The Invisible Hand of Power

An Economic Theory of Gate Keeping

By: Anton N Oleinik

This is an innovative study of the techniques of domination, based on financial markets, judicial systems, academia and international relations, across North America and post-Soviet Russia. Ultimately, Oleinik seeks to provide an alternative to mainstream economic analyses of power.

Building Ukraine from Within

A Sociological, Institutional, and Economic Analysis of a Nation-State in the Making

By: Anton Oleinik

Ukraine drew significant media attention after the 2013-2014 Revolution of Dignity and the subsequent undeclared war waged by Russia. However, the nature of these events and their impact on the social, economic, and political development of this country remain understudied and hence often misunderstood. Building Ukraine from Within offers an inside look at the recent developments in Ukraine and poses the question of whether transition from externally to internally driven development is possible in this case. Anton Oleinik argues that Ukraine is currently going through a revolutionary period aimed at building a nation-state and its aftermath. Ukraine is a latecomer in this process, especially compared with most other European countries. Its outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. It is yet to be seen if a current surge in volunteerism and bottom-up civic initiatives will lead to the emergence of a viable and sustainable national democratic system in this country.

Knowledge and Networking

On Communication in the Social Sciences

By: Anton N. Oleinik

Success and career growth in academic life depend upon reaching and influencing the widest audience possible. To do so, scientists strive to develop personalized trust. They do so by establishing a large number of connections through networking and also through the strength of their arguments and the validity and reliability of their research. To secure increasingly rare tenure positions and achieve salary increases, promotions, and recognition, scholars place themselves on a continuum of priorities ranging from total emphasis on networking to complete focus on advancing knowledge, trying to find some middle ground between the two extremes. Anton Oleinik argues that when scholars prioritize networking, science reproduces features of a "small world," in which personal connections prevail. Who knows whom matters more than who knows what. In this scenario, one's status derives more from affiliation with a specific group of scholars or a particular university than from contributing to advancing knowledge. Acknowledging that it would be a mistake to consider networking the main source of evils in science, Oleinik instead criticizes the decisions scholars make while struggling to find that middle ground between networking and advancing knowledge, and managing conflicts between these priorities. The fierce competition for increasingly scarce research funds, and the difficulty of finding jobs in academia underlines the growing importance of the choices made by an academic. Though Oleinik focuses particularly on the social sciences, his ideas are just as relevant to other disciplinary areas.

B Boron Compounds

4th Supplement, Boron and Nitrogen

By: Anton Meller

The present issue, Volume 3a of "Boron Compounds" 4th Supplement of the Gmelin Hand book, presents the description of boron nitride and a part of other boron compounds containing nitrogen. Volume 3 b (to be published Later) will complete the presentation of the boron-nitrogen compounds and will also cover boron compounds containing fluorine. Due to technical circumstances, Volume 1 (systems with hydrogen) and Volume 2 (systems with oxygen) of this particular supplement will be published subsequently, whereas Volume 4 (boron compounds containing CL, Br, I, S, Se, and Te, as well as a section containing carboranes) has already been published. ALL volumes of the 4th Supplement will be augmented by a formula index. The IUPAC nomenclature is generally adhered to; occasional abbreviations for compounds are explained in the text. A positive sign for the chemical shifts of the NMR signals indicates a 1 13 downfield shift from the references, usually internal (CH ) Si for 6 H and 6 C and external 3 4 11 (C H h0-BF for 6 B, others being specified. 2 5 3 In contrast to more recent publications but remaining consistent with the previous volumes of the Boron Series, the iminoborane structure is written as B=N and not as B=N. In fact, the real electronic structure is more realistically symbolized by B=N, but it seems reasonable to avoid =NR in accordance with the commonly accepted "iminoborane" nomenclature.

Boron and Nitrogen, Boron and Fluorine

By: Anton Meller

This volume, part 3 of the third supplement, continues the updating of the previous volumes on boron compounds: "Boron Compounds" Vols. 1 - 20, "Boron" 1st Suppl. Vol. 1 - 3 (1980/81), "Boron" 2nd Suppl. vols. 1 + 2 (1980/83). This volume deals with the compounds of boron with nitrogen and of boron with fluorine. The modifications of boron nitride are now important materials in modern technology. They have many applications, e.g. as fibers or coatings, in ceramics or alloys, as fillers in organic polymers, for machining of metals and as solid lubricants. They are used in the preparation of semiconductors and in laser nuclear technology. In the chapter on L-triorganyl-N-triorganylborazines, (-Br-Nr-)3, the compound (-B(i-C3H7)-N(t-C4H9)-)3 is the first species having a Dewar-borazine structure, which contains a 1,4 bond and two parallel double bonds in the 6-ring system. Trifluoroborane, BF3, and also its adduct with ether, is important especially in catalytic applications. Among tetra-fluoroborates ÄNOÜ ÄBF4Ü, ÄNO2Ü ÄBF4Ü and ÄNF4Ü ÄBF4Ü are also described. The systems with C1, Br and J with chalcogenes, and finally the carboranes, are contained in the final 4th volume of this series. Volume 4 will also include a formula index for volumes 1 to 4.

Organized Crime, Prison and Post-Soviet Societies

By: Alain Touraine,Anton Oleinik

This title was first published in 2003. The "Red Mafia" in Russia have become the subject of increasing international interest and considerable misinterpretation. After well-received editions in Russian, French and Italian, Anton Oleinik's study of Russian prisons, in which he explores the social roots of organized crime in post-Soviet societies, is now published in English. This English edition includes a postscript on the Moscow terrorist crisis of 2002. Oleinik's analysis reveals prison society as a mirror of broader Russian society - characterized by the absence of the state as an organizer of social practices. He builds on this to make a central distinction between two types of societies - the modern "large" society and the "small" society, like Russia, that has only been partially modernized, and in which the world of everyday life, experiences and relationships remains entirely separated from the official aims of modernization and efficiency. Oleinik is interested in the void between these two separate worlds, a void he sees being filled in Russia by the Mafia.
