controlling real-estate transactions. These public policy measures are understood in Korea as the "Public Concept of Land Ownership". The Korean reports collected in this book explain in detail this concept and measure it by its economic efficiency as well as by its constitutionality. A part of the German reports describes how the same legal questions are dealt with under German law. Other reports examine the history of land ownership and the reprivatisation of land in East Germany after 1990.

Paris-Londres. Music Migrations 1962-1989
Bien qu'ayant des développer urbains distincts, Paris et Londres ont des histoires migratoires comparables de 1962 à 1989, et connectées. Dans ces deux anciennes métropoles d'empire, les scènes culturelles et artistiques, en particulier les scènes musicales, ont été impulsées, irriguées et enrichies par les diverses migrations postcoloniales. La musique a été un moyen d'expression privilégié pour que des générations d'immigrés et leurs enfants fassent entendre leur voix et revendiquent leur place et leurs droits contre le racisme, la ségrégation et les violences, contribuant ainsi à la la métamorphose de ces deux villes en capitales mondialisées. Ce catalogue, publié l'occasion de l'exposition "Paris-Londres. Music Migrations 1962-1989", retrace travers des textes de référence, témoignages et documents iconographiques inédits l'histoire d'un brassage multiculturel particulièrement fertile, entre singularités, trajets parallèles, regards croises et points de rencontre.

Manufactories in Germany
In eighteenth century Germany goods were produced in manufactories as well as by independent craftsmen and artisans employed by capitalists. The manufactories using tools and manually operated machines foreshadowed in many respects the factories of the nineteenth century. State and local support for the manufactories was aimed at reducing unemployment, maintaining military strength and securing foreign currency. Although not all manufactories were successful they provided a valuable heritage of industrial and commercial skills which were profitable to later entrepreneurs. However, those who - like Karl Marx - considered the manufactories to be a stage in the process of industrialisation have been proved wrong.
