This book, written in honor of Arno Tausch, presents cutting-edge research on globalization, development, and global values. Internationally renowned authors cover topics such as global economic and political cycles, global values, and support for terrorism.

Over the last five decades, the Austrian political scientist Arno Tausch was a pioneer in studies on globalization, development and global values. This collection of essays takes up the issues dealt with by Tausch and presents perspectives for the 21st Century. Throughout his work, Tausch applied quantitative methods to study the fundamental issues of the global political economy and the global political system, like dependency, economic and political cycles, and global values, based on a rigorous study of available social scientific data, like the World Values Survey and the Arab Barometer.

“The thematic catholicity of this volume offers a fine reflection of the width and breadth of Arno TAUSCH's scholarship. The collected essays address crucially important topics of our age all of which comprised TAUSCH's many publications. Kudos to the editors and contributors for assembling such a fine anthology celebrating a fine scholar.” (Andrei S. Markovits. Karl W. Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)

“To shape all levels of the world so that peace will prevail - this has been the scientific and political impulse of Arno TAUSCH all lifelong.” (Dieter Senghaas, Professor of Peace, Conflict and Development Research (FR Germany), Author of Perpetual Peace. A Timely Assessment (2oo7))

“This book with contributions from experts in the filed represents well Professor Arno TAUSCH’s major contributions to the literature on development, welfare, institutions, globalization, global values, and security using large datasets and advanced composite index methodology in large cross-country comparative studies.” (Almas Heshmati, Professor of Economics, Jönköping International Business School (JIBS), Sweden)

“I first got in touch with Arno when I was Editor of the International Journal of Health Planning and Management, and he was contributing material on how globalisation was adversely affecting public health. As I came to explore his work, I realised that his recent work on health was but a small nugget in an immense quarry. This festschrift illustrates the trajectory of his work, from world systems and dependency to his studies on religions today. Early on, Arno rejected Hayek (and I wish that some of the clowns running the UK today could understand why.) His primary concern is with the marginalised and the underdog, but in the context of a morally inspired social-liberal vision for mankind. He is unusual in being a world theorist with a practical orientation to his theory at the very least in the sense that policymaking would be better-off if it heeded the results of his research. In an age of intellectual dead-ends and self-doubt, Arno is a giant.” (Calum Paton, Emeritus Professor of Public Policy, Keele University, UK)

“As an academic in political science, reading the essays compiled in this book gave me new and interesting insights into TAUCH’s approach to research during his career. It is also a valuable contribution by fellow academics in these fields which builds on the work TAUCH has done with the necessary mindfulness and critical analysis that gives this book valued credibility. In his introduction, the editor confidently hoped that “this work will provide a contribution, however minimal, so that the values chosen consistently show direction to our duties towards one another, our shared humanity.” I believe this book does indeed adhere to these aspirations in a way TAUCH surely approves of and readers will, importantly, understand. I confidentlyrecommend this book for anyone who appreciated TAUCH’s commitment to these values. For some it will be a timeously reminder of our duties to one another, and for others a necessary wake up call.” (Dr Ina Gouws, Political Studies and Governance, University of the Free State, South Africa) Bibliographer social science (talk) 11:37, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, a Festschrift published by Springer might tend to show WP:NPROF C1. Randykitty, I defer to your broad expertise on academic publishing: do you see anything strange about the details behind the Festschrift? I concerned that the current draft of the article here is overlong, and goes beyond good use of the sources, but cutting down is possible. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:35, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• The Festschrift was published by Springer, a reputable publisher. This means that (in contrast to many other publishers' practice) the book has undergone peer review (not the individual chapters necessarily, but at least the original book proposal). As such I agree that this shows notability. The draft at this point is still an unencyclopedic mess, with unneeded trivia, bloated references, and a generally breathless way of praise that one sometimes sees in drafts for minor popular music idols, but not scientists. These have been perennial problems with this article (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arno Tausch (4th nomination)) with more than a whiff of socking and promotion. A well-written bio of Tausch would be a weldome addition, but we're still far removed from that. --Randykitty (talk) 20:09, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

FWIW, I am getting legal threats by email from someone representing themselves as the subject of this page. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 13:27, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

• I seem to vaguely recall similar problems during the previous AfDs, but I may be mistaken. In any case, if they bother you, the Wikimedia Foundation employs lawyers that might provide assistance. Also, if these threats come from an identifiable editor, posting at ANI will get them blocked indefinitely as legal threats are a big no no here at WP. As for myself, I've been overdosed on Tausch and plan to stay at a distance of this. (I tried before, so it remains to be seen whether I succeed in sticking to this statement this time...) --Randykitty (talk) 20:09, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
