Focusing on the dynamics of global inequalities, this book features contributions from historical sociologists and geographers who analyze contemporary disparities in power, wealth, and income through a historical lens. The geographers explore the impact of geopolitics and warfare on the modern world-system, while sociologists address efforts to uplift impoverished communities and tackle sustainability challenges. This research aims to provide insights and strategies for addressing global inequality in the 21st century.

Triggered by the profound financial and economic crises, increasing ecological degradation, rising social struggles, and political and military conflicts, the structures of the world political economy seem to be, in the early 21st century, in a process of epoch-making transformation. Employing a world-historical and comparative perspective, this book's contributions deal with three core issues of global structures and dynamics: the degree of stability and change of global hierarchical structures and economic and social inequalities; the transformation of global and national political structures; and the global ecological change and its impact on the structures of the world economy, the world polity, and the world society.

The global financial and economic crisis started in 2008 with the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Four years later, despite massive national and international countermeasures, it is still not over. This volume examines the considerable economic, social and political consequences of the present global crisis for world society. In particular, the 16 contributions focus on three central issues: Firstly, crisis impacts on world society structures and evolutionary dynamics, secondly, crisis perceptions and public discourses with their social and political consequences and, thirdly, experience of the global crisis at local and regional levels, as well as the responses to it.

Das Dienstbarkeitsrecht beschäftigt die juristische Praxis und insbesondere die schweizerischen Gerichte fortlaufend. Ob Weg-, Überbau-, Durchleitungsrecht oder Bauverbot: hinter Grundbucheinträgen verstecken sich viele potentielle Streitfragen. Diese Masterarbeit legt die Grundlagen des Dienstbarkeitsrechts dar und zeigt auf, nach welchen Prinzipien die Rechtsprechung bei der Beurteilung von Streitigkeiten mit Dienstbarkeitsbezug vorgeht. Anhand der Vorstellung von neueren Entscheidungen des Bundesgerichts verdeutlicht das Werk die hohe Praxisrelevanz des Themas, weist auf Stolpersteine hin und gibt Empfehlungen ab, um Unklarheiten von Anfang an zu vermeiden.
