Show moreThis study was commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the AFCO Committee. It examines the evolving role of the European Council in the EU’s constitutional structure. As the study demonstrates, the increasing tendency of theEuropean Council to instruct other EU institutions and its limited accountability have established an increasing gap between its de jure role under the EU Treaties and its de facto power in the larger system of EU governance.

Show moreThis database contains the complete text of the R̥gveda, aligned with two translations, a German one by Karl Friedrich Geldner (Der Rig-Veda aus dem Sanskrit ins Deutsche übersetzt und mit einem laufenden Kommentar versehen, Cambridge (Mass.), 1951-1957) and an English one by Ralph T. H. Griffith (The hymns of the Rigveda, translated with a popular commentary, Benares, 1889-1891).The text represents the 1877 edition by Th. Aufrecht (Die Hymnen des Ṛigveda, Bonn), but with one major difference: it is divided into pādas and the sandhi at the pāda boundary has been removed if the context were otherwise unclear. For instance, a -ḥ is added which was lost in sandhi, the contracted vowels are divided, etc. Wherever the original text was altered, I have introduced a dash at the end of the pāda. If the beginning was changed too, I have added yet another dash at the beginning of the pāda. Show less

Show moreFor every word form of the R̥gveda (RV), this concordance provides its frequency and the text of all pādas in which it occurs. The concordance is primarily a tool for studying R̥gvedic metrical phenomena and R̥gvedic formulae. It can also be used for investigating syntax and semantics of the RV, but the context of one pāda is often too limited for that purpose and does not always contain sufficient syntactic and semantic information. Therefore, every pāda of the concordance provides a link to the text of the whole R̥gvedic stanza with two translations, a German one by Geldner and an English one by Griffith. Show less

Show moreThis volume explores the rise of immersive technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and 360 videos in the newsroom and how they affect newsmaking for journalists, news sources, and audiences. As these technologies offer journalists new and exciting opportunities to connect more deeply, emotionally, and presently with their audience, they also introduce unique ethical and practical questions concerning the collection and use of biometric, sensory, and metadata. Contributors analyze this shift from passive consumption to active engagement in order to investigate the positive and negative impacts that immersive technologies can have on journalistic norms, professional ethics, audience engagement, and data protection. Ultimately, this volume highlights both the potential for these technologies to redefine the relationship between news producers and consumers and the potential challenges their integration may pose. Scholars of journalism, communication, science & technology studies, and digital media will find this book particularly useful. Show less

Show moreThis book discusses theories of crisis management and the radical right, to shed light on how responses to crisis influence radical right parties in their presence, discourse, and evolution. The book offers a comparative perspective by examining case studies with various traditions of radical right actors, presenting data on how crisis exploitation can assist in exploring, reconsidering, bargaining, and learning about the prospects of change of political parties.The book focuses on the debate on radicalization and crisis management. Similar to the already existing economic, political, post-Brexit, and migration crises in Europe, discourses of fear around the latest health crisis are paving the way for further radicalised discourse from the far right. The book looks into how radical right parties in Europe have responded to these crises. It monitors and explores how crisis exploitation impacts political strategies, opportunity-seeking behaviours, and the evolution of the discourse of radical right parties in the contemporary political landscape.Therefore, this book is a must-read for researchers, students, and policy-makers, interested in a better understanding of populism, radical right parties, electoral studies, as well as comparative politics in general.
