Since the early 1980ies China - the most populated country in the world - is undergoing an economical and social transformation which is without any parallel in history. If this process continues, the country will be the world"s biggest economy in the next two decades thus becoming a real superpower. While China is building up a world class economy, the country also modernizes its armed forces. This military build-up, foremost the creation of a blue water navy capable of operating on the high seas, causes growing concern and suspicion among its neighbors. The study is giving answers to the question why Beijing is building up its armed forces in this comprehensive manner. Which motives are underlying this modernization? Does Beijing try to achieve the hegemony in the Asian Pacific region? Dr. Thomas Wiegand is a lecturer and researcher specialized in Asian Pacific security affairs. He is working for several academic and research institutions in Germany.
Das Sujet scheint einfach und immer gleich: Achim Lippoth fotografiert Kinder, Kinder in der Tanzschule, im Kinderzimmer, beim Sport, in Kostümen. Die Darstellung und der Ausdruck der kleinen Porträtierten lässt den Betrachter jedoch aufmerken: Anstatt auf kindliche Ausgelassenheit und Vitalität trifft man auf in sich ruhende, teilweise sehr erwachsen wirkende Gesichter und Körperhaltungen. Lippoth überlässt nichts dem Zufall, die Künstlichkeit der Szenerie scheint erfüllt von perfekt komponierter Ruhe, gleichzeitig jedoch von einer Sprengkraft, die sich in der nächsten Sekunde entladen muss. Und gerade dies ist charakteristisch für seine Inszenierungen. Achim Lippoth kann bereits auf zahlreiche Auszeichnungen zurückblicken, zuletzt neben Loretta Lux als Professional Photographer of the Year 2005 in der Kategorie People. Der vorliegende Fotoband zeigt erstmals die Arbeiten Lippoths einem breiteren Publikum.
