Law in the time that remains – law’s eschatology

One way of making sense of what is happening in international law today is to read it as a political theology; and as such a continuation of secularized Christian theological institutions. This paper is a reading of jus ad bellum (and just war tradition), jus in bello, and jus post bellum as an eschatology of international law. In order to illustrate my argument I will use the invasion and subsequ

Effective field theories in nuclear particle and atomic physics

These are the proceedings of the workshop on ``Effective Field Theories in Nuclear, Particle and Atomic Physics'' held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, Bad Honnef, Germany from December 13 to 17, 2005. The workshop concentrated on Effective Field Theory in many contexts. A first part was concerned with Chiral Perturbation Theory in its various settings an

A novel approach to balanced truncation of nonlinear systems

This paper addresses the problem of state reduction of nonlinear continuous-time systems. A novel method that relates to balanced truncation is presented and applied to examples. The method is computationally efficient and is applicable to relatively large systems.

Learning for safety - Improving effectiveness of scenario-based exercises

Society protects its citizens against crises and emergencies. Emergency management, and particularly preparedness for emergency response, can be strengthened through the use of scenario-based exercises. Since such exercises are expensive, it is of common interest to make efficient use of their results. One way to enhance existing methods for scenario-based exercise is to improve their learning eff

The authors argue that the currently debated options of a future European foreign policy towards the United States – either providing an anti-hege­monic alternative (balancing) or being Washington’s junior partner (band­wagoning) – lack both theoretical foundation and practical feasibility. In­stead, in order to be acknowledged as a major player in world politics, the EU should adopt a strategy wh
