With its new subtitle, Romance Literatures of the World, the book series mimesis presents an innovative and integral understanding of the Romance world and Romance Studies from the perspective of literary studies and cultural theory. It takes account of the fact that the fascinating development of Romance literatures and cultures both in Europe and beyond has set in motion worldwide dynamics which continue the great traditions of the Romance world and open up new horizons for them. mimesis works from a transareal understanding of Romance Studies which integrates Romance literatures and cultures both within and outside Europe and which transcends the national and disciplinary boundaries which often conceal the interactions between different traditions and developmentsin Europe and the Americas, in Africa and Asia. In the archipelago of Romance Studies, mimesis reveals how the representation of reality in the Romance literatures of the world opens the door to a multilingual cosmos of diverse logics.

The WTO is one of the most important intergovernmental organizations in the world, yet the way in which it functions as an organization and the scope of its authority and power are still poorly understood. This comprehensively revised new edition of the acclaimed work by an outstanding team of WTO law specialists provides a complete overview of the law and practice of the WTO. The authors begin with the institutional law of the WTO (such as the sources of law and remedies of the dispute settlement system), then tackle the principal substantive obligations of the WTO regime (including tariffs, quotas, and MFN). They then move on to consider unfair trade, regional trading arrangements, and developing countries. In its final section the book deals with the consequences of globalization: first, where free trade is seen to be incompatible with environmental protection and, second, where WTO law confronts legal regimes governing issues of competition and intellectual property.

Det klassiske tibetanske skriftsprog er dels vigtigt for studiet af den tibetanske kultur og historie i almindelighed, men er samtidig helt uundværligt for studiet af buddhismen, da en meget stor del af de gamle buddhistiske skrifter i dag kun findes overleveret i tibetansk oversættelse. Professor Hahns klassiske lærebog udkom første gang i 1970, og har siden været revideret flere gange, sidst i 1997. Bogen giver en grundig indføring i skriften, udtalen og grammatikken. I slutningen af hver lektion findes læsestykker med glossar.

Die Zeitromane der Weimarer Republik drucken individuelle und kollektive Reaktionen auf das Zeitgeschehen aus. Autorinnen und Autoren unterschiedlichster politisch-weltanschaulicher Herkunft - L. Feuchtwanger, H. Mann, E. Kastner, E. Reger, J. Wassermann, F. Werfel, A. Doblin, H. Fallada, F. Thiess, K. Schroder u.a. - thematisieren darin eine Zeit, die mehr und mehr von der Weltkrise der westlichen Zivilisation und dem Aufkommen des Nationalsozialismus gepragt wird. Die ideologiekritische Untersuchung aus der Perspektive eines Historikers erortert die Leistungen und Grenzen bei den Zeitdiagnosen sowie den Zukunftsprognosen. Dabei entsteht ein panoramatischer Uberblick uber die unterschiedlichen Einschatzungsmoglichkeiten der gesellschaftlichen, politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Verhaltnisse der ersten deutschen Republik."
