In September 1977 a 'Regional Science Symposium' was held at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Organized because of the recent establishment at the Faculty of Economics of a group that is engaged in teaching and research in the field of regional science, the aim of the symposium was to make university members more familiar with regional science and to introduce the newly­ created group to the national and international scene. Two separate topics were selected, of potential interest to both re­ searchers and policy-makers. The first, spatial inequalities and regional development, was chosen because of its central place in regional science. Authors from several disciplines were asked to approach this theme from a general, policy­ orientated point of view. This ensured the enlightenment of the various dimensions of spatial inequality and its implications for regional policy. The results have been collected in the volume Spatial Inequalities and Regional Development. The second theme focused on spatial statistical analysis. This branch of statistics is a relatively new one which receives growing attention among researchers in the field of applied regional science. The meeting on this topic concentrated on new results of research on the use of appro­ priate statistical and econometric methods for analyzing spatial data. The papers concerned have been collected into another volume, Explora­ tory and Explanatory Statistical Analysis of Spatial Data.

Gegen Rassismus, Antisemitismus und Ausländerfeindlichkeit! Dieses Werk bietet 68 Stundenentwürfe für die Fächer Religion, Deutsch, Politik und Musik – sowie zahlreiche Impulse für eine parteiliche Schulkultur. Es will Lehrerinnen und Lehrer ermutigen und konkret unterstützen:- sich im Unterricht verschiedener Fächer für Menschenrechte und Demokratie, gegen Hass und rechte Gewalt zu engagieren;- sich zusammen mit den Schülerinnen und Schülern in der Gestaltung der Klassen- und Schulgemeinschaft für ein menschenwürdiges Miteinander, gegen Intoleranz und Diskriminierung einzusetzen.Das Buch bietet einleitend eine knappe, aber kompakte Aufklärung über den Rechtsextremismus in Deutschland. Im Mittelpunkt stehen 16 Verlaufsplanungen für den Unterricht in der Sekundarstufe I. Für die Stundenentwürfe sind alle erforderlichen Materialien als Kopiervorlagen beigefügt. Darüber hinaus tragen die Autoren pragmatisch viele gut umsetzbare Vorschläge zusammen, um die schulische Erziehung und die Schulkultur so zu gestalten, dass möglichst alle ohne Angst verschieden sein können und die nachwachsende Generation weitgehend gegen rechtsextreme Gesinnungen immunisiert wird.Erstmals wird damit für die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Rechtsextremismus ein schulpädagogisches Gesamtkonzept präsentiert, das den Bildungsauftrag, den schulischen Erziehungsauftrag und die Gestaltung der Schulkultur auf der Basis der Menschenrechte zusammenführt.

Die Diskussion um die Eignung der International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) für die Rechnungslegung mittelständischer Unternehmen gewinnt durch das Vorhaben des IASB, mit dem IFRS for Private Entities einen eigenen Rechnungslegungsstandard für mittelständische Unternehmen zu veröffentlichen, an Brisanz. Der deutsche Gesetzgeber antwortet auf diese Internationalisierungstendenzen mit dem Bilanzrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz, welches die Stellung des deutschen Bilanzrechts als dauerhafte Alternative zu den Rechnungslegungsnormen des IASB festigen soll. Jan Janssen untersucht, welches Rechungslegungssystem sich unter Berücksichtigung der spezifischen Anforderungen mittelständischer Unternehmen als überlegen erweist, in dem er die Eignung der Regelwerke für die mittelständische Rechnungslegung mit Hilfe eines Systems von Beurteilungskriterien würdigt. Dabei finden sowohl der vom IASB als Entwurf publizierte IFRS for Private Entities als auch das Bilanzrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz Beachtung.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), founded in 1998, is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation established to ensure a stable and secure global Internet. As the custodian of the Domain Name System (DNS), one of its key responsibilities is the introduction and promotion of competition in Internet-related markets, an aim which ICANN has tried to achieve through the delegation of generic top-level domains (gTLDs). This book investigates how successful ICANN has been in achieving this goal.

Over the years, ICANN has been required to decide on a substantial number of complaints from applicants for gTLDs related to capture, arbitrariness, discrimination, and unwarranted restriction of competition. This book is the first detailed study of complaints related to ICANN decisions that have been brought using ICANN''s Independent Review Process (IRP). The authors - preeminent expert practitioners in international litigation and arbitration related to Internet governance - take a close look at how ICANN has handled the major issues raised and how ICANN has shaped its own accountability mechanisms. The book also weighs the influence of external accountability on ICANN’s decision-making process and considers the implications of third-party decisions (such as IRP decisions) for the ongoing development of the Internet.

This authoritative analysis covers:

• the regulatory framework governing ICANN and the introduction of new gTLDs in a historic perspective;• ICANN’s accountability framework;• all the IRP cases that have been decided to date, with an in-depth analysis of those cases that have become reference decisions in the latest application round; and• the 2016 amendments to ICANN’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, concentrating on the problems that remain unresolved.

This work is a welcome addition to the debate on how to address the shortcomings in ICANN’s accountability in the interests of the global Internet community. The authors make concrete proposals and recommendations, suggesting changes to ICANN’s regulatory framework in the light of the lessons learned and with a view to preventing similar problems arising in a next round of gTLD applications. This book has the potential to become the Green Book for fundamental changes to ICANN’s accountability framework.
