Book Synopsis The Transformation of Work in Welfare State Organizations by : Frank Sowa
Download or read book The Transformation of Work in Welfare State Organizations written by Frank Sowa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has New Public Management influenced social policy reform in different developed welfare states? New managerialism is conceptualized as a paradigm, which not only shapes the decision-making process in bureaucratic organizations but also affects the practice of individuals (citizens). Public administrations have been expected to transform from traditional bureaucratic organizations into modern managerial service providers by adopting a business model that requires the efficient and effective use of resources. The introduction of managerial practices, controlling and accounting systems, management by objectives, computerization, service orientation, increased outsourcing, competitive structures and decentralized responsibility are typical of efforts to increase efficiency. These developments have been accompanied by the abolition of civil service systems and fewer secure jobs in public administrations. This book provides a sociological understanding of how public administrations deal with this transformation, how people’s role as public servants is affected, and what kind of strategies emerge either to meet these new organizational requirements or to circumvent them. It shows how hybrid arrangements of public services are created between the public and the private sphere that lead to conflicts of interest between private strategies and public tasks as well as to increasingly homogeneous social welfare provision across Europe.

Book Synopsis Philosophical Anthropology by : Jesús Padilla Gálvez
Download or read book Philosophical Anthropology written by Jesús Padilla Gálvez and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we read Ludwig Wittgenstein’s works and take his scientific formation in mathematical logic into account, it comes as a surprise that he ever developed a particular interest in anthropological questions. The following questions immediately arise: What role does anthropology play in Wittgenstein’s work? How do problems concerning mankind as a whole relate to his philosophy? How does his approach relate to philosophical anthropology? How does he view classical issues about Man’s affairs and actions? The aim of this book is to investigate the anthropological questions that Wittgenstein raised in his works. The answers to the questions raised in this introduction may be found on the intersection between forms of life and radical translation from another culture into ours. The book presents an extensive analysis of anthropological issues with emphasis on language and social elements.

Book Synopsis Social Innovations in the Urban Context by : Taco Brandsen
Download or read book Social Innovations in the Urban Context written by Taco Brandsen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the practice of social innovation, which is currently very much in the public eye. New ideas and approaches are needed to tackle the severe and wicked problems with which contemporary societies are struggling. Especially in times of economic crisis, social innovation is regarded as one of the crucial elements needed to move forward. Our knowledge of its dynamics has significantly progressed, thanks to an abundance of studies on social innovation both general and sector-specific. However, despite the valuable research conducted over the past years, the systematic analysis of social innovation is still contested and incomplete. The questions asked in the book will be the following: 1. What is the nature of social innovations? 2.What patterns can be identified in social innovations emerging at the local level? 3.How is the emergence and spread of social innovations related to urban governance? More precisely, which conditions and arrangements facilitate and hinders social innovation? We explore these questions using different types of data and methods, and studying different contexts. In particular, we focus on innovations that aim at solving problems of the young unemployed, single parents and migrants. This analysis is based on original research carried out in the period 2010-2013 in the framework of a European project with a specific empirical research strategy. Research was carried out in 20 cities in 10 different European countries.
Book Synopsis Religion und Integration im Moskauer Russland by : Ludwig Steindorff
Download or read book Religion und Integration im Moskauer Russland written by Ludwig Steindorff and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wie im gesamten mittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen Europa fiel der Religion auch im Moskauer Reich eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Legitimation von Herrschaft und Integration der Gesellschaft zu. Die Vereinheitlichung der Lebensformen auf der Grundlage orthodoxer Kirchlichkeit war ein Bindeglied für die meisten Gebiete des Reiches. Doch konnte religiöser Dissens die Integration auch fallweise in Frage stellen? Wie weit ging die Kommunikation über die religiösen Grenzen hinweg? Waren doch im Moskauer Reich neben der Orthodoxie auch andere christliche Konfessionen, Islam und Naturreligionen präsent? In welchem Verhältnis standen die protonationalen Integrationspraktiken der russischen Orthodoxie zu den Anliegen imperialer Herrschaft? Lässt sich beim Vergleich mit Westeuropa von 'Gleichzeitigkeit des Ungleichzeitigen' mit Bezug auf Phänomene der religiösen Praxis sprechen? Können wir das Konfessionalisierungsparadigma auf die Geschichte des Moskauer Reiches übertragen? Autorinnen und Autoren aus Russland, Deutschland, den USA, Frankreich und Finnland geben hierzu Antworten. Der von Ludwig Steindorff herausgegebene Sammelband ist aus der X. Internationalen Konferenz zur altrussischen Geschichte her vorgegangen, die 2008 in Kiel stattfand.
Book Synopsis Barriers to Inclusion by : Justin J. W. Powell
Download or read book Barriers to Inclusion written by Justin J. W. Powell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barriers to Inclusion offers a comparative and historical account of the rise of special education over the twentieth century in the United States and Germany. This institutional analysis demonstrates how categorical boundaries, professional groups, social movements, and education and social policies shaped the schooling of children and youth with disabilities. It traces the evolution of special education classification, explores growing special education organizations, and examines students' learning opportunities and educational attainments. Highlighting cross-national differences over time, the author also investigates demographic and geographic variability within the federal democracies, especially in segregation and inclusion rates of disabled and disadvantaged children. Germany's elaborate system of segregated special school types contrasts with diverse American special education classrooms mainly within regular schools. Joining historical case studies with empirical indicators, this book reveals persistent barriers to school integration as well as factors that facilitate inclusive education reform in both societies.
Book Synopsis The Emigrant Communities of Latvia by : Rita Kaša
Download or read book The Emigrant Communities of Latvia written by Rita Kaša and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume examines experiences of contemporary Latvian migrants, thereby focusing on reasons for emigration, processes of integration in their host countries, and – in the case of return migration - re-integration in their home country. In the context of European migration, the book describes the case of Latvia, which is interesting due to the multiple waves of excessive emigration, continuously high migration potential among European Union member states, and diverse migrant characteristics. It provides a fascinating insight into the social and psychological aspects linked to migration in a comparative context. The data in this volume is rich in providing individual level perspectives of contemporary Latvian migrants by addressing issues such as emigrants’ economic, social and cultural inclusion in the host country, ties with the home country and culture, interaction with public authorities both in the host and home country, political views, and perspectives on the permanent settlement in migration or return. Through topics such as assimilation of children, relationships between emigrants representing different emigration waves, the complex identities and attachments of minority emigrants, and the role of culture and media in identity formation and presentation, this book addresses topics that any contemporary emigrant community is faced with.

Book Synopsis Learning Democracy by : Brian M. Puaca
Download or read book Learning Democracy written by Brian M. Puaca and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarship on the history of West Germany's educational system has traditionally portrayed the postwar period of Allied occupation as a failure and the following decades as a time of pedagogical stagnation. Two decades after World War II, however, the Federal Republic had become a stable democracy, a member of NATO, and a close ally of the West. Had the schools really failed to contribute to this remarkable transformation of German society and political culture? This study persuasively argues that long before the protest movements of the late 1960s, the West German educational system was undergoing meaningful reform from within. Although politicians and intellectual elites paid little attention to education after 1945, administrators, teachers, and pupils initiated significant changes in schools at the local level. The work of these actors resulted in an array of democratic reforms that signaled a departure from the authoritarian and nationalistic legacies of the past. The establishment of exchange programs between the United States and West Germany, the formation of student government organizations and student newspapers, the publication of revised history and civics textbooks, the expansion of teacher training programs, and the creation of a Social Studies curriculum all contributed to the advent of a new German educational system following World War II. The subtle, incremental reforms inaugurated during the first two postwar decades prepared a new generation of young Germans for their responsibilities as citizens of a democratic state.

Book Synopsis Transformation Processes in the Yugoslav Successor States Between Marginalization and European Integration by : Henriette Riegler
Download or read book Transformation Processes in the Yugoslav Successor States Between Marginalization and European Integration written by Henriette Riegler and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die jugoslawischen Nachfolgestaaten sind nicht nur die Erben eines durch ethnischen Nationalismus und Gewalt zerstorten Staates, sondern gleichzeitig auch die Verwalter eines auf Einparteienherrschaft und sozialistischer Wirtschaft fuaenden Systems. Vergleicht man die jugoslawischen Nachfolgestaaten mit anderen ost- und sudosteuropaischen Staaten, haben sie deshalb eine doppelte Burde zu tragen. Besonders schwierig war der Transformationsprozea fur diejenigen Nachfolgestaaten, deren Territorium zum Kriegsschauplatz wurde. Notwendige Reformen wurden in diesen Fallen der Verteidigung der staatlichen Souveranitat untergeordnet und dadurch behindert und verzogert. Auaer den enormen materiellen und immateriellen Kosten der Kriege im ehemaligen Jugoslawien erforderte der mit dem Staatszerfall einhergehende Verlust gemeinsamer Strukturen auch die politische und wirtschaftliche Neuorientierung. Der Band beleuchtet die politischen und okonomischen Probleme des Transformationsprozesses. Es zeigt sich: Auf dem muhevollen Weg der Reformen sind diejenigen Staaten am weitesten vorangekommen, denen neben der Aufrechterhaltung ihrer Souveranitat auch die innerstaatliche Demokratisierung gelungen ist.

Download or read book Common Destiny written by Dietrich Orlow and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Socialist or Social Democractic parties played a key role in West European politics during the quarter century after the Second World War, they have been studied far less than their political rivals, the Christian Democrats. The story of West European Social Democracy after 1945 begins with a dilemma: Democratic marxism, which had been the parties' ideological and organizational principle until the Second World War, was becoming politically irrelevant. The three parties analyzed here represent the spectrum of reactions among Social Democratic parties to this realization. The debate over the parties' programs and ideologies did not, of course, take place in a vacuum: the author devotes considerable space to a comparative analysis of the parties' leaders and organizational structures as well as the evolution of Social Democratic domestic and foreign policies. Immensely readable, this book not only offers an in-depth analysis of the postwar period crucial for the history of Social Democracy but also, because of its cross-national treatment of these three major parties, adds significantly to our understanding of the processes of European integration and the evolution of the Atlantic Alliance.
Book Synopsis International Handbook of Migration, Minorities and Education by : Zvi Bekerman
Download or read book International Handbook of Migration, Minorities and Education written by Zvi Bekerman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migrants and minorities are always at risk of being caught in essentialized cultural definitions and being denied the right to express their cultural preferences because they are perceived as threats to social cohesion. Migrants and minorities respond to these difficulties in multiple ways — as active agents in the pedagogical, political, social, and scientific processes that position them in this or that cultural sphere. On the one hand, they reject ascribed cultural attributes while striving towards integration in a variety of social spheres, e.g. school and workplace, in order to achieve social mobility. On the other hand, they articulate demands for cultural self-determination. This discursive duality is met with suspicion by the majority culture. For societies with high levels of migration or with substantial minority cultures, questions related to the meaning of cultural heterogeneity and the social and cultural limits of learning and communication (e.g. migration education or critical multiculturalism) are very important. It is precisely here where the chances for new beginnings and new trials become of great importance for educational theorizing, which urgently needs to find answers to current questions about individual freedom, community/cultural affiliations, and social and democratic cohesion. Answers to these questions must account for both ‘political’ and ‘learning’ perspectives at the macro, mezzo, and micro contextual levels. The contributions of this edited volume enhance the knowledge in the field of migrant/minority education, with a special emphasis on the meaning of culture and social learning for educational processes.
