Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2006EU pharmaceutical regulation
The politics of policy-making
by Govin Permanand, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys, Caroline Wilding
This book provides an analysis of European Union pharmaceutical regulation from a policy-making perspective. The focus is on how the often conflicting agendas of the pharmaceutical industry, the EU member states, the European Commission, and consumer interests are reconciled within the context of regulatory outcomes having to serve public health, healthcare and industrial policy needs within the single market. Breaking with more traditional approaches which stress the economic determinants of pharmaceutical policy, different strands of public policy analysis, regulatory and European integration and policy-making theories are invoked in developing a new conceptual approach to frame the analysis. In-depth case-studies in three key policy areas: patent protection, market authorisation, and pricing and reimbursement, provide substantive support. In providing a unique perspective on how and why EU pharmaceutical policy is made, the book will be of interest to academics, students and policy-practitioners interested in EU policy-making, regulation and public policy analysis. ;

August 2011Aufzeichnungen aus meiner Hütte
by Kamo no Chomei, Nicola Liscutin
Erdbeben, Tsunami, Taifune – immer wieder wird Japan von Naturgewalten überfallen, die in ihrer ungeheuerlichen zerstörerischen Macht ganze Landstriche, Ortschaften und ihre Einwohner vernichten. In ihrer Berichterstattung bemühen ausländische Journalisten gerne Kamo no Chomeis Worte von der Flüchtigkeit des menschlichen Lebens und der menschlichen Behausungen, um ihr Entsetzen, insbesondere aber einen „typisch japanischen” Stoizismus angesichts dieser Katastrophen zu beschreiben. Die Schreckensbilder, die uns in den vergangenen Wochen aus Japan erreichten, scheinen in der Tat den Chomei über achthundert Jahre früher skizzierten Naturkatastrophen verblüffend ähnlich. Die 'Aufzeichnungen aus meiner Hütte' sind damals wie heute gleichermaßen aktuell. Japan im zwölften Jahrhundert. Großbrände, Wirbelstürme und Erdbeben haben die Hauptstadt Kyoto zerstört, Seuchen breiten sich aus, die Leichen der Verhungerten türmen sich an den Straßenrändern. Eindrucksvoll schildert der Mönch Kamo no Chomei (1155-1216) das Inferno und die Naturkatastrophen, von denen die Hauptstadt heimgesucht wird, das Elend und die Not der Menschen werden lebendig – 'all diese Geschehnisse lehrten mich, die Mühsal, in dieser Welt zu leben, die Vergänglichkeit und Zerbrechlichkeit des menschlichen Körpers und der menschlichen Behausungen zu begreifen.' Nach den Erfahrungen von Elend, Tod und Vergänglichkeit zieht sich Kamo no Chomei im Alter von fünfzig Jahren von Hof und Amt zurück, um ein Schüler Buddhas zu werden. Er kehrt der Welt den Rücken und baut sich in den Bergen eine schlichte Klause, in der er die 'Aufzeichnungen aus meiner Hütte' beginnt. Er berichtet von seinem Einsiedlerleben in der Abgeschiedenheit, seine Gedanken kreisen um das Ideal des einfachen Lebens, um die Abkehr von den materiellen Werten und um die Frage, ob ihm in seiner kontemplativen Zurückgezogenheit die Überwindung der weltlichen Bindungen geglückt ist.

Politics & governmentNovember 2006The European Union and the regulation of media markets
None
by Alison Harcourt
National broadcasting and press regulation is undergoing a process of convergence in Europe. This book, newly available in paperback, explains how this process has been shaped by the actions of the European Union (EU) institutions. Alison Harcourt observes that whilst communications is one of the EU's most successful policy areas, European decision-making is eroding the national capacity to regulate for the public interest. European-level efforts to protect public interest goals have been constrained by the European Treaties. The author argues that increased European coordination in public interest regulation could be more conducive to growth and competitiveness than the dismantling of existing national laws. This, however, would require changes to the political composition of the European Union. This book assesses the potential EU media regulation provides for market growth and the protection of media pluralism, the citizen and ultimately democracy itself. These opportunities are presented in the coming decade with the developing European Constitution, EU enlargement, and the implementation and revision of European regulation.
