European and Canadian Thinking About Social Cohesion • Like John Milton's Paradise Lost, the absence of social cohesion is deplored - Alaluf, Mateo. [...] Dick Stanley, Department of Canadian Heritage So-o-o, What IS Social Cohesion? 1 Social cohesion is a process 2 Social cohesion involves a definition of who is in the community 3 Social cohesion involves shared values and also good conflict management in a pluralist society 4 Social cohesion involves expressions of solidarity within a community Therefore, social cohesion is built in part by good c. [...] Citizenship Regime • By the concept of citizenship regime we mean the institutional arrangements, rules and understandings that guide and shape concurrent policy decisions and expenditures of states, problem definitions by states and citizens, and claims-making by citizens. [...] • A citizenship regime encodes within it a paradigmatic representation of identities, of the "national" as well as the "model citizen," the "second-class citizen," and the non-citizen. [...] • It also encodes representations of the proper and legitimate social relations among and within these categories, as well as the borders of "public" and "private."

Book Synopsis Social Cohesion and Immigration in Europe and North America by : Ruud Koopmans
Download or read book Social Cohesion and Immigration in Europe and North America written by Ruud Koopmans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerns about immigration and the rising visibility of minorities have triggered a lively scholarly debate on the consequences of ethnic diversity for trust, cooperation, and other aspects of social cohesion. In this accessibly written volume, leading scholars explore where, when, and why ethnic diversity affects social cohesion by way of analyses covering the major European immigration countries, as well as the United States and Canada. They explore the merits of competing theoretical accounts and give rare insights into the underlying mechanisms through which diversity affects social cohesion. The volume offers a nuanced picture of the topic by explicitly exploring the conditions under which ethnic diversity affects the ‘glue’ that holds societies together. With its interdisciplinary perspective and contributions by sociologists, political scientists, social psychologists, as well as economists, the book offers the most comprehensive analysis of the link between ethnic diversity and social cohesion that is currently available.

Book Synopsis Social and Cultural Impacts of Immigration by : Johanna L. Waters
Download or read book Social and Cultural Impacts of Immigration written by Johanna L. Waters and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an evaluation of recent research on the social and cultural impacts of immigration to British Columbia, focusing in particular on dominant trends of the past three decades. It begins by examining the concept of social cohesion, suggesting its potential as a framework for comprehending these social and cultural dynamics. Our examination draws on Steven Vertovec's (1997) review, 'Social Cohesion and Tolerance,' which examines the application of social cohesion in Europe, and also the Policy Research Initiative report (1996) Growth, Human Development, Social Cohesion, which analyses the Canadian situation. These contexts provide a conceptual framework through which to examine immigration to B.C.. Following from this and guided by this framework, we provide a detailed review and analysis of recent academic research addressing the social and cultural impacts of immigration to B.C. - impacts that are frequently subsumed beneath a preoccupation with political and economic concerns.
Book Synopsis Institutional Accommodation and the Citizen by : Council of Europe
Download or read book Institutional Accommodation and the Citizen written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of accommodations that institutions and citizens must make to ensure social cohesion in pluralist societies is of concern to the Council of Europe. How will we live and interact together in diversity? It is becoming increasingly important to provide responses and devise innovative frameworks (in the legal sphere, in national education and training in competences and in institutional practice) which can help build a shared vision while at the same time respecting each individual. By comparing European and Canadian responses, among others, the articles featured in this volume explore this complex issue. They contribute to a major social debate and outline a vision of the future that allows us to set aside mutual suspicion and develop institutional arrangements and forms of social interaction capable of making diversity a factor for progress, well-being and social justice. They also remind us that poverty combined with stigmatisation based on identity leads to stasis, social malaise and an increase in security measures, which ultimately prevent societies from evolving through risk taking, shared responsibility, dialogue and consultation.
Book Synopsis Social Cohesion in European Societies by : Bujar Aruqaj
Download or read book Social Cohesion in European Societies written by Bujar Aruqaj and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the concept of social cohesion in the context of a comparative sociological study. It proposes an innovative approach to the measurement of social cohesion, considering as constitutive elements social trust, institutional trust, and societies’ degree of openness. Aruqaj observes these elements across time and on multiple social levels: individual (socio-economic inequalities and ethno-linguistic diversification); group (social categorisations and regional statistics of religious, gender, social status, and migration differences); and societal (reflecting the quality of life and human capabilities). This book provides an analysis of social cohesion not only between but also within European societies. It will appeal to students and scholars interested in solidarity and social integration working in sociology, social psychology, and development studies.

Book Synopsis Territorial Cohesion and the European Model of Society by : Andreas Faludi
Download or read book Territorial Cohesion and the European Model of Society written by Andreas Faludi and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second book in a series on European spatial planning, the authors examine territorial cohesion as a successor concept to the European Spatial Development Perspective. Fundamental ideas about Europe and its distinct "model of society" lie behind the concept of territorial cohesion, which can be understood as a goal of spatial equity that tends to favor development-in-place over selective migration to locations of greater opportunity. This approach contrasts with an American social model that views the equity principle behind territorial cohesion to be diametrically opposed to the efficiency principle based on free mobility of labor.

Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Quality of Life and Well-Being Research by : Alex C. Michalos
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Quality of Life and Well-Being Research written by Alex C. Michalos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 7347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this encyclopedia is to provide a comprehensive reference work on scientific and other scholarly research on the quality of life, including health-related quality of life research or also called patient-reported outcomes research. Since the 1960s two overlapping but fairly distinct research communities and traditions have developed concerning ideas about the quality of life, individually and collectively, one with a fairly narrow focus on health-related issues and one with a quite broad focus. In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence. What we have not had so far is a single, multidimensional reference work connecting the most salient and important contributions to the relevant fields. Entries are organized alphabetically and cover basic concepts, relatively well established facts, lawlike and causal relations, theories, methods, standardized tests, biographic entries on significant figures, organizational profiles, indicators and indexes of qualities of individuals and of communities of diverse sizes, including rural areas, towns, cities, counties, provinces, states, regions, countries and groups of countries.

Book Synopsis Solidarity First by : Robert O'Brien

Book excerpt: "An important and timely book that engages a uniquely critical perspective on the liberal ideology of social cohesion from a labour perspective. I can think of no other source with the depth of analysis and range of case studies." – Colin Mooers, editor of The New Imperialists: Ideologies of Empire As working people’s lives become increasingly fragmented, competitive, and unequal, debates about social cohesion capture the unease of contemporary society over growing economic restructuring. Solidarity First examines the concept and practice of social cohesion in terms of its impact on, and significance for, workers in Canada. It will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of public policy, political science, sociology, and labour studies.
Book Synopsis Social Cohesion and Economic Prosperity by : Jeff Dayton-Johnson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists traditionally claim that free markets are the key to prosperity. Now many are coming to realize the importance of the social relationships that underpin all human activities--including the marketplace. Drawing on an array of new economic studies, this book explains the concept of social cohesion and explores its impact on economic performance. It includes case studies linking social cohesion to workplace productivity, school quality, health and the welfare of children. Later chapters examine the origin of social cohesion and the factors that favour or diminish it, with special attention to the fate of social cohesion in the globalizing world. Social Cohesion and Economic Prosperity examines our increasingly frayed social fabric and explores ways in which an emphasis on social cohesion can promote a happier and more prosperous society.

Book Synopsis Multiculturalism and Social Cohesion by : Jeffrey G. Reitz
Download or read book Multiculturalism and Social Cohesion written by Jeffrey G. Reitz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does multiculturalism ‘work’? Does multiculturalism policy create social cohesion, or undermine it? Multiculturalism was introduced in Canada in the 1970s and widely adopted internationally, but more recently has been hotly debated, amid new concerns about social, cultural, and political impacts of immigration. Advocates praise multiculturalism for its emphasis on special recognition for cultural minorities as facilitating their social integration, while opponents charge that multiculturalism threatens social cohesion by encouraging social isolation. Multiculturalism is thus rooted in a theory of human behaviour, and this book examines the empirical validity of some of its basic propositions, focusing on Canada as the country for which the most enthusiastic claims for multiculturalism have been made. The analysis draws on the massive national Ethnic Diversity Survey of over 41,000 Canadians in 2002, the most extensive survey yet conducted on this question. The analysis provides a new and more nuanced understanding of the complex relation between multiculturalism and social cohesion, challenging uncritically optimistic or pessimistic views. Ethnic community ties facilitate some aspects of social integration, while discouraging others. For racial minorities, relations within and outside minority communities are greatly complicated by more frequent experiences of discrimination and inequality, slowing processes of social integration. Implications for multicultural policies emphasize that race relations present important challenges across Quebec and the rest of Canada, including for the new religious minorities, and that ethnic community development requires more explicit support for social integration.
