Next to that it acts as a companion during your thesis research. After introducing you to the philosophy of scientific research, subsequent chapters each contribute to the different phases of your research.

Victims of International Crimes An Interdisciplinary Discourse


Free Download Victims of International Crimes: An Interdisciplinary Discourse By Thorsten Bonacker, Christoph Safferling (auth.), Thorsten Bonacker, Christoph Safferling (eds.)
2013 | 399 Pages | ISBN: 9067049115 | PDF | 4 MB
In international law victims’ issues have gained more and more attention over the last decades. In particular in transitional justice processes the victim is being given high priority. It is to be seen in this context that the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court foresees a rather excessive victim participation concept in criminal prosecution. In this volume issue is taken at first with the definition of victims, and secondly with the role of the victim as a witness and as a participant. Several chapters address this matter with a view to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) and the Trial against Demjanjuk in Germany. In a third part the interests of the victims outside the criminal trial are being discussed. In the final part the role of civil society actors are being tackled. This volume thus gives an overview of the role of victims in transitional justice processes from an interdisciplinary angle, combining academic research and practical experience.

Interdisciplinary Research on Close Relationships The Case for Integration


Free Download Lorne J Campbell PhD, "Interdisciplinary Research on Close Relationships: The Case for Integration"
English | ISBN: 1433810727 | 2011 | 296 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book argues that close personal relationships are most fruitfully explored through interdisciplinary collaboration. Such cooperation permits researchers to integrate a variety of perspectives on how close relationships develop, function, and interact in various contexts. The contributors examine aspects of both early and adult relationships, and of parent-child relationships. Their chapters demonstrate how theorists and researchers versed in developmental, social, and cross-cultural psychology, as well as evolutionary science, individual differences, and psychophysiology, can collaborate and generate new thinking on familiar topics.

Ways of Knowing Ten Interdisciplinary Essays


Free Download Mary Lindemann, "Ways of Knowing: Ten Interdisciplinary Essays"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 0391041843 | PDF | pages: 243 | 30.7 mb
"Knowing" itself is a problematic concept and what was once seen as the clear objective of "knowing," that is to discover "truth" or "reality," has become increasingly less certain. This is even more the case when scholars move from the present to examine epistemology in the past. Two fundamental questions arise: What constituted knowledge in the context of early modern Germany and how was knowledge gathered, assembled, organized, deployed, and interpreted? Ways of Knowing seeks to answer these questions. Taking their cues from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives, including art, German literature, social, political, medical, and religious history, the contributors offer readers a rich and insightful portrait of knowing and knowledge in early modern Germany. Investigators look at what people "knew" in early modern Germany and how they "knew" it. Four essays in part one consider how knowledge was created and organized. In part two, six authors examine how knowledge was evaluated and how it functioned, especially in the realms of belief, law, politics, and medicine.

Ranging geographically from Ireland to the Arab world and from Iceland to Byzantium and chronologically from the fourth century CE to the sixteenth, the essays explore perceptions and theories of water through a wide range of approaches.
