Foresight in Action: Developing Policy-Oriented Scenarios
ISBN: 9781844076772 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Assessing the future is vital in informing public policy decisions. One of the most widespread approaches is the development of scenarios, which are alternative hypothetical futures. Research has indicated, however, that the reality of how professionals go about employing scenarios is often starkly at odds with the theory - a finding that has important ramifications for how the resulting images of the future should be interpreted. It also shows the need for rewriting and updating theory. This book, based on an intensive five year study of how experts actually go about assessing the future,...

The Federal Theology of Johannes Cocceius (1603-1669)
ISBN: 9789004119987 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume deals with the Federal theology of Johannes Cocceius, who lived in the seventeenth century (1603-1669). German by birth, he taught at Bremen, Franeker and Leiden, where he was Professor of Theology (1650-1669).

The trade conflicts that the EU has faced within the EU or WTO context demonstrate that the question of how to balance trade and other societal values in situations of uncertainty has not been solved by the regulatory model evolved by the EU in the aftermath of the BSE crisis one which privileges processes of depoliticisation and scientification. This book addresses the current key dilemmas around science, law and the regulation of trade, both on a regime level and in the context of particular industrial sectors, e.g pharmaceuticals, climate change and nanotechnology. It will present... The trade conflicts that the EU has faced within the EU or WTO context demonstrate that the question of how to balance trade and other societal val... |

ISBN: 9789089645135 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Physical safety is a core task of government.
