This book evaluates the Simulated International Processer (SIPER) model of the international political system, which was derived from the Inter-Nation Simulation model created at Northwestern University. Stuart Bremer makes a significant advance by programming all aspects of the basic theory so that it more completely and accurately reflects the complexity of international relations in the real world. After describing the SIPER model, the author sets forth the values of the variables and parameters used for the twenty-four runs, including those that remained the same throughout and those that were varied. He then undertakes to validate the model by determining the extent to which the simulated nations behave like real world nations and simulated international systems like real international systems. In conclusion, he assesses the model's strengths and weaknesses and points to possible future improvements.Originally published in 1977.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Die mittelbare Beteiligung an Wettbewerbsverstößen stellt den Rechtsanwender erfahrungsgemäß vor größere Schwierigkeiten, ist in diesen Fällen im Vergleich zur unmittelbaren Begehung ein in der Regel besonders hoher Begründungsaufwand von Nöten, um eine Sanktionierung herzuleiten. Im Bereich des Kartellrechts hat diese Thematik mit der Entscheidung des EuG ""AC-Treuhand/Kommission"" erheblich an Brisanz gewonnen. Konkret geht es dabei um die grundlegende Frage, ob sog. Kartellgehilfen, also Unternehmen, deren einzige Aufgabe darin besteht, Kartelle zu organisieren und die Kartellanten bei der

A Store Almost in Sight tells the story of commercial development in central Missouri from the early days of American settlement following the Louisiana Purchase to the Civil War. Focusing on those counties near or on the Missouri River, historian Jeff Bremer confirms that the history of the frontier is also the history of the spread of capitalist values. The letters, journals, diaries, and travel accounts of Missouri settlers and visitors reveal how small decisions made by Missouri's rural white settlers-ranging from how much of a certain crop to plant to how many eggs to take to the local store-contributed to the establishment of a market economy in the state. Most Missourians welcomed the opportunity to take part in commercial markets. Farmwomen sold eggs or butter to peddlers and in nearby towns, while men took surplus corn or pork to stores for credit. Immigrants searched for the most fertile land closest to waterways, to ensure they would have large harvests and an easy way to ship them to market. Families floated farm goods downriver until steamboats transformed rural life by drastically reducing the cost of transportation and boosting farm production and consumption. Traders also trekked west across the plains to trade at the inland entrepôt of Santa Fe. The waves of migrants headed for Oregon and California in the 1840s and 1850s further encouraged commercial development. However, most white settlers lacked the necessary financial means to be capitalists in a technical sense, seeking instead a "competency," or comfortable independence. This fresh reinterpretation of the American frontier will interest anyone who wants to understand the economic and social significance of westward migration in U.S. history. It gives the reader a gritty, grassroots sense of how ordinary people made their livings and built communities in the lands newly

Der Band präsentiert Beiträge aus soziologischer, politikdidaktischer und erziehungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive und ermöglicht damit eine fruchtbare Perspektivenverschränkung sowie eine Öffnung der politischen Bildung für bildungssoziologische Fragestellungen. Deutlich wird, dass der Beitrag der Bildungssoziologie darin liegt, mit normativen Vorgaben und Selbstverständlichkeiten der gegenwärtigen Diskurse in der politischen Bildung zu brechen und somit eine andere Perspektive auf den Gegenstand zu werfen.
