  • Final Report Transatlantic Summer Workshop
    Final Report Transatlantic Summer Workshop “Globalization, Nationalism and Populism in the Transatlantic World” CUNY Graduate Center & Ruhr University Bochum New York July 31– August 4, 2017 For the third time, graduate students and professors from the CUNY Graduate Center, New York, and Ruhr University Bochum (RUB), Germany, participated in an annual weeklong transatlantic summer workshop framed around the topic of “Globalization, Nationalism, and Populism in the Transatlantic World.” The workshop was chaired by Professors Constantin Goschler (RUB), Benjamin Hett (CUNY), John Torpey (CUNY) and Michael Wala (RUB), and organized by Dr. Patrizia Nobbe (CUNY). The 20 participants were graduate students from both sides of the Atlantic, all of them working in the fields of sociology, social sciences, history, literature, and media studies on projects related to the main topic of the workshop. At the opening reception on July 31, 2017, Dr. Karen Donfried, President of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, delivered the keynote address “Transatlantic Relations 70 Years after the Marshall Plan.” The reception took place at the German Consulate General New York and attracted a large audience. Peter Rosenbaum, Director of the University Alliance Ruhr Liaison Office, Ambassador Jürgen Schulz, Deputy Permanent Representative of Germany to the United Nations and John Torpey, Director of the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies and one of the co- hosts, delivered opening remarks. In her speech, Dr. Donfried highlighted the importance of transatlantic partnership, especially during times of challenges such as the refugee crisis, terrorism, and the rise of populism both in the US and in Europe. The main goal of the workshop was for German and American PhD students to present their dissertation projects and receive critical feedback for their future research.

THE PRIME MINISTER hoped they might clear away many questions about which they had been writing to each other for a long time. As time had passed many things had arisen, but they were out of all proportion to the greatness of the common struggle. By talking to each other he and Stalin could avoid innumerable telegrams and letters - and they could give the Ambassador a holiday.

  • The Scale of Urban Change Worldwide 1950-2000 and Its Underpinnings
    Human Settlements Discussion Paper Series Theme: Urban Change –1 The scale of urban change worldwide 1950-2000 and its underpinnings David Satterthwaite This is an updated and expanded version of two previously published papers, The Scale and Nature of Urban Change in the South, an IIED working paper published in 1996, and Coping with Rapid Urban Growth, RICS International Paper Series, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, London, published in 2002. Part of the reason for this updated version is the availability from the United Nations Population Division of a new global dataset on urban populations and on the populations of the largest cities. Unless otherwise stated, the statistics for global, regional, national and city populations in this paper are drawn from United Nations (2004), World Urbanization Prospects: The 2003 Revision, Population Division, Department for Economic and Social Affairs, ESA/P/WP.190, New York, 323 pages. The author is particularly grateful to the UN Population Division for making this data available. ii ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Satterthwaite is a Senior Fellow at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and also on the teaching staff of the London School of Economics and University College London. He is also editor of the international journal Environment and Urbanization. He has written or edited various books on urban issues, including Squatter Citizen (with Jorge E.

  • Multimedia-Documentation of the Coal Mines in the Ruhr District
    Multimedia Documentation of the Coal-Mines in the Ruhr District Prof. Dr. Juergen M. Dodt Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany [email protected] Dipl.-Geogr. Martina Drecker Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany [email protected] Abstract So far the complex history of coal-mining in the Ruhr District has been documented in (a wide variety of) books and papers only – with all the disadvantages of this traditional form of documentation. This poster briefly recalls the particular problems and requirements of documenting coal-mining in the Ruhr District; and it presents the basic concept of a new multimedia documentation, including the content of its basic modules. Finally, some major aspects of practical realisation are discussed. 1 Introduction For two centuries and more the Ruhr District has been Germany’s most important industrial region, and despite the decline of its traditional industries it still ranks as one of the country’s economically leading metropolitan areas. It is the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr agglomeration in North Rhine Westphalia, extending over approx.130 km from west to east and some 30 to 35 km from south to north, and covering an area of about 4,600 km2 (= Ruhr Regional Planning Authority) between the valleys of the rivers Ruhr, Emscher, Lippe, and across the Rhine (cf. fig.1). Figure 1: Location of the Ruhr District Figure 2: Generalized geological section through the Ruhr coal-field The economic development and the regional structural differentiation of the Ruhr District have mainly been determined by the particular geological structure of the Ruhr coal-field (cf.

Le Néchet, Florent, Université Paris-Est, Laboratoire Ville Mobilité Transport, UPEM : 5 boulevard Copernic, Cité Descartes F 77454 Marne-la-Vallée cedex 2 France [email protected] Abstract Many articles tried to address the question of the “optimal” urban form regarding sustainable mobility (Newman & Kenworthy, 1999 ; a, 2008). Conclusions however remain controversial for very large metropolitan regions given complexity of multiscale organization of the metropolitan area (Schwanen et al., 2001 ; Banister, 2008 ; Le Néchet & Aguilera, 2012a) and the diversity of their associated mobility patterns, partly due to the inertia of both urban form and mobility habits (Klinger, 2016).

  • Megacities – Megarisks Trends and Challenges for Insurance and Risk Management Traffic and Spatial Problems in Megacities Pose a Special Challenge for City Planners
    Knowledge series Megacities – Megarisks Trends and challenges for insurance and risk management Traffic and spatial problems in megacities pose a special challenge for city planners. These problems can only be overcome by designing unconventional structures, as illustrated here by the city freeway in Shanghai. Earthquake catastrophes have shown, however, that bridges and flyovers are often highly prone to losses. Munich Re, Megacities – Megarisks Foreword Global urbanisation and rural-to-urban migration are among the megatrends of our time – together with population growth, the overexploitation of natural resources, environmental pollution and globalisation – that will have the most lasting impact on the future of mankind. However, as with other developments, even a model for success – as cities undoubtedly are in view of their positive influence on culture, economic activity, technologies and networks – will even- tually reach its limits and, once the negative effects exceed the positive ones, necessitate a change in paradigm. A megacity is a prime example of such a critical stage of development: an organism with more than ten million living cells gradually risks being suffo- cated by the problems it has itself created – like traffic, environmental damage and crime. This is especially true where growth is too rapid and unorganic, as is the case in most megacities in emerging and developing countries. As the trend towards megacities gathers pace, opportunities and risks go hand in hand and undergo major changes over time. Munich Re therefore began to consider these problems at an early stage, beginning in the 1990s and gradually examining a series of important aspects in its publications.

  • Establishing a 3D Model for the Rhine-Ruhr Region Based on the Geology and Property Distribution

Establishing a 3D model for the Rhine-Ruhr region based on the geology and property distribution. Gabriela de los Angeles Gonzalez de Lucio1,2, Martin Balcewicz1,3, and Erik H. Saenger1,2,3 1Civil and Environmental Engineering, Bochum University of Applied Sciences, Bochum, Germany 2Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Energy,IEG, Bochum, Germany 3Institute of Geology, Mineralogy and Geophysics, Ruhr-Universität, Bochum, Germany The Rhine-Ruhr region is located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) in western Germany. Due to the transition from coal to low-carbon heat sources, potential locations in NRW must be explored regarding to their geothermal potential. The Bavarian area has shown for the last 20 years, that deep geothermal energy is both feasible and economical in Germany. Compared to the mentioned Molasse basin in south Germany, the geological setting is much more complex in the Rhine-Ruhr region. Based on a typical geothermal gradient of 30 °C/km, the optimal depth of a reservoir should be between 3000 m to 5000 m. In this depth, carbonate layers from Devonian times were identified in NRW. Due to the lack of accessibility, minor reservoir characterization was done, yet. Therefore, a geological model which reflects local lithological properties is essential for further geothermal projects. The model of the Rhine-Ruhr region is based on field surveys, top formations, geological sections and maps, respectively. The geometrical model is supplemented by rock properties, like density, porosity, and P- respectively S- wave velocities.

  • Islamic Middle East
    THE MEDIEVAL ISLAMIC MIDDLE EAST THE MEDIEVAL ‘A splendid and much needed analysis of how notions of sanctity were TIME IN AND SACRED PLACE SACRED DANIELLA TALMON-HELLER translated into time and space. Talmon-Heller musters an impressive range of sources to reconstruct what sacred time and sacred space meant to Muslim communities in the pre-Ottoman Middle East.’ Konrad Hirschler, Freie Universität Berlin SACRED PLACE Explores the construction of sanctity and its AND manifestations in individual devotions, state ceremonies and communal rites SACRED TIME This book offers a fresh perspective on religious culture in the medieval Middle East. It investigates how Muslims thought about and practised at sacred spaces and in sacred times through two detailed case studies: the shrines in honour of the head of al-Husayn IN THE MEDIEVAL (the martyred grandson of the Prophet); and the (arguably) holy month of Rajab. Daniella Talmon-Heller explores the diverse expressions of the veneration of the shrines and the month, and the opposition of these cults, from the formative period of Islam until the late Mamluk period. She pays particular attention to changing political and ISLAMIC sectarian affiliations and to the development of new genres of religious literature. And she juxtaposes the sanctification of space and time in individual and communal Sunni, Ithna‘ashari and Isma‘ili piety. MIDDLE EAST Key Features • Draws on a wide variety of primary material: narrative and documentary sources, travelogues, epigraphic and material evidence, and legal, devotional and prescriptive religious literature A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE • Offers ‘long durée’ treatment of religious phenomena examining both continuity and change • Integrates the study of religious thought, practice and literature within changing historical contexts TALMON-HELLER DANIELLA TALMON-HELLER is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Middle East Studies at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
