Free Download Datenschutz in Europa und den USA: Eine rechtsvergleichende Untersuchung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Safe-Harbor-Lösung By Alexander Genz (auth.)
2004 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 3824421852 | PDF | 13 MB
Dass der Schutz personenbezogener Daten nicht nur eine nationale, sondern vielmehr eine globale Aufgabe ist, wurde spätestens mit der allgemeinen kommerziellen Nutzung des Internets deutlich. Unterschiedliche nationale Schutzstandards können jedoch erhebliche Handelshemmnisse darstellen. Dieser Gefahr begegnet die Europäische Gemeinschaft durch die Harmonisierung des Datenschutzrechts, die zugleich Mindeststandards für den Datentransfer in Drittstaaten setzt. Alexander Genz untersucht, welche Standards Drittstaaten einhalten müssen, um die in der EG-Datenschutzrichtlinie vorgesehene Transferhürde der "Angemessenheit" überwinden zu können. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt er das Datenschutzrecht der USA, des größten Handelspartners Europas, ausführlich und differenziert dar. Die von der EG-Kommission und dem US-amerikanischen Handelsministerium ausgehandelte "Safe-Harbor-Lösung" zur Behebung der Defizite im US-amerikanischen Datenschutz wird analysiert und bewertet. Es wird deutlich, dass diese Lösung zwar zu Recht als unbefriedigend kritisiert wird, sie aber durchaus ausreichenden Schutz bietet.

Free Download Brian Morton, "Woodrow Wilson: USA "
English | ISBN: 1905791623 | 2008 | 256 pages | EPUB | 1482 KB
Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924). It is September 1919 – a meeting hall in a small mid-Western city. A thin man is speaking to a sceptical audience about peace. He has already met the city fathers and has been warned that ‘out here’ what happens in Europe means very little. Even the late war scarcely impinged on the place, though it had been recognised that it hadn’t been altogether good for trade and one or two local boys had died on the fields of France in the very last days of the conflict. The speaker was obviously impassioned, with a preacher’s cadence to his voice, and particularly so when he promoted the idea of an international League of Nations to guarantee future peace and ensure that the war into which America had been lured in 1917 really was ‘a war to end all wars’. It is noticed that the man is sweating and pale and that he pauses frequently to dab his lips. The price of his campaign for peace – and peace conducted with principle – seems to be a terrible struggle between strong belief on the one hand and failing reserves on the other. Woodrow Wilson will live for another five years, but his battle to convince America to join the League is lost and much of the vigour that marked his time as President of his country, as president of Princeton University, even as an enthusiastic college football coach, was left behind in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. This book will look at the life of Wilson, from his early years during the American Civil War, through his academic and political career and America’s involvement in the First World War, to Wilson’s role at Versailles, including the construction of his Fourteen Points, his principles for the reformation of Europe, and the consequences of Versailles for America and on later conflicts.

Free Download Michael Schlemmer, "Die Hypothekenkrise in den USA und ihre Auswirkungen"
Deutsch | 2008 | pages: 52 | ISBN: 383666755X | PDF | 0,5 mb
Kaum ein anderes Thema wird in den letzten Monaten von der Medienwelt so intensiv behandelt wie die Hypothekenkrise in den USA. Meldungen über Entlassungen, ungewöhnlich hohe Abschreibungen, Rekordverluste und Liquiditätsengpässe auf den Finanzmärkten verbreiten besonders unter Kapitalanlegern Unsicherheit. Betroffen ist dabei längst nicht nur der Hypothekenmarkt. Um einen Überblick zu bekommen, wer aus welchen Gründen an den turbulenten Geschehnissen beteiligt ist, wird die Hypothekenkrise zu Beginn des Buches in den globalen Finanzsektor eingeordnet. Das darauf folgende Kapitel beleuchtet die einzelnen Akteure mit ihren Rollen, betrachtet die wichtigsten Ereignisse im zeitlichen Kontext und liefert Gründe für das Ausmaß. Anschließend werden die Auswirkungen auf den betroffenen Märkten beschrieben und wird auf die Maßnahmen seitens der amerikanischen Notenbank und Regierung, die der Krise entgegenwirken sollen, eingegangen. Zum Abschluss wird die Situation auf dem deutschen bzw. europäischen Markt behandelt und ein aktueller Ausblick auf die Markttendenzen gegeben. Eine gezogenes Fazit sowie der darin enthaltende Hinweis auf einen alternativen Anlagetrend runden dieses brisante Thema ab. Verkürzte Darstellungen dienen der Verständlichkeit. Die in diesem Buch angegebenen Zahlenwerte basieren aufgrund des intransparenten Finanzmarktes auf Schätzungen der jeweiligen Autoren und divergieren in den Medien teilweise erheblich. Vordergründig soll der Leser einen Einblick in die derzeitige Situation der Finanzwelt und ein Gefühl für die Dimension des Ausmaßes bekommen. Des Weiteren soll er sich der möglichen Risiken in Betracht gezogener Finanzanlagen bewusst werden.
