The central reference point of the volume is Heinz-Joachim Heydorn's essay "Survival Through Education - Outline of a prospect" (1974), which was translated into English and subsequently made available to a broad public for the first time. Despite the time gap of almost 50 years, Heydorn's text is fascinating, because the survival of humanity - at least a qualitatively substantial survival of humanity - seems extremely questionable today. Researchers with different theoretical perspectives question the text on its contemporary content and put their interpretations up for discussion.

After nearly two decades of war, on February 2020, the Trump administration signed an agreement with the Taliban through which the US and its NATO allies' troops must leave Afghanistan within the following few months. This agreement also paves the ground for Intra-Afghan talks between the US backed Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the Taliban militant group. This book critically reviews the US/NATO military, peace-and-statebuilding intervention since 2001 in Afghanistan. In addition, based on collected field interviews, it presents the Afghan perception and discourse on the topics such as democracy, Islam, women rights, formal and informal governance, ethnic divide and the state democratic governmental design at the national and subnational level.

In unserer hochtechnisierten Welt verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Maschine in zahlreichen Bereichen der Wissenschaft, der Arbeit und des Alltagslebens immer mehr. Diese Verflechtungen beeinflussen unser tagliches Leben und stellen Moglichkeiten, aber auch Einschrankungen, Chancen und Herausforderungen dar.

Wie wirken sich Digitalisierung und Kunstliche Intelligenz in der Lebens- und Arbeitswelt auf die Geschlechterverhaltnisse aus?

How is it possible to sustainably implement the ideas of the Right Livelihood Award - also known as the "e;Alternative Nobel Prize"e; - in educational and teaching methods of learning as part of future-oriented teacher training? This book addresses this issue in the form of a combination of articles from both an academic and school-related point of view. Education researchers, subject educationalists, expert scientists and teacher trainers present exemplary formats with which prospective teachers can be qualified for the wide-ranging requirements imposed on them as part of globalization and internationalization. In the formats, the contents of Right Livelihood - especially questions concerning ecology, social justice and peace - are addressed in a manner that is age-appropriate and related to experience. Moreover they are dealt with in an interdisciplinary context. The objective is to jointly incorporate the subject of Global Learning as Part of Education for Sustainable Development in the teacher education course and to realize it directly at the chalk face.
