Often stressed? Hardly a quiet minute? Body and soul on strike? In this constantly changing time, there is a rapid risk of being thrown out of balance. The holistic consulting practice of systemic health promotion offers a solution: It uses joie de vivre as a "control parameter" and at the same time as a connecting element between health and illness. With short, effective and complexity-reducing counseling formats, she primarily helps people with psychological (secondary) illnesses to take preventive action. For the authors, systemic health promotion means much more than the absence of illness. Using case studies, they show how those affected can activate unused resources, increase their self-efficacy and resilience and find joy in life again. They encourage fear-free handling of disorders and thus expand the classic health promotion offers to include an equal view of the contexts of life, love and work.

The study of power is the nucleus of political science and international relations. As a shift of power from traditional industrial countries to emerging powers has been perceived since the turn of the century, this book aims to present innovative theoretical and empirical approaches that can increase our understanding of this transition. Scholars from the fields of international relations, international political economy, economics and security studies not only explore current theoretical debates on ‘power’ and ‘power shifts’ among entities, but also provide fresh insights into relevant aspects of international power in the 21st century. With a particular focus on aspects of international security, trade and production, new methods of identifying power and its sources are presented, and their potential implications and challenges are discussed.
