The fifth volume in this six-volume collection of Otto Kirchheimer’s (1905–1965) works is entitled Politische Systeme im Nachkriegseuropa (Political Systems in post-war Europe) and contains 34 works by Kirchheimer, published between 1950 and 1967, on changes to political orders in modern industrial societies. Geographically, these studies focus not only on the Federal Republic of Germany but also on developments in other Western European democracies, the USA and the GDR. In these writings, Kirchheimer pays particular attention to changes in the party systems in these countries, the changing role of the parliamentary opposition, the calculated influence of associations and interest groups, the intensification of bureaucracy and the strengthening of the executive, and the political attitudes and expectations of citizens in modern democracies. In addition, this volume contains a comprehensive bibliography of all Kirchheimer’s published works plus a selection of his unpublished writings. This book will appeal to all those interested in politics, law, contemporary history and sociology.

The central role of R&D centers in the advancement of technology within industrial enterprises is undeniable and clearly affects their strategies, their competitiveness and their business sustainability. R&D centers assume responsibility for technology recognition, collection, acquisition, development and transition. Among their activities, the efficient choice of emerging technologies in the Technology Management Process is becoming a real challenge. In such heterogeneous scenarios, Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) models are commonly proposed as an appropriate decision-making approach. Multiple research works address the selection of particular technologies in industrial applications, but very few references can be found related to research institutions, and R&D centers in particular. Therefore, a decision-making model is provided in this study following the MIVES multi criteria method for the assessment of one or more technologies. The model is then applied to two case studies related to the selection process of new technologies at a Spanish R&D Center specialized in manufacturing.

Liberal Market Economy

This paper looks at the position of CEOs in Dutch listed companies in the context of institutional change. Following up on discussions on Varieties of Capitalism and the contrasts between coordinated and liberal market economies, we explore the position of the CEO in the Netherlands in the second half of the twentieth century. On the basis of our database of Dutch CEOs, as well as an analysis of articles and published interviews, we show that the move toward a more liberal market economy had a clear impact on the position of CEOs and on the way their role was perceived. This paper highlights the importance of studying leaders in their historical context, with implications for the selection of future CEOs as they face increasing pressure on issues such as inequality and climate change.

The role of psychosocial variables in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of pain has grown significantly in the past 30 years. Pain is no longer dichotomously thought of as either a purely psychological or physiological condition (mind–body dualism) but, rather, as a combination of biopsychosocial factors and experiences. The questions in this chapter consider the changing role of these psychosocial factors by exploring the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and other pain-related assessments and psychodiagnostics; cognitive–behavioral, acceptance and commitment, behavioral, and other psychological interventions for pain management; the role of stages of change in selection of interventions; and biopsychosocial theoretical models for understanding pain. The answers provide detailed and empirically supported explanations of the biopsychosocial impact of pain, along with references to texts commonly utilized in the training of anesthesiologists, so as to promote a better understanding of the associated materials.

AbstractThis article argues that the landscape dominated by olive groves that is now seen as characteristic of southern Spain is a relatively recent phenomenon. In the eighteenth, nineteenth and much of the twentieth century, olives were not an industrial crop, grown on a large scale for the production of oil. Instead, olive trees were largely grown by small peasant farmers and used to produce timber and fodder as well as foodstuffs, forming one component of a diverse peasant economy. This article will analyse the changing role of the olive within the landscape of the Spanish Mediterranean, and explore the process by which production moved towards single crop cultivation by large industrial enterprises.

When Communist Party Candidates Can Lose, Who Wins? Assessing the Role of Local People's Congresses in the Selection of Leaders in China

AbstractThis article draws on Party and government documents, Chinese-language books and articles, interviews and firsthand observation, and electoral outcome data to contribute to the emerging literature on the changing role of people's congresses in mainland China. It focuses on the crucially important but neglected relationship between local congresses and local Communist Party committees in the selection of congress and government leaders. It analyses the 1995 reforms to Party regulations and the law, which resulted in electoral losses of more than 17,000 Communist Party candidates in the first set of elections after 1995. It concludes that the reforms created the conditions for local congress delegates to matter – and delegates responded. More broadly, it concludes that congressional assertiveness has significant (although not radical) implications for the relationship between the congresses and Party committees. The winners in the broader (not narrowly electoral) sense of the term are both the congresses and the ruling Communist Party, strengthened as an organization with selection of leaders opened up to more players.

Tax planning at the micro level is defined as a system of measures of the enterprise aimed at maximizing the possibilities of current legislation in order to legally optimize tax payments; tax budgeting - a system of measures aimed at determining the planned amount of tax payments payable by the enterprise in future periods; calculation of current tax payments - a system of measures aimed at calculating the actual amount of tax payments payable by the enterprise in the current reporting period. Optimization of tax payments at the micro level involves compliance with such conditions of economic activity of the enterprise, under which the profitability of the industrial enterprise is approaching the maximum, and business risks - to the minimum. The goal of the article is to study the experience of organizing tax planning at industrial enterprises, the sequence of its stages; and propose a methodology for tax planning in an industrial enterprise. The proposed methodology of tax planning is based on system and project approaches, and, in particular, provides for: systematization of tax schemes and their selection according to the priority of use in the development of tax planning projects; selection of the optimal project on the basis of optimality criteria; comprehensive analysis of the tax field and the results of tax planning; current monitoring of the implementation of tax plans, the results of which offset the impact of negative factors through the use of backup and emergency projects. The methodology of tax planning at an industrial enterprise should be based on a systematic and project-based approach with the implementation of: systematization of the tax schemes and their selection according to the priority of use in the development of tax planning projects; selection of the optimal project, based on optimality criteria; comprehensive analysis of the tax field and the results of tax planning; ongoing monitoring of the implementation of the tax plans.Tax planning in industrial enterprises is a complex, integrated process, the rationalization of which should be based on a systematic approach using the achievements of economic, financial and legal disciplines. The introduction of tax planning in the management system of an industrial enterprise allows to make more meaningful conclusions about the further development of activities and reduce the risk of making wrong decisions in a particular problem situation.

Abstract The authorial preface to works of fiction provides a unique space for exploration of authorial self-fashioning and author-reader mediation. This article argues that, when works of fiction are translated and new prefaces written for a new readership, these prefaces can provide extra insights into the perceptions, expectations, and constrictions of both producing and consuming literature in a global era. Recent debates on world literature have centered mainly on issues of reception and circulation, preferring to define its scope in terms of the reader and the reading context rather than by the author or production process. This study considers the changing role of authors who consciously attempt to locate themselves within this contested and reconfigured field and how they construct a persona to address a newly defined world readership. This article explores the changes throughout the twentieth century by analyzing a selection of authorial prefaces to translated editions of three influential authors: Lu Xun 魯迅 (1881–1936), Ba Jin 巴金 (1906–2005), and Yu Hua 余華 (1960–). All prolific preface writers, they each have, in different ways, in different periods, engaged with the concept of a global literary readership and marketplace and negotiated their respective places within it.

This paper describes the changing role of hydro-electric generation in Tasmania in the presence of expanding wind energy developments. Whereas hydro generators have traditionally been dispatched on the premise of satisfying energy requirements, with other power system security functions including voltage control, frequency control, fault current contribution, inertia etc largely satisfied by default, analysis suggests that hydro generators will need to be utilised more deliberately for their ancillary service capabilities if high levels of wind penetration are to be realised in Tasmania. This paper presents a selection of design modifications currently being investigated for existing hydro plant which are aimed at extending certain ancillary service capabilities, while minimising impacts on water storage strategies. Discussions include trade-offs that exist under such operational regimes, as well as the need for revised market arrangements necessary to adequately compensate generators for their role as renewable energy facilitators.
