Relatively robust decisions
It is natural for humans to judge the outcome of a decision under uncertainty as a percentage of an ex-post optimal performance. We propose a robust decision-making framework based on a relative performance index. It is shown that if the decision maker’s preferences satisfy quasisupermodularity, single-crossing, and a nondecreasing log-differences property, the worst-case relative performance index can be represented as the lower envelope of two …

The Pre-1914 Origins of Hitler’s Antisemitism Revisited
This article revisits the origins of Adolf Hitler's antisemitism. It raises the question as to whether it is really credible to argue that Hitler did not harbor antisemitic sentiments prior to the post-revolutionary period following World War One. The article introduces readers to hitherto unknown testimony by Elisabeth Grünbauer, the daughter of the family with whom Hitler lodged in Munich prior to the First World War. According to her testimony…

Stipendienstiftungen und der Zugang zu hoherer Bildung in Deutschland von 1800 bis 1960
Thomas Adam's book provides a concise and solid treatment of a forgotten chapter in both the history of German academia and the history of German civil society: the history of student funding between 1800 and 1960. The author argues persuasively that contrary to popular belief—according to which, Germany, unlike the United States, has no tradition of philanthropic giving to institutions of higher education—Germany has a rich history of philanthro…
Wissensvermittlung in medialer Transformation
Wie gehen wir in Zukunft mit Wissen um? Wie sehen die neuen Schnittstellen zwischen Medien und Bildung aus? Welche Konsequenzen hat dies für unser Selbstverständnis (unsere >Identität Bildungskrise<, die tradierte Bildungseinrichtungen wie Schule (siehe PISA) und Universität (siehe Bologna-Reformen) trifft und die Frage nach dem Stellenwert, nach neuen Leitwerten für diese Institutionen aufwirft. Dabei handelt es sich nicht allein um neue Konzept…

Gandhian Philosophy, Conflict Resolution Theory and Practical Approaches to Negotiation
It is puzzling that links between Gandhian social philosophy and recent conflict resolution/negotiation literature, especially given the latter's Gandhian `flavour', have received so little scholarly attention. While there seems to be no direct causal link between the two bodies of knowledge, conflict resolution literature in the guise of modern problem-solving and win-win (as opposed to power-based and zerosum) approaches leading to integrative …
From Maude Royden's Peace Army to the Gulf Peace Team
From Maude Royden's `Peace Army' in the 1930s to the recent Gulf Peace Team, there has been a rich but little known history of attempted unarmed interpositionary peace-keeping. Most of these initiatives have stalled at the proposal stage primarily because of a lack of money and the absence of international organizational and logistical support. The Gulf Peace Team was perhaps the least well thought through attempt; however, it did manage, for the…
