Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Since the starting of accession talks in 3 October 2005, Turkey's bid to the European Union has been a long contested debate. This book analyzes the European Union's CFSP and Turkey's relations with the EU from a rational institutionalist perspective. What is known as the European Union today has come a long way from being merely trade club to an economic and political entity on its own right. Within this respect, the research question in this book demonstrates that, the European Union started out with an administrative body to manage the common market on steel and coal, and in less than a half- century turned out to be a complex network of institutions where member states transferred some of their competences to this supranational level. In the EU's urge to form a more robust common foreign and security policy, a possible inclusion of Turkey in the EU will bring strategic benefits as well as possible costs linked with it. In other words, the Turkish accession to the EU will bring substantial material benefits to European security and this acts as a factor influencing member state preferences, and to a certain extent the public's view towards Turkey.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A major obstacle to growth in poor countries is known to be the lack of access to bank credit, especially in rural areas, where a large majority of individuals do not have adequate collateral to secure a loan. Starting with the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and FINCA village banking in Latin America, development policy makers have embraced group lending as a possible alternative for lenders to provide credit to the poor. Group lending typically links the fate of borrowers by stipulating that if one borrower within a group fails to repay her / his loan, the others in the group must repay it for her / him. However, what factors affect group performance and, in particular, how do distance, ¿social capital¿ and heterogeneity affect performance, promptitude in paying and saving capability This empirical analysis attempts to address the above question by employing an original dataset, collected by the author during the months of April-June 2006 among the clients of FINCA Uganda. This work should be especially useful to researchers, policy makers, and all those who are interested in development in general, and in microcredit in particular.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book discusses the fundamental theory of organic and inorganic solar cells, their applications, properties and basic differences. Light absorption in inorganic materials results in the production of a free electron hole pair or recombination. Because of the high electron quality of mono-crystalline silicon and multi-crystalline silicon, cells with stable and reasonably high efficiencies can be prepared using these materials. Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) solar cells are based on molecular or polymeric organic compounds as active parts of solar cells which exhibit power conversion efficiencies of only up to 8.3%. The physical processes that lead to photo-current generation in OPV cells include the donor-acceptor hetero-junction for efficient dissociation and transport of excitons. A fundamental difference between organic solar cells and conventional inorganic solar cells is that light absorption results in the formation of excitons in molecular materials, rather than in free electron-hole pairs (semiconductor). Due to its electrical neutrality and the strong binding energy between the hole and the electron, organic cell can be regarded as a mobile excited state.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This work explores the association of social networksin understanding likelihood transitions principallyinto work or training and education achieved byclients in Scotland, and considers the context withinwhich access to and mobilisation of social capitalleads to successful employment status. From thisperspective, the aim is to statistically evaluate theWorking for Families program run by Scottish Government to help vulnerable and disadvantaged parents in some of most deprived areas in Scotland into sustained employment and training. Theevaluation was obtained with aid of statistical methods, such as: exploratory analysis, cluster analysis and binomial logistic regression. According to the analyses, it was found that none of the socialnetwork variables had significant impact on theclients¿ achieving transitions. The reason behindthis finding might be relying upon the small samplesize and large amount of missing data, but mainlyshould be due to that the clients were too poor toaccess their social capital or they did have accessbut could not mobilise it. The target audience ofthis work may comprise scholars, policy makers andresearchers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.
