Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 1,0, University of Toronto (Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy), language: English, abstract: Goal 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is all about safe, resilient and sustainable cities. In this essay, I will identify and map the key actors that have a crucial influence in achieving movement on the Goal. Therefore, I will start in section two with a short introduction to the goal itself and the specific characteristics that determine which actors are relevant for it. In the third section, I will build up a framework based on different literature to identify and map the most important actors for Goal 11. In the following fourth section, I will use these results to take a closer look at four key actors and their possible contributions, before I will end with a conclusion. Urbanization is one of the most important developments of human civilization in the 21st century. In the middle of the 20th century, 30 % of people lived in the urban centers of the world. Today, more than half of the world's population lives in cities, with an increase of up to 70 % expected by 2050. Cities are the main drivers of local and national economies and hubs of prosperity. More than 80 % of global economic activity is concentrated in cities. The speed and scale of urbanization, however, also pose enormous challenges. Widening income disparities, increasing ambient air pollution and aging infrastructure are only some of the signs that today's cities are struggling to keep pace with the growing number of urban dwellers and their dreams for a prosperous future.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 1,0, University of Toronto (Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy), language: English, abstract: In the last three decades, the notion of sustainability became, although it is not a new idea, one of the most used concepts in scientific, political, and societal debates. [.] Today, sustainability is used very diversely and to describe very different things, diluting the concept to a synonym for everything that is good and is used as a quasi-objective alternative to a subjective value judgment about what someone perceives as good or right. The term has been misused and abused, when companies such as ExxonMobil, Lockheed Martin or Philip Morris describe their oil, tobacco or weapons business as sustainable and McDonald's Canada advertises sustainable beef (Károly, 2011). Nevertheless, it is used for the most ambitious human development ideas such as the Agenda 2030 of the United Nations. This ambiguity and vagueness is facilitated by the two-fold nature of the term, as a positive scientific concept and a normative vision for the future of humankind.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Sociology - Economy and Industry, grade: 1,0, Hertie School of Governance, language: English, abstract: With having in mind the effect of high- and low-skilled migration for economic prosperity, this study empirically tests with immigration data from 20 countries from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) from 1985 to 2010 the effect of inequality in a receiving country on high- and low-skilled migration to this country, so that the research question that this study seeks to answer is: Does economic inequality influence the immigration of high- and low-skilled individuals In the broad context of the study of economic inequality within societies, one of the most prominent topics is the relationship between inequality and economic prosperity of a country, which is studied by many authors such as Kenworthy (2003) or Wren (2013). With this study, I want to contribute to this research by focusing on one possible mechanism within the inequality-economic prosperity relationship, namely migration. Attracting and retaining highly qualified people is crucial to the development of a knowledge-based economy in which ideas and innovation drive technological and social progress. Moreover, the perception and acceptance of immigration within a society are largely shaped by the skill level of immigrants.Understanding how high-skilled people and in contrast, how low-skilled people choose their country of destination when migrating is, therefore, crucial - for sending and receiving countries alike. Migration and especially cross-border migration is a highly complex topic and the individual decision to migrate is influenced by a multitude of drivers. However, when looking at the differences between high- and low-skilled migrations, economic drivers are especially important, because more than for other drivers such as political or social drivers they affect high- and low-skilled people differently.Assuming that migration is at least partly determined by the desire to realize economic opportunities abroad and assuming that high-skilled migrants should benefit from the opportunities in less equal destination countries, while low-skilled migrants should benefit from a compressed wage distribution in more equal destination countries, a stream of literature, building on Borjas (1987), studies the relationship between inequality in sending and receiving countries and the consequences for high- and low-skilled migration.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Biology - Evolution, grade: 1,3, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) (ZAK | Zentrum für Angewandte Kulturwissenschaft), course: Visual Communication and Culture, language: English, abstract: Today, in our fast moving, computer-driven lives we are exposed to a myriad of sensations every second and not only from the environment or nature around us but also from ceaseless attacks through our modern media, that is mostly based on visual stimulation. So the topic of perception is, although it has been dealt with throughout the centuries from the stoic philosophy of the Greeks to modern neurologists, a highly current one that affects us all and every day in an unprecedented way.Not least as a popular American crime drama television series with the title 'Perception', where an eccentric neuropsychiatrist uses his unique perception abilities to solve complex criminal cases and a modern theatre play 'Molly Sweeney' by Brian Friel, on stage at the moment at Theater Lindenhof in Melchingen, Germany, where the protagonist, a young woman, regained her eyesight through an operation and could not cope with the overwhelming sensations, show the current fascination of the topic.In the following chapters I will draw attention to the basic principles of perception, especially visual perception as well as the evolution, concept and the functioning of our eyes to come to a better understanding of how we see things and the way our visual perception works.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.3, ESCP Europe, course: Philosophy of Science, language: English, abstract: This coursework aims to present critical rationalism and its great thinker Karl Popper as well as Hans Albert. However, this coursework place greater emphasis on Karl Popper as the founder of this school of thought. As a result, the scientific and theoretical foundations of this important school of thought is presented as well as its introduction to Popper's and Albert's explanations. The major currents of epistemology, which were decisive for the development of critical rationalism, are presented right after the introduction, which is part of the second section. Section three starts with Popper's identification of the induction and demarcation problem. Based on the basic problems of induction and demarcation, section four starts to set out the emerging critical rationalism following by a detailed examination of the methodology according to Popper, his theory of falsification, and Hans Albert as an important German representative. Finally, section five contains a critical appraisal and a conclusion.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, , language: English, abstract: Among practitioners and scientific observers, it is widely believed that the global international order is in dire straits (Duncombe & Dunne 2018; Alexandroff 2017). There is much to suggest that the old, Western-dominated world order ended in the last years at the latest and will be replaced by a, in the words of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, 'post-West world order' (Stent 2018) whose contours are still too indeterminate to be able to characterize them unambiguously. Against this background, I pursue three main objectives in this review: In the second chapter, following the introduction, I will reflect on what is understood as global international order and why we need to look at it. The third chapter will give an overview of the old order and its development. Chapter four sketches trajectories of a newly emerging order with the help of two observable trends. In the fifth chapter I will finally focus on the impacts of the described changes in the world order on the process of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals from the Agenda 2030.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1,7, University of Kassel (Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre (IVWL)), course: Philosophy of Economics, language: English, abstract: The question I want to examine in this paper is if and how falsification as a method and Popper's philosophy of science in general is appropriate for and applicable to economic research. To begin with I will start with a short introduction about Karl Popper and his philosophy. Then I will explain and evaluate the concept of falsification with its strengths and weaknesses and its use for science in general. Afterwards I will examine the influence and actual usage of falsification in economics in general to finally evaluate the chances and limits of the concept in this area of science.It is often said that a significant characteristic of economic research is the strong staying power of theories, even with contradicting empirical evidence. Moreover, the scientific character of economic science is often questioned. In this context economic research is criticised for a lack of falsification or even a lack of falsifiability. But is it true and what does this mean The concept of falsification as a deductive method was brought up and made popular by the Austro-British philosopher Karl Popper in the 1930s. In contrast to the idea of gaining truth or principles through a lot of empiric observations (inductive method), he claimed that it is logically only possible to refute general statements by empirical observations. Consequently, Popper advocates for a method of research through trial and error. Science should use the method of falsification and for him the use of it is the demarcation criterion between science and non-science. Karl Popper's methodological writings have been a cause of debate since the 1930s.This scientific method is nowadays established particularly in natural sciences where you can tell more easily if a theory is wrong than in other disciplines. Economic research is part of the second group of disciplines, where we often find huge differences between Popper's prescriptions and the common practice and where normative statements are often part of all considerations.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.3, ESCP Europe, language: English, abstract: This coursework aims to present behavioural science approaches as part of the research programmes course. The coursework places greater emphasis on the research discipline of sustainable marketing and audit. The detailed presentation of the overall behavioural approach with its numerous junctions is presented right after the introduction, which is part of the second section. Sections three and four outlines a brief summary, an analysis of the behavioural scientific approach, the applied research method and findings as well as a critical evaluation of the performed behavioural approach of both the sustainable marketing and audit paper. Section five aggregate the critical appraisal of both behavioural science approaches that are given in section three and four and place them into relationship to the overall behavioural approach. Finally, section six contains the conclusion.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1,0, Hertie School of Governance, language: English, abstract: At a time at which the persistent socio-economic crisis is increasingly perceived as a systemic, multiple crisis rather than a cyclical one and at which the traditional economic models are called into question, there is a need to develop new models that respond better to the demands of today's world by promoting a way of fair and sustainable development. This has led to the resurgence of old and the emergence of new alternative streams of thought that contrast the traditional neoclassical paradigm. However, despite the flourishing critical debate over the current form of capitalism and its underlying economic assumptions, concrete alternative economic models are hard to find.The Economy of the Common Good (ECG), born in Vienna in October of 2010 as a movement of social innovation, is an expression of such a new economic model that places people and the functioning of their relations at the heart of economic activity. Unlike most movements that advocate for a change in the economic system, the ECG does not only have a vague idea of what is going wrong in the current capitalist system but presents a detailed alternative system, that is open for debate. Moreover, besides being an interesting utopia, a still small but growing number of initiatives, individuals, firms, and (local) governments all over the world commit themselves to the ECG and adjust their economic behavior, so that the ECG has also very concrete impacts.Both, the concrete nature of the propositions as well the happening change at the ground, make the ECG open for attack and lead to the ideas being highly contested. In contrast to most critical social movements that coexist with the orthodox mainstream, the ECG has caused a lot of criticism and resistance from economists and economic interest groups. Since today, the debate is conducted in a polemic and non-scientific way and neither the ECG nor its opponents put their position in a theoretical context, although implicitly drawing on existing ideas of economic philosophy. The debate reveals the often blurred clash of paradigms and normative principles about the governance of the economy within the capitalist society. This paper seeks to exemplify and evaluate this clash with the debate on the ECG and answer the question: How are the different positions of proponents and critics of the ECG-propositions on the governance of the economy informed and driven by economic paradigms.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften - Europa, Note: 1,0, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) (ZAK | Zentrum für Angewandte Kulturwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Multikulturalität in Deutschland und in Europa, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Jahr für Jahr schmücken sich Städte in Europa mit dem prestigeträchtigen Titel 'Kulturhauptstadt'. Auch wenn sie als solche, obwohl der Begriff Hauptstadt das suggeriert, keine besonderen Aufgaben oder Rechte haben, so scheint der Titel doch jedes Mal Millionen Besucher in die jeweilige Stadt zu locken.Auch werden den meisten Menschen in Europa spontan mindestens eine oder zwei aktuelle oder ehemalige Kulturhauptstädte einfallen, während Wissen über andere europäische Kulturprojekte kaum vorhanden ist. Die Kulturhauptstädte bilden zumindest in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung die Speerspitze der Kulturpolitik in Europa. Nach der Ernennung einer Stadt findet stets ein umtriebiger Prozess der Umsetzung der Idee Kulturhauptstadt in der jeweiligen Stadt statt. Gigantischer Aufwand wird betrieben, um der Auszeichnung gerecht zu werden und das Bestmögliche daraus zu machen. Jedoch findet hierbei, genauso wie bei den dann folgenden Besuchermassen, die primär wegen der Umsetzung kommen, oft wenig Reflexion über die Geschichte und den Kontext dieses Konzepts statt.Was ist dieses Projekt aber noch außer einem schönen Marketinginstrument für die Tourismusbranche Kann es wirklich zur Förderung und Erhaltung der Kultur in Europa beitragen, die durch Globalisierung oder Projekte, wie dem geplanten Freihandelsabkommen zwischen den USA und Europa, heute gefährdeter denn je scheint Ist es überhaupt sinnvoll, in Zeiten unserer globalisierten Welt ein regional beschränktes Projekt zur Förderung regionaler Kultur zu forcieren Die Idee und die Geschichte dieses besonderen europäischen Kulturprojekts näher zu betrachten und einen Blick insbesondere auf die Vielfalt der Wirkungen und die Nachhaltigkeit dieser Effekte zu wagen, ist Ziel dieser Seminararbeit.
