    Dualistische Weltdeutungen und dämonische oder diabolische Figuren begegnen in frühjüdischen und urchristlichen Texten in großer Zahl und Vielfalt. Der vorliegende Band untersucht den Hintergrund und die Entstehung dieser Vorstellungen im antiken Judentum und erläutert neutestamentliche Überlieferungen im Horizont ihrer frühjüdischen Kontexte. Besondere Beachtung findet dabei die Frage nach den Ursprüngen des Bösen und seiner Überwindung, nach der Stellung eschatologischer Gegenspieler und der Funktion von Dämonen. Textliche Schwerpunkte sind die Schriftrollen von Qumran und andere frühjüdische Texte sowie die Jesusüberlieferung. Abschließend reflektieren vier Beiträge den Stellenwert dämonologischer Vorstellungen in der heutigen theologischen Reflexion und die Möglichkeiten eines praktisch-theologischen Umgangs mit ihnen. Mit Beiträgen von:Michael Becker, Stefan Beyerle, John J. Collins, Craig A. Evans, Philipp David, Jan Dochhorn, Jörg Frey, Monika E. Götte, Christian Grappe, Theresa Heilig, Albert Hogeterp, Esther Marie Joas, Jutta Leonhardt-Balzer, Enno Edzard Popkes, Hartmut Rosenau, Maike Schult, Eibert Tigchelaar Dualistic worldviews and demonic or devilish figures make frequent and varied appearances in both early Jewish and early Christian texts. By setting out the background and charting the development of these notions in Second Temple Judaism, this volume explains New Testament traditions within early Jewish contexts, focusing on issues of the origins of evil and its eschatological removal, the role of eschatological opponents and the function of demons. Textually, the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Second Temple texts are highlighted alongside the Jesus tradition. Four concluding contributions reflect the place of demonological ideas in present theological thought and problems of handling them in church practice.

    The year began on a positive note. A marked improvement in market sentiment, combined with monetary policy easing in developing countries, was reflected in a rebound in economic activity in both developing and advanced countries. Industrial production, trade and capital goods sales all returned to positive territory, following the slow growth of the fourth quarter of 2011. Although debt levels in developing countries are lower, several countries (notably Jordan, India, and Pakistan) must reduce their structural fiscal balances to reduce debt to 40 percent of Gross domestic Product (GDP) by 2020 (or prevent debt-to-GDP ratios from rising further). As a result, sharp swings in investor sentiment and financial conditions will continue to complicate the conduct of macroeconomic policy in developing countries. In these conditions, policy in developing countries needs to be less reactive to short-term changes in external conditions, and more responsive to medium-term domestic considerations. A return to more neutral macroeconomic policies would also help developing countries reduce their vulnerabilities to external shocks, by rebuilding fiscal space, reducing short-term debt exposures and recreating the kinds of buffers that allowed them to react so resiliently to the 2008/09 crisis.

    The world economy has entered a dangerous period. Some of the financial turmoil in Europe has spread to developing and other high-income countries, which until earlier had been unaffected. This contagion has pushed up borrowing costs in many parts of the world, and pushed down stock markets, while capital flows to developing countries have fallen sharply. Europe appears to have entered recession. At the same time, growth in several major developing countries (Brazil, India and, to a lesser extent, Russia, South Africa and Turkey) is significantly slower than it was earlier in the recovery, mainly reflecting policy tightening initiated in late 2010 and early 2011 in order to combat rising inflationary pressures. As a result, and despite a strengthening of activity in the United States and Japan, global growth and world trade have slowed sharply.

    More than four years after the global financial crisis hit, high-income countries struggle to restructure their economies and regain fiscal sustainability. Developing countries, where growth is 1-2 percentage points below what it was during the pre-crisis period, have been affected by the weakness in high-income countries. To regain pre-crisis growth rates, they will need to focus on productivity-enhancing domestic policies rather than demand stimulus. Although the major risks to the global economy are similar to those of a year ago, the likelihood that they will materialize has diminished, as has the magnitude of estimated impacts should these events occur. Major downside risks include the loss of access to capital markets by vulnerable Euro Area countries, lack of agreement on U.S. fiscal policy and the debt ceiling, and commodity price shocks. In an environment of slow growth and continued volatility, a steady hand is required in developing countries to avoid pro-cyclical policy and to rebuild macroeconomic buffers so that authorities can react in the case of new external or domestic shocks.

    Purpose: The Albanian migration has always reflected a family character, be that before 1945 when Albania was not yet completely isolated, as well as after 1990 when borders were reopened. This feature characterized all types of movement, internal or international, permanent or seasonal migration, return migration or transnational movements, and remigration. The role of the family has been very important in making decisions regarding migration and answering questions from why to how to migrate, from when to where, whom to ask for help or how to invest remittances. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the case study of a rural area in Northern Albania, The Administrative Unit of Dajç, this article explores in detail the roles of family and kinship on decisions regarding return migration, the re-adjustment process, remigration or transnational life. Findings: By exploring the role of the family context in remigration and vice-versa the article reflects that the family biography - including the lifestyle, plans for the future or expectations - has changed due to previous migration experiences or challenges and difficulties when returning to the home country. Originality/value: It demonstrates how individual decisions to migrate or to 'return home' are negotiated and supported within families making transnational life a family project. The article adopts a new approach in the Albanian Migration Studies which may be implied on broader areas for further research in the future.

    This paper assesses whether the global fall in inflation expectations together with increased fear of recession, the economic mechanism that drives asset prices in a model with consumption habits, help to explain the downward trajectory in nominal government bond yields and the stock price dynamics of six major economies from 1988 until 2019. We calibrate the habit model for each country separately. For most countries, focusing the calibrations on matching average ten-year government bond yields allows one to generate articifical time series of bond yields and price-consumption ratios that follow the long-run time series patterns of their counterparts in the data.

    The present study examines the motif of Wanderlust in modern literary transformations of the Homeric Odyssey from the nineteenth century to the present day. It poses the question of how the examined texts present the Homeric hero, and how these transformations signify cultural change. Furthermore, it explores how the tendency to see Odysseus as an incurable wanderer reflects contemporary issues such as migration or the constantly changing meaning of home and what this implies for the confrontation with the Other. As a contribution to the field of the history of ideas and classical reception studies, this doctoral thesis offers a comparative approach to modern transformations of the Odyssey from six different languages (English, Modern Greek, Italian, German, Spanish and French), ranging from Tennyson’s poem Ulysses (1833) to Karla Suárez’s novel La viajera (2005). The way in which the myth is reworked through time not only sheds light on an old story, but also hints at an actual cultural change in the eras in which these transformations are produced. Wanderlust , here denoting a psychological disposition of inner unrest, thus emerges as a specific characteristic of a modern Odysseus. For, many uncertainties and anxieties of human existence are addressed in modern times with recourse to the eternal wanderer Odysseus, as a result of which the hero manifests himself as a deeply modern character and phenomenon. However, the analysis of the Homeric text at the beginning of the study reveals that this aspect of existential Wanderlust is not a completely post-Homeric invention, but arises from the cunning hero's thirst for knowledge and discovery, which, in addition to his longing for Ithaca, was characteristic of him from the very beginning. After Dante Alighieri, many centuries later, elevated this aspect of the Homeric hero to his very central feature, by having him appear in the Inferno of his Divina Commedia ( Inferno XXVI, 52142), it developed into a literary topos that came to dominate the reception of the ...
