Gesellschaftliche Dominanzverhältnisse fordern die Pädagogik heraus und konfrontieren sie mit der Gefahr ihrer Reproduktion. In theoretischen und empirischen Studien untersucht Christine Riegel Prozesse des Othering und deren Folgen für Bildungsprozesse: Inwiefern kommt es in Schule und Jugendarbeit zu Othering? In welcher Weise ist darin auch diskriminierungskritische Bildungsarbeit involviert? Und welche Widersprüche und Potenziale für Veränderung zeigen sich in der pädagogischen Auseinandersetzung mit Differenz und Ungleichheit? Dabei diskutiert sie Intersektionalität als Analyse- und Reflexionsperspektive für Forschung und pädagogische Praxis in widersprüchlichen Verhältnissen. »Weil Riegel ihre Fragestellungen mit dem Fokus auf die Praxis heraus entwickelt, kann sie [...] in sprachlich verständlicher Form zeigen, wie grundlegend die Intersektionalität als Reflexions- und Analyseperspektive ist, um tradierte Sichtweisen auf pädagogisches Denken und Handeln zu verändern.« Torsten Mergen, www.querelles.net, 18/4 (2017) »Die Lektüre bietet motivierende Impulse für Weiterbildung und Praxis einer diversitätsbewussten Bildung.« Klaus Waldmann, Außerschulische Bildung, 2 (2017) »Das Buch leistet einen überaus wichtigen Beitrag zur pädagogischen Auseinandersetzung mit Differenz bzw. Differenzierungsmechanismen. Es wird sehr deutlich, dass es keinesfalls um das Erlernen des richtigen oder angemessenen Umgangs mit Differenz, Vielfalt oder Heterogenität geht, sondern dass es einer grundlegenden Reflexion des Zusammenhangs von Bildung und Othering bedarf - und zwar im Forschungszusammenhang ebenso wie in der pädagogischen Praxis.« Anke Wischmann, Erziehungswissenschaftliche Revue, 16/3 (2017) »Das Buch [ist] nicht nur für den erziehungswissenschaftlichen Diskurs bedeutsam, sondern auch ein Muss für (angehende) pädagogische Fachkräfte, die sich der Herausforderung des pädagogischen Umgangs mit Differenz und Ungleichheit gegenübergestellt sehen, sowie für Bezugspersonen von Jugendlichen als Subjekte von Otheringprozessen im Bildungskontext.« Jule Bönkost, www.aric.de, 7 (2016) Besprochen in: IDA-NRW, 22/2 (2016) www.maecenata.eu, 3 (2016) Fachportal Pädagogik, 4 (2016) Zeitschrift Qualitiative Forschung, 18/2 (2017), Nicole von Langsdorff

Climate change has shifted from future menace to current event. As eco-conscious electricity consumers, we want to do our part in weening from fossil fuels, but what are we actually a part of? Committed environmentalists in one of North America’s most progressive regions desperately wanted energy policies that address the climate crisis. For many of them, wind turbines on Northern New England’s iconic ridgelines symbolize the energy transition that they have long hoped to see. For others, however, ridgeline wind takes on a very different meaning. When weighing its costs and benefits locally and globally, some wind opponents now see the graceful structures as symbols of corrupted energy politics. This book derives from several years of research to make sense of how wind turbines have so starkly split a community of environmentalists, as well as several communities. In doing so, it casts a critical light on the roadmap for energy transition that Northern New England’s ridgeline wind projects demarcate. It outlines how ridgeline wind conforms to antiquated social structures propping up corporate energy interests, to the detriment of the swift de-carbonizing and equitable transformation that climate predictions warrant. It suggests, therefore, that the energy transition of which most of us are a part, is probably not the transition we would have designed ourselves, if we had been asked.

How can we study globalisation in a way that transcends the material/ideational rift? How has globalisation resonated and/or dominated in different national contexts? What role has been played by national political economies and domestic institutions in this process?*Producing globalisation* attempts to scrutinise the nature of the interplay between globalisation and national institutional settings. Rather than taking globalisation as a given, this book explores how concrete political actors produced the phenomenon of globalisation. Such an approach aims to bring human agency and its importance

Boxing is infused with ideas about masculinity, power, race and social class, and as such is an ideal lens through which social scientists can examine key modern themes. In addition, its inherent contradictions of extreme violence and beauty and of discipline and excess have long been a source of inspiration for writers and film makers. Essential reading for anyone interested in the sociology of sport and cultural representations of gender, Boxing, Masculinity and Identity brings together ethnographic research with material from film, literature and journalism. Through this combination of theoretical insight and cultural awareness, Woodward explores the social constructs around boxing and our experience and understanding of central issues including: masculinity mind, body and the construction of identity spectacle and performance: tensions between the public and private person boxing on film: the role of cultural representations in building identities methodologies: issues of authenticity and ‘truth’ in social science.

The strategic-choice approach has a long pedigree in international relations. In an area often rent by competing methodologies, editors David A. Lake and Robert Powell take the best of accepted and contested knowledge among many theories. With the contributors to this volume, they offer a unifying perspective, which begins with a simple insight: students of international relations want to explain the choices actors make--whether these actors be states, parties, ethnic groups, companies, leaders, or individuals. This synthesis offers three new benefits: first, the strategic interaction of actors is the unit of analysis, rather than particular states or policies; second, these interactions are now usefully organized into analytic schemes, on which conceptual experiments may be based; and third, a set of methodological "bets" is then made about the most productive ways to analyze the interactions. Together, these elements allow the pragmatic application of theories that may apply to a myriad of particular cases, such as individuals protesting environmental degradation, governments seeking to control nuclear weapons, or the United Nations attempting to mobilize member states for international peacekeeping. Besides the editors, the six contributors to this book, all distinguished scholars of international relations, are Jeffry A. Frieden, James D. Morrow, Ronald Rogowski, Peter Gourevitch, Miles Kahler, and Arthur A. Stein. Their work is an invaluable introduction for scholars and students of international relations, economists, and government decision-makers.

During the Cold War, international trade closely paralleled the division of the world into two rival political-military blocs. NATO and GATT were two sides of one coin; the Warsaw Treaty Organization and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance were two sides of another. In this book Joanne Gowa examines the logic behind this linkage between alliances and trade and asks whether it applies not only after but also before World War II.

This book takes a powerful new approach to a question central to comparative politics and economics: Why do some leaders of fragile democracies attain political success when pursuing drastic, painful economic reforms while others see their political careers implode? Kurt Weyland examines the surprising willingness of presidents in four Latin American countries to enact daring reforms and the unexpected resultant popular support. He argues that only using the insights of prospect theory to understand how leaders understand the gains and losses from reform can one fully account for the twists and turns of politics and economic policy in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela during the 1980s and 1990s.
