    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - Political Systems - General and Comparisons, grade: 1,7, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: Samuel P. Huntington was born in 1927 and is at the moment director of the John- Olin Institute for strategic studies at the University of Harvard. He was the author of an article, first published in the Foreign Affairs magazine, which has, according to Russel, Oneal and Cox ( 2000, p.584) 'turned into one of the most influential recent books on international relations'. This article was called 'the Clash of Civilizations ' and afterwards was extended (in 1996) to his book, called 'The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the World Order'. This book was meant to be seen as a response to his highly polarising and provocative article mentioned above. In it, he tries to give answers to the questions which arose from his article and tries to clarify his standpoints and claims to underpin his thesis. Samuel P. Huntington has given new currency to the notion of a clash of civilizations. His 1993 article on the topic in Foreign Affairs and his book following this article has gained a global audience.Huntington argues that the bipolar division of the world based on ideology is no longer relevant. The world was entering a new period of intense conflict among civilizations. He states: 'It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. The great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. Nation states will remain them most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.' (Huntington, 1993, p.22) In trying to understand the causes of actual events like the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States of America many authors have turned to Samuel P. Huntington's provocative and controversial thesis of a 'clash of civilizations'. In the following part of my essay I am going to comment on his main issues, presenting the main thesis and his general claims of his book and article, dealing with a possible 'clash of civilizations'.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 1,7, University of Münster, course: European Economic Policy Course, language: English, abstract: The fact that Finland is far away from the centres of European economic activities, for example the so-called blue banana, the Sunbelt and the Industrial axe, its relative economic success, especially in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) makes it so interesting to analyse what is so characteristic for the 'Finish-ICT Miracle', as Paija (2001) has called it. During the last decade, Finland has become one of the world's most successful technology-intensive countries, finding itself in the front rank of the world's digital economies. In a decade, Finland went from being one of the least information and communication technologies specialized countries to become the single most specialized one. 'Currently the Finnish ICT sector, with Nokia as its locomotive, consists of some 6 thousand firms and accounts for approximately 10 percent of Finland's GDP' (Rouvinen & Antilla 2003, p.87) and therefore have put Finland on the map of global economies. Determining for this 'raise' of Finland is the development of a new growth path in this small Nordic country. Finland has managed to transform itself from a resource-based into a knowledge-based economy in a rather short period of time, especially without any major cutbacks in his highly developed welfare state system. The essential point of analysis in my essay deals with the question, how Finland managed to become one of the most successful ICT-countries in the world. How was it possible for this small Nordic country to go through a structural change from forestry to ICT Nowadays, 'about 6000 firms (mostly small and medium-sized) and 200 electronics manufacturing services companies make up the so called 'ICT cluster'. Some 350 of them are first-tier suppliers to Nokia, and represent the 'Nokia network'' (Daveri & Silva 2002, p.9).So I will start my analysis by defining structural change to create a basic which is necessary to understand the whole process. With the use of statistical data I will then try to explain Finland's way from forestry to ICT. A central aspect of the recent Finnish ICT-cluster is the importance of the mobile telecommunication industry with its driving engine, Nokia. This is analysed in part three. And finally of course, my essay ends up with a conclusion, summing up all the relevant information which is necessary to explain how Finland has turned into a knowledge-based economy.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Politik, politische Bildung, Note: 1,3, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 'Politik gehört nicht in der Hörsaal'1 so Max Weber in seinem Vortrag über 'Politik als Beruf' am 28. Januar 1919 an der Universität Wien. Jedoch sind Politik und Wissenschaft in einem hohen Maße voneinander abhängig. Heutzutage wird viel darüber diskutiert, wie und wo man qualifizierten Politikernachwuchs rekrutieren kann und wo eben dieser bestmöglich ausgebildet wird. In Zeiten hoher Politikverdrossenheit und immer stärker werdender Kritik an den aktuellen politischen Führungspersönlichkeiten ist es sicherlich interessant zu erfahren, welche Qualitäten ein Berufspolitiker laut Weber und Weizsäcker mitbringen muss und wie sein Verhältnis von Ethik zu Politik zu beurteilen ist. In seinem Werk schreibt Weber über die Grundvoraussetzungen, die benötigt werden, um sein Leben dem Beruf der Politik widmen zu können. Warum wird man Politiker In wie weit beeinflusst der Wille und die Motivation den Wunsch, Politik zu betreiben. Und was ist eigentlich Politik Webers klassischer Vortrag versucht, auf möglichst viele dieser 'Sinnfragen' einzugehen und diese zu erläutern. Auf der anderen Seite ist es natürlich interessant, neben einem klassisches Werk einer prägenden Figur wie die des Max Webers auch modernere, zeitbezogenere Ansichten eines gestandenen und erfahrenen Politikers zu analysieren, der die heutige Zeit und die aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Politik berücksichtigt. Hierzu habe ich einen Artikel vom ehemaligen Bundespräsidenten Richard von Weizsäcker gewählt. In seiner Essay 'Standhalten, wo man weglaufen will' schreibt auch er über Grundvoraussetzungen für Menschen, die sich der Politik als Beruf verschrieben haben.[.]1 Vgl.: Weber, Max: Politik als Beruf. Reclam. 2002. S. 13.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 1,7, University of Münster, course: European Economic Policy Course, language: English, abstract: The fact that Finland is far away from the centres of European economic activities, for example the so-called blue banana, the Sunbelt and the Industrial axe, its relative economic success, especially in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) makes it so interesting to analyse what is so characteristic for the ¿Finish-ICT Miracle¿, as Paija (2001) has called it. During the last decade, Finland has become one of the world¿s most successful technology-intensive countries, finding itself in the front rank of the world¿s digital economies. In a decade, Finland went from being one of the least information and communication technologies specialized countries to become the single most specialized one. ¿Currently the Finnish ICT sector, with Nokia as its locomotive, consists of some 6 thousand firms and accounts for approximately 10 percent of Finland¿s GDP¿ (Rouvinen & Antilla 2003, p.87) and therefore have put Finland on the map of global economies. Determining for this ¿raise¿ of Finland is the development of a new growth path in this small Nordic country. Finland has managed to transform itself from a resource-based into a knowledge-based economy in a rather short period of time, especially without any major cutbacks in his highly developed welfare state system. The essential point of analysis in my essay deals with the question, how Finland managed to become one of the most successful ICT-countries in the world. How was it possible for this small Nordic country to go through a structural change from forestry to ICT Nowadays, ¿about 6000 firms (mostly small and medium-sized) and 200 electronics manufacturing services companies make up the so called ¿ICT cluster¿. Some 350 of them are first-tier suppliers to Nokia, and represent the ¿Nokia network¿¿ (Daveri & Silva 2002, p.9).So I will start my analysis by defining structural change to create a basic which is necessary to understand the whole process. With the use of statistical data I will then try to explain Finland¿s way from forestry to ICT. A central aspect of the recent Finnish ICT-cluster is the importance of the mobile telecommunication industry with its driving engine, Nokia. This is analysed in part three. And finally of course, my essay ends up with a conclusion, summing up all the relevant information which is necessary to explain how Finland has turned into a knowledge-based economy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Politik, politische Bildung, Note: 1,3, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: ¿Politik gehört nicht in der Hörsaal¿1 so Max Weber in seinem Vortrag über ¿Politik als Beruf¿ am 28. Januar 1919 an der Universität Wien. Jedoch sind Politik und Wissenschaft in einem hohen Maße voneinander abhängig. Heutzutage wird viel darüber diskutiert, wie und wo man qualifizierten Politikernachwuchs rekrutieren kann und wo eben dieser bestmöglich ausgebildet wird. In Zeiten hoher Politikverdrossenheit und immer stärker werdender Kritik an den aktuellen politischen Führungspersönlichkeiten ist es sicherlich interessant zu erfahren, welche Qualitäten ein Berufspolitiker laut Weber und Weizsäcker mitbringen muss und wie sein Verhältnis von Ethik zu Politik zu beurteilen ist.In seinem Werk schreibt Weber über die Grundvoraussetzungen, die benötigt werden, um sein Leben dem Beruf der Politik widmen zu können. Warum wird man Politiker In wie weit beeinflusst der Wille und die Motivation den Wunsch, Politik zu betreiben. Und was ist eigentlich Politik Webers klassischer Vortrag versucht, auf möglichst viele dieser ¿Sinnfragen¿ einzugehen und diese zu erläutern. Auf der anderen Seite ist es natürlich interessant, neben einem klassisches Werk einer prägenden Figur wie die des Max Webers auch modernere, zeitbezogenere Ansichten eines gestandenen und erfahrenen Politikers zu analysieren, der die heutige Zeit und die aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Politik berücksichtigt. Hierzu habe ich einen Artikel vom ehemaligen Bundespräsidenten Richard von Weizsäcker gewählt. In seiner Essay ¿Standhalten, wo man weglaufen will¿ schreibt auch er über Grundvoraussetzungen für Menschen, die sich der Politik als Beruf verschrieben haben.[.]1 Vgl.: Weber, Max: Politik als Beruf.
