Hardback. Condition: New. How did Norway become a highly successful liberal democracy? Will its prosperity and stability last, or has modern history been an exception? Is the Norwegian experience based on luck, or has a part been played by clever politicians and sound institutions, including a well-functioning rule of law? How does Norway combine social democracy with a market economy, and extensive foreign trade? Since the 1970s, Norway has become an oil-producing giant in Northern Europe--how can that role be reconciled with the realities of climate change, and increasing awareness of that crisis? This highly engaging book introduces Norwegian political and economic history to a broad audience, offering a deeper understanding of a country always looked upon with great interest, but perhaps not profoundly understood. The Norwegian Exception? takes the reader back through 200 years of state-building to explain Norway's current position as a top-ranking nation, and to consider its chances of keeping that status in the twenty-first century. In particular, it unpacks how Norwegian politics and governance have shaped the country's world-famous oil fund and unique relationship with the European Union. Leading historians Mathilde Fasting and Øystein Sørensen skilfully draw back the curtain on the inner workings of the Norwegian 'utopia'.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is an open access book. Probabilistic tsunami hazard and risk assessment (abbreviated as PTHA and PTRA, respectively) has evolved quickly over the past 10 to 15 years and now forms the basis of many risk mitigation efforts. Methods are largely based on those used for probabilistic hazard and risk assessment for earthquakes. However, while seismic risk can be represented by a single workflow, tsunami risk is characterized by a number of different and cascading workflows. Funded in parts by the COST Action CA18109 AGITHAR (2019-2023), a group of more than 120 experts gathered to advance the scientific basis for PTHA and PTRA. Amongst them were over 50 volunteering to contribute to this so-called cookbook for PTHA and PTRA.The aim of our cookbook is to give an overview of existing methods for PTHA and PTRA, to unify the description of named workflows, and to make best practices examples available to a wider community. We use the analogy of a cookbook, because we strive to describe the ingredients, i.e., the basic building blocks of PTHA and PTRA, and give examples of good recipes, i.e., well-designed workflows for concrete application fields. Furthermore, a cookbook gives inspiration but does not necessarily standardize methods. So, while this effort aims at some standardization of methodology, it gives enough freedom to build on this knowledge to further develop the field. The book is intended for scientists, but also practitioners and decision-makers in tsunami hazard and risk mitigation.…
