Die Autorin rekonstruiert das rhetorische Modell einer Dynamik
offentlicher Meinungsbildung anhand der Inhaltsanalyse der Debatte

Anti-Muslim racism with its attendant xenophobia and (the fear of)
Salafist hostility are two of the most essential problems facing
Europe today. Both result from the enormous failure of the
continent's integration policies, which have either insisted on
immigrants' rigid assimilation or left immigrants to fend for
themselves. This book radically breaks with contemporary approaches
to immigrant assimilation and integration. Instead it examines
non-institutional approaches that facilitate immigrant inclusion
through the examples of three alternative small-scale projects that
have impacted the lives of urban working-class youth, specifically
with second-generation immigrant roots, in Vienna, Austria. These
projects involve online gaming, hip hop as an art form, and social
work as emancipatory pedagogic practice (commonly referred to as
street work). This book investigates working-class teenagers'
social networks and describes an online game designed to provide a
platform for interaction between non-immigrant and immigrant youth
who usually either do not interact or display prejudice when they
engage each other. Hip hop can provide both a necessary outlet for
alienated youth to articulate their frustrations and a highly
effective tool for transforming inclusion conflicts. Social work
with marginalized youth is crucial for successful inclusion.
Specifically individual support in small-scale settings provides a
unique opportunity to open up spaces for discouraged and
disaffected teenagers to gain self-worth and dignity. While the
book focuses on identity formation and the teenagers' agency, it
argues that only projects that include both "newcomer" and "native"
can aid in overcoming exclusionary attitudes and policies,
eventually allowing some form of social bonding to take place.
This book deals with large-scale, systemic corruption, a phenomenon
that it identifies as part of the political landscape in most, if
not all, societies of the contemporary world. While the analysis is
grounded in the political thought of earlier thinkers, especially
Edmund Burke, and integrates the insights of several modern
analysts of corruption, the volume offers a new, updated
theoretical perspective on the topic. This perspective reflects
deep concerns with corruption in a world facing accelerated social
transition, increased economic polarization, and growing distrust
toward political elites in many countries. This book approaches
corrupt practices both theoretically and empirically, offering the
perspectives of scholars who come to the topic from different
traditions and cultures. It contains the collective efforts of
members of the Research Committee on Political Finance and Public
Corruption of the International Political Science Association. In
formulating a comprehensive approach on corruption, the volume
offers insights in regard to new developments in the United States,
in Middle Eastern countries (especially in the wake of the Arab
Spring), in several European counties (Austria, Italy, Spain), as
well as in the People's Republic of China. The analysis goes beyond
the traditional legal definitions of corruption or purely economic
views of it and focuses more broadly on institutional, cultural,
and normative dimensions of this globally important phenomenon.

marginalization in Austria, the book investigates working-class
teenagers' social networks and describes an online game designed to
provide a platform for interaction between non-immigrant and
immigrant youth who usually either do not interact or display
prejudice when they engage each other. Hip hop can provide both a
necessary outlet for alienated youth to articulate their
frustrations and a highly effective tool for transforming inclusion
conflicts. This is achieved through offering individual teens the
necessary means to gain the resilience and social grounding
necessary to help overcome exclusion and marginalization. In
addition to the individual young person's agency, the inclusion
process, of course, also requires corresponding efforts by the
majority society. Social work with marginalized youth is crucial
for successful inclusion. Specifically individual support in
small-scale settings provides a unique opportunity to open up
spaces for discouraged and disaffected teenagers to gain self-worth
and dignity. While the book focuses on identity formation and the
