        The City

        An Interdisciplinary Introduction to Urban Studies

        by Uwe Prell

        This book presents the current state of urban research across various disciplines. The author offers insights into the views of those key disciplines that deal with urbanism, such as sociology, geography, spatial and urban planning, history, philosophy, and political science. He also takes language philosophy into account and shows the different meanings of concepts related to cities in a dozen word languages. An overview of central approaches and theories as well as of their practical application enables readers to see a familiar topic in a new light.

        The Making of the World

        How International Organizations Shape Our Future

        by Yves Schemeil

        International Organizations (IOs) were designed to provide global public goods, among which security for all, trade for the richest, and development for the poorest. Their very existence is now a promise of success for the cooperative turn in international relations. Although the IO network was once created by established powers, rising states can hardly resist the massive production of norms that their governments can be reluctant to respect without being able to discard them. IOs are omnipresent, and exert great influence on the world as we know it. However, rulers and ruled are hardly aware of such compelling and snowballing processes. Yves Schemeil uses his in-depth knowledge of IOs to analyze their current impact on international relations, on world politics, and their potential of shaping the global future.   This book fills the gap between actual influence and extant knowledge of IOs; it also assesses the likeliness of an even more intertwined world, in which IOs’ network cannot be disentangled – at least, not as easily as assessed by authoritarian leaders and authoritative authors. The book is based on a sound knowledge of dozens of organizations directly or indirectly observed, either personally or through teams of students in several countries, which made it possible for the author to select the hardest cases to test his hypotheses, and assess the option that we may ever have a world government.

        A United Nations Renaissance

        What the UN is, and what it could be

        by John Trent/Laura Schnurr

        This short introduction to the United Nations analyzes the organization as it is today, and how it can be transformed to respond to its critics. Combining essential information about its history and workings with practical proposals of how it can be strengthened, Trent and Schnurr examine what needs to be done, and also how we can actually move toward the required reforms. This book is written for a new generation of change-makers — a generation seeking better institutions that reflect the realities of the 21st century and that can act collectively in the interest of all.

        Philosophy and Gender Difference

        On the path of a genealogical gender discourse

        by Andrea Günter

        Gender concepts have been hotly contested for more than 2500 years. For orientation in these disputes, it is important to know their traditions as well as conquered alternatives. Simone de Beauvoir's concepts of "existence" and "sexual differentiation" and Hannah Arendt's concept of plurality are crucial touchstones for reconstructing philosophical category theory and its entanglements with gender theorems. The book seeks out gender discourses in the history of philosophy from antiquity to modernity, makes the underlying concepts visible and reveals continuities and breaks within them.

        Discourse and Power

        Introduction to critical narrative theory

        by Peter V. Zima

        The book is an introduction into discourse analysis and an application of the concept of discourse to the exercise of power. In part one, the concept is demarcated vis à vis related notions such as “text” and “narrative”. At the same time, discourse is considered as an instrument of domination. In part two, sociology of the text as a reformulation of structural semiotics (Greimas) is applied to psychiatric, legal, political and scientific discourses as instruments of power.
