Rechtliche Freiheit: Politik und Recht in der kategorialen Wahrnehmung (Politische Bildung)
by Julia NeuhofJulia Neuhof zeigt, dass Komplexität und Unübersichtlichkeit politisch-rechtlicher Entwicklungen in der modernen Gesellschaft über eine kategorial orientierte politische Bildung vermittelbar sein können. Die Voraussetzungen hierfür werden in einer qualitativen Studie zu der Wahrnehmung rechtlicher Freiheit mit Schülerinnen erfasst. So existieren thematisch vielfältige Kategorisierungen der Lernenden. Für diese lassen sich auf dem politikdidaktisch tradierten Weg kategorialer Bildung Anschlüsse an sozialwissenschaftliche Begriffe zur Deutung politisch-rechtlicher Realität schaffen. Darüber hinaus bestehen jedoch Wahrnehmungshindernisse in der kategorialen Erschließung, die neue politikdidaktische Lehr-Lern-Strategien erforderlich machen. Wie diese aussehen können, wird von der Autorin im Kontext politisch-rechtlichen Lernens vorgeschlagen.

Rechtsextremismus in Deutschland: Eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme
by Armin Pfahl-TraughberGegenwärtig ist viel vom „Rechtsruck“ die Rede. Doch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland hat es immer auch Rechtsextremismus gegeben. Die aktuellen Entwicklungen sollten daher im Kontext der Vergangenheit gesehen werden. Das vorliegende Buch versteht sich sowohl als Einführung wie als Überblicksdarstellung dazu. Es werden die zentralen Begriffe definiert und konkretisiert sowie die Ideologieelemente und -familien erläutert und unterschieden. Der inhaltlichen Kern besteht aus einer Darstellung und Einschätzung der Entwicklung des parteiförmigen und kulturellen, aktionsorientierten und organisationsförmigen, subkulturellen und bewegungsförmigen, gewalttätigen und terroristischen Rechtsextremismus. Dabei werden auch die AfD, die Neue Rechte oder Pegida als neue Phänomene behandelt und eingeschätzt. Außerdem stehen die rechtsextremistischen Einstellungen in der Gesellschaft mit im Zentrum. Und dann werden die Erklärungsansätze noch beschreibend dargestellt und kritisch erörtert. All dies mündet in einer bilanzierenden Gefahrenpotentialeinschätzung

Verschiedene typische Charakteristika wie das spezielle Verh#65533;ltnis zu den Medien oder der charismatische Anf#65533;hrer sollen den Blick f#65533;r populistische Ph#65533;nomene in der heutigen Zeit kl#65533;ren und die Analyse der beiden Fallbeispiele PVV und AfD, sowie ihre spezifischen Eigenheiten leichter nachvollziehbar machen.
Rechtspopulismus in Deutschland: Wahlverhalten in Zeiten politischer Polarisierung
by Heinz Ulrich Brinkmann Karl-Heinz ReubandWelchen Stellenwert haben soziökonomische, politische und kulturelle Faktoren für rechtspopulistischen Protest und die Wahl der AfD? Welchen Einfluss nehmen regionale Lebensbedingungen und Sozialisationsprozesse? Und wie sehr wirkt die „Flüchtlingskrise“ ein, selbst nachdem sie aus dem Blickpunkt der Öffentlichkeit gerückt ist? Auf der Basis neuer empirischer Befunde und Analysen werden in dem vorliegenden Band Prozesse und Potentiale gesellschaftlicher Polarisierung untersucht und neue Perspektiven eröffnet.
Rechtsterrorismus: Radikale Milieus, Politische Gelegenheitsstrukturen und Framing am Beispiel des NSU (Bürgergesellschaft und Demokratie)
by Jan SchedlerDer „Nationalsozialistische Untergrund“ (NSU) ermordete bis zu seiner Selbstaufdeckung 2011 zehn Menschen und verletzte zahlreiche weitere. Zwischen 1999 und 2011 verübte die Gruppe zehn Mordanschläge und drei Sprengstoffanschläge. Während die Bundesanwaltschaft im NSU-Prozess das Bild eines isolierten und nur von einzelnen Neonazis unterstützten Trios zeichnete, dem auch das Gericht in seinem Urteil folgte, zeichnet diese Studie ein verzweigtes Netzwerk nach und betont die Rolle der neonazistischen Bewegung bei der Entstehung, Radikalisierung und Unterstützung des NSU. Unter Rückgriff auf Ansätze aus der Forschung zu sozialen Bewegungen wird neben der Bedeutung radikaler Milieus auch die gesellschaftlicher Kontextbedingungen herausgearbeitet. Zu diesen Gelegenheitsstrukturen zählen etwa das Protest Policing, insbesondere die Vertrauenspersonenpraxis der Verfassungsschutzämter, oder der Asyldiskurs in den frühen 1990er Jahren. Auf der Grundlage von empirischem Material aus der neonazistischen Bewegung wird zusätzlich der bewegungsinterne Gewaltdiskurs untersucht und die diskursive Konstruktion von Deutungs- und Handlungsrahmen in Bewegung und radikalen Milieus und ihre Bedeutung für die Gewaltpraxis des NSU analysiert. Damit zeigt diese Studie Perspektiven für die Erforschung des Rechtsterrorismus auf, die auch unabhängig vom NSU relevant sind.
Rechtsterrorismus in der alten Bundesrepublik: Historische und sozialwissenschaftliche Perspektiven (Edition Rechtsextremismus)
by Hendrik Puls Fabian VirchowDie politische und wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit für rechtsterroristische Gewalt hat nach Bekanntwerden der Morde des NSU (Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund) zugenommen. Zugleich ist die lange Geschichte des Rechtsterrorismus in Deutschland im Detail und unter Auswertung zeitgenössischer Archivalien und Dokumente noch weitgehend unerforscht. Der Band versammelt entsprechend aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse zu rechtsterroristischer Gewalt in den 1980er Jahren, einer Hochphase dieser Gewaltpraxis.
Recipe for America

This book will be part of the burgeoning food social movement, as it provides a guide to the most important issues and how to work on them."--Marion Nestle"Jill's work at Daily Kos represents the best of the people-powered movement. It's a pleasure to see her work reach a new plateau and come to the attention of a wider audience."--Markos MoulitsasAmerica's food system is dominated by agribusiness and corporate farms, whose destructive practices pollute the environment, are cruel to animals, and offer us unhealthy food choices. Despite this dire situation, most people have little idea how to eat differently, or healthier.In Recipe for America, food activist Jill Richardson shows how sustainable agriculture--where local farms raise food that is healthy for consumers and animals and does not damage the environment--offers the only solution to America's food crisis.

Recipe for Homicide (The Dr. Daniel Webster Coffee Mysteries)
by Lawrence G. BlochmanA public relations man finds himself in hot water when murder is added to the mix at the soup company where he works. Luckily, Dr. Coffee is on the case. After crowning a Carrot Queen—the fastest carrot peeler at the factory—the Barzac Soup Company is on a public relations roll under director Robert Gilmore. It plans to raise its profile—and stock price—even higher by introducing field rations for the US Army. But when an employee drops dead hours after tasting the field rations, Gilmore has a PR nightmare on his hands . . . With his job on the line, Gilmore seeks the help of pathologist Dr. Daniel Webster Coffee, a man who enjoys good food as much as the unassailable practice of good medicine. But what he discovers raises the stakes: The victim died of arsenic poisoning. The rations could have been deliberately sabotaged as an act of war. As tensions reach a boiling point, Gilmore finds his past, his heart, and his life on the line . . . &“Blochman fans generally tend to think of him as more intellectual than the average pulp author, and based on one book, we can&’t disagree. Recipe is scientific detection, and plenty detailed enough for readers who like that sort of thing . . . for 1954, this is nuanced stuff.&” —Pulp International
The Recipe for Revolution
by Carolyn ChuteThe PEN New England Award–winning author returns to Egypt, Maine, where revolution is brewing in a rural compound as the twenty-first century approaches.It’s September 1999, and Gordon St. Onge, known as “The Prophet”, presides over his controversial Settlement in rural Maine.

Gordon soon finds himself at the center of an uprising, the consequences of which no one can predict.
Recipes for Urban Happiness: Design for Community Well-being
by Jenny DonovanThe experiences we enjoy, endure, or miss out on are influenced by what our surroundings allow and invite us to do. Just like our food diet, our experience diet influences our health and so our chances of finding happiness and fulfilling our potential. A healthy experience diet offers inspiration, reassurance, delight, and play. It nurtures physical, cognitive, and emotional health, builds resilience, and fosters confidence and self-esteem. An unhealthy experience diet lacks these things and consigns people to lives diminished in quantity and quality. Recipes for Urban Happiness offers an innovative way of looking at the relationship between people and place and redefines what good urban design is. The book outlines what designers and non-designers can do to create urban places where nurturing behaviours are both possible and preferable. Recipes for Urban Happiness will be relevant to public health, community development, and design practitioners, as well as students and academics.
Reciprocity and China’s Transboundary Waters: The Law of International Watercourses (Earthscan Studies in Water Resource Management)
by David J. DevlaeminckUtilizing the principle of reciprocity, Reciprocity and China’s Transboundary Waters: The Law of International Watercourses analyses the past, present and future of the law of international watercourses with a particular focus on China. As a legal principle, reciprocity plays a strong role in the formation, interpretation and maintenance of international law. Implementing this framework, the book examines the development of the law of international watercourses, highlighting how this basic legal principle is a foundational notion. It applies the framework to China and offers insights into one of the most important transboundary states in Asia. As a primarily upstream state, China is of great significance to its transboundary neighbours; however, there remain significant hurdles, misunderstandings and mistrust between China and its neighbours. China is faced with a complex challenge - how to meet its own development needs while also taking into consideration its primarily downstream neighbours? By focusing on this prominent state this work not only fosters a greater understanding of the law of international watercourses within China, but also clarifies and challenges current perceptions of China’s transboundary water treaty practice. More generally, the book provides a past, present and future view on international watercourse law, starting with an analysis of the UN Watercourses Convention and UNECE Water Convention leading to a discussion of reciprocity’s continued influence as well as charting a path forward. This book will be of great interest to legal students and scholars with an interest in international watercourses, environmental politics and international law, as well as students and scholars interested in Chinese politics and natural resource management and conflict.
Reciprocity and the Art of Behavioural Public Policy
by Adam OliverWhat motivates human behaviour? Drawing on literatures from anthropology to zoology, Oliver examines how we are motivated to give and take, rather than give or take. This book reviews the evolution of reciprocity as a motivator of behaviour, in terms of its observation in non-human species, in very young humans, and in societies that we can reasonably expect are similar to those in which our distant ancestors lived. The behavioural economic and social psychology literature that aims to discern when and in what circumstances reciprocity is likely to be observed and sustained is also reviewed, followed by a discussion on whether reciprocity is relevant to both the economic and the social domains. The dark sides of reciprocity are considered, before turning again to the light, and how the potentially beneficial effects of reciprocity might best be realised. This culminates in the presentation of a new political economy of behavioural public policy, with reciprocity playing a prominent role.
Reciprocity in Human Societies: From Ancient Times to the Modern Welfare State
by Antti Kujala Mirkka DanielsbackaPresenting new insights into reciprocity, this book combines Marcel Mauss’s well-known gift theory with Barrington Moore’s idea of mutual obligations linking rulers and the ruled. Teasing out the interrelatedness of these approaches, Reciprocity in Human Societies suggests that evolutionary psychology reveals a human tendency for reciprocity and collaboration, not only in a mutually cooperative way but also through increasing retributive moral emotions. The book discusses various historical societies and the different models of the current welfare state—Nordic (social democratic), conservative, and liberal— and the repercussions of the neoliberal policies of tax havens, tax cuts, and austerity with a cross-disciplinary approach that bridges evolutionary psychology, sociology, and social anthropology with history.
Reciprocity in International Law: Its impact and function (Routledge Research in International Law)
by Shahrad Nasrolahi FardIn international relations, reciprocity describes an environment in which States support one another for short- or long-term advantage through the balancing of rights, duties and interests. This book examines reciprocity in the context of international law. It considers the role reciprocity plays in the creation and development of international law as well as in the interpretation and application of international law. The book illuminates the reciprocal framework of international law and international relations by examining the role reciprocity plays in different types of States’ obligations, including bilateral, bilateralisable multilateral, non-bilateralisable multilateral and obligations erga omnes. The book examines how reciprocity is intertwined with the principle of equality, as the rights and obligations of States are equal irrespective of size and economic or military strength, and the beneficial effects of reciprocity in creating stability and cooperation amongst States.
Reciprocity in International Law (Global Issues)
by Marcin KałduńskiThe world is changing. The era of globalization – where the states have been eager to cooperate towards common aims – might seem to be disappearing. Russia expresses a contempt for international law, China makes claim to power, while the United States, at least temporarily, shows disregard to international institutions they themselves created (in particular, the WTO and the WHO). The growing phenomenon of nationalistic and authoritarian leaders may seem to hamper the development of community interests. Some states may be more inclined to resort to reciprocal behaviour as certain events indicate (e.g., the exchange of prisoners-of-war in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and an exchange of economic sanctions – tit-for-tat or tat-for-tat). The field of international law appears to be returning to first principles in the light of multiple world crises. Thus, reciprocity – as a classic concept of international law – may “come back from the shadows,” be reinvented and reinforced to form one of the basic pillars in the relations among states. Given the above, the purpose of the book is to rediscover and identify the position and role of reciprocity in contemporary international law.
Reckless: Henry Kissinger and the Tragedy of Vietnam
by Robert K. BrighamHenry Kissinger's role in the Vietnam War prolonged the American tragedy and doomed the government of South Vietnam The American war in Vietnam was concluded in 1973 after eight years of fighting, bloodshed, and loss. Yet the terms of the truce that ended the war were effectively identical to what had been offered to the Nixon administration four years earlier. Those four years cost America and Vietnam thousands of lives and billions of dollars, and they were the direct result of the supposed master plan of the most important voice in American foreign policy: Henry Kissinger. Using newly available archival material from the Nixon Presidential Library, Kissinger's personal papers, and material from the archives in Vietnam, Robert K. Brigham punctures the myth of Kissinger as an infallible mastermind. Instead, he constructs a portrait of a rash, opportunistic, and suggestible politician. It was personal political rivalries, the domestic political climate, and strategic confusion that drove Kissinger's actions. There was no great master plan or Bismarckian theory that supported how the US continued the war or conducted peace negotiations. Its length was doubled for nothing but the ego and poor judgment of a single figure. This distant tragedy, perpetuated by Kissinger's actions, forever changed both countries. Now, perhaps for the first time, we can see the full scale of that tragedy and the machinations that fed it.

Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon
by Gretchen Morgenson Joshua RosnerA Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book for 2011One of The Economist's 2011 Books of the Year TheNew York Times's Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist reveals how the financial meltdown emerged from the toxic interplay of Washington, Wall Street, and corrupt mortgage lendersIn Reckless Endangerment, Gretchen Morgenson, the star business columnist of The New York Times, exposes how the watchdogs who were supposed to protect the country from financial harm were actually complicit in the actions that finally blew up the American economy. Drawing on previously untapped sources and building on original research from coauthor Joshua Rosner—who himself raised early warnings with the public and investors, and kept detailed records—Morgenson connects the dots that led to this fiasco. Morgenson and Rosner draw back the curtain on Fannie Mae, the mortgage-finance giant that grew, with the support of the Clinton administration, through the 1990s, becoming a major opponent of government oversight even as it was benefiting from public subsidies. They expose the role played not only by Fannie Mae executives but also by enablers at Countrywide Financial, Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, HUD, Congress, the FDIC, and the biggest players on Wall Street, to show how greed, aggression, and fear led countless officials to ignore warning signs of an imminent disaster. Character-rich and definitive in its analysis, this is the one account of the financial crisis you must read.
The Reckless Mind: Revised Edition
by Mark LillaEuropean history of the past century is full of examples of philosophers, writers, and scholars who supported or excused the worst tyrannies of the age. How was this possible? How could intellectuals whose work depends on freedom defend those who would deny it? In profiles of six leading twentieth-century thinkers--Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, Alexandre Kojève, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida--Mark Lilla explores the psychology of political commitment. As continental Europe gave birth to two great ideological systems in the twentieth century, communism and fascism, it also gave birth to a new social type, the philotyrannical intellectual. Lilla shows how these thinkers were not only grappling with enduring philosophical questions, they were also writing out of their own experiences and passions. These profiles demonstrate how intellectuals can be driven into a political sphere they scarcely understand, with momentous results.In a new afterword, Lilla traces how the intellectual world has changed since the end of the cold war. The ideological passions of the past have been replaced in the West, he argues, by a dogma of individual autonomy and freedom that both obscures the historical forces at work in the present and sanctions ignorance about them, leaving us ill-equipped to understand those who are inflamed by the new global ideologies of our time.
The Reckoning: Iraq and the Legacy of Saddam Hussein

The Reckoning: Debt, Democracy, and the Future of American Power
by Michael MoranA leading forecaster of economic and political trends takes a sharp look at the decline of American influence in the world, and how it can prepare for the new reality. The age of American global dominance is ending. Today, a host of forces are converging to challenge its cherished notion of exceptionalism, and risky economic and foreign policies have steadily eroded the power structure in place since the Cold War. Staggering under a huge burden of debt, the country must make some tough choices—or cede sovereignty to its creditors. In The Reckoning, Michael Moran, geostrategy analyst explores the challenges ahead -- and what, if anything, can be prevent chaos as America loses its perch at the top of the mountain. Covering developments like unprecedented information technologies, the growing prosperity of China, India, Brazil, and Turkey, and the diminished importance of Wall Street in the face of global markets, Moran warns that the coming shift will have serious consequences not just for the United States, but for the wider world. Countries that have traditionally depended on the United States for protection and global stability will have to fend for themselves. Moran describes how, with a bit of wise leadership, America can transition to this new world order gracefully—by managing entitlements, reigniting sustainable growth, reforming immigration policy, launching new regional dialogues that bring friend and rival together in cooperative multinational structures, and breaking the poisonous deadlock in Washington. If not, he warns, history won't wait.
Reckoning: The Ends of War in Guatemala
by Diane M. NelsonFollowing the 1996 treaty ending decades of civil war, how are Guatemalans reckoning with genocide, especially since almost everyone contributed in some way to the violence? Meaning "to count, figure up" and "to settle rewards and punishments," reckoning promises accounting and accountability. Yet as Diane M. Nelson shows, the means by which the war was waged, especially as they related to race and gender, unsettled the very premises of knowing and being. Symptomatic are the stories of duplicity pervasive in postwar Guatemala, as the left, the Mayan people, and the state were each said to have "two faces. " Drawing on more than twenty years of research in Guatemala, Nelson explores how postwar struggles to reckon with traumatic experience illuminate the assumptions of identity more generally. Nelson brings together stories of human rights activism, Mayan identity struggles, coerced participation in massacres, and popular entertainment--including traditional dances, horror films, and carnivals--with analyses of mass-grave exhumations, official apologies, and reparations. She discusses the stereotype of the Two-Faced Indian as colonial discourse revivified by anti-guerrilla counterinsurgency and by the claims of duplicity leveled against the Nobel laureate Rigoberta Mench, and she explores how duplicity may in turn function as a survival strategy for some. Nelson examines suspicions that state power is also two-faced, from the left's fears of a clandestine para-state behind the democratic faade, to the right's conviction that NGOs threaten Guatemalan sovereignty. Her comparison of antimalaria and antisubversive campaigns suggests biopolitical ways that the state is two-faced, simultaneously giving and taking life. Reckoning is a view from the ground up of how Guatemalans are finding creative ways forward, turning ledger books, technoscience, and even gory horror movies into tools for making sense of violence, loss, and the future.
The Reckoning: Our Nation's Trauma And Finding A Way To Heal
by Mary L. TrumpFrom the number-one best-selling author of Too Much and Never Enough: A diagnosis of America's national trauma, and a way to heal. The Reckoning will examine America’s national trauma, rooted in our history but dramatically exacerbated by the impact of current events and the Trump administration’s corrupt and immoral policies. Our failure to acknowledge this trauma, let alone root it out, has allowed it to metastasize. Whether it manifests itself in rising levels of rage and hatred, or hopelessness and apathy, the stress of living in a country we no longer recognize has affected all of us. America is suffering from PTSD - a new leader alone cannot fix us. An enormous amount of healing must be done to rebuild our faith in leadership, and our hope for this nation. It starts with The Reckoning.
