"Americans are unlikely to lose their cherished rights because of a military coup or a foreign conquest, writes Michael Lind. The more plausible and frightening scenario is one in which foreign danger forces Americans themselves to jettison their way of life, sacrificing liberty to ensure security. To prevent this scenario from happening is the real purpose of American strategy."

Widely reviewed and critically praised, Emmanuel Todd's After the Empire predicts that the United States is forfeiting its superpower status as it moves away from traditional democratic values of egalitarianism and universalism, lives far beyond its means economically, and continues to anger foreign allies and enemies alike with its military and ideological policies. As America's global dominance evaporates, Todd foresees the emergence of a Eurasian alliance bringing together Europe, Russia, Japan, and the Arab-Islamic world.Todd calmly and straightforwardly takes stock of many negative trends, including America's weakened commitment to the socio-economic integration of African Americans, a bulimic economy that increasingly relies on smoke and mirrors and the goodwill of foreign investors, and a foreign policy that squanders the country's reserves of "soft power" while its militaristic arsonist-fireman behavior is met with increasing resistance. Written by a demographer and historian who foresaw the collapse of the Soviet Union, this original and daring book cannot be ignored.

Bush, it threatens the future of the United States - and maybe the entire world." "Fortunately, George W. Bush represents only one tradition in Texas. There is another, more enlightened Texan tradition - the modernist tradition of high-tech industry and activist government represented by figures as different as Lyndon Johnson, H. Ross Perot and Admiral Bobby Ray Inman. The best antidote to Bush conservatism is made in Texas, too."--BOOK JACKET.

Das vorliegende Buch bietet neben einer übersichtlichen Einführung in die neue europäische Gesellschaftsform vor allem eine eingehende Ausei-nandersetzung mit dem vom Europäischen Gesetzgeber für diese Korpo-rationsform gewählten Regelungskonzept. Dabei wird das komplexe Zu-sammenspiel von europäischem, nationalem und gesellschaftsindividuel-lem Satzungsrecht strukturiert analysiert und in verständlicher Weise dargestellt. Trotz der dogmatischen Ausrichtung des Buches ist es gerade für Praktika empfehlenswert. Es nimmt nämlich einerseits zu zahlreichen konkreten Rechtsfragen, die insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der Gründung auftreten, Stellung und zeigt andererseits den Gestaltungsspiel-raum für die Satzung einer Europäischen Aktiengesellschaft klar auf. Au-ßerdem wird auch der Gestaltungsspielraum für den nationalen Gesetz-geber in Form von Anregungen für das nationale Ausführungsgesetz zum Statut der Europäischen Aktiengesellschaft anschaulich präsentiert.
