Conclusions .“A welcome and relevant study with an innovate approach, this book provides a sharp insight into processes of business-politics relations within Lithuanian society and does so from a wide perspective. A well-designed research that gives the ability to grasp the depth of the problems and makes a useful reading both for researchers and international policy makers.” Laurynas Pakštaitis, Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania Ainius Lašas reveals the world of informal networks and shady arrangements that represent the blind spots of mainstream political science. He guides us through “backstage democracy” in a theoretically competent and empirically responsible manner. His understanding of informal politics is unique and his conclusions make us hope that the marriage of business and politics does not inevitably result in “dirty togetherness.” Jan Zielonka, Professor of European Politics at the University of Oxford, UK, and Ca'Foscari University of Venice, Italy This book investigates how the actual dynamics of business-state relations work in a democracy and their changes overtime. The focus is limited to one country because access to high-level sources, who are able to openly discuss the nature of the business-politics nexus, cannot be easily replicated. The study is distinctive in a number of ways. First, its focus on politics and business touches upon a number of academic disciplines – business sciences, political science, public policy and administration. Second, it is not limited to a static picture of a relatively new democracy, but instead examines the dynamics of change over the last twenty years. As such, it talks to situations in a number of other countries, especially those in Central and Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet space. Third, the methodological approach, which combines anonymous interviews, mass media sources, governmental and non-governmental reports, is not very typical andthus provides a relatively fresh perspective on studying such social phenomena. Finally, the study offers original theoretical and analytical frames that can be conveniently applied and tested in other national/regional contexts. Ainius Lašas is the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities at Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. His research focuses on informal political culture and its practices in transitional democracies. .Political Corruption and Governance,2947-5457EuropePolitics and governmentPolitical scienceBusinessManagement scienceEuropean PoliticsGovernance and GovernmentBusiness and ManagementEuropePolitics and government.Political science.Business.Management science.European Politics.Governance and Government.Business and Management.330.94793Lašas Ainius1121888MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910686785303321Backstage Democracy3088265UNINA04020nam 22005655 450 991063391880332120251113193927.0981-19-6434-310.1007/978-981-19-6434-3(MiAaPQ)EBC7151632(Au-PeEL)EBL7151632(CKB)25554171000041(OCoLC)1356008553(DE-He213)978-981-19-6434-3(EXLCZ)992555417100004120221202d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierQualitative Properties of Dispersive PDEs /edited by Vladimir Georgiev, Alessandro Michelangeli, Raffaele Scandone1st ed. 2022.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (246 pages)Springer INdAM Series,2281-5198 ;52Print version: Georgiev, Vladimir Qualitative Properties of Dispersive PDEs Singapore : Springer,c2023 9789811964336 Includes bibliographical references and index.Part I: Long-time behavior of NLS-type equations -- 1 Scipio Cuccagna, Note on small data soliton selection for nonlinear Schrödinger equations with potential -- 2 Jacopo Bellazzini and Luigi Forcella, Dynamics of solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates -- Part II: Probabilistic and nonstandard methods in the study of NLS equations -- 3 Renato Luca, Almost sure pointwise convergence of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on T^2 -- 4 Nevena Dugandžija and Ivana Vojnović, Nonlinear Schrödinger equation with singularities -- Part III: Dispersive properties -- 5 Vladimir Georgiev, Alessandro Michelangeli, Raffaele Scandone, Schrödinger flow's dispersive estimates in a regime of re-scaled potentials -- 6 Federico Cacciafesta, Eric Sere, Junyong Zhang, Dispersive estimates for the Dirac-Coulomb equation -- 7 Matteo Gallone, Alessandro Michelangeli, Eugenio Pozzoli, Heat equation with inverse-square potential of bridging type across twohalf-lines -- Part IV: Wave and Kdv-type equations -- 8 Felice Iandoli, On the Cauchy problem for quasi-linear Hamiltonian KdV-type equations -- 9 Vladimir Georgiev and Sandra Lucente, Linear and nonlinear interaction for wave equations with time variable coefficients -- 10 Matteo Gallone and Antonio Ponno, Hamiltonian field theory close to the wave equation: from Fermi-Pasta-Ulam to water waves.This book provides a valuable collection of contributions by distinguished scholars presenting the state of the art and some of the most significant latest developments and future challenges in the field of dispersive partial differential equations. The material covers four major lines: (1) Long time behaviour of NLS-type equations, (2) probabilistic and nonstandard methods in the study of NLS equation, (3) dispersive properties for heat-, Schrödinger-, and Dirac-type flows, (4) wave and KdV-type equations. Across a variety of applications an amount of crucial mathematical tools are discussed, whose applicability and versatility goes beyond the specific models presented here. Furthermore, all contributions include updated and comparative literature.Springer INdAM Series,2281-5198 ;52Differential equationsFunctional analysisDifferential EquationsFunctional AnalysisDifferential equations.Functional analysis.Differential Equations.Functional Analysis.515.35Michelangeli AlessandroScandone RaffaeleGeorgiev VladimirMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910633918803321Qualitative properties of dispersive PDEs3084141UNINA
