POLICY SPACE: WHAT, FOR WHAT, AND WHERE?
No full textThe paper examines how developing countries can use existing policy space, and enlarge it, without opting out of international commitments. It argues that: (i) a meaningful context for policy space must extend beyond trade policy and include macroeconomic and exchange-rate policies that will achieve developmental goals more effectively; (ii) policy space depends not only on international rules but also on the impact of international market conditions and policy decisions taken in other countries on the effectiveness of national policy instruments; and (iii) international integration affects policy space through several factors that pull in opposite directions; whether it increases or reduces policy space differs by country and type of integration.

Studien zu den Dachwerken der Kirche St. Michael in Wien
No full textSeit 2011 stehen an der TU Wien in Kooperation mit dem Bundesdenkmalamt (Abteilung für Architektur und Bautechnik), der Burghauptmannschaft Österreich, der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (Hofburg-Projekt) und der Universität für Bodenkultur (Institut für Holzforschung) die Dachwerke der Hofburg im Zentrum von Lehre und Forschung. In diesem Kontext wurden auch die Dachwerke der Kirche St. Michael untersucht. Im Wintersemester 2016 rückten zudem die mittelalterlichen Mauerwerke in Dachraum, Turm und Gruft der Kirche ins Zentrum der Analyse.
Diese Ausstellung präsentiert nun die Ergebnisse der studentischen Forschungen des Moduls Baugeschichte und Bauforschung des Wintersemesters 2016/17 und 2014/15, sowie der Bauaufnahme Übungen I und II.
Die Ausstellung wird durch eine persönliche Führung in den Dachwerken der Kirche beendet.

Feature variability in the bilingual-monolingual continuum: Clitics in Bilingual Quechua-Spanish, Bilingual Shipibo-Spanish and in Monolingual Limeño Spanish contact varieties
No full textDirect object clitics in Latin American Spanish are subject to great variability infeatures across dialects (Camacho and Sánchez 2002; Harris 1995; Heap 2002; Zagona 2002). Variability also characterizes bilingual acquisition (McCarthy 2008) and especially clitic doubling structures in language contact contexts (Luján 1987; Mayer and Sánchez 2016; Sánchez 2003). We focus on the distribution of clitics and DOM in clitic doubling structures among Shipibo-Spanish bilinguals, Quechua-Spanish bilinguals, and monolingual speakers of Spanish in contact with Quechua. We analyze a continuum of clitic forms and DOM as complex cases of feature reassembly (Lardiere 1998, 2005) and functional convergence (Sánchez 2004) that results in new interface rules (Jackendoff 2011) with scalar hierarchies.Peer reviewe
