Academic Director Berkley Center for Entrepreneurial Studies William J Baumol

With his characteristic acuteness and lucidity, William Baumol, one of America's foremost economists, tackles the problem of equity considerations in welfare economics by applying the novel "superfairness" criterion to the distribution of resources, product, income, and wealth that arises from economic decisions.

Applications and Theory

Superfairness

Johan Galtung

This is the first ever anthology of key articles by Johan Galtung, widely regarded as the founder of the academic discipline of peace studies. It covers such concepts as direct, structural and cultural violence; theories of conflict, development, civilization and peace; peaceful conflict transformation; peace education; mediation; reconciliation; a life-sustaining economy; macro-history; deep culture and deep structure; and social science methodology. Galtung has contributed original research, concepts and theories to more than 20 social science disciplines, including sociology, international relations and future studies, and has also applied his new insights in practice. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners, and can serve as a supplemental textbook for graduate and upper undergraduate courses in peace studies and related fields.

Das Buch enthält ausgewählte Vorträge, die anläßlich des Symposiums über Operations Research (SOR'95) in der Zeit vom 13.-15.9.1995 an der Universität Passau gehalten wurden. Der Leser erhält einen Einblick in neueste Forschungsergebnisse auf dem Gebiet des Operations Research. Der Sammelband demonstriert eindrucksvoll das weite Spektrum der vom Operations Research heute behandelten Thematiken. Neben primär methodischen Fragestellungen bilden praxisorientierte Themen wie Anwendungsberichte aus der Praxis, im Umweltschutz, der Logistik und Verkehrsplanung einen Schwerpunkt. Deutlich wird auch die Ausstrahlung des Operations Research in andere wissenschaftliche Disziplinen wie Informatik, Ökonomie und Wirtschaftsinformatik.
