The Ethics of Inclusive Education clarifies the idea of inclusion and its normative content, and presents a coherent theoretical framework for inclusion and inclusive education. It serves as one of the first extended philosophical defenses in the field of inclusive education that goes beyond a simple assertion of educational value. Integrating perspectives from the history, sociology and psychology of inclusive education, this book develops a holistic concept of inclusion, while clearly and systematically examining the ethical-normative content of inclusive education. It also offers: an interdisciplinary analysis of inclusion and inclusive schooling, ranging from historical to sociological analysis of their predecessors and preconditions, to the investigation of their philosophical and educational content, an in-depth analysis of the moral significance of exclusion, the value of inclusion and inclusive education from an analytical point of view, and practice-oriented investigations of the individual and social conditions for inclusion and inclusive education. The Ethics of Inclusive Education serves researchers, practitioners and politicians, to make key educational decisions about how to understand, explore or realize inclusive educational aims, especially with respect to disability and special needs.
Innovation is ubiquitous and has become a universal term that is indispensable to describe interventions, projects, or products. Franziska Sörgel argues that emotions influence innovations as they are inherent in initial ideas, expectations and habitual evaluation criteria that impact the development process. Instead of assuming that the innovation process is subject to rational and linear creativity, the study adopts the notion of ›moral economies‹ by Lorraine Daston as a space for negotiation. Such an approach enables decision-makers to question the evaluation criteria and patterns for technological developments before implementing them in society.
Festivals are an important part of the music event industry, especially for young adults. But compared to the beginnings, their meanings have changed: Attendees want to celebrate without any compromises. However, today mankind is confronted with the greatest sustainability challenges, which are not satisfactorily tackled. Still, with a rising awareness of these issues, companies’ interest in including sustainability issues in their communications strategy has increased. This study attempts to explore how a Sustainability Communication (SC) concept needs to be designed to reach fans of music festivals and influence them towards a more sustainable behaviour. For that purpose, it deals with sustainability management, background information about SC and the attendees’ needs. Moreover, it shows rays of hope for this issue in the festival landscape. Afterwards the results of a survey conducted among festival fans (more than 750 participants), examining their attitude regarding sustainability issues, were assessed. This study aims to equip the reader with a thorough knowledge of the potential of Sustainability Communication within and through festivals, as well as give an insight into how a SC strategy must consider the needs of fans to realize a more sustainable event.
Franziska König examines the anatomy of uncertainty-governance choice relationships from different theoretical angles, including transaction costs economics, resource-based theory, and real options theory. The book provides, furthermore, comprehensive empirical insights both from secondary data examined with a “vote-counting” analysis as well as from primary data, collected through a “policy-capturing” study.

Öffentliche Bibliotheken leiden besonders unter finanziellen Engpässen. Deshalb sollen Projektförderung und neue Finanzierungswege zusätzliche Aktivitäten finanzieren. Theoretische Überlegungen, Interviews mit Bibliothekaren und eine Auflistung allgemeiner Voraussetzungen und Empfehlungen bieten Hilfen bei der Suche nach neuen Förderungen und zusätzlichen Mitteln zum Jahresetat.
Hat utopisches Denken einen Platz in der Ökonomik? In welchem Verhältnis stehen utopische Entwürfe in der Kunst und wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Theoriebildung? Ökonomische Utopien untersucht die spezifische Rolle ökonomischer Theorie und Praxis im utopischen Diskurs der Moderne – und umgekehrt: die Spuren utopischen Denkens in der Ökonomik seit Beginn einer im modernen Sinn als kapitalistisch zu bezeichnenden Wirtschaftsweise. Wie facettenreich die Beziehungen zwischen Utopie und Ökonomie tatsächlich sind, zeigt das breite thematische Spektrum, das von den Autorinnen und Autoren aus Kultur-, Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften verhandelt wird: Es reicht von anarchokommunistischen Öko-Utopien der Gegenwartsliteratur bis zu Maschinenmenschen in der Malerei, von ökonomisch-utopischen Diskursen in der Populärkultur bis zu den Ideen des kybernetischen Sozialismus, von der philosophischen Reflexion des Glücksspiels als inner- und gegenkapitalistische Utopie bis hin zur Diskussion utopischer Dimensionen heutiger neoklassischer Wirtschaftstheorie. Die Beiträge zeigen, wie pragmatische und normative Motivationen bei der Entwicklung alternativer Wirtschaftsentwürfe ineinander greifen und dass es sich bei ökonomischen Utopien auch um lokale, individuelle, momentane Strategien handeln kann, die der durch Rationalität und Lohnarbeit gekennzeichneten Realität alternative Lebensentwürfe entgegenhalten.
