Quantitative Growth or Authentic Witnessing to the Gospel?

Catholic Church in Nigeria and the Challenges of Religious Violence

THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse

This book argues that the Church as people of God, but most particularly, the Catholic Church, fulfils her mission as instrument of salvation when she proclaims the message of Christ to a people in their concrete existential situation. In carrying out this mission, the historical context, cultural and religious heritage, socio-economic reality and tribal differences of the people must never be ignored. Besides, the Church can only succeed in this mission when she…

Security – Threats, Law and Organization

Schriften zu Mittel- und Osteuropa in der Europäischen Integration

Security research shows the relationship between security and threats on the one hand and the law and organization on the other. In the context of relationships with the law, the point is primarily to determine whether and to what extent legal regulations allow authorities to counteract threats.

This becomes particularly evident when public safety is threatened, especially with regard to the devastating effects of forces of nature and the development of…

Toward Service-based Value Creation: The Role of Service Business Development in Manufacturing Companies

Schriftenreihe zum Business Development

Over the past decade, society has witnessed an increasing expansion of service economies as manufacturing (i.e., product-oriented) companies break free from their product-based business model and move toward more service-oriented value creation as a result of several economic, technological, and social changes. As they shift from products to (service) solutions, manufacturing companies pursue new strategic direction, inter alia, by extensively employing service business…

Hemingway and the Germans

Studien zur Anglistik und Amerikanistik

Germany was not at all Hemingway‘s first choice in Europe like Spain, Italy and France. But the country, its people and its culture played a special role in his life. He made several trips to German speaking countries, some as a reporter,some for long vacations. Here he learnt so much German that he could communicate with the people.

The Challenges to Catholic Higher Education in Germany

LEHRE & FORSCHUNG – Hochschule im Fokus.
Interdisziplinäre Schriftenreihe zu Hochschulbildung, Hochschulleben, Hochschulmanagement und Hochschulpolitik

„Niemand kann zwei Herren dienen? (Matthäusevangelium 6:24). Doch genau das wird von den Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultäten in Deutschland erwartet. Sie sollen gleichzeitig den staatlichen Vorgaben folgen als auch den Vorschriften des Heiligen Stuhles, die beide – wenn auch in unterschiedlicher Weise – ihre eigenen Wertvorstellungen verfolgen. Begreiflicherweise muss diese Situation zu Konflikten, wenn nicht sogar zu unlösbaren Problemen führen. Genau zu wissen, wo,…

Immigration, Integration and Return Migration in Germany

EURO-Wirtschaft – Studien zur ökonomischen Entwicklung Europas

Deutschland hat sich trotz hoher Nettozuwanderung lange Zeit nicht als Einwanderungsland betrachtet. Vielmehr wurden die in der Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts im Ausland angeworbenen Gastarbeiter als temporäre Arbeitskräfte aufgefasst, die nach Beendigung ihrer Beschäftigungsverhältnisse wieder in ihr Heimatland zurückkehren würden. Aufgrund von Familiennachzügen, den Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs sowie der fortschreitenden Globalisierung ist der Anteil von Personen mit…

Protecting Victims Within Legal Responses to Trafficking in Women for Sexual Exploitation in the European Union

Schriften zum ausländischen Recht

Over the years, the response of international law to trafficking has witnessed several reforms. The last of these, adopted in 2000, has been quite influential on the reformation and the adoption of trafficking regulations within the EU and its Member States. However, legislating against trafficking within the EU almost a century after international law first addressed the phenomenon indicates the questionable commanding force of the later. [...]

The Contribution of Foundations to an Ecofriendly and Sustainable Development

Studien zur Umweltpolitik

Foundations have become an important player for finding solutions for societal challenges. Besides other issues, environmental activities belong to the main topics of foundations. However, there is a lack of research on the contribution of environmental foundation for an ecofriendly and sustainable development.
