This can lead to confusion in the understanding, interpretation and execution of the construction contract, which can result in significant disruption to the construction project. International Construction Contract Law is written for anyone who needs to understand the legal and managerial aspects of large international construction projects, including consulting engineers, lawyers, clients, developers, contractors and construction managers worldwide. In 18 chapters it provides a thorough overview of civil law /common law interrelationships, delivery methods, standard forms of contract, risk allocation, variations, claims and dispute resolution, all in the context of international construction projects. Highly practical in approach - it introduces legal analysis only when absolutely essential to understanding, the book also contains a range of useful appendices, including a 10-language basic dictionary of terms used in FIDIC forms"--Provided by publisher.Conflict of lawsContractsConstruction contractsContracts (International law)Conflict of lawsContracts.Construction contracts.Contracts (International law)343.07/8624LAW019000bisacshKlee Lukas882469MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910140509103321International construction contract law1971027UNINA04421nam 2200685 450 991078718580332120230803204639.03-11-034693-13-11-036794-710.1515/9783110346930(CKB)3710000000229135(EBL)1480476(SSID)ssj0001333605(PQKBManifestationID)11914135(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001333605(PQKBWorkID)11392484(PQKB)10500901(MiAaPQ)EBC1480476(DE-B1597)246490(OCoLC)900718459(OCoLC)913096140(DE-B1597)9783110346930(Au-PeEL)EBL1480476(CaPaEBR)ebr11010396(CaONFJC)MIL805678(OCoLC)890070987(EXLCZ)99371000000022913520150210h20142014 uy 0engur||#||||||||txtccrPlots, designs, and schemes American conspiracy theories from the puritans to the present /Michael ButterBerlin, [Germany] ;Boston, [Massachusetts] :De Gruyter,2014.©20141 online resource (332 p.)linguae & litterae,1869-7054 ;Volume 33Description based upon print version of record.3-11-030759-6 Includes bibliographical references.Front matter --Acknowledgements --Contents --Introduction --Chapter 1.

"Masters of Deceit": Conspiracy Theory in the Great Red Scare of the 1950's --Conclusion: To the Margins (and Back Again?) --Works CitedPlots, Designs, and Schemes is the first study that investigates the long history of American conspiracy theories from the perspective of literary and cultural studies. Since research in these fields has so far almost exclusively focused on the contemporary period, the book concentrates on the time before 1960. Four detailed case studies offer close readings of the Salem witchcraft crisis of 1692, fears of Catholic invasion during the 1830's to 1850's, antebellum conspiracy theories about slavery, and anxieties about Communist subversion during the 1950's. The study primarily engages with factual texts, such as sermons, pamphlets, political speeches, and confessional narratives, but it also analyzes how fears of conspiracy were dramatized and negotiated in fictional texts, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown (1835) or Hermann Melville's Benito Cereno (1855). The book offers three central insights: 1. The American predilection for conspiracy theorizing can be traced back to the co-presence and persistence of a specific epistemological paradigm that relates all effects to intentional human action, the ideology of republicanism, and the Puritan heritage. 2. Until far into the twentieth century, conspiracy theories were considered a perfectly legitimate form of knowledge. As such, they shaped how many Americans, elites as well as "common" people, understood and reacted to historical events. The Revolutionary War and the Civil War would not have occurred without widespread conspiracy theories. 3. Although most extant research claims the opposite, conspiracy theories have never been as marginal and unimportant as in the past decades. Their disqualification as stigmatized knowledge only occurred around 1960, and coincided with a shift from theories that detect conspiracies directed against the government to conspiracies by the government.Linguae & litterae ;Volume 33.Conspiracy theoriesUnited StatesConspiracy theories.Narrative structures.USA.Conspiracy theories001.9HT 1691rvkButter Michael1156366Butter MichaelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787185803321Plots, designs, and schemes3838533UNINA
