It took 15 years of negotiations to integrate China into the World Trade Organization. This book argues that redistributive conflicts between China and old WTO members delayed the accession negotiations and fostered protectionist resentments against China as a new member. An explorative case study illustrates the emergence of third-market competition as a motive for members not to enlarge the organization since it contests the profits of their exporting industries. The econometric analysis of industry-specific antidumping measures on imports from China reveals that members’ import-competing industries also seek protection. As a result, one reason why China was not warmly welcomed to the WTO by a heterogeneous group of countries is, ironically, its trading power.

Dieses Buch untersucht die Rolle der Schweizer Wohnwirtschaft in der Nachhaltigkeitsdebatte und analysiert die Effizienz der Ressourcenallokation von Land, Energie und Kapital. Es bricht die Trennung zwischen Wirtschaft, Ökologie und Sozialem auf und zeigt, wie der Schweizer Wohnungsmarkt als nachhaltiges Vorbild dienen kann.

This work deals with strategies of Geman-Jewish immigrants in Jerusalem in the 1930s to rebuild their religious traditions brought from Germany – and thereby rescue the rich heritage of Aschkenas from the destruction by the Nazis. The immigrants tried to reach this by founding new synagogues or educational institutions with religious background. Although they came from different ideological backgrounds – some of them were rooted in different wings of German Orthodoxy, some of them were adherents of Liberal Judaism – with these institutions they all tried to contribute to the constitution of the Land of Israel. In the struggle for the establishment of their synagogues and schools manifold religious-political interrelations and conflicts from the 19th and early 20th centuries showed up which either had been taken in the symbolic package of the immigrants to Jerusalem. These conflicts – combined with the lacking willingness to integrate the German Jewish cultural artefacts into the religious life of the Jischuv – made the development of most of the immigrant institutions nearly impossible. However, especially the orthodox educational institutions managed to hold their ground – a phenomenon which will be analysed by this thesis.

Die Arbeit beschreibt die Konzeption, die Entwicklung und den Einsatz verschiedener Werkzeuge zur gezielten Variation und Analyse des Fahrverhaltens von Kraftfahrzeugen. Eine zentrale Rolle spielen hierbei elektrische Linearaktuatoren, welche durch die virtuelle Veränderung der Spezifikationen von Fahrwerksbauteilen mittels der Generierung zusätzlicher Relativkräfte zwischen Rad und Karosserie das Bewegungsverhalten der Fahrzeugkarosserie gezielt verändern können.
