Bücher von Peter Herrmann

Among the main contributions of this work is the sharpness in the use of the author's knowledge in different disciplines particularly in Economics, Sociology, Social Policy and Law. As well as his academic audacity in resorting to a great ample baggage of sources both of current political conjuncture citing digital media as well as of return to the classics of Economy and Law, pleasant historical narratives and even of literary novels. As well as the use of recent publications identifying clear and provocative ideas of a path dependency and the "development of underdevelopment" for those who are willing to understand the connection between social space and social time of the global village.(From the foreword by Dr. Lorena Ossio, LLM; Coordinator of the Research Group "Understanding Southern Welfare"; Center for Interdisciplinary Research at Bielefeld University).THE AUTHOR:Peter Herrmann is renowned Social Philosopher, whose work hugely gains from his experience gained from having worked across different disciplines and across the globe. Though any attempt of classifying his work is in danger of simplification, his experience reaches from eg. the analysis of organisations and consultancy work to methodological conceptualisations of global societal policies.His work gained from teaching, research and various involvements in policy processes, especially in connection with EU-developments (social policy, service industries). CONTENT:Migration between value and poverty chainsHuman Rights - Every Day's Rights or: The Search for a Fourth Generation

Die Organisation ist seit langen Zeiten offensichtlich eine zentrale Bezugsgröße des menschlichen Handelns. Dies geht soweit, dass sogar ihrem Fehlen ein festen Organisations-Begriff zugeordnet ist, eben Desorganisation. Die nun in der unveränderten Wiederauflage vorgelegte Schrift "Die Organisation. Eine Analyse der modernen Gesellschaft" macht in der Verbindung eines hohen Abstraktionsniveaus mit der Ausrichtung auf ein konkretes Organisationssoziotop deutlich, dass es eine vereinfachte Ausflucht ist, wenn man sich auf eine Verselbständigungsthese zurückzieht. Brillant wird mit einem hohen Ausweis soziologischer und philosophischer Denkweite das Zusammenspiel von individualisierender Gesellschaft und gesellschaftlichem Individualismugezeigt gezeigt. Ausweitungen systemtheoretischer Abstraktion und historisch-dialektischer Konkretheit zeigen schon die Anlage der späteren Entwicklung des Sozialphilosophen, für den Interdisziplinarität immer auch etwas Gegen-Disziplin bedeutet.Peter Herrmann, Sozialphilosoph deutschen Ursprungs und globalen Weitergehens. Er arbeitet(e) in verschiedenen Ländern und Kontinenten und ist einer der führenden Akademiker des Ansatzes soziale Qualität, den er aber kritisch weiterzuentwickelnd trachtet. Sein Kernanliegen ist es, einer klaren politisch-ökonomischen Orientierung den Weg zu bereiten, bei der es um die Kritik des Bestehenden und ebenso um die Vorstellung von Alternativen geht.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Trust Management, held in Paris, France, during 23-26 May 2005. The conf- ence follows successful International Conferences in Crete in 2003 and Oxford in 2004. All conferences were organized by iTrust, which is a working group funded as a thematic network by the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) unit of the Information Society Technologies (IST) program of the European Union. The purpose of the iTrust working group is to provide a forum for cro- disciplinary investigation of the applications of trust as a means of increasing security, building con?dence and facilitating collaboration in dynamic open s- tems. The notion of trust has been studied independently by di?erent academic disciplines, which has helped us to identify and understand di?erent aspects of trust. Theaimofthisconferencewastoprovideacommonforum,bringingtogether researchers from di?erent academic branches, such as the technology-oriented disciplines, law, social sciences and philosophy, in order to develop a deeper and more fundamental understanding of the issues and challenges in the area of trust management in dynamic open systems. The response to this conference was excellent; from the 71 papers submitted to the conference, we selected 21 full papers and 4 short papers for presentation. The program also included two keynote addresses, given by Steve Marsh from National Research Centre Canada, Institute for Information Technology, and Steve Kimbrough from the University of Pennsylvania; an industrial panel; 7 technology demonstrations; and a full day of tutorials.

Der Band versammelt Beitrage von Peter Herrmann, einem der international fuhrenden Epigraphiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die zum Teil an entlegenen Orten erstveroffentlichten kleinen Schriften sind vor allem den Forschungsschwerpunkten Herrmanns, dem antiken Kleinasien, und hier in groerer Zahl den epigraphischen Zeugnissen Lydiens und Milets, gewidmet und geben Einblick in alle Aspekte des griechisch-romischen Alltags.

The book provides a critical contribution, looking at the development of social ad health services. Though discussing also contemporary issues, the focus is a more fundamental critique, dismantling the ideological questions that are behind these developments, standing in the context of the critique of capitalism and modernisation. In addition, one contribution looks in particular at the development of human resources in the UK and in another contribution an analysis of empirical data is provided - it looks at the perspective from EU-NGOs active in the sector of social service provision. The book concludes with a contribution compiled by an informal network of various EU-NGOs, looking in an exemplary way at difficulties faced by the recent developments of marketisation and liberalisation.
