"The chapters we see in this fascinating collection organized by Maltz andRice would be a valuable addition to such a course. Each of the authors, invery different ways, has taken us behind the scenes, not so much to a particularpaper, but rather to a particular facet of a research issue or a personalresearch career. Their stories confi rm one of the themes of my seminar that“all research is research in progress.” There is a striking continuity in theauthors’ individual stories as they moved from one completed paper to thenext, even though it may appear that the next paper moves into a differentarea. Finding that different area could well have been provoked by issuesraised in a previous paper, by methodologies introduced or developed in an earlier paper, or by needs to support a previous assumption."

"This text is a summary of my farewell lecture as a university professor, which Igave on 5 July 2005 as the holder of the professorship for Political Sciences andContemporary History in Mannheim, and which I later elaborated.The analysis of unique historic events, as well as permanent structures andprocess patterns, requires the use of a range of different methods used in thehistorical and social sciences, which take into account the uniqueness of eventsand the regulatory character of structures. The history of society and historicalsocial science are two not entirely compatible research approaches, whichattempt to link the analysis of events and structures in their own differentways. Their common feature can be described as being a socio-historicalresearch approach.In the age of the sovereignty of the people, strong tendencies can be observedtowards a lasting world peace, as well as towards legal and illegal acts of massannihilation, particularly in the form of war and of mass murder. A usefulconcept of peace cannot aim to achieve structural conflict resolution and conflicttermination, but merely a dynamic of regulated conflict, which involves cooperationand which entails a low degree of violence.In European policy, the geographical and socio-political dimensions of theconcept of Europe are conjoined in different ways. Historically, a shift in theimage of a north-south Europe towards a west-central-east Europe and thentowards an east-west Europe can be observed."

"The conclusion briefly evaluates some of the key accomplishments of the recent historic preservation movement. It also provides a synthesis that draws on the lessons of each of the chapters, sketching out some of the hurdles that remain and are likely to occupy the agendas of preservationists in the decades ahead. The development of the historic preservation movement is, in itself, evidence of our particular American culture, as it changes. All of the evidencestrongly suggests, however, that this social campaign will continue and our legacy will extend to future generations."

"This volume provides a critical roadmap through the major historical sources of legal semiotics as we know them today. The history of legal semiotics, now at least a century old, has never been written (a non-event itself pregnant with semiotic possibility).  As a consequence, its sources are seldom clearly exposed and, as word, object and meaning change, are sometimes lost. They reach from an English translation of the 1916 inaugural lecture of the first Chair in Legal Significs at the Amsterdam University, via mid 20th century studies on “property” or “contract,” to equally fascinating essays on contemporary semiotic problems produced by former students of the Roberta Kevelson Semiotics Roundtable Seminar at Penn State University 2012 and 2013. Together, the materials in this book weave the fabric of semiotics and significs, two names for the unfolding of semiotics in law and legal discourse at least until the second half of the 20th century, and both of which covered a lawyer’s focus on sign and meaning in law.  The latter is embedded within the cultural imperatives of the civilization that gave these terms meaning and made them an effective tool for the dissection of law, its reconstitution as an instrument to be used by the lawyer to advance the interests of her clients, and for judges as a means to restructure language as a narrative of law whose power could bend behavior to its strictures. Legal semiotics has become an indispensible part of the elite lawyer’s toolkit and a fundamental approach to analysis of legal texts. Two previous volumes published in 2011 and 2012 explored the conceptual, methodological and epistemological progress in the field of legal semiotics, the modern forms of semiotics study, and the mechanics of meaning making processes by lawyers. Yet the great lessons of semiotics requires a focus on the origins of the concepts and frameworks that would become contemporary legal semiotics, its origins as an object of the consciousness of meaning making—one whose roots, as lessons for the oracular conversations of law, are expanded in this volume."

"This volume focuses on several theoretical topics in world politics and analyzes prominent cases of global conflicts and their potential peaceful resolution. It covers issues such as the multiplication of nation states in the era of globalization, failed peace policy concepts in the 20th century, and the question of who was to blame for the outbreak of the Great War. The author discusses three influential patterns of interpretation of international relations and global events: the conviction that war is eternally rooted in human nature and history, the renewed interest in geopolitical thought and the theory of a clash between the predominantly religious-based civilizations. Finally, individual conflicts, such as the rebellion in several Arab countries, the potential war of intervention against Iran, the Indo-Pakistani-Chinese entanglement in the disputes over Kashmir and the present war in Ukraine are examined in detail."

"The purpose of this presentation is to share the theoretical framework of our collaborative research entitled "Migrant Networks as a Survival Strategy for Minorities in the Global Transborder Migration of Minorities in Mainland Southeast Asia".Our multidisciplinary research group aims to determine how globalization affects the life course of minorities by focusing on the extension of their transborder migration networks. This three-year project comment in June 2012 and is scheduled to end in January 2015. The research group consists of five researches: Prof. Masami Fujimaki (Japan), Dr. Nisakorn Klanarong (Thailand), Dr. Suttiporn Bunmak (Thailand), Dr. Mala Rajo Sathian (Malaysia), and Kayoko Ishii (Japan), who is the group's organizer."
