Fortuine
’n Ongekende opkoms van Afrikaner-magnate het die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie die afgelope drie dekades gekenmerk. Dit is veral merkwaardig in die lig van die regering se omvattende program van swart ekonomiese bemagtiging. Vandag ding talle van hulle internasionaal mee. Onder leiding van Koos Bekker het Naspers die Johannesburgse aandelebeurs begin domineer en is die mediagroep omvorm tot ’n internasionale beleggingshouergroep wat op e-handel en die internet fokus. Johann Rupert het Richemont in die naasgrootste groep in die mark vir luukse goedere gevestig, terwyl Christo Wiese en Whitey Basson onderskeidelik Pepkor en Shoprite tot Afrika se grootste kleinhandelgroepe in klerasie en voedsel uitgebou het. Fortuine verduidelik hoe hierdie en ander sakeleiers, waaronder Jannie Mouton, Michiel le Roux, GT Ferreira, Laurie Dippenaar, Roelof Botha, Hendrik du Toit en ’n aantal megaboere, hul sakeryke tot stand gebring het. Dit beskryf hul lewens- en sakefilosofieë en wat van hulle sulke suksesvolle entrepreneurs maak. In onlangse tye het die ineenstorting van Steinhoff Internasionaal, die meubelhandelaar met Markus Jooste aan die stuur, ’n groot hap uit sommige van hierdie fortuine geneem. Jooste is die fokus van een van die hoofstukke, terwyl dit in ’n ander op die filantropiese projekte van hierdie superrykes val.

Universal Semantic Syntax
Syntactic theory has been dominated in the last decades by theories that disregard semantics in their approach to syntax. Presenting a truly semantic approach to syntax, this book takes as its primary starting point the idea that syntax deals with the relations between meanings expressed by form-meaning elements and that the same types of relations can be found cross-linguistically. The theory provides a way to formalize the syntactic relations between meanings so that each fragment of grammar can be analyzed in a clear-cut way. A comprehensive introduction into the theoretical concepts of the theory is provided, with analyzes of numerous examples in English and various other languages, European and non-European, to illustrate the concepts. The theory discussed will enable linguists to look for similarities between languages, while at the same time acknowledging important language specific features.

Dutch Contributions to the Fifteenth International Congress of Slavists
This volume, Dutch Contributions to the Fifteenth International Congress of Slavists (Minsk, 2013) presents a comprehensive overview of current Slavic linguistic research in the Netherlands, and covers its various linguistic disciplines (both synchronic and diachronic linguistics, language acquisition, history of linguistics) and subdomains (phonology, semantics, syntax, pragmatics, text).The different chapters in this peer-reviewed volume show the strong data-oriented tradition of Dutch linguistics and focus on various topics: the use of imperative subjects in birchbark letters (Dekker), the existential construction in Russian (Fortuin), Jakovlev’s formula for designing an alphabet with an optimal number of graphemes (Van Helden), frequency effects on the acquisition of Polish and Russian nominal flexion paradigms (Janssen), Macedonian verbal aspect (Kamphuis), the concept of ‘communicatively heterogeneous texts’ in connection with three birchbark letters from medieval Rus’ (Schaeken), a philological analysis of the authorship of some Cyrillic manuscripts (Veder), a reconstruction of the evolution of the Slavic system of obstruents: the motivation of mergers and the rise of dialect differences (Vermeer), and a contrastive analysis of Russian delat’ and Dutch doen (Honselaar and Podgaevskaja).With a well-known cast of contributors, this reference work will be of interest to researchers in both Slavic and general linguistics.

Politische Streitfragen
In diesem Buch geht es um den Streit über Kriegsgefahren und die Schuld an Kriegen und Massenmorden, aber auch um die Möglichkeiten gewaltfreier Politik. Thematisiert werden die Konflikte im Südchinesischen Meer, in Syrien und um eine Weltpolitik der USA und Russlands, die Kriege in Kauf nimmt. Der Brexit und die Flüchtlingsfrage stellen eine große Herausforderung für die Europäische Union dar. Bedingungen einer friedlichen Konfliktaustragung zwischen sprachlichen und ethnonationalen Gruppen werden an den Beispielen der Schweiz, Quebecs und Kataloniens erörtert.

Mind of the Nation
Völkerpsychologie played an important role in establishing the social sciences via the works of such scholars as Georg Simmel, Emile Durkheim, Ernest Renan, Franz Boas, and Werner Sombart. In Germany, the intellectual history of “folk psychology” was represented by Moritz Lazarus, Heymann Steinthal, Wilhelm Wundt and Willy Hellpach. This book follows the invention of the discipline in the nineteenth century, its rise around the turn of the century and its ultimate demise after the Second World War. In addition, it shows that despite the repudiation of “folk psychology” and its failed institutionalization, the discipline remains relevant as a precursor of contemporary studies of “national identity.”

Die Ostpolitik der BRD
Antikommunistische Ideologie soli hier definiert werden als herrschende Ideologie in doppel- tern Sinn: einerseits als Ausdruck dominanter gesellschaftlicher Interessen, andererseits als auch von den Beherrschten weitgehend akzeptiertes ErkHirungsmuster der gesellschaftlichen Realitat. Vgl. zu diesem Verstandnis Nicos Poulantzas, der zwischen der Ideologie der herr- schenden Klasse, Ideologien mit anderem Klasseninhalt - getragen von anderen gesellschaft- lichen Formationen - und der auch letztere Ideologien beherrschenden dominanten Ideo- logie unterscheidet. Pouvoir politique et classes sociales, Paris 1968, S. 223 ff. Allgemein soli Ideologie verstanden werden als "System der gesellschaftlichen ( . . . ) Anschauungen, die bestimmte Klasseninteressen zum Ausdruck bringen und entsprechende Verhaltensnor- men, Einstellungen und Wertungen einschliet1en". (Marxistisch-Leninistisches Worterbuch der Philosophie, hrsg. v. Georg Klaus u. Manfred Buhr, Hamburg 1972, S. 504. ) 2 Dysfunktionalitat sowohl irn Hinblick auf die Abwendung einer aut1enpolitischen Isolierung als auch im Hinblick auf die Wahrnehmung von okonomischen Interessen; vgl.

Politische Streitfragen
Politikwissenschaft sollte sich in den politischen Meinungsstreit in erster Linie durch sachkundige Analysen, aber auch durch prononcierte politische Stellungnahmen einmischen. In den vorliegenden Texten Egbert Jahns wird der zeitgeschichtliche Hintergrund einiger brisanter internationaler Streitfragen thematisiert, u. a. die ethnonationalen Konflikte auf dem Balkan, auf Zypern, in Belgien und in Georgien, im Irak und um Kurdistan sowie Militärinterventionen zum Schutze von Menschenrechten, etwa im Kosovo, in Libyen und in Darfur. Erörtert werden auch die Grenzen für eine zukünftige Erweiterung der Europäischen Union, die Zukunft der Demokratisierung Rußlands unter Putin und die Konfrontation Rußlands und der NATO im Südkaukasus. Weitere Themen sind die vermutete Nuklearrüstung Irans und der Umgang Pekings mit den Tibetern und Uiguren.

Politische Streitfragen
Demokratischer Streit braucht gute Argumente. Die Politikwissenschaft lehnt es jedoch häufig ab, sich am aktuellen demokratischen Meinungsstreit zu beteiligen. Das ist in diesem Band anders. Egbert Jahn zeigt, wie mit politikwissenschaftlichen Argumenten in aktuellen Streitfragen diskutiert werden kann.

Strategic alignment of innovation to business
"This book addresses the crucial question for innovative prospector companies of how to bridge the gap between exploration and exploitation. Whereas exploration deals with the search for new ideas and opportunities, exploitation is about incrementally moving the performance bar a little bit higher. Finding the right balance between exploration and exploitation is essential for the long term survival in today’s highly dynamic business environments.In a cross-industry study of ten large, multinational prospector companies, which are world leaders in their respective industries, it was discovered that the 'industry clockspeed', the length between the subsequent product generations, plays an essential role in bridging this gap. The product generation life cycle (PGLC) typically ranged from just several months in short life cycle industries (SLCIs), such as electronics and the mobile phone industry, to (more than) 10 years in long life cycle industries (LLCIs), such as aerospace and pharmaceutics. Our data indicate that companies operating in SLCIs face major problems in maintaining the long term knowledge base of their firms, whereas companies in LLCIs tend to have problems in aligning their innovation strategy to the short term business needs. To investigate the dynamics of strategic alignment, in one of the LLCI companies, a multinational supplier of industrial components, a six-year longitudinal study was conducted. Here our data indicate that finding a funding structure that effectively balances exploration and exploitation, combined with regular structured feedback between the exploration and exploitation function is needed to maintain long term strategic alignment.CTOs and innovation managers can use this book by first establishing the industry clockspeed(s) in their respective industries or product range(s) and then benchmark their innovation processes to those of the first class (SLCI or LLCI) prospector companies included in this book."

Die Zukunft des Friedens
Der Band präsentiert Diagnosen und die Strategien, wie sie gegenwärtig von den jüngeren Vertretern der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung diskutiert werden. Dabei ergeben sich unterschiedliche inhaltliche Kontroversen: Handelt es sich bei den so genannten neuen Kriegen tatsächlich um neue Phänomene? Die Antwort auf diese und viele andere Fragen fallen ebenso wie bereits bei der Gründergeneration der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung kontrovers aus. Der Band macht generationsspezifische Schwerpunkte der Themenwahl und Fragestellungen deutlich. Er demonstriert damit anschaulich, dass der Ausdifferenzierung von Problemfeldern und Wissenschaftslandschaft zum Trotz die Friedens- und Konfliktforschung mehr als nur das Projekt einer Generation ist.

German Domestic and Foreign Policy
This volume analyses current German domestic and foreign policy debates of international relevance. By reflecting their contemporary historical background and discussing the logic behind the different positions in a dispute, the author considers issues such as whether Muslim women should be allowed to wear headscarves, fears about immigration, the predominance of either a single national culture or multicultural pluralism and the admissibility of multiple citizenship. This book also sheds new light on the debate over the boundaries of freedom of expression, which was triggered by the so-called Danish “Mohammad cartoons.” Aspects of German foreign policy are addressed, including the debate on the ratification of a European constitutional treaty and of the Treaty of Lisbon, German attempts to obtain a permanent seat on the Security Council, as well as the question of whether the deployment of the German army in Afghanistan contributed to the defense of Germany. This book is of interest to students and scholars of political sciences, as well as to journalists and practitioners interested in an analysis of current political debates in Germany.
