English summary: Aggressive and violent behaviour against the emergency services is not just a myth hyped in the media, but sadly a reality. The author illustrates what it is that causes this type of troublesome behaviour and provides concrete advice on prevention and ways of dealing with threatening situations that arise. The aim is to enhance the ability of emergency service staff to deal with stressful and potentially violent conflict situations. Practical examples support the reader in recognizing critical situations at an early stage and avoiding counterproductive behaviour. German description: Aggressives und gewalttatiges Verhalten gegen Einsatzkrafte ist kein medialer Hype, sondern traurige Realitat.

Ziel ist die Erweiterung der eigenen Handlungskompetenz zur Bewaltigung einer Stress- und potenziell gewalttatigen Konfliktsituation. Praxisbeispiele unterstutzen den Leser, kritische Situationen fruhzeitig zu erkennen und kontraproduktives Verhalten zu vermeiden.

U. S. American neo-conservatism has generated tremendous feedback since 9/11 and the period that is known as Global War on Terror (GWOT). Neo-conservatism is widely believed to be the dominant interpretation of U. S. foreign policy since 11th September 2001. The assumption that 9/11 was a neo-conservative moment can be seen as an indicator for this equation. This particular and un-reflected linking of official foreign policy with neo-conservative standpoints is understood as a naturalistic fallacy. Such a change in communicative structures is an expression of the presence of certain culture specific background templates. The GWOT was articulated against this background which included elements of the U. S. American myth arsenal such as the Myth of the Frontier and its Savage War narrative. The GWOT appears to be a continuation of past dominant discourse patterns such as the Cold War in order to manage a crisis situation and create meaning and justification for political decisions.
