Operation Deliberate Force, conducted between 30 August and 20 September 1995, was the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's air campaign to advance the cause of peace in the Balkans region. This study of that campaign examines how and with what considerations the planners and executors of Deliberate Force linked military operations with the goals they were charged to attain. In 16 essays, 11 contributors discuss the geopolitical, sociological, diplomatic, technological, and operational factors that shaped the characteristics and outcome of Deliberate Force and, in so doing, identify the implications of this air campaign for future conflicts.

Straight spine. -- This study undertakes an exploration of the mechanisms and effects of horror fiction, positing that the genre's primary intention is to evoke terror or horror in readers. It embarks on a dual-path investigation, first delving into the historical and theoretical foundations of horror and terror, tracing the evolution of these concepts through key figures in literature and philosophy from Joseph Addison and Edmund Burke to H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King. This historical analysis is interwoven with insights from psychology (Freud, Festinger), anthropology (Leach, Douglas), and comparative religion (Blumenberg), constructing an interdisciplinary framework to understand the pervasive sense of disestablishment that horror fiction exploits. The role of the reader is central, with the study arguing that horror's efficacy lies in its ability to challenge the reader's worldview by crafting a believable, terrifying narrative world. The investigation then shifts to an exemplary analysis of contemporary horror novels, dissecting the basic horror formula and its variations through works by Dean R. Koontz, Whitley Strieber, Stephen King (in multiple works), Dan Simmons, Clive Barker, Patrick McGrath, and Thomas Harris. These analyses illuminate recurrent plot structures, the handling of the supernatural, and specific narrative techniques that contribute to the genre's terrifying effects. The study identifies thematic preoccupations such as the blurring of boundaries (between human and animal, reality and fantasy, life and death) and the adaptability of horror tropes (vampirism, lycanthropy) across different narrative contexts. The final segment of the study mounts a defense of horror fiction, countering criticisms of the genre by examining the psychological and social functions it serves. It argues that horror literature provides a controlled environment where readers can confront and process fears, violence, and the unknown, thereby serving a cathartic and reflective purpose. By challenging readers' perceptions and moral boundaries, horror fiction is shown to be not merely a form of entertainment but a significant cultural and literary force. The study concludes by situating horror fiction as a mirror to societal anxieties, suggesting its value lies in its ability to reflect and critique the zeitgeist, making it a terribly effective tool for social commentary and personal introspection.

Softcover. Condition: neu. 1. Auflage. Strafrecht in Forschung und Praxis, Band 248 240 pages. This book is a remarkable interdisciplinary contribution to understanding corruption and in particular, to the meaning of criminal prevention. It impresses its reader by creatively combining a comparative law analysis of the criminal regulation of corruption with a behavioral economic interpretation of the different regulation models and an independently designed laboratory experiment which examines the effects of symmetric and asymmetric penalties on persons involved in bribery. Actually there is not all that much comparative law on corruption. The economics of corruption is more developed, but as yet not grounded in legal expertise. That way, the book equally speaks to lawyers interested in criminal policy, and to experimental scholars interested in legal applications.
