Sommario/riassunto

Wie kann man Städte effektiv und schnell klimafreundlich umgestalten? Der Wissensaustausch zwischen Kommunen sowie die Nachahmung bewährter Praktiken gilt als Schlüssel zur »grünen Transformation«. Am Beispiel der Regierungstechnologie »Best Practice« stellt Nanja Nagorny-Koring den weit verbreiteten Glauben an das »Prinzip der Nachahmung« grundsätzlich in Frage und entwirft ein Bild davon, warum Best Practices trotz des offensichtlichen Auseinanderklaffens von Anspruch und Wirklichkeit so populär sind. Sie stellt detailliert dar, wie Best Practices im kommunalen Klimaschutz entstehen, verbreitet und angewendet werden.

Sommario/riassunto

In this book Edward McDonald takes a fresh look at issues of language in Chinese studies. He takes the viewpoint of the university student of Chinese with the ultimate goal of becoming 'sinophone': that is, developing a fluency and facility at operating in Chinese-language contexts comparable to their own mother tongue. While the entry point for most potential sinophones is the Chinese language classroom, the kinds of ""language"" and ""culture"" on offer there are rarely questioned, and the links between the forms of the language and the situations in which they may be used are rarely draw
