This two-volume book considers from a risk perspective the current phenomenon of the new Alt-Right authoritarianism and whether it represents ‘real’ democracy or an unacceptable hegemony potentially resulting in elected dictatorships and abuses as well as dysfunctional government. Contributing authors represent an eclectic range of disciplines, including cognitive, organizational and political psychology, sociology, history, political science, international relations, linguistics and discourse analysis, and risk analysis. The Alt-Right threats and risk exposures, whether to democracy, human rights, law and order, social welfare, racial harmony, the economy, national security, the environment, and international relations, are identified and analysed across a number of selected countries. While Vol. 1 focusses on the US, Vol. 2 (ISBN 978-3-8382-1263-0) illuminates the phenomenon in the UK, Austria, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Hungary, and Russia. Potential strategies to limit the Alt-Right threat are proposed.

This timely book examines the role of fact-checking journalism within political policy debates, and its potential contribution to public engagement. Understanding facts not to operate in a political vacuum, the book argues for a wide remit for fact-checking journalism beyond empirically-checkable facts, to include the causal relationships and predictions that form part of wider political arguments and are central to electoral pledges. Whilst these statements cannot be proven or disproven, fact-checking can, and sometimes does, ask pertinent critical questions about the premises of those claims and arguments. The analysis centres on the three dedicated national British fact-checkers during the UK’s 2017 snap general election, including their activity and engagement on Twitter. The book also makes a close political discourse and argumentation analysis of three key issue debates in flagship reporting from Channel 4 News and the BBC.

Applying lessons from history to the reality of poverty today in the United States-the most affluent country in the world-this book analyzes contributing factors to poverty and proposes steps to relieve people affected by it. American history is replete with efforts to alleviate poverty. While some efforts have resulted in at least partial success, others have not, because poverty is a multifaceted, complicated phenomenon with no simple solution. Winning the War on Poverty studies the history of poverty relief efforts in the United States dating to the 19th century, debunking misperceptions about the poor and tackling the problem of the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor. It highlights the ideological differences between liberal and conservative beliefs and includes insights drawn from a well-rounded group of disciplines including political science, history, sociology, economics, and public health. Premised on the idea that only the lessons of history can help policymakers recognize that the United States has a persistent poverty problem that is much worse than it is in many other democracies, the book suggests an 18-point plan to substantively address this dilemma. Its vision for reform does not pander to any particular ideology or political party; rather, this book explains how the United States can win the war on poverty in the short term.

This book makes an original contribution to our knowledge of the world’s major defence industries. Experts from a wide range of different countries – from the major economies of North America and Western Europe to developing economies and some unique cases such as China, India, Singapore, South Africa and North Korea – describe and analyse the structure, conduct and performance of the defence industry in that country. Each chapter opens with statistics on a key nation’s defence spending, its spending on defence R&D and on procurement over the period 1980 to 2017, allowing for an analysis of industry changes following the end of the Cold War. After the facts of each industry, the authors describe and analyse the structure, conduct and performance of the industry. The analysis of ‘structure’ includes discussions of entry conditions, domestic monopoly/oligopoly structures and opportunities for competition. The section on ‘conduct’ analyses price/non-price competition, including private and state funded R&D, and ‘performance’ incorporates profitability, imports and exports together with spin-offs and technical progress. The conclusion explores the future prospects for each nation’s defence industry. Do defence industries have a future? What might the future defence firm and industry look like in 50 years’ time? This volume is a vital resource and reference for anyone interested in defence economics, industrial economics, international relations, strategic studies and public procurement.

Titel in englischer Sprache Eine wichtige Neuerscheinung für alle, die mit Rückversicherungen zu tun haben. Vor allem Einsteiger finden hier übersichtlich und verständlich alle relevanten Informationen auf einen Blick! Das „ABC der Rückversicherung“ ist in zwei Teile untergliedert. Im ersten befassen sich die Autoren intensiv mit der traditionellen Rückversicherung. Dazu zählen Themen wie die Vertragsrückversicherung und die fakultative Rückversicherung - und zwar sowohl in der proportionalen als auch in der nichtproportionalen Form. Der erste Teil behandelt zusätzlich zentrale Methoden der Bepreisung und der Rechnungslegung von Rückversicherungsverträgen. Zahlreiche Illustrationen, Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben mit nachvollziehbaren Musterlösungen sorgen dafür für bestmögliche Verständlichkeit. Ganz bewusst verzichteten die Autoren darauf, mathematische Herleitungen zu erklären. Aus gutem Grund: Im Vordergrund steht klar und deutlich die schnelle Anwendbarkeit, daher werden konkret die Vor- und Nachteile der einzelnen Techniken und Konzepte herausgearbeitet. Der zweite Teil widmet sich dann den fortgeschrittenen Aspekten in der Rückversicherung. Dazu gehören Methoden des alternativen Risikotransfers, aber auch die verschiedenen Anwendungsgebiete der passiven Rückversicherung kommen nicht zu kurz. In erster Linie ist der zweite Teil dazu gedacht, einen kompakten Überblick über weitere Themengebiete zu geben, die rund um die traditionelle Rückversicherung flankierend auftauchen. Bereits Anfänger, die mit dem Thema noch nicht sehr vertraut sind, können so die wichtigsten Konzepte der Rückversicherung und die in der Praxis verwandten Fachtermini einsortieren und grob bewerten! Zahlreiche Referenzen geben dabei nicht nur Sicherheit, sie dienen auch einem vertieften Einstieg. Im Einzelnen werden hier die folgenden Themengebiete angesprochen: Fronting und Captives zur Steuerung des Selbstbehaltes der zedierenden Gesellschaft Run-Off-Management zur Abwicklung von Versicherungsbeständen Regulatorische Themen wie die Äquivalenz von einzelnen Aufsichtsregimen und die Erfassung von global systemrelevanten Versicherern sowie Skizzierung von Methoden zur Optimierung von Rückversicherungsstrukturen und Selbstbehalten Ein Glossar, der die im Buch gebrauchten Fachtermini kurz erläutert, rundet das für die Branche wichtige Buch ab. Ideal für Anfänger bei Versicherungsunternehmen, die sich mit der aktiven oder passiven Rückversicherung beschäftigen, und die sich einen kompakten, schnellen und anwendungsorientierten Überblick verschaffen wollen! Those who are dealing with assumed or ceded reinsurance can find here all information at a glance. In the first part the authors deal with traditional assumed reinsurance, i.e., treaty and facultative reinsurance, both proportional and non-proportional in nature. Illustrations, practical examples and exercises enhance the reader’s experience. The second part is dedicated to advanced reinsurance, e.g., to methods of alternative risk transfer and work fields in ceded reinsurance. Ideal for the beginner to obtain an application-oriented overview of the relevant concepts and techniques in reinsurance!

With the advent of the internet and handheld or wearable media systems that plunge the user into 360o video, augmented—or virtual reality—technology is changing how stories are told and created. In this book, John V. Pavlik argues that a new form of mediated communication has emerged: experiential news. Experiential media delivers not just news stories but also news experiences, in which the consumer engages news as a participant or virtual eyewitness in immersive, multisensory, and interactive narratives. Pavlik describes and analyzes new tools and approaches that allow journalists to tell stories that go beyond text and image. He delves into developing forms such as virtual reality, haptic technologies, interactive documentaries, and drone media, presenting the principles of how to design and frame a story using these techniques. Pavlik warns that although experiential news can heighten user engagement and increase understanding, it may also fuel the transformation of fake news into artificial realities, and he discusses the standards of ethics and accuracy needed to build public trust in journalism in the age of virtual reality. Journalism in the Age of Virtual Reality offers important lessons for practitioners seeking to produce quality experiential news and those interested in the ethical considerations that experiential media raise for journalism and the public.
