Trotz der komprimierten Fassung bietet die deutsche Übersetzung einen sehr guten Überblick zu den eindrucksvollen Forschungsergebnissen Wilsons, welche die Sicht auf die Spättheologie Augustins und die Bewertung des Calvinismus nachhaltig prägen werden. <p content-type="flush left">Summary <p content-type="flush left">This book is the abbreviated version of a doctoral thesis on the effective turning point in the thinking of Augustine of Hippo with regard to human freedom of will.

The Media

Significance That Greece’s largest-selling daily newspaper Ta Nea (established in 1931) and DOL’s flagship Sunday newspaper To Vima (established in 1922) have suspended publication has sent shock waves through society and the media. It is a turning point in the long-term economic decline of the Greek media, which have been hard hit by the crisis. The decline has coincided with the more recent drive of the Syriza/Independent Greeks (Anel) coalition government for media control. Last month, DOL owner Stavros Psycharis, who faces charges of tax evasion and money laundering, appealed to the board of Syriza party newspaper Avgi for help. Impacts The government's efforts to control the media will undermine the anti-establishment rhetoric it employed before coming to power. Long-term dependence on bank loans and tax breaks and economic decline will aggravate the media’s lack of independence. DOL’s troubles will have wider ramifications as it holds shares in the popular Mega TV channel. If government attempts to control more of the media fail, it will show that checks and balances still exist in Greece’s democracy.

The Government

Significance This is a crucial step for the government before year-end, together with long-term banking issues and slowing economic recovery. The European Commission has allowed Italy considerable fiscal flexibility; the government promises to start reducing its debt-to-GDP ratio this year. However, the slowdown could delay achieving this goal. Under this scenario, the government has to campaign for the referendum on its Senate reform. A 'yes' vote is key not only for reforming the political system, but the government's survival. Impacts A 'no' outcome would pull Italy into deep uncertainty concerning its political leadership. It would also end Renzi's premiership; a new majority could follow up to the 2018 general election. However, since Renzi is the PD leader, he is unlikely to support a new government; early elections are likely. In case of a 'yes' outcome, Renzi's premiership will be reinforced, marking a turning point to his declining popularity.

Subject Data privacy regulations in China. Significance This year has been a turning point for data privacy in China. Internet majors Alibaba and Baidu faced lawsuits and official warnings over data privacy violations. The government has begun enforcing stricter privacy rules and new rules lay the groundwork for a privacy regime that will protect citizens from privacy encroachments and misuse of their data by companies. Impacts The similarities between the Chinese and EU frameworks will facilitate economic exchanges. The new rules may create difficulties for US or Australian firms in China, which lack a comprehensive privacy regulatory framework Relaxing policies on encryption will level the playing field for foreign encryption companies in China.

Significance The agency aims to digitise administrative procedures in 31 policy areas, such as elderly care and childrearing, while standardising systems across all government levels within five years. Impacts The agency's need to integrate specialists and mid-career hires could provide a model for the rest of the civil service. Taro Kono, the leading candidate to succeed Suga as prime minister, would continue pushing digitisation, probably even more strongly. Successful digitisation would help Japan deal with the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic and respond to future national crises more effectively.
